Fed won this set and the TB not by x's and o's, but by tremendous concentration and focus. :clap:

The second set Tiebreaker was high quality from both guys.

Hopefully Federers ROS will click better tomorrow

Wawrinka is going to rue some of those last shots, nevertheless a great tiebreaker....
Federer had at least four break points in two separate games in the first set. I think Federer should have won the first set. Wawrinka's confidence shot up once he saw Roger's frustration, after Roger failed to convert the break points.

True...Roger really probably should have won the first, and he played a terrible TB. Stan hasn't beaten Roger off clay, according to commies.

There it is, GSM :clap:

First break the spirit. Then it is easy to break the serve, even twice at that.

He was not just crying, he got his act together like a man.
No, he was whining at the chair umpire like a bitch when he lost the first. Let's not forget when Roger pulls a wobbly, since you lot like to call it on others. Anyway, he won. Not bad, over a gimp who didn't even rate betting odds at the USO. :lulz2:

You think they won't finish tonight?

I thought Rain would follow the lighting issue according to the forecast

He was overhitting a lot in the first set and parts of 2nd set.

As long as he returns well he doesn't lose. They should just work on that shit the next week, return aggressively nonstop. It lifts his whole game. Fed is looking OK though his backhand hasn't really clicked much yet. I like that he is being really aggressive even with a few misses.

Anyone know what Fed was complaining to the chair ump about? Love the tears from Moxie. Let me guess, this is on par with being diva enough to ban an ump from Nad's matches?

Fed's net game was good and he came up so many times. Need to look at the stats for actual data.
