Federer-Almagro quarterfinal

[anointedone]

Federer overcame Baghdatis in 2 close sets today in a match of hideous quality. The Roger of today is very beatable. Almagro is playing impressively, beating both Nieminen and Ljubicic in straight sets. If Roger plays the same level of tennis he did today he could lose I think. I have a feeling he will play better though and come through.

 

[AM28143]

Federer will rebound 6-3,7-6

 

[J-man]

I haven't seen Alamagro play in a while. But nevertheless I have to pick Federer in staights.

Arent' you going to predict that Federer will lose? Or, that he will win but that because his opponent is so bad, so injured, that Fed should reject the victory and DQ himself?

What is wrong with you? Did you hit your head? You are not yourself. Please see a doctor.

 

[Spider]

It all depends on Almagro really ,if he plays his best tennis (without chocking) no way federer wins this ,but if he chockes like he usually does ,then i predict federer wins this in the third set tie break

 

[joebicko]

No worries...Rog in two. As the tournament goes on he is picking up. He loves to play US..There goes #12

 

[SoBad]

A comfortable straight-set victory should help Almagro build some confidence going into US Open later this month.

 

[joebicko]

Spider what is wrong with you???Are you really an idiot?
Nick is 27-19 YTD
He won valencia and was in the final in Bastad!!! How can he trouble Rog?
That is all!!!

 

[joebicko]

Almagro had won just four of twenty career maches so far this year???
Are you okay??

Why is Roger still playing this awful tennis. Didnt he get it out of his system yesterday. Why continue it.

 

[alberto007]

Almagro wins 2 set 6-3

 

[iriraz]

Cincinnati tennis is pretty much awful tennis this week.After fed-bagdatis yesterday and hewitt-moya it`s obvious that the matches won`t get any better this week.Lots of unforced erros or double faults.

[federerfanatic]

Damn! I'm the only one that picked Fed to win it in 3.

So what made you think /know it would go 3 sets with Federer still winning wise one.

 

[The Victor]

So what's up with the crappy tennis at Cincinatti?

And what did Fed say to Almagro at the end, anyone catch that?
Sounded like "Good luck with" something.

 

[J-man]

How did Almagro play in the second? Did Federer let him win the set or what?

 

[Deleted member 3771]

Fed was on fire in the 3rd when I looked his first serve percentage in play was 87%!

 

[drakulie]

So what made you think /know it would go 3 sets with Federer still winning wise one.

Looked into the future I did.

 

[Topaz]

Looked into the future I did.

When 900 years old you are, make good predictions you will!

Anyway, good for Almagro for making a match of it...and it is good to see him to something this year. Touted a one of the 'new' young guys, he hasn't really done much to back up the label.

LOL! I LOL'ed with such enthusiasm that I snorted, drawing the attention of at least three male patrons in this cafe, all of whom I'm certain will never fancy me now, LOL!
