Shanghai Masters ATP 1000

[Front242]

Normally I hate Mark Petchey's commentary but have to agree with him there that drop shot from Benneteau was clearly one of the shots of the year.

 

[kskate2]

Lucky netcord gives Fed the mini 2-1

 

[Front242]

Another great shot from Benneteau.

 

[kskate2]

Fed wandering into the net gets it back on serve

 

[Federberg]

This Julien guy has no respect! Love it

 

[kskate2]

Coop is just soaking up all the applause. What a ham! :laydownlaughing 3-3

 

[Front242]

Hope pavlik puts up a clip of that amazing Benneteau drop shot later.

 

[kskate2]

3 SP's for the maestro

 

[kskate2]

Another sweet BH and Fed clinches the breaker 7-4

 

[Front242]

Nicely done. Very good set. Some high quality stuff from both guys. I'm off to pump some iron.

 

[kskate2]

See ya Front

This match is very entertainig as usually between Youngderer and B. Cooper !!

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Fed's second serve points won is %33. Not a great stat...

 

[kskate2]

Coop's lost a little magic, down a double break 4-0

 

[Federberg]

It's like Fed is saying.. you really think you give me trouble? 'Ave it!

 

[kskate2]

Fed drops a glazed doughnut on Coop. 7-6 6-0

 

[DarthFed]

Onion bagel for Cooper's trip back to Hollywood.

 

[Kieran]

So no more bandwagon for Benny against Fed in the DC, eh?

Fed v Djoker! :clap

 

[DarthFed]

Should be good. Slight edge to Djokovic I say but Roger recovered well after the tough first match and should have plenty of energy and motivation.

Slight edge? Nole is on a roll and Federer is in his first tourney back, playing every day.

I'd expect Nole to take this one fairly routinely, although Federer helped his cause by winning the second set so handily. What happened to Benny there, by the way? Gallic flair?
