Jesus that was absurd

Wasn't it? Last time I saw that was probably 7 years ago...

Well the half volleys have always been out of this world even as he's aged but that one was amazing even for his standards

What have I missed gang? Been watching the OKC. Fed looks in great form. Similar to Dubai but likely a level above that.
Kevin gave his best for one set, Roger always was the better player, and second set he just fell apart. Roger in good form and returning cleverly.

Roger in full flow. Better than he's looked in 15 months or more. Serve is great, as is ROS. Anderson hasn't even been able to hurt him with the serve.

Goodbye Mr Anderson.

Great play by Roger. I hope he can keep this up for another, uhm, 4-5 years or so...:snigger

As the Rev Jackson would say, keep hope alive brother! :cool:

I was out and when I came back, the second set was about to begin. I saw only the
second set, it was unbelievable. Especially, the ROS. He has not done this well on ROS
for a long time.

Maestro is fully back.

Can't believe I missed all of set 2. All damn streams died. This one sounds like it's worth watching set 2 when the full match is uploaded.

Too bright for that shirt Mox. It's a clash.

There is no such thing as 'clashing' with grey. It's a "flourish," and personally, I like it.

I'm beginning to wish Roger had changed racquets 3-4 years ago.

No kidding, the only good thing about 2013 is that it was so bad that he felt compelled to change something. Fed mentioned before he had thought about changing racquets but he was still winning his fair share of majors or was at least in the picture until last year.

The man is resistant to change. Just be glad he finally warmed up to this one.

It won't take much time for you to watch the 2nd set. The whole thing lasted about
12 to 15 minutes or so.
