Have you seen the Sonic trailer?

Yeah that Tails meme looks more like Tails than Sonic does Sonic in the movie.

If his draw turns out to be Gasquet-Monfils-Thiem-Djokovic-Nadal.

Yeah sorry, just a misunderstanding on your previous sentence.
As I wrote somewhere else, the next 5 players have cumulatively beaten him on clay 22 times. Even without Nadal, they've beaten him 9 times. Essentially 4 whole seasons of clay ruined to those guys.

mike danny · May 7, 2019

Fed's movement is still not great. Luckily it's just Gasquet.

I'm so glad Fed has already won RG and can play on clay with nothing to lose.

Honestly I don't like clay that much because Nadal regularly dominates it. It's like a move you don;t feel like watching anymore because you know how it will end.

If you're not a fan, of course.

But clay can be fun to watch too.

We all have our personal preferences.

It takes a much much higher quality match for it to be watchable for me on clay vs on hard... let's put it that way.

Did they just say something about Gasquet fans

Gasquet doesnt have any fans

Federer and Del Potro · May 7, 2019

And on the third day, Fraud broke again.

Standaa · May 7, 2019

Fraud breaks

underground · May 7, 2019

3/3 on BPs?!

Poisoned Slice · May 7, 2019

Smashworth. Get in.

Doff my cap to Roger. Just about to kick off but it's not like he is struggling to finish first set.

What a guy.

BeatlesFan · May 7, 2019

Yeah, Fed breaks!

Federer and Del Potro · May 7, 2019

If Federer can convert 100 percent of his BP's I think he will win RG.

True if big.

I agree, but when Fed plays even on quicksand, it's better than watching a grinder on grass.

Of course, why else do you think I'm watching at all

abmk · May 7, 2019

federer with some real aggressive returning and good followups to break Gasquet at 15.
to serve for the match now.

I’m just here to make clever jokes and spam "Fraud breaks".

And I’m all out of clever jokes.

Standaa · May 7, 2019

Some idiots yelling "Vamos RAFA"

Poisoned Slice · May 7, 2019

Very good.

Fraud breaks has now graduated to Fraud wins

BeatlesFan · May 7, 2019

Fed off the court in 52 minutes, can't complain. Solid match from him!

PeteD · May 7, 2019

Welp that was the easy part of Fed's draw.

Peak fedr on his favourite surface. What else would you expect

TTW bleeding into real life.

Poisoned Slice · May 7, 2019

Back in black. RIP Iron Man.

mike danny · May 7, 2019

Fedr wins his first clay match since beating Zverev in Rome 3 years ago.

RFGOAT1992 · May 7, 2019

despite his serve being shaky, Fed BH return is actually on point, let see if it holds up through the tournament,

and lol at the crowd " we want more"

Rafa.the.Magnificent · May 7, 2019

And that's a wrap with a cherry on top!

BeatlesFan · May 7, 2019

Annacone: "Welcome back, Roger! He's got to feel super after this great start on the clay."

abmk · May 7, 2019

Fedr looking good.
Will lose in QF to Thiemeles.

MasturB · May 7, 2019

Fedr...

Sartorius · May 7, 2019

Oh yeah, AC/DC - Back in White. Good song.

Fed looked good. Nice to win in straights. Drop shot serve return. Love it.

Fed is a big AC/DC fan

junior74 · May 7, 2019

Mudr looking average. Will lose in straights to Thiem.

mike danny · May 7, 2019

We'll see how he does against Monfils. His current movement won't be enough, IMO.

Maybe Thiem loses to Fog?

With Roger wearing those pretty wild design vapors with the RF logo, I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that they’ve negotiated a new contract for just the shoes along with logo as well

I was thinking exactly that. You can change clothing easier than shoes. You get used to one brand and style of shoes its hard to switch.

I hope you just joked here. Federer should beat Monfils even with a broken leg. Thiem might be a tough opponent though.

What specifically didn't you like about his movement? He seems slow going to his FH, but that's been the case for years. Otherwise his footwork and movement looked crisp. Annacone was saying he was shocked how well Fed was moving.

These black and white Fedr avatars are triggering me worse than Federer wins trigger @Red Rick

Imagine how triggered I am now

Really I'm just too tired and full of self-pity to be triggered much right now. Enjoy you Fred wins

@BGod Great prediction!

Monfils has been problematic on clay for him in the past.

Fred wins are like bad GoT episodes. I've accepted they're imminent.

Pretty much the bolded part.

hadn't really looked at the draw fully.
Yeah, its definitely possible that Fog beats Thiem.

Deleted member 763024 · May 7, 2019

Gasquet looked slower than usual.

Zebrev · May 7, 2019

Fed is back. Should be about to make it through Gael. He still needs Thiem out of the way.
