July 14, 20196 yr I think Federer is playing better so far, but unfortunately that hasn't translated into a break yet.
July 14, 20196 yr Incredible that Federer, turning 38 next month, is still moving this well. I do think he really needs to win this first set to have a chance at the match.
July 14, 20196 yr FUUUUUCK. Huge chance for Federer to go up a minibreak and he shanks the forehand. And he gets broken right after. Edited July 14, 20196 yr by satyanash
July 14, 20196 yr Two huge winners from Federer!! But an error later, we're still even... Edited July 14, 20196 yr by satyanash

July 14, 20196 yr Just now, satyanash said: Fuck. First set, and likely the match, to Novak Yep. A shame for Fed too, as I though he played better in the set overall - just had too many missed opportunities.
July 14, 20196 yr Novak is a goddamn cyborg. Didn't make a single unforced error the entire tiebreak.
July 14, 20196 yr Novak with 4 straight to go from saving the set to winning the set in the tie-breaker. Now I can take an hour break from watching and see if Roger gets back into the match.
July 14, 20196 yr Lol Novak is so dramatic when he slips. Whoa, Federer breaks to open the set! Edited July 14, 20196 yr by satyanash
July 14, 20196 yr Novak’s lull seems to have started after he fell. Interesting to see how he comes out in the 3rd set.

July 14, 20196 yr Novak with a double-fault to seal the 2nd set for Federer in rapid-time 😶 what's going on? Exact repeat of the Federer-Nadal SF so far, hopefully it diverges from here. Edited July 14, 20196 yr by satyanash
July 14, 20196 yr Just a dominant service game for Federer. Doesn't look like there's anything Djokovic can do about Federer charging to the net.
July 14, 20196 yr Whatever funk Novak's in, Federer has to break his serve now before he snaps out of it. Lol.
July 14, 20196 yr 6 minutes ago, TexArcher said: I mean, 0 break points in two sets for Novak. But Federer's losing every medium-to-long rally.
July 14, 20196 yr Set point gone for Federer... fuck. Federer has no answer for the body serve. Edited July 14, 20196 yr by satyanash
July 14, 20196 yr Fed has been the far superior player for most of the match. He's had some brainfarts in critical moments or this could have been a simple straight sets win. Hope he keeps this level up and doesn't choke away a third set that he deserves.
July 14, 20196 yr Question from a casual observer. Why are the fans so seemingly heavily behind Federer?
July 14, 20196 yr This TB is infuriating. Fed breaking down in critical points like he used to against Rafa pre-2017...Novak is gonna have a 2-1 set lead without getting a single BP opportunity. Disgusting.
July 14, 20196 yr Give him credit - Novak is probably the toughest out in tennis. Just so mentally tough in the big points.

July 14, 20196 yr Looking back over Federer's career, he probably should have about 3 more Grand Slam titles, but for his inability to finish off big points.
July 14, 20196 yr Question from a casual observer. Why are the fans so seemingly heavily behind Federer?It’s the snappy headband.

In a carryover from the USWNT thread, somehow the women, who play Best-Of-3 now earn the same as the Best-of-5 men. Serena, who won 4 whole games in less than an hour, is “fighting for equality” when she will make the same as the loser of this (probably) 4+ hour match. SIDE NOTE: Wish I had this on TV. 😔 Edited July 14, 20196 yr by Napoleon
