this federer won't make it that farJust in after the incredible Stan-Klizan match.
This looks like a practise set in comparison. This Federer can´t possibly beat Berdych... or can he?
Definitely this.People should lay off on Wawrinka. Did nothing wrong. It wasn't exactly the time to be nice with his shots.
Federer loses five staight games from 3-1? I know he's rusty but jeez!
I think the decision to play Perth instead of Brisbane is coming back to bite Fed.
And in that time Melzer won 22 of 29 points! Amazing stat.
He shouldn't have quit on the point, but it was because he knew Stan was going to put that ball away.
If you hit it that hard, you don't even have to aim at the player.How is Wawrinka to know what Klizan is thinking? That was a vital point, Klizan's shot went high, which gave Klizan an opportunity to take a competitive court position, which every other player ever to play the game at that level would have done. Instead...Klizan walks slowly towards the net, Wawrinka's watching the ball which he intends to absolutely crush because of the importance of the point, and Klizan's dopily not defending himself.
Maybe against Falla at Wimbledon 2010?When was the last time Federer failed to win his R1 match in straight sets?
Federer won 16 straight points from the end of the 1st set to the beginning of the second, so...
When was the last time Federer failed to win his R1 match in straight sets?
If Federer loses early, he would still be rusty because his next tournament his Dubai in five weeks. Not sure about this comeback.

wait seriously? jfcIf Fed loses here he's out of the top 32.

I'm not saying he can't do it. But it was a dick thing to do
I just hope this is not because of another injury. His movement is not all that great.
He didn't have to be nice. He only had to hit a decent ball to win 100% of the time. This was a body shot for ****s and giggles, he was very lucky Klizan reacted that way.People should lay off on Wawrinka. Did nothing wrong. It wasn't exactly the time to be nice with his shots.
Yeah but that's Federer. You'd expect him to be capable of that. Melzer otoh while ranked #300 is a different story.

He could have lost in the first round in Brisbane but Perth gave him a chance to play three full matches. So that was a better decision

Means Fed must be playing badly. Not surprising, but a bit of a shame really. He'll lose a Slam seeding if he goes out today.

Imagine he'd done it with Federer and how this place would go wild.Imagine if he hit Bendych - Bendy would have refused to shake his hand
Fed's fine physically. He's just terrible. More terrible than I expected him to be, but I can't exactly say I'm surprised either.
I guess too old isn't an argument that holds up in this particular matchupFederer getting bullied by Melzer at the minute.

Melzer is just more match tough. He went through the qualies after all.Federer has more mileage though
bu buh butt but Milerer just doesn't have the same ring as ******* or GrandfathererFederer has more mileage though
