Admirably assured response from the Wimbledon champion.

no cruise gear for Nishikori when facing this caliber opponent!

maybe he should tank the rest of this set and regain some energy. might throw Nole's rhythm off as well...

Fed's supporters didn't turn up. Deal with it.

It has been a well known conspiracy for a long time to give Federer the best scheduling possible.

How am I NOT a Novak fan? You are giving Djokovic fans like me a bad name with classless statements.

How is just joking around classless? I am using the great F1Bobs word alive! FedFart! Keep the spirit of F1Bob alive one of the greatest Novak fans/trolls in the history of TTW.

I would think you would know all about F1Bob? Whats up are you truly a Fed fan in disguise?

If this was true, then why did Novak get the extra day of rest? Fed is 33, he can use all the rest he can get, yet he has ~40 hours between his QF and Semi, while Djokovic had 60+.

Are you truly so blinded by your hate for Federer that you lose all potential objectivity?

The 3rd set will be huge
Yeah. If Novak serves this set out, Nishikori has to win the 3rd or he'll be toast.

I'm not seeing the fatigue the announcers and some of you are. Don't think there have been more than 1 or 2 rallies approaching 20 shots. Novak is just under pressure as the favorite - if he wins this set he'll loosen up; Nishikori looks fine.

That was an incredible touch dropper from behind the baseline!

AS I said, Novak has such a beautiful feel on BH. If I were his opponent, I would always hit passing shot on his FH. Djokovic now getting some crowd support. ;)

That was the Wozniacki Errani - Dimitrov Goffin crowd.

Can you write a single post without embarassing yourself?

Getting defensive are we? Did the fans really not know where their god was playing?

Btw the crowd can't possibly be the issue here, it's the semi final it's not deserted at all. What bigger draw is Fed providing here?

The fanboys like to nitpick. Nadal fans complain about Fed's draw this year, but then as some other posters have pointed out, Nadal had a relatively easy draw here last year. It's getting really stupid, because they start polluting threads that have nothing to do with Federer/Nadal/Djoker.

Do you not understand at all to keep this Fedal discussion out of this match thread ?

C'mon man. Get some sense.

This i agree with. I'm so sick of every thread turning into Fed/Rafa/Novak. I realize I'm not helping here, lol, but claims like "scheduling always favors Fed", when he's on a day less rest is just so ridiculous.

Well, apparently you can't.

Just turned it on and surprised at the score though I picked Djokovic in 5. Not many in my camp.

Nish and Novak are like carbon copies in some ways.
What is up with Ace of Hearts? He loves to bully people in threads that are not Fed threads. It is hilarious. LOL

Lol at this guy, had an extra day off and his body only endured 1 set.

Djokovic will get a bagel from now on.

Some great control being displayed in this set by Nole. That drop-shot earlier had a difficulty tariff of 10.. anything worse and it would have been retrieved but it was a clean winner dropper from behind the baseline.
