I was texting with a friend after Djoker went out, saying the door was wide open for Fed. He said Fed had a tough draw with Nishikori and big servers like Raonic and Cilic.

I said Raonic can't move well enough, Nishi is useless on grass, and Cilic could come through if he plays at 100%.

I should bet on sports. :smug:

Weber scored 49 points?

:allears: :allears: :allears:
They're painful to watch because he can't close :( It also doesn't help that he's consistantly running into the big 4 (35 times, and he's only won 6 -- assuming he's about to lose this)

but I'm still a huge fan and hope he wins at least 1 slam at some point.

Nishikori matches are where it's at though :getin:


edit: even Feds at 7/10 is loving ridiculous and he's at least somewhat keeping pace, just can't break him ever

Well Federer choked that away. Two double faults, then for the rest of the game was terrified of any more doubles so served up some softball second serves that got punished, then with the volley on the final set point did absolutely nothing with it other than gently push it back to Raonic's forehand.

It's not boring, it's just that neither player is playing particularly well.

Well even if Federer manages to win this I don't see how he wins the final. Two five setters even against power servers is probably to much for an old man who has to play Murray.

I think that might be the first time I've ever seen Federer slip or fall on any surface. He usually has impeccable footwork.
