AO 2019 - R4 : (3) "Zeus" Federer vs Tsitsipas "Apollo"

[I Am Finnish]

@Red Rick for who are you rooting ?

 

[Gary Duane]

The score looks like a serve-bot battle. Anyone who has not watched the match would never guess the incredible shotmaking. And even BPs are not going to tell the story.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

It’s nice to see some of these young guys but we been saying the same crap for awhile now and we see the same faces in each semi. I would hold off with some of these guys.

 

[ewiewp]

Tsitsi will be a great player.

 

[abmk]

huge accurate serve from tsit to save SP.
great point from fed starting from return to get another SP !

 

[NBP]

Pathetic

 

[VaporDude95]

Bloody woeful from Federer. 3 set points gone.

 

[D.Nalby12]

It's Sisi going for DTL FH more often.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Close about to be 0/9

He might surpassed Dimitrov

He had 3/18

 

[Krish872007]

Incredible from Tsitsipas to save SP

 

[mightyjeditribble]

Some Federer fans think it's all about Federer. . .

Tsitsi has been awesome. I'm enjoying it, too - great intensity!

Oh I'm enjoying it too.

Wish Fed would take one of these break points though ...

[Petike]

get the job done for f.ck sakes!

 

[RF-18]

So many BPs for Fed. He should be able to break Tsitsipas.

But, looking forward, not looking bright for fed in an eventually meeting with Rafa.

 

[icedevil0289]

Omg fed please I know this is exciting but for the sake of my heart

 

[pikku05]

What a return, take it grandpa..

 

[D.Nalby12]

I am getting impressed now.

 

[Starfury]

Roger Federer vs Stefanos Tsitsipas and Fed's FH

 

[Dilexson]

Fred in bps today..

So generous..

 

[True Fanerer]

Federer has found his F H in this game. He can still stroke it sometimes. Like to see more of it!

 

[Red Rick]

"WHY WON'T HE DOUBLE FAULT ON BREAKPOINT"

Roger, probably

 

[Enceladus]

Federer-Tsitsipas 7:6(11), 5:5
Lol, Fed's today's BP convertion is terrible - 0/10

 

[Sambuccashake]

So much wasted energy.

 

[Deon Sanders]

You cant try to do this

 

[ak24alive]

@Red Rick for who are you rooting ?

Pain.

On the basis of what I've seen tonight, I have to hope that this kid stays healthy and gets even better. To me he is the young player we have all been looking for, for many years. He seems to have it all, the serve, the movement, the flow, the instincts to come to the net, and he has not given up. Honestly the end of the 1st set was one of the biggest screw jobs I've even seen, no fault of anyone but the creep who called "out" in the middle of the point, but I'd like to see the rules changed so that any "fan" who does that is not only kicked out but not allowed in a tennis stadium for a least a couple years.

Gary, you are too soft. The guy who yelled "out" should be jailed for few decades. By the same criteria, 20K people on Arthur Ashe in 2015 USO final should have been shot.

 

[Rogfan]

My god this is just awful Fed not being able to take the set

 

[Deleted member 77403]

Federer and break points...

 

[icedevil0289]

He might surpassed Dimitrov

He had 3/18

Atleast grigor converted 3

 

[TripleATeam]

He wastes another...

 

[Steve0904]

Some of these misses by Fed are atrocious, but you've got to give it to the kid. He's not making stupid errors.

 

[minorchords164]

Does Tsitsipas hit the ball a lot flatter than Federer? Or is it just full poly making a different sound?

I don't think so. I would guess they're about the same but maybe Tsitsipas is actually a bit higher.

I think it's just the fullpoly. Also Fed's racquet has that kinda unique Kevlar sound I don't actually like much.

 

[abmk]

can only blame fed for the 3rd SP.
return winner to get a 4th.

 

[reaper]

Comfortable hold.

 

[jimjam]

anyone remember the record of most BPs without breaking in a match? Must be around 15-20 or so. Fed has a chance to take it here today.

 

[Prabhanjan]

Thiem first

Thiem's time will be like Nishikori, Dimitrov, Raonic, et al. It is always in future.

 

[-NN-]

Gary, you are too soft. The guy who yelled "out" should be jailed for few decades. By the same criteria, 20K people on Arthur Ashe in 2015 USO final should have been shot.

These points are very solid.

 

[Red Rick]

@Red Rick for who are you rooting ?

I just want Fed to win in 76 76 76 while going 0/36 on breakpoints and losing like 3 serve points.

It will annoy everyone and still show the great weakness in Tsitsipas' game

Yes, I am diabolical that way

 

[TennisPinkBabe]

BPs will always be the bane of Fed's existence. Just plays too safely on them. Just go for the damn winner even if it's low %!!!

 

[VaporDude95]

Federer screwing it up.

He’s had about 9 BPs this set including 4 SPs and hasn’t taken one of them.

Pathetic.

 

[Towny]

Breakpointerer in full flow tonight

 

[junior74]

Oh I'm enjoying it too.

Wish Fed would take one of these break points though ...

(Sent from my mobile phone.)

To be fair, Tsitsi has played really well on most of those BPs

 

[NatF]

Very strong hold, Fedr too tentative but Tsits not giving an inch on BP. Good stuff.

 

[Otacon]

Pathetic.

 

[Midaso240]

Stefanos absolutely epic at holding off break points,would be incredibly frustrating for Fed if he faces break point and Stefanos converts it first try but can't see it happening atm,Fed just too good on serve

 

[Rogfan]

It's gonna come backand bite him if he lets this go to a tb

 

[True Fanerer]

He didn't convert, but it's ok. The FH has made an appearance.

 

[reaper]

Surely he has to play barefoot to meet the shot clock!

 

[Shank Volley]

Federer just needs to start ripping it on the break points, this is actually just appalling cowardice.

 

[Red Rick]

Greeks now officially save more breakpionts against Federer than Syrian refugees out of the Aegean Sea

 

[icedevil0289]

I just want Fed to win in 76 76 76 while going 0/36 on breakpoints and losing like 3 serve points.

It will annoy everyone and still show the great weakness in Tsitsipas' game

Yes, I am diabolical that way

If fed does win in straight sets I'm fine with this
