Fed has been pushed to three sets twice so far in Hamburg, can he beat Delbonis to move to the final against either Almagro or Fognini?

I'm going to go with Federer in 3, Del Bonis may take the lefty Nadal route of constantly battering his backhand.

Fed is winning Hamburg. End of story.

I think Federer will take it in straight sets, although I was wrong with him winning in straight sets today. Delbonis might be a little tired from his long match with Verdasco today.

Not every lefty is RNadal (if you know what I mean)
You're right
I always have this default stereotype view every left handed player who plays Federer thinks "Topspin forehand to Roger's backhand...every point"
I hope for a Federer vs Fognini (mark 2) final!

If Delbonis can contest Roger, then he must SERIOUSLY think about retirement.

I saw this Delbo guy against Verdasco.
He was actually playing well and can give good fight to Roger.

Delbonis #114
If Rafa loses to a player around #100 people bash him during months, as happened with Rosol, but hey, Delbonis #114 is a superplayer who "can give good fight".
It seems like someone is getting ready to receive bad news...

one does not simply skip clay court 500s for nearly a decade then just decide to come back and win it, the Almaestro will defend his territory like koala defends eucalyptus tree

A racquet. "Any thing is a weapon if it is held the right way"- Annie DiFranco (I think). No shots though.

Almagro has a big chance to lose to Fognini today

he is left handed
I'd say Delbonis in 3
So is Melzer. And Verdasco. And one of the Bryan boys. Doesn't mean they can beat Fred. BUT... we will see.

well, Melzer did, on clay

if Federer doesn't win this tournament, his confidence will go down big time!

I would say it is already down to an all time low, that is why he has changed his racquet.

I can't see anyone stopping him now. He might lose a set in each of the remaining matches, but he'll find a way to win.

Why, he's only 22. This is his first good run too.

This Mayer guy looks like a disgruntled office worked that got demoted.
If a nerd can do so much damage to Fed, I wonder what an athlete like Delbonis will do.

Isner beat Almagro in the finals of an event on clay this year making him the first American to beat a Spaniard in an ATP final on clay in 15 years.

That's because the same doesn't happen. Federer looks old and slow and has for the entire year and it's very difficult to watch and it's really sad. He's struggling with players like Florian Mayer and DELBONIS. You can't tell me that isn't extremely concerning. Broken FIVE times by Florian Mayer :shock:
