A chance, perhaps.

 

[Kensuke]

Probably last chance. Now or never.

 

[Mortemis]

There you go Fed. Don't go down so easily and break back.

 

[Niraj]

Can you get one of these?

 

[Omzz]

Even if he breaks I'm not getting my hopes up

 

[MIMIC]

Well at least the 5th has been better in quality (and drama)

BPs for Fed

 

[Randy Monk]

propecia

Looks irreversible to me. He needs to call Wayne Rooney ASAP

 

[Deleted member 231381]

that was a monster forehand, insane

 

[AdventureRacing]

Got a second serve as well. Another terrible shank. It's

 

[Kensuke]

Pouring salt on the wound eh

 

[Niraj]

Wow what a shock

 

[Mortemis]

There's some much needed luck for him. Lol

 

[Deleted member 231381]

the net is blatant gloryhunter

 

[perfectchaos007]

Fed with the let court advantage

 

[AdventureRacing]

Great shot from Nadal.

 

[Niraj]

Nadal just wants it too much

 

[FTF]

Roger blowing it again on this break. Broken record. Defeatist Roger. So frustrating.

 

[Electrichapel]

Just started watching but has Roger been returning this horrible all match?

 

[PedroPanache]

Rafa's picking shots from his glory days.

 

[scarlet]

Congrats Rafa, and actually I'm being sincere.

You guys are The GOAT.

*Turns tv off*

 

[AdventureRacing]

Another poor shot from Fed.

 

[Moobabe]

Just wild shots all the time when under pressure from Federer. So frustrating to watch.

 

[Leonsito]

Nadal firing on all cylinders right now, he even hits winners now.

 

[Mortemis]

Yeah this is prob over. That FH is working too well to Nadal.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

No, he was returning great in the third. Started after his meltdown in the 4th at 1*-2.

Such drama

Considering his between point routines, did you have to write "picking"?

 

[milanbaros]

Nadal so close to securing that GOAT status.

 

[PedroPanache]

Just started watching but has Roger been returning this horrible all match?

It's been up and down. He was playing beautifully at the start of the fourth and just completely went off the boil. Nadal has been hitting better and better, and has changed up the serve going into the body more as well. It's been working out quite well for him.

 

[JBwB]

Good hold Fed! Break him!

 

[Moobabe]

Nadal's approach has changed - he's so deep now - but Fed hasn't altered his strategy to counter that at all.

 

[Hazzuh]

Not sure I can take watching Fed lose to Nadal again

 

[FTF]

A little life at least.

 

[PedroPanache]

Considering his between point routines, did you have to write "picking"?

Where do you think he got those shots from in the first place?

 

[Kensuke]

Gotta respect Nadal for hanging in there and taking the opportunities Federer gave him. That and playing some great shots on break points (as usual). Mentally he's probably still the strongest player on the tour and also a major reason he's probably going to win today.

 

[Smellycat]

Please break back Federer

 

[Costa Kid]

Not sure I can take watching Fed lose to Nadal again

It's painful to watch him lose in so many finals

 

[Randy Monk]

Such drama

Federer deserves better fans but the scars of defeat to Nadal is still visible after all these years

 

[Leonsito]

Federer body language is clear... He's done.

 

[jett]

Get a grip feddies.

 

[Dispatch]

C'mon, Fed. Get this break!

 

[Deleted member 231381]

For an all-time great, Federer has an absolutely atrocious mental game. He folds like a cheap deckchair under pressure.

Nadal broke him at some point (AO 09?) and he's never really believed vs him since

This is obviously not true

 

[JBwB]

Keep up the pressure!

Break him you magnificent bastard!

 

[Leonsito]

Yeah the combo of Wimbledon 08 and that killed his confidence.

 

[Kensuke]

Well, there is lots of frustration remaining over his last 3 finals against Djokovic as well. Federer can't seem to play at the level he shows earlier in the tournament. How many break points did he miss during the USO Final? If he was playing close to his best and not choking/making tons of errors I think fans would be more at peace. Seeing the great champ become a bit of mental midget is not fun.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

This is obviously not true

It really is, though. He's a great frontrunner, but if he loses a set or misses a series of break points in a row, he often just crashes out of games mentally for a bit. Been that way his whole career.

 

[scarlet]

Such drama

My TV was on but I wasn't actually watching cuz I was and still playing video games :/

 

[Niraj]

FUCKING GET IT
