what the fuck

gulbis hulk mode engaged

 

[Reyne]

Well, that could have ended worse...

 

[darkwing]

Poor Roger, oh well more time for the family and prep for Wimbledon

 

[MIMIC]

Another gift for Federer. Win or lose, this whole thing is up to Gulbis.

 

[Smellycat]

Nice save. Now break him please, or win another tie break to get a positive record this year.

 

[John Dunbar]

federer has to break here, don't see him winning another breaker.

 

[darkwing]

What is Roger doing

 

[PS3GamerKyle]

nice passing shot by roger. he has to stay in this tie break

 

[MIMIC]

Set, Gulbis.

Should be up 2-0

 

[Smellycat]

Federer

 

[John Dunbar]

truly a disgusting set by federer. gifted it away.

 

[greenleaves]

Damn, Roger. Well Ernests should have won the first set and Roger shouldn't have choked this set, so I guess it evens out.

 

[Niraj]

Surprised Isner couldn't even manage a tiebreak.

 

[mcfrank]

Hopefully Federer steps up on the big points soon.

 

[Reyne]

Set, Gulbis.

Should be up 2-0

Such nonsense. One might as well say Fed gifted this set to Gulbis after having failed to convert set point on a overhead.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Not like this....

Gulbis had the initial lead in both sets (as well as in both tiebreaks). Gulbis was the one gifting the lead away.

Also, Gulbis returned that smash. It's not like he missed it or something.

I don't know why people are pretending that Gulbis isn't a quality player or something.

 

[darkwing]

Gulbis, another Fed killer

 

[Diprosalic]

i always said that a poor Gulbis could've been a top 5 player.

Just because you have a early lead In a set doesn't mean you should win that set. There is a reason they play to 6 games not just to the first break.

Eh, I think Gulbis is a quality player though by the way you are speaking you would think he was up against a mug.

 

[tycoonheart]

He is a quality player. But an inconsistent one.

 

[LuuKyK]

Gulbis scares me a bit. He has this psycho vibe about him. And this crazy hair too. lol

 

[Niraj]

MIMIC hates Federer as much as he loves Gulbis/Djokovic. Federer could save him from a burning building while Gulbis stood by and had a smoke, and he'd still post about how cool Gulbis looked so he wouldn't have to offer Fed a compliment.

 

[MIMIC]

Gulbis breaks. One step closer to his RG title.

 

[PS3GamerKyle]

Fed needs to get a grip on his game NOW before he starts spiraling out of control

 

[MIMIC]

GOAT hold

 

[Kensuke]

These days it's frustrating to watch Fed play. I remember how solid he was, capitalizing on every chance he got. He seems so flimsy nowadays.

 

[Ash_69]

Gulbis's ground strokes are pulverising. Federer is shook. Erreror in da house.

 

[MIMIC]

Match should be over. But extra practice never hurt

 

[Saty]

Those lob winners, time after time.

 

[John Dunbar]

horrendous. when your only hope is gulbis imploding, you're in trouble.

 

[LuuKyK]

Olderer is awful, but Gulbis is playing really well.

 

[Sax Russel]

Oh well, time to board the Gulbis train, GULBIS FOR 2014 RG CHAMPION!

 

[John Dunbar]

got to admit, really surprised how solid gulbis has been. i think he made only one unforced error in the third.

berdych will probably school him, tho.

 

[Ape Gone Insane]

Is it common for tennis players to spit on court? Cause that shit is disgusting, bro.

 

[MIMIC]

Only on clay

 

[Niraj]

That's probably the biggest disappointment. Maybe he'll actually back up a win with a win if he makes it through. Not seeing any reason why he wouldn't at this point barring a ridiculous collapse.

 

[scarlet]

As usual I'm rooting Fed, Stan, Aga, Serena and

Spoiler

DelPo ;_______;

Woohoo!

Nadal, Nole, Berdych and Murray gonna win this!

Spoiler

I'm gonna jinx them aren't I?

 

[Niraj]

Woohoo!

Nadal, Nole, Berdych and Murray gonna win this!

Lol I feel your pain my friend

 

[tycoonheart]

Gulbis breaks. One step closer to his RG title.

Lmao

 

[Niraj]

Fed you idiot.

Edit: there you go lol

 

[Reyne]

Looks like the practice will have to go on a bit longer eh?

 

[greenleaves]

Looks like on the brink of defeat, Fed might have found a winning formula. He's taking the ball earlier on the forehand, hitting more to Gulbis's forehand, and using more variety. Hope he can keep it up.

 

[John Dunbar]

based on MIMIC logic federer has now won this set and can only gift it back.

but let's face it, he probably will.

 

[MIMIC]

Federer did well to hold. The only time he didn't just rely on Gulbis to make mistakes.

 

[Smellycat]

Federer please win this!!

 

[John Dunbar]

if federer serves this out it will be an interesting scoreline. 7-6, 6-7, 2-6, 6-2. no idea how the fifth would go.

 

[mcfrank]

Now we see why Gulbis is not a 17 time grand slam champion.

 

[Saty]

Medical timeout.
