Hope they say something about Trump at the Final.

 

[Westlo]

Hope Fed beats Stan....

So Nadal can make this happen again.

15 soon to be 16 after the French.

24-11, 10-2 in Grand Slams.

Fed's got this.

 

[Randy Monk]

STAN

THE MAN

quote for truth

 

[Niraj]

Let's go Fed

 

[JBwB]

Keep up the mental pressure Fed.

 

[Niraj]

Damn, was hoping he could grab one of those

 

[leng jai]

0-40 and he tries to hit two topspin backhand returns instead of his usual chips. Classic Federer.

 

[Niraj]

Whew, knew that game would be a struggle after the previous one. Glad he ended up holding.

 

[AoM]

Hoping Federer in 4.

 

[Niraj]

Finally an easy hold. Hope he gets the break here.

 

[Spiritreaver]

Gotta give my love to the Williams sisters. About time we got to see them together in the finals again.

 

[AdventureRacing]

Can see the nerves starting to come in. Federer was playing more freely the rest of the tournament, he's gotta hold it together. Fun game so far.

 

[JBwB]

Very tight match so far!

 

[AdventureRacing]

Feels like the match is in a knife edge. Both serves look vulnerable. Feel like Fed is showing a lot of the same signs he has shown in previous years when he has faltered at the business end of the tournament.

 

[Niraj]

*exhales*

 

[Smellycat]

PHEW

 

[Niraj]

YES!

 

[Smellycat]

YEEEEEEESSSSSS

7-5 Federer

That set could have gone either way

 

[JBwB]

Fed takes the first set!

Glad to see him playing relatively well from the get go.

 

[Mortemis]

Man that first set was all tension.

Wish I didn't have class tomorrow so I can watch the whole match, but at least Fed takes the first set.

 

[Niraj]

lol crazy point there

 

[Smellycat]

Fed takes the first set!

Glad to see him playing relatively well from the get go.

To be honest, Federer didn't really play all that well in the first. I felt like Wawrinka had the upper hand in the first. Federer did well to keep holding and keep the pressure on Wawrinka.

Federer hasn't been totally relaxed, and I think part of it has to be due to his 1st serve percentage.

 

[JBwB]

Both of them seem frustrated lol.

 

[leng jai]

Wawrinka still sleep walking through the match like it's the second round.

 

[Kensuke]

Both are not really playing their best. Whoever steps up could run away with it. Imo Wawrinka looked poised to do it, but now he let Federer get a little comfortable by losing the first set.

 

[Niraj]

Yes!

 

[JBwB]

Wawrinka gifting the break -.-

Good for Fed though!

 

[Niraj]

Man he murdered that racquet

 

[oti]

It's like there are two Federers. The regular one and the break point one.

 

[Kensuke]

Lack of concentration there from Stan.

 

[miserable]

Yeah I'm done with this match. Disappointing showing by Stan.

 

[Smellycat]

YES

 

[JBwB]

Match should be over in 3 sets unless Wawrinka breaks out of his lull.

 

[Niraj]

One more set! Let's gooooooooo!

 

[oti]

This pleases me.

 

[Smellycat]

Federer leads 7-5 6-3

Biggest difference in the 3rd set is that Wawrinka is serving first

 

[Randy Monk]

bloody hell, where is the Stanimal?

 

[JBwB]

[Sax Russel]

One more set! Let's gooooooooo!

You are very excited about seeing Fed lose to Nadal in a final =P

 

[Kensuke]

Honestly if Stan manages to wake up I could still see him win a set or more. Federer feeling super comfy now though.

 

[Elaugaufein]

At this rate the single's finals are going to be a real flashback.

 

[JBwB]

Not sure but I think Stan was crying as he was walking off the court.

I feel bad for him but at the same time I really want Fed to finish this quickly.

 

[Horsefly]

what's happened to him?

 

[Kensuke]

You guys looking forward to those 'dream finals'... you do realize it won't be as fun when Serena and Nadal win in straight sets right?

 

[autumnleaf]

I would personally find Nadal winning in straight sets very fun

 

[JBwB]

I wouldn't discount Fed yet lol. A lot has happened since they've last faced each other (where Fed won funnily enough).

 

[Niraj]

Quiet, you D:

 

[Kensuke]

I guess it's time to stop dreaming about the final for a bit.

 

[Smellycat]

4 setter?
