2012 US Open QF: [1] Roger FEDERER vs. [6] Tomas BERDYCH

[scineram]

This is what happens if you don't properly cook that poisonous Fish.

 

[Ico]

Fed is going to start hanging his hopes on the next set. This one's looking down and out. Maybe he should channel some of that Murray-Comeback?

Murray played a far inferior opponent. Roger can raise his level like Andy did, but unless Berdych takes Cilic's lead and starts missing every first serve and easy putaway, we can't get a similar result.

 

[TheF1Bob]

Goodnight Berdych. Now I can go to sleep. Thank you for waking up Fed.

 

[DropShotArtist]

Might almost be good if Fed loses tonight. If not, Murray will surely beat him and even if not there, Djoker will just throttle him with the way he's playing now.

 

[The Bawss]

Jeff Tarango is the worst commentator of all time.

 

[Fedex]

passe.......

Just a bit of jinxing.

 

[sonicare]

How does birdman generate so much power?

I Swear it looks like hes not even swinging that hard.

 

[Walenty]

....Fed's in trouble

 

[Al Czervik]

Somebody give BreakPoint some hell and bump every thread about Fed needing to switch to a bigger stick.

 

[RF20Lennon]

Hey Berdych it is against the law to beat federer. STOP this nonsense!!

 

[TheF1Bob]

Don't worry Fedards, he'll be doing this in no time.

BOSS. 8)

 

[The Bawss]

I Swear it looks like hes not even swinging that hard.

I noticed that, what is going on physics??

 

[RF20Lennon]

Federer takes 10 min and holds on to a epic service game. Berdych does it in 1 min WHAT IS GOING ON?????

 

[Ray Mercer]

Berdych can just crush the ball. If he gets by Federer he will crush Murray with that power.

 

[flymeng]

Is Rogi feeling down coz Andy retired today?

 

[ledwix]

Two double-faults in one game? Federer is channeling my game for this match!

I also wonder about the secret of Berdych's heavy pace. Does he hit exceptionally cleanly or use a heavier racquet?

 

[Al Czervik]

Berdych can just crush the ball. If he gets by Federer he will crush Murray with that power.

No chance. Murray will pick him apart like Nadal in the Wimbledon final.

 

[TonyB]

At this point, I'd almost prefer Berdych to go full Rosol on Federer and put him out of his misery.

Federer looking completely lost out there and isn't playing with any power, precision, or confidence.

Just served 2 doubles faults and a wild forehand in this service game. No momentum whatsoever after his previous hold.

 

[Ronaldo]

Don't hate Berych, hate Fed's game

 

[jigar]

WTF is going on.

 

[Ico]

Two double faults and a wild miss in this game? Oh boy.

 

[mike84]

Berdych can just crush the ball. If he gets by Federer he will crush Murray with that power.

More like Murray in 3 sets. Andy destroys power players.

Guaranteed easy match for Murray in semis.

 

[HiRO]

Fed's in trouble now. What a crazy day for tennis.

 

[RF20Lennon]

25 unforced errors are you kidding me man???

 

[sonicare]

I noticed that, what is going on physics??

Hey fellow UK tennis nut. Its like 3 am here haha.. lucky no job for me tomorrow.

Yeah, I wonder if birdie's forehand is straight arm. Anyone know?

 

[Outbeyond]

Berd has a helleuva forehand...FAST!

 

[jigar]

2 DF in a game. That is more than a 4.0 player normally has.

 

[Firstking]

That was big.

 

[kishnabe]

Federer do a Murray please!

 

[90's Clay]

COMMME ON!!!!!!!!!! 5-2. Blasting those FH's. I love ya Birdman

 

[kalyan4fedever]

double break gotta be kidding me . Fed totally off his base what happened thats what extra time for fed costs

 

[samster]

WTF is going on.

That's what I am thinking.

 

[TheF1Bob]

Crying Fedards in 3, 2, 1....

 

[FedererDropShot]

Is it over?

We'll see in about 10 mins.

 

[Ronaldo]

To be the Man, you must beat the Man

 

[The Bawss]

Berdych has so much power. Jesus, how is he not ranked higher than Ferrer?

 

[NadalDramaQueen]

Fed deserves it.

 

[DragonBlaze]

Well zagor, you were right. This might be a short match after all LOL.

 

[kaku]

More like Murray in 3 sets. Andy destroys power players.

Guaranteed easy match for Murray in semis.

Berdych leads the H2H vs Murray I think

 

[DropShotArtist]

That's all she wrote folks. No coming back now. Berdych is no choker Cilic.

 

[Geology_Rocks!]

Murray, this is your best shot

 

[RF20Lennon]

GSM berdych fed loses first night match this is exactly like their cincy meeting LAST year!!!

 

[TonyB]

Have only seen Federer play this bad once or twice before. Never seen him play this bad at the US Open, though.

Really weird. No energy. No enthusiasm. Maybe he just FEELS like he's done??

 

[jigar]

Enjoy the remainder of the match while it lasts. I am out of here.

 

[Ronaldo]

Fed will retire after this match

 

[Ray Mercer]

More like Murray in 3 sets. Andy destroys power players.

Guaranteed easy match for Murray in semis.

Then why has Murray be owned by Berdych in the head to head? Berdych is teeing off on both wings and his serve is huge.

 

[The Bawss]

Hey fellow UK tennis nut. Its like 3 am here haha.. lucky no job for me tomorrow.

Yeah, I wonder if birdie's forehand is straight arm. Anyone know?

Yeah, I know it's stupid o'clock here. I'm doubting this match is worth watching. Berdych's game is clicking nicely though. Federer being steamrolled currently.

 

[movdqa]

> How does birdman generate so much power?

His racquet has a swingweight around 390-400. If you have the strength to swing the thing, you can generate a lot of power.

 

[Fedex]

Goodnight Berdych. Now I can go to sleep. Thank you for waking up Fed.

He fell asleep again.

 

[tank_job]

Federer in 4. I guarantee it.

Bagels in the 3rd and 4th sets, too.
