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

I was talking about him only. I am watching through the site recommended by him. In that stream, they always show the live odds of the matches.

Gojo holds. Fed up 2-1.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Fed holds to go up 3-1.

During the last changeover, darthfed walk up to Fed and reminded him that he will forever be known as a loser, if Rafa overtakes the GS record.

Finally I got some time to watch a match... and it is this pretty mediocre one from Federer. Actually, more than a handful of bad calls all against Gojowczyk... including one glaring hawkeye error (yes, exactly that). Even Federer got embarrassed I guess.

This Gojo guy can hit some deep flat shots though. Testing Roger's footwork for sure. Some good signs from Roger but he needs a couple matches on this surface under his belt.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

No Esurance break. Gojo holds. Fed up 3-2

I saw that. It looked clearly that the ball was out as the mark was on the surface. But, hawk-eye called it in and its decision is final. The problem is that hawk eye is actually calculating the trajectory of the ball as opposed to simply seeing all the recorded videos to figure out.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Easy hold for fed to go up 4-2.

I see you follow odds very closely. Are you a mathematician?

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Gojo holds again. Fed up 4-3.

Not exactly. But, I wanted to be one.

I honestly expected more from hawkeye. Maybe this is a one-off, but, hell, it was not even close.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

No sound in my stream since 10 mins ago.

Fed holds to 5-3.

But I saw your beautiful equations and functions on the equations thread. I thought you were a mathematician.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Gojo does not go away easily; holds to a score of 5-4.

Fed will now serve for the match.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

That's it. GSM 6-4, 6-4.

 

[mrzz]

The good signs I see on this is that Federer beat a pretty solid player, and he (Fed) was mostly going for the kill.

 

[atttomole]

The great one wins in 2 sets. It was a workmanlike performance.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Fed was rusty in the first two games only. Even Mirka looked concerned. But, he quickly got back on track.

I don't know much about Gojo (this is the first time, I am watching him). So, difficult to say what it means.

But, I will take a straight sets win.

I saw that Hawkeye error. It's worth remembering that there is a margin of error, but best that we all just accept it.
