According to my commentators, the last time a number 1 seed lost at the USO before the semifinals was 2001. Oy vey Fed. :rolleyes:

I love watching Roger play but it's just silly watching Fed fanatics acting so surprised, like Fed was going to cruise this match.

Fed hasn't played all week and is playing a guy that can match up pretty well to him--it was going to be tough.

Sad to see this scoreline.

Berdych is just on fire isn't he?

Many big hitters seem to be on fire against Fed these days, I don't think that's a coincidence.

Sure, Berdych is playing well but Fed is spraying errors all over the court, he's missing routine (for him) FHs..

Federer fans are just disappointed that Fed has recently been playing lights out (Cincy and here at the USO), but tonight seems to have absolutely NO GAME whatsoever. I think he's got more UE's this match than his previous 3 matches combined. It's ridiculous.

Yeah I agree. This is definitely strange. I hope he can pick it up and at least turn this into a more competitive match. Win or lose.

> Fed HAS to start channeling Murray's fury. Throw a racket,
> maybe? Scream at his box? Something...

Fake a back injury?

Good damn it. Roger's hitting almost 3 times as many UEs as Berd is. That is just CRAP! He's dug himself quite a hole now... 0-30 :(

I am loving this. Nice to see smugfed getting a pasting. Hope he comes back to take it in a marathon 5th set. Murray would destroy this pale imitation of the goat (if only he wasn't so smug and such a shocking loser).

this could be the match over right here..

yep, don't see a way back. Berd playing too good to balls this up, Federer playing some bad stuff doesn't look like he has the fire to scare Berdych.

The dream final is over. Djokovic better win this, but it'll probably be Murray who bags his first slam.

Berdych is owning ******** right now. And ******** is owning Federer as well.

Looks terrible. Mentally terrible in fact.

Two thoughts right now: For some reason, I don't doubt that Fed will win this; and, I don't think Berdych has the stones to continue like this. I dunno. Just feels that way.

it's over guys.

3rd set, Berdych up a break.

Murray vs Djok final.

Murray's best chance.

I wouldn't pencil Murray in the finals yet, sure I'd favour him over Berdman in SF but it's far from being a sure win, Berdych usually plays Murray tough and will be confident after his win over Fed.
