1-10 now for break points for Fed :nono

 

[Front242]

Tsonga's through in 3 (7-5 6-3 6-3) against Volandri. Not a bad showing from Volandri.

Isn't that 14 years? That's crazy.

 

[Front242]

Duckworth is pretty damn good with his challenges!

 

[Front242]

110F (43C) out there now. Probably warmer on the court.

 

[Moxie]

Nishikori up 4-1 in the 5th v. Matosevic.

 

[Front242]

Commentators are saying it took them an hour to keep the canopies on the chairs closed. Fun sitting on a 120F chair alright. Very nice of them.

 

[crystalfire]

feds not gonna win this ao or even get far with that slice return.

 

[Front242]

Roger gets another break point. Still a horrendous conversion record though.

 

[I.Haychew]

Who names their kid Storm Sanders? I mean seriously?! Sounds like a hurricane or a wrestler/MMA fighter!

Great name for a pro athlete, I'd say. Good thing she is one.

I agree it's a cool name for a pro athlete but still

Anyway, bye bye to the lovely Camila Giorgi and hello to Fed. Hope he doesn't play like a complete tool.

The giorgeous one won!

Nishikori- Matosevic locked in an endless game.

Federer storms through the 2nd set as well 6-4..

Federer asked the umpire if the canopy above players seat could be down all the time. but he said no... :huh:

..while the umpire is sitting all the time..erm..under a canopy. :nono

Yeah, the winner of that match is toast next round.

Took them an hour to leave them down. Ridiculous. Gotta be fun on the short breaks they get to sit on a 120F seat. Cheers for that umpire. Twat.

 

[Front242]

0-40 to deuce. Good man, Roger. Not.

Must be a "dry heat"' ' cause these guys are barely sweating.

Yeah they said there's not much humidity which is good.
