Think Tomas will settle in here on his serve now

 

[Kieran]

Is the gorgeous Ms Berdych in the house..? :heart: :blush:

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

gaah, I missed the start, too busy poasting on here, fed was 2-0 up was he ?..not now. 2-5.

 

[nehmeth]

Hey JLLBorg... Fed stopped the bleeding a little. Holds for 3-5

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

lol at the goof with the flag.

 

[nehmeth]

:wow: Sweet backhand down the line from Tomas

 

[bobvance]

Huge backhand by Berdych. Mr. Easy Power

 

[Front242]

As expected, a much tougher match today than yesterday. As I said yesterday, a win over Berdych would a do a lot more for Fed's confidence than a win over Djokovic, not to mention this is the final so he's playing for a title and more points today than yesterday.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

3-5 is now 3-6...oh no skeletor is winning.

 

[kskate2]

Berd takes the opener 6-3. Fed holds in the 2nd 1-0

 

[nehmeth]

Berdych down 0-30 and then gets his ball called out. Challenges, wins, and comes back to hold for 1-1. Good job.

 

[Front242]

Roger's forehand seems to go to pieces against Berdych the last few years. He becomes a 3rd grade player the way he does against Nadal.

 

[Front242]

Roger's going to live to regret that failed dropshot. What the hell was he thinking.

 

[nehmeth]

Nice exchange at the net... Tom wins.

AND the break!! Yes.

 

[britbox]

Uphill battle for Roger now. I'd be surprised if he gets back from this.

 

[Front242]

^ Didn't expect him to win anyway. He has far more trouble against Berdych than Djokovic and while yesterday was a great win, today was the main challenge and he's failed so far.

 

[Front242]

That's more like it, Roger.

 

[Moxie]

Not so fast. There's the break back.

 

[britbox]

Breaks back anyway.

Rodge gets feisty and digs in for the break back. Not over yet Front.
