AO Semi: Stan Wawrinka (4) vs Roger Federer (17)

[Federberg]

y exactly!

 

[brokenshoelace]

Yup, that's what I thought Federberg. He tends to do that a lot.

 

[brokenshoelace]

Haha, Roger thought his return was going out and just stood there. Then recovers and unleashes on a monster forehand.

I like Mats thoughts on strategy and adjustments... but on his general chit chat he's worse for churning out superlatives than McEnroe.

 

[brokenshoelace]

^ Agreed BB. I'd still take the bad with the good with Mats because he is genuinely knowledgeable.

 

[brokenshoelace]

Frew on the other hand is fantastic. Love his dry humor and insight. He might be too dry for some people's taste, hence the lack of acclaim, but he's fantastic.

 

[britbox]

Yeah, Frew is the Don.

 

[britbox]

I like John Newcombe in Oz too... and Lleyton Hewitt. Jim Courier can get a bit irritating.

 

[Federberg]

Frew can be overly biased towards Murray sometimes though

 

[brokenshoelace]

And that's what I was talking about. Bad service game from Roger out of the blue and he's in trouble.

 

[brokenshoelace]

Stan breaks.

 

[brokenshoelace]

I'd be very interested in hearing Lleyton on commentary, especially since he's part of the newer generation of commentators and has played some of these guys.

 

[Federberg]

lol! I'm watching the match on my iPad at work. So when you said Stan had broken I was confused

 

[brokenshoelace]

I really fear for Roger now. Stan can just start playing great randomly and you never know what happens after

 

[brokenshoelace]

Is your stream a bit behind Federberg?

 

[Federberg]

y. Sky Go is always a few minutes behind

 

[britbox]

Another poor game from Roger.

 

[britbox]

I've got it as 5-2 in the fifth... where are you guys upto?

 

[Federberg]

hahaha! surely not?

 

[Federberg]

you are joking aren't you? Coz Stan just won his serve to take it to 4 -1 on my stream
