US Open 2018, Flushing Meadows, NY USA - Grand Slam (Men)

[DarthFed]

Oh, again with the surface excuses for Roger. It's also hot and humid. That makes it play slow. And the players, too.

It's a fact that it's really slow hardcourt. He is playing some scrubby grinder and having to press a little too hard. Hot conditions make it faster, humidity makes it a little slower

 

[El Dude]

Millman's doing his best Baby Djokovic impression.

 

[atttomole]

The Millman is chasing every ball. He thinks he can win this one now.

Hot and dry makes it faster. It's like 85% humidity here. That makes the balls slow, and the players, too. Even Roger is sweating.

 

[nehmeth]

Millman is panting while he's getting ready to serve. No matter how fit he is, I doubt he can sustain this level much longer.

Maybe he's right.

Without being able to watch any of the action, i think the pattern of how the match has turned around as was/is being described by our friend , plus playing at night where normally the conditions are slow, i can't see Federer turning this thing around. Millman in 4.

 

[rafanoy1992]

What is Federer doing right now?!

 

[DarthFed]

What a mega clown. Going to lose this set from 40-0 up

Tie-break. This will tell us a lot.

 

[Vince Evert]

tiebreaker equals heartbreaker for one of the players, in the context of how this match has developed, AYE MOX

 

[rafanoy1992]

Federer's volley into the net 3-all.

 

[DarthFed]

Inventing new ways to lose to Milkman.

 

[Moxie]

Duffed that. They keep showing this one suffering and celebrating Fed fan in the crowd.

 

[rafanoy1992]

Better backhand from Federer 4-all..

 

[atttomole]

Excruciating to watch him miss routine volleys like that.

 

[DarthFed]

Roger's dad has that look of "you dragged me all the way from Switzerland to watch this"

I'm rooting for Roger.

 

[atttomole]

He has become ordinary.

 

[rafanoy1992]

Federer's return of serve is just plain horrible right now!

 

[Moxie]

He has become ordinary.

Well, today.
