Commentary said that if this keeps up, it'll be the greatest performance ever by a player in a match. Can't disagree

 

[SSPssp]

I mean I'm all for hyperbole in the moment, but this is just silly. The guy is playing at a very high level and making finals and semi-finals with ease. He's 34 and he still bosses around most of the tour. Unfortunately, Djokovic is just something else. Nobody on tour can touch him. Murray must be thinking about throwing tomorrows match instead of having to endure the heartache of another Aus. Open final loss.

If he's fine with bossing around them and only getting through when Djokovic isn't in his half I guess that's ok.

He made two slam finals last year.

Not any this year. ;&#8209

 

[Confrontation]

Well, it looks like my morning/noon will open up.

 

[chuckddd]

Fed out there looking like Aga did earlier. 2stronkovic.

 

[oti]

Well, it looks like my morning/noon will open up.

lol right? "One weird trick to save 4h of your day and be more productive!"

 

[John Dunbar]

Well, it looks like my morning/noon will open up.

i have already scheduled an extra session of crying in a fetal position while clutching a bottle of vodka on the bathroom floor.

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

Just tuned in. 6-1 and 5-1? That looks... not good for Federer.

 

[mcfrank]

lol right? "One weird trick to save 4h of your day and be more productive!"

Commercial sponsors hate him...

That's what he had to do to get his one Roland Garros title.

 

[Dispatch]

I woke up about an hour earlier than usual.

"Hey, I'm awake. Le'ts watch some tennis. It will be a classic."

Instead, it's a beat down.

 

[Brinbe]

Jesus, Djok...

 

[perfectchaos007]

Djokovic has unlocked his final form. Someone should tell him it's just the semi's

 

[oti]

Even if Fed wins the third 7-6, the fourth will be 6-2 for Djokovic.

 

[Faith]

Djokovic is just perfect.

 

[hyp3rlink]

Comeback time!

 

[SSPssp]

That's what he to do to get his one Roland Garros title.

And then retire!

 

[Brinbe]

Alright, that's progress?

 

[PedroPanache]

You just to have hold your hands up and say this is just incredible hitting from Djokovic. Federer has to work five times as hard to win a point and even then Djokovic pulls something out and hits a screamer down the line. Nobody can live with this kind of tennis.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Double breadstick averted

 

[Sax Russel]

Djokovic just wanted a simple 1, 1, 1, scoreline but now that he was robbed he will redouble the fury to take the third to 0.

 

[miserable]

No mercy. 2 sets gone under 1 hour. Jeezus

What?

 

[oti]

Fed should change racket hand on the fly and play TWO forehands.

1-6, 2-6, 6-0, 6-0, 6-0 here we go!

 

[mcfrank]

Fed should change racket hand on the fly and play TWO forehands.

Why not 2 racquets?

 

[John Dunbar]

federer with two holds in a row. momentum shift!

 

[PedroPanache]

If only Federer could serve like he did against Murray in the Wimbledon SF last year. His serve has been poor today and Djokovic has murdered him for it.

 

[oti]

Fed in desperate mode.

 

[hyp3rlink]

Come on Feddy, drop the serve already so I can go and sleep!

 

[John Dunbar]

raonic is better at the net than federer.

federer really fucked this game up with that wild forehand at 30-0. would have been an easy putaway.

 

[Sax Russel]

Wooooooooooo

 

[szaromir]

Nice to see Roger somehow turning it into a dogfight.

 

[Omzz]

raonic is better at the net than federer.

It's raonic's time. He will save tennis

 

[greenleaves]

raonic is better at the net than federer.

If he makes the final, Raonic definitely has the reach to get to these insane Djokovic passing shots.

 

[Sax Russel]

At the very least Raonic will make tomorrow's semi more exciting than this one, although the tennis display from Djokovic has been ridiculous.

 

[Hristi]

Anyone have a gif of Fed smashing his racquet from 2009 against Novak?

 

[John Dunbar]

based on my calculations federer is going to need at least 7 break points before he can get a break.

 

[szaromir]

Djokovic should have received time violation warning on that second break point. Ridiculous.

SABR in da haus

 

[mcfrank]

Fuck

 

[John Dunbar]

this game was probably federer's first and last stand in the match.

 

[oti]

This feels like a normal Fed-Djoker match now. Only five more break points for the break, Roger.

 

[Sax Russel]

4/23, #neverforget

 

[szaromir]

Why can't Roger return like that on the ad side when it's the break point?

 

[John Dunbar]

Why can't Roger return like that on the ad side when it's the break point?

because his backhand is rubbish when returning.

 

[oti]

:O

 

[mcfrank]

Made the guy in the wheel chair stand up. Fed is Jesus confirmed.

 

[SSPssp]

Epic comeback begins!?

 

[miserable]

COMBO BREAKER! could this be it?

 

[oti]

HOPP SCHIIIIIZ

Spoiler

break incoming

 

[Roc]

We back in business baby

 

[szaromir]

because his backhand is rubbish when returning.

He hit some great ones on Djokovic's game points though.
