He should stop playing like a** then.
Yes. He does. He's not as good as he ever was, but he's a great warrior, true champion, always fighting, never tanking.

Was that not an angry scream. Maybe 2012 FO comeback.
Last 4!
Fed overall won only 27% on Delpo's SECOND SERVE. It's not laughable btw, anyone who dares laugh about Federer's tennis better be named Novak, or Rafael.
For Fed's own standards, its laughable.

Fed should withdraw and let Ferrer have his spot.

Vamos, what a way to win it, too big too strong. Delpo rattled the big Fed, Fed had no answers.
At the age of 31 he has no answers, you finally got your wish :twisted:
Though I do like to remember last year. 6-3 6-0 was it? Against your precious lover?

Hey, atleast he reached SF, your mancrush didn't even qualify at the same age
.He was too busy yelling "No Mas, No Mas" against Bastl at Wimbledon, it was quite hilarious (especially for a supposed grass GOAT).

Delpo, ferrer is scrappy and gets to balls in a simular way murray would but i just feel delpo could hit strong flat shots that would work novak harder.
Ultimately tho, i dont think either of them can beat him. Murray is the only player that will stand a chance at beating him, if he makes it past federer (if thats the matchup)

Well he's gonna lose his next match anyway so doesn't matter. Seriously hope he plays better tomorrow though, such crap play as of late.

wow, what an awful, awful performance in the 1st and 3rd sets from Federer. His BH completely deserted him and he couldn't hit it DTL. Don't know if there has been another match where his BH was this bad..

Tankage.
I mean Fed wasn't playing that badly. The second set was brilliant and he was cruising through his service games. A random dip in the 3rd set which caused him to be broken when up 30-0. He obviously wants Delpo who is now full of confidence to knock out one of Djokovic or Murray, he knows Ferrer can't beat them.

Delpo/Fed Vs Nole/Murray......
Nole v Fed
Delpo v Murray
Semis are set.
The winner of Group B is not determined until the Ferrer vs Tipsarevic match is over. Could still be Fed vs Murray.

Oh yes it does. If Tipsarevic wins, then we have Del Potro-Murray and Federer-Djokovic. If Ferrer wins, though, then there's Federer-Murray and Djokovic-Del Potro

No.
3) Regardless of score, if J. DEL POTRO defeats R. FEDERER and J. TIPSAREVIC defeats D. FERRER, then J. DEL POTRO wins the group and R. FEDERER qualifies 2nd.
Fed played 1 good return game in the 2nd and that was it from him, shaky in the rest. Delpo seemed relaxed and went for it, think it's better he's in semis.

Del Potro against either Djokovic or Murray would be a tougher match than if Ferrer was there, so I am quite happy with the semi final line up. It is going to be box office stuff.
All slam winners.

You can argue with the ATP if you like mate - that's a straight lift from the 'qualifiying scenarios' page on their website. It's head to head that matters in a 2 way tie.

Missed the match.
Summary of what happened?
Both played average in the first set, Fed had chances at 4-3 15-40 in the first set but Del Potro saved both break points. The Argentine was more solid in the breaker, ******** in full flight showed up.
Fed started the second set great, breaking Del Potro to love, then held to love. From this point on, the 2nd set went as the first but this time Fed had the break advantage - he won it 6-4 winning just about every point on serve and losing just about every point on the returns.
Del Potro upped his level a notch in the 3rd, ******** showed up big time again. It should've been 6-1 or 6-2 in the final set but Fed still found his serve to get out of trouble.
All in all a C-/D match for Federer, Del Potro at C+,B- at times, a deserved victory.

Yep, Federer hates Ferrer after all those times he lost to him...
No, come on...
It doesn't matter in the end, though, Djokovic will beat whoever he plays in the semi-finals.

As I said before, Murray is the only top player who leads the head to head vs Fed on hard court (a feat no to be minimized given Fed's overall record on that surface) and let's not play around words here please, Murray may not have beaten Fed in London but unlike Djoko, he beat Fed at WTF before, he's also beaten Fed in Madrid indoor and he has beaten Fed convincingly very recently in Shanghai. Now I'm not saying that Djoko would be a walk in the park for Fed, just that Murray is clearly the worse matchup of the 2 especially in a best of 3 format and on this surface.

With today's match Fed has practically ended his chances at this tournament. Had he won in straights or lost in straights, I'd give him at least a 30% chance of winning against Murray inspite of his terrible form. After playing a 3 setter today compounded with his abysmal form, his chances of beating Murray are at about 5-10%.
Too bad Ferrer got knocked out though
