Not trying to be racist, but aren't there any super athletic male black American players?

I would think a Lebron James type guy would destroy tennis lol

Culture, other sports are cheaper, and there is the promise of far more fame and money.

 

[Omzz]

Seeing Potro win the US open would be great too

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Welp.

 

[jett]

Federer gonna need a miracle.

 

[zero_suit]

Federer gonna need a miracle.

Delpo didn't choke in the 3rd, so I doubt it.

Not a Pablo Carreno Busta fan then?

What a return by Del po.

Controversial but I don't think Fed has played as well as he did in the first three months of the season since his break.

I know he won Wimbledon. But all his main challengers went out. Then Cillic got injured in the final. It was probably his easiest Wimbledon. Now he hasn't looked right maybe due to his back in his last two tournaments.

Eh, he also won Halle. Not dropping a set during both tournaments and winning them comfortably, even if the competition wasn't super tough, are signs he was playing good tennis. Post-Wimbledon though he's been struggling. Montreal and the US Open are mostly a bust. He planned to peak during grass season this year and it paid off. He hasn't been in top condition since.

Why do you keep mentioning PCB lol

Why do you keep mentioning PCB lol

Funny name to type?

 

[clemenx]

Delpo looks very focused and calm. He's usually a bit of an emotional mess as much as Fed.

Oh well. Delpo probably has a better chance to beat Nadal right now than Fed.

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

That third and tie break will keep Fed woke tonight.

So much missed opportunity. He is his own worse enemy at times.

He also lost to Tommy Haas.

He played well in the final at Halle. But the other matches he wasn't that great and some people were tipping Zverev to win.

 

[jett]

Deaderer is dead

 

[Zasa]

Holy shit. What was that Delpo

 

[Omzz]

Jesus

 

[Kensuke]

That point encapsulates this match.

 

[Simply Sami]

Why do you keep mentioning PCB lol

Because I rather he plays Delpo or Nadal in the final.

 

[clemenx]

Trying to literally kill him.

 

[Niraj]

lol

 

[Mortemis]

Whew, damn

See ya later Fed

 

[Omzz]

Idiot guy in crowd

 

[Simply Sami]

What a fucking nob having his flashlight on.

 

[Diprosalic]

Still a goddamn great fucking year.

Good luck Delpo! Go for #2.

 

[FTF]

lol at the dude with the cell phone flashlight on.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Lol Fed is beyond done

 

[jett]

What the fuck is wrong with some people.

 

[miserable]

Just woke up and tuned in, what happened? Olderer or Shankerer showed up? Or was Delpo in form?

 

[Laughing Banana]

Well it seems like this year Fed and Nadal shares 2 and 2 then for grand slams.

 

[sam777]

So how is your nerve JDP

 

[zero_suit]

Just woke up and tuned in, what happened? Olderer or Shankerer showed up? Or was Delpo in form?

Delpo has been mentally strong, and Federror made many appearances.

 

[FTF]

Just woke up and tuned in, what happened? Olderer or Shankerer showed up? Or was Delpo in form?

35-65 what you said.

 

[Kensuke]

I'm ok with Fed at slams this year. That AO was already the mircale and the Wimby was an amazing bonus. The only thing to be sad about for fans is #1 getting out of sight if Nadal wins it all.

 

[clemenx]

Still a goddamn great fucking year.

Good luck Delpo! Go for #2.

Yep. As I said after AO. I don't care if he loses anymore.

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

Yeah, this match was worth all the other bs in this slam. Fun, nerve wrecking, great players. All good. Enjoying it whike I can

 

[Zasa]

Please

 

[Niraj]

Jesus Christ

 

[FTF]

Stop rushing the net!

 

[Kensuke]

Lol. Net bullshit till the very end.

 

[Simply Sami]

What was that?

 

[clemenx]

Jesus christ lololol

He has to be drunk

 

[Omzz]

Come the fuck on

 

[Mortemis]

Yikes

 

[greenleaves]

Net approaches killing Fed

 

[inm8num2]

The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long, and you have burned so very, very brightly this year, Roger.

I suppose 2018 will be Roger's farewell tour, unless he's also gunning for Ken Rosewall's records.

edit - congrats to Delpo

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Missed forehand volley of death right there.

 

[zero_suit]

Year of the Delpo!!

Spoiler

Nadal will take him out.

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

I think if we go back and look at Feds career, the stats will likely show his net approaching hurt more than it helped.

 

[clemenx]

Do it Delpo. You deserve another one.

 

[FTF]

Too many mistakes today Fed. Oh well. Congrats Potro.

 

[MrPhiliasfrog]

Del Petro! I did not expect that.
