Welcome back!. Hope you stay longer this time

StrongRule · Jan 24, 2020

If Federer wins this title it will be so undeserved. Millman choked 3 times in that fifth set. 3 times!!! When he was up a break, when he missed an easy second serve return on BP and of course on the tie break.

I Am Finnish · Jan 24, 2020

Wow no way

icedevil0289 · Jan 24, 2020

wait whare they doing, like he's retiring or something

davced1 · Jan 24, 2020

Federers voice is strange in the interview probably caught a cold that would explain the sudden drop of form.

ATP Finals carry over. Fred will be locked in.

LOL

An in-form Fucsovics up next in R4 for Federer - hopefully that'll be a competitive match and Fucsovics will surely fancy his chances at making life difficult for Federer. Obviously, it's likely Federer will straight sets him as Roger is so good at bouncing back, but you have to look at this result and smell blood if you want to take the match to Federer.

If he has gas in the tank I think it will be a respectable score unlike nadal vs joker in a final.

KINGROGER · Jan 24, 2020

What a comeback in the tiebreaker!

aided by some Millman errors, but Fed came up with a few nice shots himself.

I have a feeling he will go forward from this and get really far. Could be wrong but I think he will kick on.

Matheson · Jan 24, 2020

Fed the ultimate pusher has no shame in pushing his way into the 4th round. Fair play to the guy.

Hitman · Jan 24, 2020

EPIC 100 video!!!!

What a relief. 0-2 against Millman at slams would have sucked

bo3 vs bo5 though plus wasnt that indoors where fed/novak are a bit more evenly matched. this court seems far suited for novak

40-15
40-15
40-15

This doesn't even compare, at least Djokovic came up with the goods then... Millman hit 4 or 5 UEs after being up 8-4

Otacon · Jan 24, 2020

It reminds me of the match against Tipsarevic here at the RLA.

James P · Jan 24, 2020

LMAO, 31 pages. The mad Milkman almost pulled it off again. Gutsy win by Rog, credit where it's due. Wondering if this match will affect his play next round?

Fed still loses lol.

We're in a parrelel universe where Federer loses hypotheticals now.

HetTheGreaterer · Jan 24, 2020

icedevil0289 said:
yes roger talk about tactical changes, cuz idk what you were doing out there

Eggjectly.
He had to go with all slice...not much topspin BHs.
It's glad to see roger winning a nailbiter in a slam after 2 years though, even more so knowing that he was experiencing one of the worst days of his tennis career..
More than 70 UFEs if I'm not wrong, most from FH side

Why a Djokovic fanboy has Nadal on his avatar?

So will we continue to hear about Federer's weak draw?

MasturB said:
This will wake him up. He didn't play a warm up this year since no Hopman. First two matches was just getting back in on cruise. Millman tested him on everything today and while he didn't pass every test he knows now what to focus on with the team the next 2 days before Fucs.

Dude he is 38 not 28. This match shows that this dead ass court makes it hard for him to hit through guys also. Let's just hope he recovers well and is able to physically play at his best because I don't want a physical ailment to hinder him but right now, his form is not where it needs to be.

I Am Finnish · Jan 24, 2020

Feel sad for Millman

Credit to roger for hanging in.
He was the one cooking errors here and there before that

So close..

Foed · Jan 24, 2020

These are the matches that he's lost in the past, so gotta like his chances from here. He always has one dud.

Gonna whoop Fucsovics in straights.

If you have matchup problems with a journeyman it doesn't mean you have a tough draw.

This TB reminds of his TB against Roddick at the 2009 Wimbledon.

Bunch of foreign agents embedded in the Ozzie crowd rooting for Fed, adding to the disgust factor

MasturB · Jan 24, 2020

Hot take: i still hate the 5th set tie break in a major. Hate it more than 3rd set tie break in masters and everything else.

Yep, absolutely.

What's the story here

Fit 30 year old home guy chokes to a 38 year old gassed legend.

Or 38 year old gassed legend fights back heroically against homecrowd favorite and one of the fittest men on tour.

Nice interview by Jim Courier (the ageless one)

NaomiKonjuhPotapova said:
No, the cam man seems has an obsession with the guy.

I was back & forth on the Kenin/Zhang match. If Fed lost a point, cam person went to Mirka or Ljubičić.
Yeah, maybe too much cam shots on the players box. I'd rather focus in on the players. not the coach.

Hitman said:

Djokovic will beat him later down the line anyway. Millman won the attacking battle but lost the defensive battle.

I don't think you have to be an Aussie to attend the AO

there was one below par approach shot.
missed all first serves after 40-15 IIRC.

and anyways Wimbledon final having CPs ...compared to 3rd round at AO .... nah !

Yep, absolutely.

He will fall at the hands of only one man, Djokovic.

Berasategui94 · Jan 24, 2020

It's a shame Millman choked this away because he would've had a realistic chance to reach the semifinals in his home tournament with the draw having opened up nicely in his quarter.

Congrats to Fed fans, they deserve this after so many 40-15s.

Not even close to a consolation prize.
