Nothing was more frustrating than the second set vs Djokovic at RG2012 semis, when Roger raced away to a double break lead only to nonchalantly give it back with two sub-60 seconds long service games.

fuuuuck, will cost federer the set.
edit: oh well, didn't count on a djokovicesque overhead from dimitrov.

From three set points on Fed's serve to being broken serving for the set. Very Federer like indeed =P

federer at 10% routines dimitrov on a hot streak. future of tennis looking bright.
No tennis players in sight like Nadal/Djokovic/Federer. Maybe Tennis will die in 6 years
What a punchline by a SkySports guy. "It's been a successful evening of babysitting for the big Fed".
There could be only one winner once it got to the TB
It means Nadal will scoop 20+ slams because he has no competition from the younger generation...No tennis players in sight like Nadal/Djokovic/Federer. Maybe Tennis will die in 6 years

this is one of the reasons why i think the "weak era" nonsense about federer's records is just bullshit. he may not have had a rival like djokovic or murray (though i maintain it would not have mattered since they would have gotten routined by prime-fed), but at least he had respectable young guns coming at his heels. when federer was in his prime a teenager nadal was already dominating clay and djokovic and murray were rising fast. ain't no fucking teen taking even a set from nadal now.
That gear vanished after he choked both sets to Djokovic in the final of the World Tour Finals last year. He still played at very very high level at the Australian Open, but since then it's been a steady and sharp decline. So the short answer is no. His matches are still entertaining though even if for all the wrong reasons

It's getting to the point where I'm surprised if Federer wins.
Should clarify that I want to see him win.

Federer pls.

federer just wants to improve his tiebreak record. i hope.
He is playing well, the best he's played for many months now. 1 unforced error, 1 goof return and you're suddenly under a lot of pressure.
It was just a lazy service game, that's all.
