2015 BNP Paribas / Indian Wells (R4) - Roger Federer vs Jack Sock

[ACE of Hearts]

Feddy needs more first serves in.

 

[ultradr]

75% 1st serves in is not high enough?

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Do i have to hear about sock's forehand all match long?

 

[newpball]

Go Jack, show 'm!

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

:grin:

 

[RF-18]

Socks forehand is really impressive. Huge.

 

[Backspin1183]

This Sock guy doesn't fear Roger. Roger's body language not very positive today.

 

[ST_spitzertelescope]

This is an entertaining match so far!

 

[racquetreligion]

American tennis player. Let me guess, a big serve and hits big with the forehand, average/below average backhand and average mover. Is true, no?

LOL very true!

Sock is the best bet though for American tennis, he has a weight problem though not helping in the mobility dept.

If Jock got to Ival Lendl diet shape I believe Sock has a good future.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Federer is gonna have to hold serve.

 

[ST_spitzertelescope]

Following on from nadal vs simon, this match has already been more enjoyable.

 

[Rock Strongo]

Speaking of Roddick, Sock's shirt could provide life for the entire desert outside the area and it's only been four games!

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Fed has to do better with sock's second serve.

 

[ultradr]

It'll be over pretty soon if sock gets broken 1st.

its a good Sock if it holds sweat

I think if Sock had Lendls no1 playing weight he could be a force but not atm
yet I see Sock able to hurt Fed if he is off guard

 

[ST_spitzertelescope]

I take back what I said.. This match is really entertaining. Go sock!

 

[ultradr]

how long is this particular game?

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Alot of UEs by fed.

 

[RF-18]

how long is this particular game?

15 mins soon.

 

[Strange Bird]

Finally

Sock holds after 10 mins

 

[Deleted member 512391]

Sock is not an average mover.

Sorry, but he is.

 

[Team10]

Has Sock become a bit bulky since being away for 2 months?

Yeah, he definitely looks like he eats his three meals a day. With plenty of snacks in between. :twisted:

You two are crazy. Have you ever seen Sock play before this match? The guy is in the best shape of his life and trained very hard during his 4 month break while also recovering of course.

 

[chjtennis]

Sock holds. Doing well.

That drop shot. :lol:

 

[ST_spitzertelescope]

Alot of UEs by fed.

Yeah a lot of shanks on the forehand. I think it's sock making him rush, his forehand shots quickly heading toward him.

Very quick service game after socks marathon.

 

[chjtennis]

Easy hold for Fed.

 

[Djokovic2011]

You two are crazy. Have you ever seen Sock play before this match? The guy is in the best shape of his life and trained very hard during his 4 month break while also recovering of course.

Not sure if you're being sarcastic Team10? :?

 

[Pagoo]

Federer really needs to do better with break points and returns.

 

[Sirius Black]

I'd rather look like Sock than Simon.

 

[Rock Strongo]

Did the commentators just say that Rog had a net worth of $405 million? He could buy Zimbabwe and adjacent countries!

 

[Sirius Black]

Not sure if you're being sarcastic Team10? :?

Do you even lift?

 

[Team10]

Federer holds for 3-2, really liking this match so far. Love watching Jack play, his forehand is just incredible. I'm happy for whoever wins and wouldn't mind seeing Jack win at all but Fed is still my fav.

 

[chjtennis]

Sock tried his own drop shot but just wasn't good enough.

 

[RF-18]

You two are crazy. Have you ever seen Sock play before this match? The guy is in the best shape of his life and trained very hard during his 4 month break while also recovering of course.

Looking at him, looks like he has had too many donuts.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Come on feddy

 

[Djokovic2011]

Do you even lift?

What's that got to do with the price of eggs? I've never jumped into shark infested waters but I sure know it's no good for me.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Alot of silly errors by fed. Geez

 

[Pagoo]

This tournament has been an error fest.

 

[gut wax]

Sock tried his own drop shot but just wasn't good enough.

Sock "Tennis?"
Fed "School."

 

[Pagoo]

Come on Federer!

 

[ultradr]

I ... want .. to see . Nadal Federer semi, dang it !

 

[The Green Mile]

Back sooner than I thought. And just in time for a break of serve! Fed leads 4-2.

 

[Pagoo]

Now, please hold Fed.

 

[chjtennis]

Great backhand passing shot! Fed gets the break.

 

[Shangri La]

Not a easy lead for Fed.

 

[Team10]

Not sure if you're being sarcastic Team10? :?

Not at all . http://www.atpworldtour.com/News/Tennis/2015/03/11/Indian-Wells-Tuesday-Federer-Seppi-Bautista-Agut.aspx

Even the commentators have been mentioning how much work Sock has put in over his absence. Does he really look that out of shape to you guys? Of course he's no Djokovic or Murray but then again not many players are.

 

[Rock Strongo]

Nooooow it's turning into Federer-Roddick.

 

[chjtennis]

Players seem to hit the ball much more cleanly in general to day than previous days. They must be getting used to the ball.

 

[Djokovic2011]

Here's hoping Fed servebots in the semis too. But not in the final. :twisted:

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Sock has to go for broke

 

[TommyA8X]

Here's hoping Fed servebots in the semis too. But not in the final. :twisted:

No love for Fed-Nole No. 38? :twisted:;-)

 

[Sirius Black]

Here's hoping Fed servebots in the semis too. But not in the final. :twisted:

What? Why have people only recently begun to call Federer a servebot?
