Noventi Open / Halle, Germany, ATP 500, 2019

Roger gets broken by a pusher. He is playing long points because he can not get his first serve in.

Good start, keep the pressure up and blast through the spoiled princess.

Why is Agut a spoiled princess?

It's a joke, Ernie Gulbis called him a spoiled princess after a match a few years back

The sudden drops in level is a painful reminder of last year. I don't want to think of him losing to this maggot but it might be for the better

I see, I missed that one.

I was about to say the same. We have shades of 2018. If that is the case, then his season is over.

Embarrassing stuff

Finally managed to see some tennis, yesterday saw Federer Tsonga, good match, but now just saw the second set against RBA and I can positively say that was the worst set I have seen Federer play on grass.

 

[Federberg]

There are matches where Roger puts absolutely no pace on the ball. First set was ok, but this.. this is atrocious now. He doesn't deserve to win...

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Oh great, again lost a set!

Darth you are right, the old man is tired. May be he has so much accumulated mental fatigue now.

Does not bode well for Wimbledon if tom, dick and harry can break his serve.

 

[Federberg]

There's simply no excuse for this type of performance against a guy like RBA who I respect a lot. But he simply doesn't have the type of game to cause the old man problems. Colour me disgusted..

 

[mrzz]

That Federer would not be able t o control the baselines rallies against RBA I was kind of expecting. But the quantity of second serve returns that Federer missed just trying to put it back on play was mind blowing.

I don't.

 

[mrzz]

The guy is good, GSM. He is showing a lot of quality here.

 

[kskate2]

Had to do some work for awhile didn't see it. What happened to Borna?

 

[kskate2]

Did anyone else see that ass sign?

 

[mrzz]

Not exactly TMF but at least Federer raised his level.

 

[mrzz]

RBA blinks just when he couldn't and Federer wins. He played decent tennis on the third apart from one very odd returning game.

 

[atttomole]

Did anyone else see that ass sign?

From who?

 

[kskate2]

It's a sideboard. It's huge. Green and white and says ASSMAN :lulz2:
