Australian Open Day 5: Friday, January 23

[DarthFed]

His poor form has continued over from 2014. AO is always a long shot for him as he hasn't done anything here since 2010 but losing this early would be a disaster.

What the hell two sets down to Seppi? This will be a new low if he loses to Seppi in straights.

 

[DarthFed]

The new low was losing 6 of the last 7 points in the tiebreak to Seppi. It doesn't get much more ridiculous than that.

Well played by Seppi!. If Roger wants to win he will have to play to 5 sets....

 

[DarthFed]

It's tough to break the mighty Seppi it appears

 

[nehmeth]

Ralf and Rodge have been playing some ugly tennis here in Oz.

 

[DarthFed]

Let's see how he blows it this time...

 

[DarthFed]

There's the break, now if he can stop serving WTA style.

But is not how you start but as ends :idea:

Blame it on IPTL.

The IPTL champions Indian Aces are going down one by one.

1. Ana Invanovic went down to a doubles player.
2. Gael Monfils out in 2nd round
3. Sania Mirza seeded 2nd in doubles goes down in 2nd round.
4. Rohan Boppanna seeded doubles player goes down in 2nd round.


Will Federer be the next IPTL champion to go down? :devil

Actually Seppi made a monkey out of Djokovic at RG a few years back too leading by 2 sets also. On his best days he can be a very high quality player. Gotta go to work here so will miss it unfortunately but watched one game and the commentators said Federer was way too tentative first 2 sets. Seppi looks like he's playing very well from what little I watched.

Yep. When they switched sides, with Roger up 4-2, I thought it was all but over, but he wanted to show us a car wreck in slow motion.

Fun fact. Seppi lead by the same score against Novak at RG '12, winning the first 2 sets 6-4 7-6 just like today.

That is weird. And if Roger breaks here, he'll get the third 6-3.


EDIT: He didn't. Roger will serve for the set at 6-4.

 

[Carol]

Is Fed yelling?

 

[Carol]

Ohhhhh Seppi.....

 

[Kirijax]

Well, Fed gets one back. Two more to go though...
