Indian Wells, BNP Paribas Open, Masters 1000

That cross court backhand Roger hit to earn the two set points...that was hard ! Good set for Roger.

Chung looks like a cyborg. He is very powerful.

A Cyborg?

Great game from Rog there to take the set. Impressed with the kid's forehand tonight. Not the prettiest shot but he's hitting it really clean off that wing tonight.

That was a rocket, put the pressure on him.

 

[Moxie]

Chung has to work on his serve. He's tall and strong enough to have a better one.

 

[DarthFed]

Loose game here from Rog, Chung should break

 

[DarthFed]

Punishing point. This guy is a backboard

 

[mrzz]

Chung is really good, but Federer is oscillating from zero to hero almost by the point.

Against Berdych he served better. One thing is that Federer is more aggressive on the return, but on the other hand he might be feeling the moment.

 

[DarthFed]

Fed hasn't been too consistent with his forehand this tournament but can't complain too much. He's doing alright aside from the all around awfulness of that first match.

 

[Moxie]

3-0 down in the 2nd. Chung has Roger right where he wants him. LOL.

His game is generally good, and if he can improve his serve, he could become a formidable player.

That's what Gilbert is saying right now.

The inside in forehand is not working out. Pulling it wide all the time. Is it windy there I wonder.

 

[Moxie]

Mo Lahyani is loud and scary...and wrong in that moment.

 

[mrzz]

The great virtue I see from Chung here is the ability he has to keep up in rallies played at an insane pace. He even seem to have the upper hand in hand in some of them, and I cannot think of many guys able to do the same. Playing like that, against 99% of the field, he does not even need to fire winners to win.

 

[atttomole]

Magnificent backhand.

 

[DarthFed]

The inside in forehand is not working out. Pulling it wide all the time. Is it windy there I wonder.

Yes and strangely it is some low-paced junk balls that he's misfiring on from that side. Not sure if it's that windy, it often is at this tournament.

 

[DarthFed]

Roger trying to apply the screws here, virtual match points

 

[DarthFed]

And there's an ugly DF. Nice set from Rog after that first game.
