[Nadal_Django]

Neo-backhand not working today.

 

[tennis_pro]

Fed broken again, WTF.

 

[NBP]

By March I swear he will be ranked around 13 or something. Genuinely horrible last 7 months.

 

[NatF]

Federer has been so awful this year aside from basically 3 tournaments.

 

[tennis_pro]

Now Fed with a bit of luck and it's 0-30.

 

[PeteD]

They aren't calling anything against Roger!

 

[tennis_pro]

0-40, the fedr erer shall not be denied this set

 

[Meles]

The tales that would be told if Krajinovic was playing back in the great vacuum.

 

[Super_Server]

I think this may be my fault. I watched Fed played awful up to 2-2 in the first. Went and cooked and ate dinner and he won 7 games in a row. I have since returned and the shambles returns.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Krajinovic facing break point here...

 

[tennis_pro]

Clean backhand winner DTL to break to love.

Back on serve, 4-5.

 

[Dilexson]

'Puyeta'

 

[Nadal_Django]

And Krajinovic chokes as usual.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

And Federer breaks back!

 

[Hamnavoe]

Strange series of games

 

[PeteD]

A hold would be nice for a change.

 

[EllieK]

Hey he found a backhand. He’s looked pretty awful though. Serving sucks.

 

[Dilexson]

Lols at that dump. I mean damn...

 

[tennis_pro]

What the hell, Fed

 

[BeatlesFan]

What the hell, Fed

I literally never believe he's going to win a match anymore until the match is over. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

 

[NatF]

Federer doesn't need the crowd commies he needs a first serve...

 

[NatF]

We're all shaking our head at that Fed...

 

[BeatlesFan]

God, how many DF's from Fed now? At least 4.

 

[tennis_pro]

Krajinovic wins the set and he's puming his fist like he matters.

 

[Hamnavoe]

Absolutely bizarre

 

[PeteD]

 

[Dilexson]

A hold would be nice for a change.

 

[NatF]

F*ck me

I'm prioritising this over Black Ops 4?

 

[NBP]

Come back and he’s lost the set lmao 2019 is going to be LONGGGGGGG

 

[Meles]

Krajigoatic.

 

[icedevil0289]

someone please tell me he wasn't up a break in the second set

 

[NatF]

The tales that would be told if Krajinovic was playing back in the great vacuum.

If only the great vacuum had this Federer.

 

[llodra_fan]

Federer's movement and anticipation is being exploited here, along with Krajinovic's hard shots that is heavily impacting on his timing.

 

[Nadal_Django]

someone please tell me he wasn't up a break in the second set

He was

 

[tennis_pro]

How do you lose a set 4-6 from 3-1 on an indoor hard court against Krajinovic?

 

[EllieK]

Horrible horrible play from Fed. So depressing to see him play this badly when he essentially had it in the bag. Now it’s going to be a fight.

 

[NBP]

F*ck me

I'm prioritising this over Black Ops 4?

Watching Federer mess around on a fast indoor court is better than that sorry excuse of a game

 

[nedflanders]

he is 37 years old people

 

[tennis_pro]

This is pure lack of confidence at this point. I still think Fed will win but this is awkward.

 

[stringertom]

Time to become a handwringerer. A walk through the park has now become an Alpine adventure complete with a real stumble down the cliff. Can he get to the apex in the third???

 

[tennis_pro]

he is 37 years old people

He was also 37 years old when he was 3-1 up.

 

[PeteD]

If Fed retires, who will be oldest in top 100?

 

[mike danny]

someone please tell me he wasn't up a break in the second set

Krajinovic though was down a break in the second

 

[NatF]

Watching Federer mess around on a fast indoor court is better than that sorry excuse of a game

With that delusional comment I almost mistook you for a Bull fan

 

[tennis_pro]

If Fed retires, who will be oldest in top 100?

Nadal probably lmfao

 

[nedflanders]

He was also 37 years old when he was 3-1 up.

he got tired bc he is an old men

 

[nedflanders]

he still gonna win this match ,but he wont make the final

 

[tennis_pro]

@PeteD

106. Karlovic (older than Fed)
71. Benneteau
69. Lopez
42. Kohlschreiber (exactly 35 years old)

Nadal is in the top 15 oldest players in the top 100 and will probably be in the top 10 a year from now.

 

[PeteD]

He held serve!
