Yup. You were right on with him missing out on the break in the second.

Any predictions on Federer ? Match starts in a few
John Dunbar
correct about everything
federer in five or lopez in three.
John Dunbar
correct about everything
he lost only one match post-wimbledon and he was clearly injured. you don't need to be clutch until you're (possibly) losing.
Well, even if he didn't lose before Zverev he was playing really bad in Montreal too. That match against Ferrer was an ugly thing. The recent match against Youzhny was terrible too. Failing to close out a set on serve at 5-3 twice? He's been razor sharp with this stuff throughout the year.
I feel he's surprisingly vulnerable in longer rallies and error-prone too. Could all be related to fitness/back problems, don't know.
John Dunbar

he hasn't been razor sharp, though. of his last six hard court slam matches, five have been five setters. had he been razor sharp, those would have been at most four setters. he cruised through grass season after crashing out of stuttgart, but other than that his whole year has been grinding out wins.
Those AO opponents were much tougher than Tiafoe or Youzhny. Anyway, let's hope for the best tonight.

Watching Federer after Nadal is such a nice palete cleanser.

Especially when he's not playing like those first two matches.

Cute girl.
Yuuuup
Money... To take tennis lessons?
I think he means money to go to the us open, buy Federer hat and buy Federer shirt.

Fed -__-
I thought it could be that but it would be hard to get her attention with the actual Federer playing.

They keep cutting to that one girl. Lol
Much, much better. Still some blips but at least it didn't cost him this time.
lol yeah

Can we stop with the back thing now? Movement and serving looked crisp for the most part.

Vesnina is way too consistent for Keys

Keys is actually starting to find her rhythm now. I love how the US Open casually has tennis matches on at 1:30am
Kind of getting tired of the concern trolling regarding Federer.
Every single time it's the same. "Man he's too old" "too injured" "too tired".
Any player is bound to lose some times anyway, so whenever he does lose they come here "see told you he was finished, he's too old". As if the last year had taught them NOTHING.
He's probably not in his best form currently, but he's still trying his best, and that could be enough against most players, so let's wait and see.

Well it was under the roof. So of course Fed is going to play better. He also does seem to be sharpening up, perhaps.
Still don't see him making it past quarters or semis. Under the roof, his chance against Rafa would be way higher though. Fed will meet Del Potro or Thiem in the quarters, and I think he could lose to either of them.

Federer said that the difference between normal and under the roof are minimal 🙊

Shapo so far. He's dictating the points for the most part and gave up a 5-2 lead.. see if he can close the first set out.
*edit*
Huge choke job
Ouch, those missed set points and that bad tiebreak. Hopefully this doesn't end up costing him the whole match.

I can't believe the draw Carreno Busta has had. First time in a major someone has seen 4 straight qualifiers.
I know, right? His draw has been ATP250 caliber at best. Kind of ridiculous for a slam.
edit: Volleys should be the No. 1 thing Denis works on in the offseason. So bad.

Oh for sure. Let him down in Montreal a couple weeks ago but he still got through a lot of matches.
This is just a frustrating match. Blew the first set and now feels like he's just falling apart. I'm not optimistic.
