Roger has started playing really well, but it's doubtful he can now sustain this level for two full sets.

edit: not even half a set :|

 

[LuuKyK]

Yeah he woke up but I don't think it will be enough, he is still kinda average. Delpo is not missing like he usually does.

:lol:lol

Bye Fed.

Nice to see a Nadal Delpo semifinal

 

[LuuKyK]

Bye Fed.

:X

 

[szaromir]

12 points in a row. Don't throw this gift away, Roger.

 

[Akito]

12 points in a row, that's quite a run.

EDIT: ;__;

 

[Faith]

Ok a little bit to early xD

 

[Niraj]

I guess that was a nice time to turn the match on

Edit:sloppy sloppy sloppy

 

[Akito]

Oh Fed

 

[szaromir]

Federror :|

 

[Niraj]

Definitely earned that one

 

[szaromir]

Gotta say this is a great rivalry, all the chokes and dips of concentration only add to the drama.

Good return game from Roger, his BH chip return really held up.

 

[szaromir]

Dat BH slice.

 

[Faith]

What the fuck? Federer stops the rally because of his challange, he is wrong and Delpo didn't get the point?

The line judge screamed out, but she immediately recognized her error, the chair umpire corrected it, Roger challenged the correction, got it wrong, but they still replayed the point because it was the line judge who stopped the point.

 

[John Dunbar]

whoever loses, nadal wins.

 

[Faith]

Sorry my mistake.

 

[Niraj]

That was fun

 

[Sax Russel]

That was fun XD

 

[Faith]

Delpo doesn't seem to take this match serious xD

 

[szaromir]

Choke in 3, 2, 1...
edit: not yet

 

[Niraj]

Alright, don't choke.

 

[Smellycat]

Please hold Federer!!

 

[John Dunbar]

federer serving for the match. didn't expect this a while back.

just do it. it's going to be heartbreaking to see federer lose to nadal at the O2, but it's better than not knowing what would have happened like all those times at the us open.

 

[szaromir]

Break point...

 

[Niraj]

Match point!

 

[Reyne]

Bye Fed.

Bye Delpo.

 

[Sax Russel]

^________^

But... but I think I'll sleep through his next match >_>;;;

 

[Deadman]

That ended up being fun.

Interested to see which federer turns up tomorrow.

 

[Akito]

Dat ass.
Great comeback, towards the end of the match it looks like Fed wanted this more than Delpo.

 

[Niraj]

Hope his next match is competitive at least

 

[LuuKyK]

Delpo is so inconsistent. Weird match.

Afraid for Roger for his next match. scared.gif Please get rid of Nadal somehow.

 

[zero_suit]

Nadal next....poor Fed.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Fed will make it to the semis and then get curbstomped by Nadal.

It is written.

.

 

[Akito]

But people said the same thing about this match.

Spoiler

Yeah, that's my fear as well.

 

[Diamond]

If Roger plays like today he definitely has a chance against Rafa on this surface. Hope he manages to rest well tonight.

 

[Smellycat]

Sooooo gooood

 

[szaromir]

Nadal isn't in great form exactly. Roger will have his chances I think.

Spoiler

All Swiss final please.

 

[Reyne]

Actually, if Gasquet wins in straight against Djokovic, then Federer tops his group.

Spoiler

As if, lol

edit: Actually,ignore that. Seem that Djokovic is def top of his group regardless.

 

[Niraj]

It'd be nice if Stan could pull out a win against Djokovic this time after those great matches he lost to him this year

 

[zero_suit]

Actually, if Gasquet wins in straight against Djokovic

Thanks for the laugh.

 

[Reyne]

Thanks for the laugh.

You are welcome ^_^

Kind of weird that the number of the sets won isn't the first deciding factor.

BTW Federer has qualified to the WTF semis for the 11th time (in 12 appearances). Absolute legend.

And the one time he didn't, he injured his back in the deciding match and saved 7 match points before finally losing.

 

[MIMIC]

The guy who beat me 6-1, 6-2 (when I was experimenting with my grip): I'm "supposed" to play him tomorrow (it's not an official match though). So we'll see how that goes.

I knew he'd cancel (again)...which is why I added the quotes. I hope I get matched up against him again cuz I think he's intentionally avoiding me. :-/ That's why I made sure to obliterate my opponent yesterday so I could get matched up with another good player.

Also....Federer won? And is set to meet Nadal in the semis? Hmmmm....I wonder which will play the bigger role: the match-up that favors Nadal or the fact that they're indoors, something that gives Fed the edge against most opponents.

 

[szaromir]

WTH is this from Djokovic? He's playing completely differently than in Shanghai.

I think Federer's fatique will be crucial - he's played an awful lot over the past 3 weeks and especially today's match was grueling .

nadal's year-end number one ceremony earlier today depressed him.

you can tell things are bad when gasquet leads comfortably in baseline points won stats.

 

[szaromir]

Wawrinka after Gasquet's setpoint.

 

[John Dunbar]

red shirt richie always loses the last set.

Didn't see the match, what was going on?
