Congrats to Rafa for a great tournament as well....
Great win for Roger.
Had very little confidence that Fed would be able to win against Rafa in a 5 setter that too after such a long lay off @ 35.5 years.
Perfect win to answer those many questions...
Basel Final Roger vs Rafa....
They are meeting after 2014 AO.
This might be the match that Rafa wants to turn around his bad streak the past year & half or so.
From what we have seen this week...
Me jealous about Dr?? Nalla comedy sir neenga.
Oho, someone else said Dr. is the right guy to address you'll and you kept quiet. I didn't bring him, your camp brought.
Wow great to see everyone turned into that dubakkoor Doctor now....
Keep it coming guys. Expecting much better from you all...
Get to that level I say!!
Excellent!!
Yes sorry state of his entire career.
I am really happy that even at this age against a player who is putting together another spell bound year he is able to create so many chances for himself only...
Agree that both Berdych & Murray doesn't look like a threat on paper as Fed has been able to win over them comfortably in their last few meetings. Fed needs to keep all his matches as short as...
US Open draw:
Nadal:
R1 Coric
R2 Schwartzman or Qualy
R3 Fognini
R4 Raonic
QF Djokovic
SF Nishikori or Ferrer
There were a bunch of desi guys with a big banner 'Roger you are our hero' 'If tennis is a religion Federer is God' blah blah. Were u part of them?
Wow that's great Arvind. I was planning to go for QF but couldn't in the end.
How was the experience? You picked the right event when Maestro was at his best...
Amazing win for Roger Federer to win his 1st Masters of 2015 & record 7th @ Cincinnati.
To do it @ 34 w/o being broken & losing a set is awesome.
I for one thought that he would stumble in the...
It was hilarious how most of the commies picked Murray to win easily the SF.
Argument was last time Fed won as roof top favoured him. Can't these idiots know that when the roof was closed Fed...
If Fed plays the level he did in SF he will surely win this one in 4.
While I agree Nole is a richer version of Murray, still grass is not his favorite surface. The biggest question is if Fed can...
Only watched towards the end of 3rd set. Catched the highlights though.
Anyway from what I have been reading it does seems like yet another great match from Fed.
He seems to be in good touch all...
Meanwhile Murray & Federer seems to be in good touch with both getting thru' to 3rd round winning in straight sets.
And Federer had that spectacular between the legs tweener lob.........
...
So the trend continues for Rafa....
4 years in a row he has lost to players ranked 100 or lower.
This year it was a qualifier Dustin Brown ranked 102 who got the better of Rafa in the green lawn...
Yes, for once the draw seems to have pan out pretty evenly.
As a Fed fan would have expected Murray on the other half, but I think its not all that bad.
It looks very open at the outset of the draw.
The ground game was much better in the 2nd set where he had lot of looks winning the few longer rallies.
First set was mostly horrible but his serve bailed out until Tiebreakerer showed up yet again...
Takes the second set as well in tiebreaker. Atleast second set had a few interesting exchanges.
Still very poor ground game. Will not get it done against Nishi. Atleast he has gained 300 points...
Takes the first set in the breaker 7-3 by virtue of Karlo's second serve & a double fault.
Fed is not even trying. They are just playing for the tiebreaker. Borefest so far.
Horrible first set so far. On serve Karlo serving 5-6.
Fed has not won more than 3 or 4 points in Karlo's serve.
Had to save couple of break points already.
Well I hope Fed can get that one break in each set with his knee wrecking slice return.
If anything Fed's return game is improving. Yes it would be a very tough match.
Grass is the most rewarding...
Right but if Stan survives the first week then he will be somewhat entering his favorite territory when the slickness evens out and behaves much like clay.
But I am not sure if Stan himself is...
