Isner needs to put away volleys easier. Fed's been really clutch though.

The player who has the record for most weeks spent ranked 1st in the world, the records for most Grand Slam titles, Grand Slam semifinals, Grand Slam quarterfinals and many of those consecutive -- that guy looks like a world beater?

You know what my point was
(a joke)Gasquet has 3 set points. Come on Richard!
Nice, Gasquet up 2-1 now.

Anderson was 2 sets up not down.
If Federer had gotten to that ball, he could have smashed it into the net on Isner's side and won the point
Gotta be props for that backhand, or maybe he apologized for the challenge

And the last time he won a grand slam? lol, you act like I was making a comment on his career. No. I am making a comment on his game now, and how he won't beat Novak. Sorry but men's tennis is in a pretty sad state right now, the fact that Federer can even be ranked #2 in the world.

You guys think its in a decent state? At least a few years ago we had a legit "big 4". Now its either Novak, or we get surprised Novak didn't win.

i don't get how that makes it sad. Novak is just playing extremely well. Federer did too once and so did Nadal, didn't make it sad.
well if you think the ATP is sad, please don't look at the WTA.

You don't have to do this. I get it: people shit on women's tennis too much. But pretending men's tennis is less than stellar is not the answer to defending the WTA. The men's athletes today are phenomenal to a degree they've never been, physically and psychologically (arguably tactically as well, but it's hard to gauge because technology and strength have dramatically changed the strategy of the sport). Also, let's not pretend that Federer has played poorly this tournament. His performance here is up there among his best.

And he also says the fact that Federer can be number 2? Oh I forgot he should stick to the memo, retire and have a walking stick because he is in his thirties.
The guy is possibly the greatest of all time. Even if his level dropped from a few years ago, it would still be good enough to beat 95% of players on tour.
Agassi got to US open final at 35. What a sad state.

Friggin' Berdych.
At least he'd have given Roger somewhat of a fight.

How Fed won't beat Novak? But the last time they met.... Ah, nevermind.

Finally he's broken.
Great effort by Isner. But Federer just too good especially on key points.

I don't think he'd mind facing Anderson too. He deals well with serve bots.

obviously he's good enough to not care but you take what you can get with the draw. he's had some GS losses to some of these guys who can hit you off the court.
One-handed backhands everywhere. Love it.

Gasquet should be a good matchup for Roger to get his ground game back after this Isner match.
Glad Federer got through in straight sets!! I wish he could have converted on some of those bps earlier on, but Isner was clutch on most of them. Federer showed some great play throughout the match, same with Isner.
Up next, Gasquet. Hopefully it will be a good one, but with Federer through in straights please

This probably should be in the regular tennis thread but since this one is active...
I had no idea that Bobby Riggs and 24 time singles slam champion Margaret Court also played a "battle of the sexes" match. The media has buried the match pretty well because Bobby Riggs won easily 6-2, 6-1 but I stumbled across some footage on youtube. Even Bill Cosby and OJ "The Juice" Simpson was there

Haha, it's not going to be about tennis. I help run a fencing website. Because the Open is going on I'm going to do a "how can you apply the Sneaky Attack principle to fencing" type of blog post.

the sport or the art of literally building fences?
