2018 Basel - ATP 500

[NBP]

London is going to be long...

 

[BeatlesFan]

Fed playing horribly so far, missing FH's left and right.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Third game of the match and Fed with 10 UE's.

 

[Super_Server]

Great start from Fed, bluffing his opponent into a false sense of security

 

[BeatlesFan]

Roger playing better now, using his slice well and breaks!

 

[underground]

Good game to break, nice to see Fed utilising the slice.

 

[PeteD]

London is going to be long...

or short

 

[BeatlesFan]

James Blake: "As a fan I'd love to see Roger play the French Open, but it is not in his best interests... it's too much damage or his body and he cannot win the FO at his age."

 

[tennis_pro]

Why were the odds so high on fedr before the match? Like 1,15 or so. Crazy.

 

[tennis_pro]

Standing ovation after that point?

IS FEDR RETIRING!?!?!?

 

[BeatlesFan]

Great point from Fed!!!

 

[PeteD]

Kraj krumbling

 

[tennis_pro]

Double break, Fed looking pretty good.

 

[abmk]

fed playing bad in the first 3-4 games, but since then has been playing well.
breaks krajinovic again.

Something do with his recent performances, I expect

 

[BeatlesFan]

fed playing bad in the first 3-4 games, but since then has been playing well.

Yeah, I was worried initially but he's settled down nicely.

 

[PeteD]

Standing ovation after that point?

IS FEDR RETIRING!?!?!?

Maybe but that was quite a dig-out.

 

[Beacon Hill]

Federer plays terrible, with double digit unforced errors, multiple shanks off both sides, and generally looking like a shadow of his former self. Wins first set 6-2.

 

[tennis_pro]

Something do with his recent performances, I expect

But he was still winning and he lost to Coric who's playing like a top tenner. Krajinovic is a one tournament pony.

 

[PeteD]

Yeah, I was worried initially but he's settled down nicely.

I'm still worried, not so much for this match, but he looks sweaty and distracted or something.

 

[tennis_pro]

No sitting ovation from the lazy Brits like it was for Murray.

 

[stringertom]

Poor serving numbers but an efficient 30-minute first set for The Maestro, 6-2.

 

[3fees]

Federer v Krajinovic 62

Cheers

[Standaa]

Thanks for the commentary, I’m unable to watch it.

 

[tennis_pro]

Clean return winner and Fed breaks to start the 2nd set.

I have to say he has a half decent draw. Pretty much a smooth sailing until the SF and there he could have Tsitsipas/Medvedev which could be interesting (avoided Cilic) and then Zverev/Cilic in the final.

 

[tennis_pro]

Botterer is back. Serving really well.

 

[tennis_pro]

So good to watch when he's playing like this. Arguably his best form since Stuttgart.

Now that he's avoiding Milkman

 

[PeteD]

Fed is bounding around the court like he's not even the oldest man in the top 100

 

[BeatlesFan]

Federer plays terrible, with double digit unforced errors, multiple shanks off both sides...

Actually no shanks, just missing wide or long.

 

[PeteD]

Swiss Miss in da box!

 

[tennis_pro]

woah, Krajinovic has left the court, that's why he's so bad

 

[tennis_pro]

2 break points Krajinovic MEH he so lucky with that volley

 

[BeatlesFan]

Double BP for this journeyman after sloppy play from Fed.

 

[tennis_pro]

Bad luck for Fed to get broken in this game.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Roger plays lousy game, gets broken. Unreal.

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Out of the big four Fed has the best record against Serbian players not named Novak Djokovic

 

[tennis_pro]

Krajinovic gets a foot fault again, curses, gets a warning and be now arguin with the ump.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Journeyman having a rage at ump. Get on with it!

 

[NatF]

Sweet return.

 

[NatF]

lol and again with the return.

 

[EllieK]

Fed will have to play better than this to win the tournament, that’s for sure.

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Krajinovic gets a foot fault again, curses, gets a warning and be now arguin with the ump.

 

[tennis_pro]

I have no idea how Krajinovic is winning some of the points.

Holds, 4-3

 

[cluckcluck]

Fed hitting that buggy whip forehand...perhaps still has an injured hand?

 

[NatF]

2018 Federer is really something.

 

[Dilexson]

Looks like Fed's gonna clown his way into another semi final/finals.
Nice.
