[The Special Juan]

The crowd are getting far too rowdy. Almost as bad as the RG crowds.

[CAS]

Fed is having all the chances, yet not taking them you always fear the worst when that starts happening. Thanks Woestijnrog, did expect it to be higher I must say

[kemet]

Roger's return is really letting down in this match and his net play has been dreadful. This is going to be cannon fodder for those that say Roger is a poor net player

[barrystar]

Ah - perhaps a chance....

[Guest]

It's been a great match. Normally these long matches on grass are completely serve dominated with very short points. This hasn't been the case today. Lots of mid-length rallies.

I agree Fed's return has been woeful and his volleying has been below par, but then the windy conditions may have something to do with that and the fact that DP hits with so much pace makes it tough to handle the ball at the net.

[Guest]

Wow what a point from DP

[The Special Juan]

I felt the ground shake up here when Del Potro lurched for that ball.

[Josiah Maiestas]

no way would Muzza or Djoker hold from 0-30 at this stage of a match

[barrystar]

What a high quality match - you've got to take your hat off to both players.

Kemet - is it really fair to criticize Fed's returning given the quality of the del boy serve?

[Josiah Maiestas]

DP drama queen expert, diving forp oints pretending hes injured. Not as entertaining as seeing Tsonga do it

[CAS]

I think Fed has thrown in some really good returns, but DelPo has backed it up so well

[Josiah Maiestas]

I think Fed has thrown in some really good returns, but DelPo has backed it up so well

exactly. Kemet has no clue about tennis other than boring moonballing.

[The Special Juan]

Ah game over.

[A-Darts]

Come on Federer...

[barrystar]

It was always coming. Now let's see him serve out

[Josiah Maiestas]

finally the brute's 3000 mph forehands doesnt pay off

[User 774433]

Fed wins!
Now Azarenka next

[User 774433]

Who do you think Federer would prefer to play in the final?

[Josiah Maiestas]

federers footwork is challenger level standards today

[barrystar]

Wow - del boy is a total trooper

[The Special Juan]

I love tempting fate. Another 20 games please!

[break_in_the_fifth]

Fed

[JuliusHMarx]

Fed wins!

Ummm....

[User 774433]

Fed will break now.

[Guest]

Fed wins!

WTF?

[Josiah Maiestas]

Fed

I know. Its like getting over the winning line is twice as hard when not playing for himself

[A-Darts]

Dely will win this now. I have a feeling Federer will never get a singles Gold.

[barrystar]

Fed wins!
Now Azarenka next

A Dr. Sincere moment

[Josiah Maiestas]

rogers never going to get any short balls from DP like he does from nearly everyone else. Give the big man credit guys

[JuliusHMarx]

Fed will break now.

Ummm.....

[kemet]

Roger has no one blame but himself if he loses this match. He finally breaks at 9-9 and then a few shanks later is broken at love.

I am really furious.

[User 774433]

Fed wins!
Now Azarenka next

A Dr. Sincere moment

Premature spejaculation.

Don't worry Fed will win.

[Guest]

Fed wins!
Now Azarenka next

A Dr. Sincere moment

Except with inverted emotions.

[Guest]

Fed will break now.

Ummm.....

Ermmmmmm...

[User 774433]

Lol

[Guest]

If this goes on much longer both will be cooked for the final.

[The Special Juan]

If this goes on much longer both will be cooked for the final.

I was thinking that but Murray and Djokovic could knock lumps out of each other too.

[CAS]

This is not good

[User 774433]

If this goes on much longer both will be cooked for the final.

Hmm maybe.
The AO semi between Nadal and Fed this year was a bit longer. Also Djoko Fed in FO last year was 4 hours I think.

But remember Murray and Djoko play later and that might be longer.

[CAS]

That is unreal, no one can ever say to me Federer can be mentally weak. Even if he loses this, that was something

[Josiah Maiestas]

the swiss and argentine viewers must be having heart attacks by now.

[Josiah Maiestas]

That is unreal, no one can ever say to me Federer can be mentally weak. Even if he loses this, that was something

if he was mentaslly weak he would have lost this in 2 routine sets.

[barrystar]

Is the final tomorrow or on Sunday?

[Woestijnrog]

Is the final tomorrow or on Sunday?

Sunday.

[Josiah Maiestas]

honestly where was this Del Po level of performance against Ferrer few weeks ago?

[The Special Juan]

Shazza beats Kirilenko and is through to the final.

[CAS]

Fed leaves the court a lot more these days, I wonder what he's up to? Is it to just clear his head? Or get to his opponent? I dont know

[lydian]

He's getting abit older now, it'll be his prostate.

[kemet]

That is unreal, no one can ever say to me Federer can be mentally weak. Even if he loses this, that was something

I don't want to quibble, but getting broken at 10-9 is a bit too much for me, especially when Del Potro has been serving so well.
