AUSTRALIAN OPEN, Melbourne, ATP GRAND SLAM

[britbox]

What are you talking about? It's 47-47 in points at the moment. No-one is dominating and Kei is relying on Fed's UFE's too much at the moment. This match is far from over.

Agreed. Nowhere near over. Hardly just begun.

 

[Denis]

Wow that was poor play by Roger. Should have taken advantage of that good inside out he hit.

 

[Denis]

o_O Easiest shot of the rally missed by Fed.

 

[britbox]

Gets the break.

 

[Denis]

Fed breaks. Kei is completely at the mercy of Fed's unforced errors (24 at the moment).

 

[Vince Evert]

Is it going to be enuf for Roger to win the second set? Is Kei choking (yet again) ?

 

[britbox]

Fed breaks. Kei is completely at the mercy of Fed's unforced errors (24 at the moment).

Yep, and Roger's flowing now.

 

[Denis]

Is it going to be enuf for Roger to win the second set? Is Kei choking (yet again) ?

You might want to look up what choking means.

 

[DarthFed]

Kei isn't choking. Roger has played well after 5-1 down. Kei isn't nearly as sharp as before when he was on fire to start the match but he's still not missing a whole lot. If only Roger had stole that first set this match would be over. Still just a game away from a set all and you have to like Roger's chances, he's got the momentum.

 

[DarthFed]

Roger serving very well at 71% and it's about to be even at a set all, that shows it's a solid effort by Kei.

 

[britbox]

One set each. All the momentum with Federer.

 

[Denis]

Best of three now. Momentum with Fed. I hope Kei can hang in there, but it's going to be tough.

 

[DarthFed]

Nice quick set too. I know Roger is the old man here but Kei is doing most of the running and he might tire first.

 

[britbox]

I can't see Kei hanging with him. Roger's rolling now.

 

[Denis]

Two sets to play at least, that's quite a lot of tennis having already played two sets, but yeah it doesn't look too good. Kei needs to start putting up a fight, lengthen points.

 

[DarthFed]

Roger is in quite the zone serving and is hitting great too. Kei's best hope is to serve great himself.

 

[DarthFed]

3 great points from Roger and he's in business here already

 

[DarthFed]

And there's the break!

 

[Denis]

Fedal final becoming more likely now.

 

[britbox]

The way Federer constructed that winning break point was just superb.
