Gerry Weber Open (Halle) 9-15 June 2014

[Murat Baslamisli]

Bad game again after taking the early break . Brain cramps from Roger.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Roger doing the kamikaze thing again. I know why he does it, but a bit more selectivity , especially against a veteran like Falla would be advised.

Falla's in the form to score a pretty decent upset at Wimbledon again. He was injured for quite a while.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Another TB it is. Let's see how this one pans out. They had a break each here in the second.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Good start from Roger.

 

[tented]

:clap

Congratulations, Federer!

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Congrats to Roger on the 7th. Halle title, to go with the 7 Wimbledons. 14 grass court titles in this era where the grass season is shorter than the summer in Toronto is amazing.

He even knew it was match point this time.

clap:clap

 

[Front242]

Very good TB from Roger. Good stuff. Tough opponent.

Congrats Wodge!

:s

Now if you can just make it into the 2nd week of Wimbledon...

Falla tanked, I can't believe it... :nono

Great tourney for Roger, he has gotten what he needs from Halle and it bodes well for Wimbo...

 

[DarthFed]

Two good tiebreaks and we know Roger will need to win a lot of tiebreaks these days at Wimbledon.

Rule #1 for winning tiebreaks: know you've actually won it when the umpire calls the score...

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Like the great Sampras said, Wimbledon is not about serving , it is about returning. Even though both are important, I know what Sampras is saying. Good looks at second serves have to get converted to points. Swings have to be tightened up, played more compact, chances have to be taken...

Roger had a good prep. I hope he does better this time around.

Mirka looks as though she's ready to explode. When is she due??

Well done by Roger to take yet another Halle title.
Falla, after an unexpected final, can go to Wimbledon with also a good feeling.
