Im sure del potro is quaking in his boots.

he did vanish totally in the second set today, and besides the match against baghdatis he hasn't really dominated anyone. i predict del potro in straights, but it won't be a demolition job.

Nobody's ever done that to me before and I laughed more than I should have lol

Something like 7-6, 6-4/3 wouldn't be too surprising to me.

 

[Faith]

Yeah! The perfect final

I'm so excited...it will be my first live tennis match! My prediction: Del Potro wins 6:4 3:6 7:5.

Oh, awesome! I forgot you mentioned you were going to that. That'll be super fun. Hope they go three so you get your money's worth

 

[zero_suit]

Fed ain't ready for Delpo.

 

[Faith]

The arena is amazing

 

[szaromir]

del Potro is going to be too solid me thinks...

 

[Reyne]

The key for Fed today is... to serve lights out like that all day long...

 

[Deadman]

He's playing well so far

 

[Sax Russel]

Well at least they both started off hitting really well!

But yeah...

del Potro is going to be too solid me thinks...

Probably this ^^

 

[szaromir]

There goes the first set. But seriously, del Potro shouldn't be allowed to wait to see if his return is a winner and then challenge the serve.
edit: lol. did not see this coming.

 

[Reyne]

lol, thought Federer was jaded after missing that volley but he hung in there and break right back.

edit: OMG Federer stawph playing with my fragile heart like that!

 

[Deadman]

Great point

 

[szaromir]

What a crazy rollercoaster this set is

 

[szaromir]

Roger has been ruining his TB record this year.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Olderer.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Del Potro is handsome.

Edit: What defense by Fed, the man can still move.

 

[szaromir]

Win or lose, good to see Roger back at this level

 

[John Dunbar]

Final Federer has always been the Best Federer (when not playing Nadal).

Still feel like Del Potro will take the third 6-3 or so. Assuming Federer doesn't find a way to lose when serving for the second set.

Edit: good, no need to serve it out, and gets to serve first in the third. still losing.

 

[Smellycat]

Come on Roger!! One more set.

Match has been great so far.

 

[John Dunbar]

starts the set with a double fault. good omen there.

edit: federror makes an appearance. up 40-15, but loses the game with three double faults. goddamn.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Federer DF'ing everywhere.

Annnnnd he's broken.

 

[Niraj]

I picked a bad time to start watching

BAD OMEN

 

[Niraj]

BAD OMEN

I'm a pox

Spoiler

I only saw the last point where he got broken

 

[John Dunbar]

only copious nasal bleeding can save roger now.

 

[Coldnoodle]

only copious nadal bleeding can save roger now.

Fixed.

 

[zero_suit]

Is Serena even trying?

 

[Niraj]

Double faults everywhere

Edit: wow, what's going on in Valencia? Ferrer is getting stomped

 

[John Dunbar]

Ferrer and Serena getting schooled in opening sets. Serena will probably come back, not sure about Ferru.

 

[Sax Russel]

Can't believe Fed dumped that first game so badly in the third. Or rather, I don't want to believe it -_-

 

[Niraj]

That was ballsy lol

 

[John Dunbar]

hopefully federer at least makes him serve it out.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Del Potro's forehand return is mind blasting.

It's amazing.

 

[John Dunbar]

i'll be sure to add the opening game of this set to my federer related nightmares folder.

Lots of material to add from this year

 

[Deadman]

It's a shame he lost but at least he played well for most of the match.

 

[zero_suit]

Delpo

 

[Niraj]

It's a shame he lost but at least he played well for most of the match.

Yeah if not for that boneheaded first game of the third, could've easily gone to another tiebreak. Good for Delpo.

 

[Coldnoodle]

THE YEAR OF DEL POTRO HAS BEGUN

 

[Sax Russel]

Well, can't expect too much from Fed anymore =P, and I do like me some Delpo, so still not a bad outcome!

 

[zero_suit]

THE YEAR OF DEL POTRO HAS BEGUN

...with one tournament left lol

 

[scarlet]

Yaay Delpo

 

[John Dunbar]

this applause will never end.

 

[zero_suit]

Serena comeback?

 

[LuuKyK]

Serena comeback?

NID. She loves her dramas. I am not watching but I bet she will win the set easily, make her crying face and complain about herself even though she is playing GOAT tennis. I admire her a lot, but her attitude lately has been awful.
