This is what the great triumvirate does. Win sets they really have no business doing

Exactly. He had no business winning that set...

 

[mrzz]

That's what I call stealing a set....

 

[Federberg]

lol! What now?

 

[Federberg]

If Coric doesn't win from here, he'll have some damage from this

 

[Busted]

Yeah...broken to love in the first game of the 3rd set? Really Roger? Oh well...it was nice while it lasted...

 

[Busted]

If Coric doesn't win from here, he'll have some damage from this

Maybe he'll be able to do what Roger does so well - shrug off the bad losses he should have won and move on. But...Roger's back to sucking so Coric is leading again...

 

[Federberg]

Maybe it's well if Coric wins this. Would be far worse if Delpo tunes him

 

[Federberg]

point of the tournament so far surely

 

[Federberg]

Wow! Shocking start to the deciding set from both players.

Has anyone else noticed something Roger hasn't done once so far? Drop shots...

 

[mrzz]

Isn't one of the the signs of greatness winning the ones you shouldn't?

IMO, hell no. But that point to set up the break point at 0-1, yes.

 

[Federberg]

Roger's movement to his forehand side is so average today

 

[Federberg]

Really? Have to agree with Busted. That's a major component of greatness in any sport...

Good discussion here. We can come back to it later. Don't let me forget.

 

[Federberg]

if Coric doesn't hold here this could go away in a hurry

I notice that Coric is pinning him on the backhand side, then hitting to the forehand. That kind of play does trouble Federer. Dojokovic does that very well against Federer.

you're correct. So it probably reflects his lack of punch on his backhand today. Which is also why he isn't driving many returns. Guess he's just not feeling it

 

[Busted]

Not just today. It's been average this whole tournament.

 

[Federberg]

big time tennis from Coric there. Breaker...

 

[Federberg]

damn but Coric is a good mover
