woooooooo! Go Federer!

 

[Diprosalic]

How come some times semifinals in grand slams are the 1v4 and 2v3 seeds and other times it's 1v3 and 2v4 seeds?

what mimic said. the reason for that is to not have the same semis every tournament and tennis changes surfaces which (or used to) alter the game completely. no 3 might be no. 2 on sand.

 

[Niraj]

Early break chance for Murray


And erased.

 

[MIMIC]

I forgot to put "randomly" in quotes. I was 80% sure that it was rigged most of the time

 

[Good Job Bob]

Federer can't serve tonight smh.

 

[Diprosalic]

if federer wins i want it in 3 or short 4. no way he wins a fiver and stands a chance against a well rested djoker.

 

[qindarka]

Federer can't serve tonight smh.

It's only one game.

 

[rangersfan414]

Heh, Brad calling it for Murray cuz of the wind.



The only sure thing is that the top 2 seeds are on opposite sides of the draw. Then 3 & 4 are randomly placed on either side. Then 5 & 6. Then 7 & 8. And so forth (all the way to 32)

Thanks.

Roger better win

Tough hold

I'm inclined to agree with you there. He'll have had a lot of rest compared to Roger, and obviously recovers quicker than him as well.

 

[Reyne]

Relatively easy hold, actually. Lets start talking about tough holds once they start hovering around the deuces for five minutes.

 

[Niraj]

Strong service game from Murray there. You can tell he's focused.

 

[inm8num2]

I have a bad feeling about this for R Fed. He just doesn't have the youth to sustain himself through consecutive, intense 4-5 set matches against top 7 players.

 

[Diprosalic]

I'm inclined to agree with you there. He'll have had a lot of rest compared to Roger, and obviously recovers quicker than him as well.

i'd rather take a SF out against murray than add Novak to the short list of people who beat Federer in a GS Final.

 

[MIMIC]

Fed trying to out-push Murray. lol

BP

 

[PS3GamerKyle]

uh oh no no no no

edit: murray just helping out federer

 

[Reyne]

Murray attacking the Federer backhand... works after a while...

 

[The_Hitcher89]

2 poor errors from Murray there. Easy shots hit long and short

edit: Another break oppurunity. Don't waste it...

edit 2: Damn. Nervous shots

edit 3: And again...

 

[Niraj]

Good stuff from Murray so far.

 

[Diprosalic]

not a single free point on serve.

 

[Sax Russel]

Either way, this is not going to be a short match, hah.

 

[Niraj]

not a single free point on serve.

He's going to have to serve waaaaaaaay better than this if he wants to win.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

EARLY BREAK

 

[PS3GamerKyle]

AHHHHH

 

[MIMIC]

LOL Fed broken!

Spoiler

I actually want Fed to win

 

[leng jai]

Federer looks woeful so far. Topspin backhands galore and his forehand looks weaker than Murray's.

 

[Sax Russel]

Fed's first serve % needs to be about 20+ points higher ._.

 

[Good Job Bob]

GSM Murray.

 

[Reyne]

Murray is rallying well, thats for sure. Of course he is consistently going to win the longer rallies. Which is why Federer needs to start serving much better than this.

 

[PS3GamerKyle]

really impressed so far with murray's serve

 

[The_Hitcher89]

These serves...

Keep it up

 

[Niraj]

Running through this game...

 

[inm8num2]

This match is either going to be over in 3 hours or it will take 5+ hours.

 

[rangersfan414]

This match is either going to be over in 3 hours or it will take 5+ hours.

I'll take a 5 hour epic match please

 

[Diprosalic]

GSM Murray.

Delusion: not just for breakfast anymore!

 

[Niraj]

...what a turnaround

 

[Reyne]

Welp, Murray botched that somewhat. Maybe he is feeling nervous about being in the lead, giving Federer a break point

 

[killer_clank]

what happened to murray this game? was 40 -love up

 

[MIMIC]

Fed cannot try to do that pushing, grind-a-thon crap with Murray. Murray is in another league when it comes to that kind of stuff.

Perhaps he was just nervous in the 1st few games. But whatever the case was, it will NOT work.

 

[Good Job Bob]

Federer looks woeful so far. Topspin backhands galore and his forehand looks weaker than Murray's.

Federer's forehand is just pathetic these days really.

 

[killer_clank]

finally...

 

[Niraj]

There we go, that's the stuff we need to see

 

[leng jai]

Federer GOATing with that slice backhand return.

 

[PS3GamerKyle]

good game by Federer. Good game, but also a lot of Murray errors.

Fed needs to just stick to his game, and not try to push like Murray. Murray is the queen of pushing, it won't work for Federer

 

[Reyne]

Well, Federer found his serve again. Needs to stop rallying at Murrays pace though.

 

[Moneyhats2k5]

You guys are right. Shorter points = win for Fed

 

[Aegus]

What's with Fed's Nike shoes? Pink Flyknits?

 

[rangersfan414]

WTF @ Technical Difficulties ESPN!!!!!

EDIT: And it's back to working now

 

[FroJay]

WTF @ Technical Difficulties ESPN!!!!!

EDIT: And it's back to working now

[rangersfan414]

ESPN3 still down....WTF?

I switched over to WatchESPN if you have that. If you have ESPN3, you should have WatchESPN too.
