Fed up 4-1 with a double break ...

 

[Puppet Master]

Guys and gals, this isn't even fun anymore. Roger is straight up abusing Rafa. The high bounce isn't doing $hit for Nadal. Fed is also bludgeoning winners, and actually showing greater intensity than Nadal. He will need to go into a higher gear to even make this competitive. Too many errors.
LOL and Fed blasts a backhand return winner down the line as I am typing this Jesus Christ...

If you can, be sure to tune in, or at least watch the highlights of this Fedal match. It will either be a beatdown, or Rafa mounts an epic comeback. The former seems way more probable at this point.

Depressing result. Losing to Kyrgios again.

Ugh.

one is a fluke, two is not. Give Nick some credit? he's beaten 3 all timers already.

 

[Moxie]

Roger's BH totally standing up to Nadal, with the bigger racquet that he's finally used to. Commies giving Annacone the credit for convincing him of the change.

My goodness Rafa, I hope an overcame or a much better second set by you, VAMOS!!!!!

Too many errors by Rafa, hope he overcame or a much better second set, VAMOS!!!!!

Fed won first set of 2006 (?) RG 6-1 IIRC ... really hope this one ends differently!

Roger now serving for the first set at 5-2.

 

[Ricardo]

I didn't say it, Courier did. And he's so far up Roger's ass. I just thought it was funny.

don't think he is, as he also questioned Fed's time out at AO.....he didn't question others time outs but singled out Federer, knowing that he actually had 6 months lay-off during to injury. For you to refer such low jab (not to a fact but to someone else's comment), you know what you meant.

 

[Moxie]

Terrible short shit.

 

[Carol]

Too easy first set win, hope to see something very different...:cover

 

[mightyjeditribble]

Listening on the radio. Sounds like Fed is on fire. Hope he can keep it up for another 40 minutes or so!!!

 

[mightyjeditribble]

Another early break. Come on!!!!

Fed is not on fire, Rafa is on ice which is very diferent :cry

This bludgeoning just shows how much Nadal's game has declined and Fed has found new ways to win (SABR, improved BH, etc). Nadal hasn't really added anything new to his game and his shots are short and way too predictable. I can't even say that he will win RG like this.

Fed is not on fire, Rafa is on ice which is very diferent :cry

:hug

Could also be both.

I won't count Rafa out; he's more than capable of coming back into this match. And even if he doesn't here, clay-court season isn't too far away, and that has a habit of rejuvenating him ...

 

[Carol]

Horrible game by Rafa. Roger has passed every match very hard and now he looks like Tarzan thanks to the awful serve and game by Rafa doing error by error, incredible but true.

 

[Moxie]

This crappy serving is not going to get it done for Rafa.

 

[Moxie]

and he can't be missing sitters.

He was playing much better than this, this is ridiculous, he seems to be completely off
