Hi, El Dude!

 

[DarthFed]

Sweat monster Rafa

 

[mrzz]

what Federer is doing?

 

[Moxie]

Sweating in sports is a time-honored tradition.

 

[DarthFed]

He's had about 5 sitters at net and has hit right back to Rafa every time

 

[mrzz]

why he gives Nadal this shots? with an open court?

 

[DarthFed]

Feds serve has gone away this set too

 

[Moxie]

Rafa went the wrong way on that.

 

[El Dude]

Nice

 

[DarthFed]

Good D by Roger

Good morning all here on east coast of USA! Roger did what he had to do in first to have a chance I see. I saw the last game. Federer looked good there but he still overbite when playing Nadal. Rafa looked comfortable in the game before breaking Roger and now roger has to hold serve to have a chance. That pint--which roger won--is something Nadal can do all day .

Hey Dude and Shawn

 

[Moxie]

Hola, Shawn!

 

[Moxie]

Nice ROS.

 

[shawnbm]

Hey bb--it looks like the old thing with these two.

 

[britbox]

Phew. Thought one of Feds was out then. 4-2 Nadal

 

[Moxie]

Still touching distance. How about you give us an easy hold, Ralph?

 

[shawnbm]

Nice by Roger but he is still down a break. Now we will see every serve into backhand and default mode

 

[britbox]

Agreed shawn but the courts a little more in Feds favour.
