get in..some awesome fh get fedster oout of jail.

 

[kskate2]

one set down. one to go

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

ferrers "gerbil on the baseline" tactic not enough so far...again.

 

[mrzz]

What Federer fans should do in case of defeat?

a) Be rational: it is 3 straight finals after all.
b) Give up and start rooting for Dimitrov.
c) Give up and start rooting for Nadal.
d) Accuse someone of doping.
e) Shoot ourselves in the head.
f) Shoot Federer in the head.

You forgot g) all the above

In that case the order is extremely important.

 

[crystalfire]

whenever feds defending on hard courts he rarely slides which is a really good thing in terms of health

 

[kskate2]

he leaves that for all the youngins crystal

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

Stefan says yes.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Backhand is good today...

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

David back in it with a break, up 2-0 in the second.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

yikes.

 

[DarthFed]

Roger is serving bad and is all around too vanilla. Making things more interesting than they should be.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Ferrer about to bagel Roger. Great...

 

[Moxie]

If David wins this set, does last night's long match come into play?

 

[crystalfire]

if fed loses this match im gonna have to follow that list by mrzz

 

[DarthFed]

Roger isn't good enough at net to live up there. Poor volleying and approach shots aren't going to get it done.

 

[kskate2]

good lord. I step away to answer the phone and it's 5-0?

 

[DarthFed]

Like I said if he loses to Ferrer he can go play with the kids cuz it means he isn't winning anything of note again. It doesn't get lower than this set.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Roger though David was going to roll over after the first. Not happening. Davis has all sorts of momentum now and Roger has to seriously start playing.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

phew..Federer wins a whole game.
