Uh-oh. MTO for Gulbis. :/

 

[PS3GamerKyle]

"Injury" timeout

 

[John Dunbar]

gulbis to go get a blowjob or something.

 

[greenleaves]

Apparently Gulbis has a tight hamstring/back/glute or something. Didn't see much change in his play last game though.

 

[tycoonheart]

And that's the end of that for Gulbis.

 

[Dommo]

gulbis to go get a blowjob or something.

LOL.

Oh and

John Dunbar
correct about everything
(Today, 12:23 AM)

EDIT: Pretty poor for the crowd to be booing him upon re-entry.

 

[John Dunbar]

And that's the end of that for Gulbis.

the set is probably gone, but i think it's too soon to say he's done for good. plenty of miracle recoveries in tennis.

 

[clemenx]

LOL. Good thing for the double break.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Gulbis is fine. Using a Nadal technique.

 

[darkwing]

Lol this match has everything

 

[Niraj]

What a shock.

 

[MIMIC]

Gulbis unfazed by this French crowd. Breaks back.

Unfortunately, he's still under the gun

 

[John Dunbar]

second time broken when serving for the set today. first time went on to lose the set. horrible.

Gulbis is fine. Using a Nadal technique.

but you never go full nadal.

 

[Smellycat]

Really Gulbis? Strategic MTO, and then he comes back and hits a bunch of winners.

 

[greenleaves]

Makes me wonder how injured Gulbis actually is.

 

[Dommo]

Goddamnit Federer. Just take the set!

 

[mcfrank]

Dirty play

 

[Saty]

Magic pills.

 

[darkwing]

Strategic move, well done

 

[Niraj]

They really shouldn't allow people to take a MTO like that before the other person serves unless it's something really blatant and serious.

 

[John Dunbar]

if federer gets broken again then i'm giving up on tennis for at least fifteen minutes.

 

[Smellycat]

They really shouldn't allow people to take a MTO like that before the other person serves unless it's something really blatant and serious.

They are actually supposed to wait till their own service game.

 

[darkwing]

They really shouldn't allow people to take a MTO like that before the other person serves unless it's something really blatant and serious.

You really can't diagnose that fast, have to trust the players

 

[LuuKyK]

lol Medical Time Out, more like Magical Time Out for Gulbis.

 

[clemenx]

Oh lol the press conference if Fed loses in this set.

 

[PS3GamerKyle]

Oh man, what are you doing Fed!

 

[darkwing]

Oh man, what are you doing Fed!

He fell for the MTO trap

 

[John Dunbar]

another overhead right at gulbis, but gets away with it this time.

 

[Smellycat]

YES

 

[MIMIC]

Time to GOAT, Ernests. Practice is over.

 

[PS3GamerKyle]

phew jeez

 

[John Dunbar]

takes the set, but gulbis seems to be back in his third set form. i think gulbis has the edge here.

 

[Reyne]

Wow. Just... wow.
Would have been disgusted if Fed hadn't served that out. Seesh.

Still, sort of expect Gulbis to take the fifth now, but you never know.

 

[Niraj]

They are actually supposed to wait till their own service game.

Ah ok.

You really can't diagnose that fast, have to trust the players

Unfortunately it's subject to abuse on both tours. But I guess there's no real solution, you're right.

 

[John Dunbar]

federer needs to take mto for a brain injury.

 

[clemenx]

He looks so bad. Gulbis may not have to do much.

 

[darkwing]

Shesh his wife can play better than that

 

[Niraj]

federer needs to take mto for a brain injury.

Lol

 

[Faith]

New GOAT?

 

[PS3GamerKyle]

federer needs to take mto for a brain injury.

:lol

 

[inm8num2]

Eek, doesn't look good for Fed. Down 0-3 in the final set.

 

[Saty]

thanks for jinxing, eurosport commentator.

 

[LuuKyK]

Welp.

 

[Niraj]

New GOAT?

Yes, Gulbis is going to win 18 slams after this point. We're witnessing history.

 

[MIMIC]

Gulbis holds for the first time after breaking.

 

[LuuKyK]

Damn, that return.

 

[Niraj]

Hard to see Fed breaking back at this rate.

 

[mcfrank]

Hard to see Fed breaking back at this rate.

I really wish Rodger would stop slicing the 2nd serve return. Hit the damn ball with some power.

 

[PS3GamerKyle]

Hard to see Fed breaking, but c'mon! He can step up big when he needs to

 

[rossonero]

When is the Tsonga-Djole game scheduled for? Can't see Federer breaking this.
