Another example of Federer's opponent handing him the set/match. It's been a long time since Federer actually won a match via his own good play (rather than his opponents choking).

After winning the tie-break, I can't see Wawrinka win this match. Of course he has to pick up his first serve percentage (around 40% by now) but usually these kind of matches favour Roger!

Fed taking a legal bathroom break between sets to derail Wawa's momentum. Just like the one he took against Davy at AO 2010. What a cheat !

Or perhaps another example of his uncanny steely nerves and ability to turn matches around.
.. I think so myself.
 
It's been awhile since Goodall and Koenig have commentated together. I'm enjoying this

You don't miss something you take for granted till its gone.

Fed with the mandatory overhead FAIL of the match.
Fed appears a little more confident now but Wawa still playing well. It is anyone's game.

Stan's confidence has dropped, well if fed wins race to no.1 will remain competitive and he gets his 300 weeks

Fed needed that insurance break given how shaky he had been throughout the match. Too bad for Wawa since he was within a few points of taking the match in the second set. But the match is still far from over. Old man still capable of blowing two breaks.

it's a shame that is not enough, this set will probably end up 6-0 or 6-1. He was playing so well in the first two sets

I know. Whatever happened to Wawa that he couldn't even keep the third set slightly competitive ? I don't think Fed is going to bagel him though, he will let Wawa hold his serve once.

EDIT: Didn't realize it is 5-0 already. Fed may not drop his own serve to prevent the bagel :-|
