London ATP YEC - Federer v. Wawrinka SF

[Moxie]

A rematch of last year's grudge-fest.  Who do you like?

 

[Billie]

Ha...not easy to predict, at least for me.  Stan should walk out and sit in Roger's seat LOL  Is Mirka going to keep her mouth shut?  That can be another wager   I'd like for Stan to win, but he is so hard to judge sometimes.

I'm liking Federer, and I think he gets this done in straight sets.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Stan is too inconsistent for my liking at this year's tournament,Roger has been playing well,Roger in straight sets.

Roger has been consistent, and Stan has been...well, sometimes inconsistent and sometimes dreadful.  I'm guessing Roger in straights.

Mirka'll be the winner of this anyway

I think BB is sleeping, deservedly so, but we can use this thread instead of chat feature to post comments about the 2nd semi final, if anybody is around.  Hopefully they both play well and we have an interesting match.

I shan't be able to be I am not near a television, but I am recording it in order to watch it later. I will give you my comments. Course, my comments don't matter at all, but it's fun to do It anyway.

 

[Billie]

Both guys held at love.  There will be a lot of good serving here.

Absolutely it is fun.  I even comment on non tennis related things LOL....

Stan got to deuce here....but Federer holds.

 

 

[Billie]

Was that Hugh Grant sitting in Stan's player box?  Certainly he is close to Magnus.

 

[Billie]

First blood to Stan, breaks Fed first with the help of a couple of lucky net points.

 

[Billie]

And they are back on serve.  4 all.

Not if Federer can help it.  I question Stan's decisions to go to the net on those last points, but Federer does well to pass him and takes set #1 7:5.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

..Federer breaks again. which he did. so no tb this time round then. 7-5 to the swiss bloke.

can 'abandon-the-fam stan' recover after losing set one from a break up ?.

 

[Billie]

Stan missed an easy forehand to have 3 break points in the very first game and now loses his serve.  At this point I don't think he can turn this around.  He would have to play much better and force Fed into errors.  Unlikely.

 

[Billie]

Stan is avoiding inevitable for these brief moments.  Fed to serve out the match.

 

[Billie]

Alright, Nole vs Fed final.  Should be a good one.

Stan should be happy about this season, he won a major and 3 other titles.   Good job.

Hey guys. Sorry I overslept after the first semi! so no live chat. Thanks Billie.

Live Chat will be open for the final.

So Fed wins in straights. How was the match?
