I'm talking Kyrgios? Who are you talking about? Hopefully not sweet Sakkari

That's exactly who I'm talking about! She can't match 2017 and will drop out of the top 50 pretty soon! Sorry! - :whistle:

Tribal call: All Feddies assemble; TMF on court.

I don't know much about his opponent Gojo; has never seen him play. Let us see how it goes.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Easy hold for Gojo to begin with.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Fed is quite rusty. Gojo had 2 BPS in that game. Fed Dfed also.

Serve is not at all clicking.

But, managed to hold the game.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Fed had a BP, but could not convert. On serve. Gojo 2-1.

Fed also ran nicely to a dropshot by Gojo and won that point.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Just like flipping a switch, Fed's serve is back on right in his second game. A love hold with three aces.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Fed breaks to go up 3-2.

I just turned it on and saw that sitter that Gojo dumped into the net. Doh! LOL. GSM, Gojo is one we were looking at a couple of years ago, but he hasn't done much since. If Fed looked rusty in the first games, he seems to have shaken it off already.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Another easy hold for Fed to go up 4-2.

This one include one 1-2 punch, one S&V and one ace.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Gojo holds. Fed showing decent movement.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Fed regressing slightly. Gojo had 3 BPs on that game, but could not convert any.

Fed up 5-3.

Fed DFed again in that game.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Fed will now serve for the set.

Also, if Fed wins this match, his next opp is Lucas Pouille who has already won two matches here.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

A love hold to win the first set 6-4.

 

[Moxie]

I need one more USO and one more Wimbledon. Then I'm good...I think. All depends on how many Nadal wins. That determines if Roger had an amazing career or just an underachieving one.

There, I fixed it for you.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Fed 13 W and 13 UFE in first set. Gojo 6 W & 18 UFE.

 

[Moxie]

I was pleased to see that Nick pulled it out today, and not surprised that Tsitsipas had nothing today. Probably just as well for Stefanos.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Fed breaks to begin the second set.

The Russian site Hoergren gives dynamic odds. Right now, Gojo has 2% chance to win this match.

 

[Moxie]

Fed 13 W and 13 UFE in first set. Gojo 6 W & 18 UFE.

Probably more than a few of those 18 were forced.

 

[Moxie]

Fed breaks to begin the second set.

The Russian site Hoergren gives dynamic odds. Right now, Gojo has 2% chance to win this match.

Funny, that's the name of our favorite Wozniaki fan poster. Anyway, 2% seems optimistic.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Fed is pushed all the way to deuce, but consolidates the break to go up 2-0.

Normally, I would not bother watching first round match of Fed, but when his coming back from a break it is always dangerous.
