Fed won 8 points more than RBA so far this set, ie two games worth. Would be criminal if he threw the set away in the TB now ...

Looking only at the scores& stats - Roger lost only 7 points on serve so far, and only 1 behind his first serve. He must have played a hell of a loose game to get broken!

Good thing he got the break back. Looks like he may clinch this TB with a single mini break.

Fed comes out as a winner in TB (just watching scoreboard tick at work).

Wawrinka breaks to take the first set. No surprises so far today then.

... but Zverev breaks at the beginning of the second.

^Yes indeed. Perhaps Roger isn't taking him seriously enough

Fed takes an early break in the second set. Will he run away with it now?

It almost feels like sometimes there are certain guys (or times) Roger just doesn't feel like playing

Can't watch this match but the scores are frustrating. Fed gets broken back at the beginning of the second set. Here are two more break points for him though ...

Wawrinka meanwhile in deep trouble, down a double break in the second set against Zverev.

It's a shame that Bautista can't serve better because his stomach issue otherwise he could have won the first set and maybe the second one too, VamoS!!!!

Part of Roger's problem today is he isn't handling BA's 2nd serve like he's done vs. the rest of the field and it's affected his game. BA is doing well in keeping it deep but part of that is due to Roger not being able to hit the first ball so cleanly on the return and getting him on the run.

And he's serving like ass. RA is playing well and like everyone else on tour this is probably one of the best surfaces you can hope to face Rog on.

Wawrinka now down a break in the third! Can he come back?

Roger's first serve percentage is even worse in the second, 47%. RBA could still win this ...
