Fed is on pace for 7.

Incredible miss on BP, wow

So far I am waiting...and the kit has come to play, but that miss was...wow.
Roger breaks anyways. Let's see if he plays better with a lead.

i have very little expectation from fed for the rest of the year tbh ive said this before. but i did think he would play better than this but maybe its better in the long run if he goes out here earlier and gets rest.

Depends on your definition of "the long run". This is a major, and Federer's main concern, at this point, is winning majors, isn't it? Why does he need rest? For next year's AO? Next year's FO?

Incredible miss by Tiafoe too.....

 

[kskate2]

Not at all KS, he has 3 doubles and barely above 50% first serves in

I know you are a tough critic of Fed, but he's got a fair amount of aces and unreturned serves. Now he's got the break in the 2nd set. He's playing a bit better in this set. You have to admit that much

There was only one way to go from that 1st set clearly. But if Fed is serving 50% and with 3 doubles he is serving terribly. It's just that it's still been the best part of his game so far.

 

[Carol]

Well 4-1, not bad at all.....

We can hope. His movement has at least picked up a bit the past couple games.

Those New Yorkers are loud as hell. No surprise the sound is driving the players wild.

i guess long run meaning he doesnt sustain any injury causing him to miss 6 more months or something like that

 

[kskate2]

As usual the lower ranked player has come back to earth, but it was a nice little run while it lasted. Now he will get run over by a Lebron freight train.

 

[kskate2]

The NYers are loud cuz most of them are pretty plastered.

 

[Carol]

The players say that they can't hear the sound of the ball well

Lol Fed ain't quite built like a LeBron freight train But I know what you mean. I still think there will be drama this set. The double break would've helped. Regardless Fed the freight train seems to have left after Wimbledon.

 

[kskate2]

No more drama this set. Fed will break the next game thus ensuring the double break and serving first in the 3rd

 

[DarthFed]

Fed hitting better but it's helped that Tiafoe's game and intensity has dropped a few levels

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Tiafoe's backhand slice is really ugly...

 

[herios]

Roger plays like crap. Because Tiafoe game falls apart as I write, he will still win playing his D game

 

[Carol]

Oh my, Tiafoe is starting to deflate

 

[kskate2]

Told ya so!
