things have settles now, and going as wed expect

by temporary21 Mon 14 Sep 2015, 12:46 am

until that... laser return

by temporary21 Mon 14 Sep 2015, 12:47 am

oh no, second serve s and v and Roger rather gives Novak another break

by CAS Mon 14 Sep 2015, 12:47 am

Sigh.

by Guest Mon 14 Sep 2015, 12:47 am

Federer having difficulty again with his serve - Djokovic a break up. Not good enough from Roger.

by kemet Mon 14 Sep 2015, 12:48 am

I see nothing to suggest that Roger will win a set given how well Novak is doing on the return

by summerblues Mon 14 Sep 2015, 12:48 am

Oh dear. Very one-sided. Fed needs to serve far better to have any hope.

by temporary21 Mon 14 Sep 2015, 12:48 am

btw apparently that point novak got hurt was Sabre? was it? Just looked like he came in off a good return

by temporary21 Mon 14 Sep 2015, 12:52 am

oh dear, thats tight

by CAS Mon 14 Sep 2015, 12:52 am

This reminds me a lot of the wimby final, fed seems edgy

by temporary21 Mon 14 Sep 2015, 12:53 am

oh! That was a real chance to come in!

by temporary21 Mon 14 Sep 2015, 12:54 am

chance goes a begging

by LuvSports! Mon 14 Sep 2015, 12:54 am

Djoko is everywhere and Feds is serving poorly.

Prognosis: Djoko in 3.

by Guest Mon 14 Sep 2015, 12:57 am

Federer being broken at will. 1st serves down to 50%.

by LuvSports! Mon 14 Sep 2015, 12:57 am

Up to 50%. Was 47%!

by CAS Mon 14 Sep 2015, 12:57 am

Novak could have really run away with this

by temporary21 Mon 14 Sep 2015, 12:57 am

Serve power is right down...
some very big second serves all thats keeping him afloat

by kemet Mon 14 Sep 2015, 12:58 am

He will. There is a reason Novak Djokovic is the number 1 player in the world.

by summerblues Mon 14 Sep 2015, 1:00 am

From Cincy through the SF here Fed was only broken twice. But he could have easily been broken three times in this set alone.

His first serve needs to go in for him to have any chance. Otherwise this could be pretty ugly.

by temporary21 Mon 14 Sep 2015, 1:00 am

going to the bh working a treat, a misfiring cannon atm

by LuvSports! Mon 14 Sep 2015, 1:01 am

Djoko's movement tonight is frightening.

Never seen him move this well & sending the balls back with such purpose, asphyxiating Feds.

by temporary21 Mon 14 Sep 2015, 1:02 am

Oh dear, there goes my tenner, and a classic starts to look a little long in the tooth.

Federer now needs to make a HUGE effort, just to make a match of this.

Great set from Novak. Dictated more or less every point. Roger's movement is still great but he is doing far too much running. Really that was a 60 or 61 set in terms of dominance.

Four times - he was broken twice and saved break points in two other games. One easy service game.

Great stretch from Fed.

by temporary21 Mon 14 Sep 2015, 1:09 am

Holds... just about again

by Born Slippy Mon 14 Sep 2015, 1:09 am

Good hold. Novak's focus possibly dipped a bit. Roger needs to apply pressure in this game.

by temporary21 Mon 14 Sep 2015, 1:11 am

Thats a pretty good flick to be fair. Why is he better at that than a real return?

by temporary21 Mon 14 Sep 2015, 1:12 am

not that time

by temporary21 Mon 14 Sep 2015, 1:13 am

Oh!!!! nonono

by temporary21 Mon 14 Sep 2015, 1:16 am

Thats ridiculous!

by temporary21 Mon 14 Sep 2015, 1:18 am

He needed to make him pay...

by temporary21 Mon 14 Sep 2015, 1:22 am

Hes overusing Sabre here, Novak just lobbed him easy.

by temporary21 Mon 14 Sep 2015, 1:23 am

At some point ill stop talking to myself Rolling Eyes

by LuvSports! Mon 14 Sep 2015, 1:24 am

Whizzing through the games now.

by CAS Mon 14 Sep 2015, 1:26 am

I wouldn't say he's over using, it's been 3 times in over an hour?

by kemet Mon 14 Sep 2015, 1:27 am

temporary21 wrote:At some point ill stop talking to myself

As a Federer fan, I do not think I can watch much more of this. There is nothing that Roger can do to win

by summerblues Mon 14 Sep 2015, 1:27 am

Fed not looking quite as shaky now. Also getting more first serves in.

by temporary21 Mon 14 Sep 2015, 1:30 am

What he Can do kemet is hang in there, get a tiebreak, maybe a love 30

by LuvSports! Mon 14 Sep 2015, 1:31 am

Djoko's level is scary good. Feds having to play miraculous stuff.

by CAS Mon 14 Sep 2015, 1:32 am

He needs to keep serving like this and hope for a bad game from Novak, it's very possible but not sure he can do it for 3 sets

by summerblues Mon 14 Sep 2015, 1:32 am

I do not see it that way. Djoko is playing his usual. Yes, it is extremely good, but not better than what you would have expected him to do.

by CAS Mon 14 Sep 2015, 1:35 am

The FH is a bit too off for my liking, doesn't look great even when it goes in

I see it as, retrieving every ball (with purchase), not missing, very good depth and making him play a lot more shots. The court is shrinking.

by summerblues Mon 14 Sep 2015, 1:40 am

Fed looking competitive now but I still think Novak will likely be steadier towards the end of the set.

by temporary21 Mon 14 Sep 2015, 1:43 am

Oh... set point was right there!

by temporary21 Mon 14 Sep 2015, 1:44 am

Crowd getting frankly too involved between points here, umpires had to call calm EVERY point here

by CAS Mon 14 Sep 2015, 1:45 am

Fed always amazes me with his perseverance on certain things, he just keeps coming

by LuvSports! Mon 14 Sep 2015, 1:45 am

by temporary21 Mon 14 Sep 2015, 1:46 am

set point... off a spliced slice
