Another chance

 

[FTF]

Wow

 

[Dispatch]

What a backhand for the break from Fed!

 

[Niraj]

OH MY GOD, YES! SERVE THIS SHIT OUT!

 

[Slaythe]

It's like Federer specifically trained to fuck Nadal.

But it's not like he could expect Nadal to be back on top like this so... it's sick.

 

[Sutton Dagger]

Massive break

 

[PedroPanache]

I think the fact that Nadal has lost a bit of speed has taken some of the potency out of his attack on the Federer backhand. He's been caught off guard by so many good backhand returns this set.

 

[Kensuke]

Oh man, Federer is hot shit right now. This set is done. I'm sure Nadal can recover just like Fed did for the new set, but this is a good development.

 

[greenleaves]

YES ROGER! Don't let up!

 

[Mimosa97]

Come on Roger !

 

[Sax Russel]

Fed's backhand tonight has been sooo much better than expected.

 

[Omzz]

Holy shit

 

[mcfrank]

Wooohoooo

 

[MIMIC]

lol wow. Stunning turn of events

 

[Empty]

oh man i hope he can take this momentum into set 4

 

[clemenx]

I fell asleep midway 2nd set.

I can't believe my eyes

 

[hamchan]

Fark Federer actually winning a challenge

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Nadal's decision to flatten out isn't working. Really needs to go back to hitting the big spin.

 

[JBwB]

In their previous match ups it was usually Federer that was under pressure and Nadal was the one applying it.

It's so surreal what we're seeing at the moment.

 

[Slaythe]

EAGLE EYES

 

[PedroPanache]

Nadal looks tired. Whenever he changes direction, he looks a little bit laboured.

 

[Kensuke]

No drama plz, serve it out.

 

[Clegg]

Fed's serve

-_-

 

[FTF]

A double fault, come on Roger! :/

 

[Niraj]

Come on Roger, don't make it easy for him

 

[AdventureRacing]

Fed looking like a different player here. Normally after that second set he would have rolled over easily by Nadal. Question is can he keep it up? The first couple of games in the 4th set may well decide the match.

 

[Omzz]

Serve bot it

 

[Niraj]

Come on...don't let him back into the set

 

[JBwB]

His level dropped again haha.

 

[Tekniqs]

Oh oh.. Is fed getting tight?

Yes, it will determine at least the length of the match. Nadal might dig deep and blitz Fed like he did in the second set.

 

[Mimosa97]

I haven't followed Tennis for the past 2/3 years. How did Federer drop so low in the rankings ? Did he take a break ?

Also I feel so nostalgic right now watching these 2 legends battling it out. I don't think I'm the only one.

 

[PedroPanache]

And there we have it. Fed fans you can now come out from behind the couch and enjoy this final a little more. I'll be behind it with all the Nadal fans watching it in horror.

 

[Horsefly]

great finish

 

[Tekniqs]

Yes!

 

[perfectchaos007]

Nadal's only hope is if Fed starts to cramp up before he does.

 

[Niraj]

One more set Roger! Just one more!

He got hurt after the AO last year. Didn't play too many events. After Wimbledon he took the rest of the year off.

He was out of the tour for 6 months due to his knee.

 

[RelaxedOtter]

Just one more set, you can do it Fed.

 

[FTF]

Impressively dominating set by Roger. Have to stay up to see if he wins it now! lol

 

[greenleaves]

Come on Roger! Just keep it up. Don't relax too much or get tight.

 

[Kensuke]

Not going allow myself to get too excited yet

 

[oti]

one
more
set

 

[Mortemis]

Aight Nadal, get this fourth set and give us an incredible fifth set!

 

[Omzz]

I sacrificed my sleep for a reason. You better win this shit Fed

 

[Clegg]

Nadal is now going to scrap for every single point. Fed needs to win this in 4.

 

[jett]

This is the first time in my life I'm kinda rooting for Federer over Nadal.

I don't know why this is happening.

 

[clemenx]

Pls sort the serve out. No 5 sets pls

 

[Boozeroony]

Those backhands...

 

[Smellycat]

Federer please keep this up!!!
