Roland Garros Day 6: Friday, May 30 - Order of Play

[britbox]

Strong hold from Djoker. Looked like Cilic was going to get the break back immediately.

 

[kskate2]

After several SP's by each player are saved, Iznah takes the opening breaker 15-13

 

[DarthFed]

You'd think Mama Cilic would be keeping a low profile after getting caught feeding her son drugs for lunch. Instead, she dresses him like a banana.

First blood to Novak in the fourth with an early break.

Time for him mom to bring him some "prescriptions"

 

[kskate2]

Fed gets the break at 3-3 in the 4th and then holds. One game away 5-3

You'd think Mama Cilic would be keeping a low profile after getting caught feeding her son drugs for lunch. Instead, she dresses him like a banana.

You would think so.

Novak lost focus in the third set. Up 3-0 and had three break points but could not consolidate.

 

[kskate2]

2 MP's for Fed

 

[britbox]

Novak will break Cilic here.

 

[nehmeth]

Novak will break Cilic here.

:snigger from 0-40 to deuce again...

 

[kskate2]

Fed gets through in 4 sets 7-5 6-7(7) 6-2 6-4

 

[britbox]

Novak will break Cilic here.

:snigger from 0-40 to deuce again...

I think I'm about 20 seconds behind you with my feed on Foxtel.

 

[nehmeth]

Novak's first service % is below 50 for the match. That's why Cilic is still in this at all.

 

[britbox]

Cilic's success rate when hitting a running forehand is virtually zero.

 

[britbox]

Novak's first service % is below 50 for the match. That's why Cilic is still in this at all.

Partly, but there also seems to be tendency to fall asleep when the game should be in the bag.

 

[DarthFed]

This is what happens when you let someone hang around as Djokovic has. Nole isn't playing terrible but he has missed just enough in key moments to make this a match.

 

[nehmeth]

Geez, I think I spotted Todd Martin sitting behind Vajda and Becker. :cover

 

[britbox]

^ Exactly. This should have been done and dusted already. Now we're back on serve.

 

[kskate2]

Berd up 2 sets. John/T-Rob appear to be a real battle. Probably another TB in the making. 3-3 in the 2nd

 

[nehmeth]

Novak's first service % is below 50 for the match. That's why Cilic is still in this at all.

Partly, but there also seems to be tendency to fall asleep when the game should be in the bag.

Well for Novak's fans, that's a given.

 

[kskate2]

Who here thinks Novak breaks and ends this match, right now? Me me me...

 

[nehmeth]

Ump overrules again... this time though he was correct.
