I'm happy to hear is a quality match. As soon as I get off of this airplane, I'm going to go to the nearest bar and plant myself.

I know AP. He is insufferable. But I don't have any other choice unless I stream on the computer. I do enough streaming at work. It's nice to watch a match on tv for a change

I switch to NCAA and watching tennis on my iPad but via ESPN so I have it muted.. I know he reads these posts...

Missed the first set, has the level dropped a bit?

Yes, mostly from Stan. He played a heck of a first game to break but has been a little more erratic since. Roger isn't playing quite as well as set 1 but still pretty well

Do you think so? I thought he played a really smart game there.

Smart for sure. But it feels like the cunning you use to cover up a lack of rhythm. He's scrambling. Reminds me of that O2 semi

I don't see it that way. He's been pretty steady aside from a few games where he couldn't buy a first serve, and the first set was pretty top shelf throughout

Poor returning from Roger that game, could've applied more pressure

I think I know what my issue with Roger is now. I don't feel like he's winning his service games with authority. A bit more application from Stan and I feel he might have had more chances to break

I'll be interested to see Federer's first serve percentage in this set. He can't seem to buy one at the moment.

I give Stan credit..unlike Nadal.. Stan is coming forward and battling..

Even w/ a crappy return and weak 2nd serve today, Stan is keeping this close.

Stan is brutalizing the ball. Roger did well to hold there
