Baghdatis: seven double faults
Rare return error by the swiss. Baggy serves 4-6
He dumped a slice backhand return into the net off a 2nd serve. That's a rare return error.Rare return error?! LOL! What are you talking about. Federer has been piling UEs off every shot this set as if it were a dump site.
At least Fed didn't go down in straight sets like he did last year in the same exact match.
Oh and speaking of going down in straight sets. Roddick joined the "down in straights sets" group today. This exclusive group already includes Nadal and Djokovic.
they both seem to reluctant to get out there to play today. roger insist gifting baggy break points. baggy refuses to take every single of them. roger shanks, baggy DFs. every time someone is ahead, the other will fault.
roger is so reluctant to move. it's like he has to think for a second before he chases after the ball. baggy with all the DFs....what an ugly match.
is it a planned practice between the two?
Terrible. But he isn't known for a high percent of first services. But still that is very low.Baghdatis % of 1st service so far in the match is 39%

He'll need to. It could be so easy for Fed to take this tournament, with all other top seeds out, but if he continues to play like that it's not gonna happenThis might be the deciding match for Federer to win Cincy. I'm sure his game wil get better from now on.
I noticed that too a few moments ago and asked myself the same thing.Does Fed always hit so many buggy-whip forehands?
that's exactly what it looks like LOLFed refuses to win.
