God this is fucking retarded. And that scrub is going crazy acting like he's having to do much to win this match :facepalm:
Aw John Millman stepped up at 7-7 in the tiebreak didn't he? He showed intestional fortitude (guts). Give him some credit.

Hey some of you need to put your bias aside and be reasonable.

Why does Roger keep using the dropshot/soft volley? He wins some, but Millman is getting to a lot of them.

Federer still wins in 5 sets of course but OMG, he has no chance of beating Djokovic the way his playing.

Blonde, crooked teeth, bad lipstick, slack mouth? That's her. She's the Uniqlo rep?
I don't know mate, I didn't see her. I was just kidding about the Uniqlo rep when you said the person was dimwitted.

But from the description, I'd hazard a guess at Hillary Clinton.

I hope that Roger fan won't commit suicide.

It'll be murder\suicide because I think he might kill Roger first. Dear Lord...he's looking like an old man AND playing like he's scared to play Djokovic on Wed. Yeah, I said it out loud. This is similar to the a couple of other shitty US Open matches he's played - Robredo and Berdych...and the first 2 1/2 sets against Monfils and the up-and-down matches against Taifoe and Youzhny last eyar. Just ugly tennis. 34% first serves? Hell, I haven't played in over 20 years and think I could get in 34% of my first serves!

And BTW - Roger has sucked since he got back to World #1 at Rotterdam - and taking the Uniqulo money. I figure this is Nike karma biting him in the ass. He choked away IW with 2 match points. Couldn't beat Kokkinakis in Miami. Couldn't take out Coric in Halle on one of his favorite courts. Blew a 2-sets lead to Anderson at Wimbledon. He got to the Cincy final with his C-game...and the 4th Round here with his C-game. OK...he was a B against Kyrgios, but overall...he hasn't played well since Rotterdam.

Yes, I believe I already said that. However, if Roger wins, he might get Novak, and we might finally get a Fedal match at the USOpen. I can start rooting for Millman down the road. :D

You think Roger would have a chance in hell against Novak playing like this? Talk about dreaming

Millman was on an upswing path even before this match breaking through into the top 50.
If he wins tonight he will break into the top 40 like D-minor.
Aussie tennis makes a comeback (aside Kyrgios who is coasting flat).

Good point. Millman is stepping up to the plate and taking his opportunities. That said, he's above his usual tree line. I think he has to get it done in for, or he's not going to win. Even though Roger is an old codger, I think the "5th set is psychological" rule applies, and RF wins.

That's what I'm staying up late for. Not against Roger, either. :dance3:

Keep telling yourself that. Little miss innocent can't take a couple bad words for Ralphy. All you Nad fangirls are the same. Hoping to have his shrunken balls up close and personal.

Are watching the same match? He's back to not being able to break serve again. He doesn't seem to be moving very well and his tactics are crap tonight.. And even if he gets through this match? He'll be toast against Djokovic because Djokovic has got to be watching this and licking his chops. 34% first serves? That's a 6-0 set against Djokovic...

Fed's first serve % 1st set 45%, 2nd set 31%, 3rd set 62%.

He doubled it and still lost the set. :cry:

Federer just do not know what to do during the rallies especially on his return of serve.
