2017 Miami SF - [4] Roger Federer vs [12] Nick Kyrgios

[The Green Mile]

Minute hold for Fed, and Nick's serving again lol...

 

[ultradr]

I expect !+ tie-breakers.

 

[guanzishou]

Put some guerrilla glue on your hand Nick... it will grip better on your racquet

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Need to break soon. Let's go!!!!!!

 

[Raindogs]

Spot serving masterclass.

 

[mike danny]

Fed is serving well today. Polar opposite of Nick.

 

[jwjh]

Near 10 minute hold for Kyrgios, and he levels it at 2-2. What does he exactly mean when he says "Get up! Get up!" to his box? Is he wanting them to show emotion? He's been saying this for ages now.

Move up the court?

 

[Tennisanity]

Kyrgios' servebotting keeping him in the match

 

[ruerooo]

Sky sports used that six million dollar man thing as an article last week. Roger has been rebuilt. The technology to transfer backhand powers from others has really worked wonders. I imagine that cost a lot, but it has been worth it.

He's Roger. He can afford it

 

[The Green Mile]

Move up the court?

Yeah, that makes sense.

 

[underground]

Just hope Fed keeps this intensity in this match, if he has this he won't lose.

 

[1HBH-DownTheLine]

Should probably be 4-1 or 5-0 right now. Fed on a mission. I'm waiting for Nick's knuckles to start bleeding from punching his strings lol

 

[lud]

This Fed will destroy Nadal in final.

 

[enlightenment]

I think Kyrgios will struggle to find serving rhythm as long as Fed is winning all the baseline rallies, ramping up the pressure on serve.

Once (if) Federer dips this match could turn around quickly.

 

[Nick Lynch]

Kyrgios looks genuinely nervous

Yeah, Fed is really owning him from the baseline.

 

[AceSalvo]

4th game - 10 mins

5th game - 2 mins

Guess which one's Fed?

 

[PrinceMoron]

I would rather listen to screamapova than watch NK bounce the ball for 10 secs every serve

 

[Sysyphus]

Please show the rest of the match in this camera angle please!

Edit: Fudge. Jinxed it.

Amen. The court-level perspective gives a completely different (and IMO more 'accurate') view of how they actually play. Shame it isn't used more.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

I think Kyrgios will struggle to find serving rhythm as long as Fed is winning all the baseline rallies, ramping up the pressure on serve.

Once (if) Federer dips this match could turn around quickly.

More like if Kyrgios dips it will end quickly. He's already getting annoyed if he loses server on top of it he might have a coronary.

 

[-NN-]

Nick served well on those points Fed couldn't have done much there.

Fed only really has himself to blame on the first return game. Should have had easy 0-40.

Not me!

 

[Tennisanity]

Kyrgios' girlfriend not that great. Sock did much better.

4th game - 10 mins

5th game - 2 mins

4th game is Nadal, no?

 

[edberg volleys]

KG will run out gas

 

[YellowFedBetter]

HOLY COW Nick has a steady?!!!

 

[mike danny]

I can already see this playing in my head. Kyrgios will last as long as he can but will implode in the tiebreakers.

 

[AceSalvo]

GOATalyani warning about Time Violation.

Lot of ball-bouncing from Nick suddenly.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Hold your serve!!!

 

[mike danny]

Easier hold for Nick.

 

[gogo]

KG will run out gas

You may very well be right. He may be young, but, let's face it, he's not likely the most dedicated trainer!

 

[icedevil0289]

didnt nick beat fed in 3 set tbs, i dont know how long that match, but given that it was on clay i imagine it was somewhat long. nick will be fine, even if he implodes this set, he can always come back so i hope fed stays focused.

 

[Freddy Cat]

Anyone else feel that the way Kyrgios has been serving lately is comparable to Raonic?

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Teasing backfires.

 

[-NN-]

LOVE FIFTEEN FOR KYRGIOS THIS IS HIS CHANCE YES


LOVE-THIRTY.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Rock solid indeed.

Let's go.

 

[Deleted member 3771]

Kyrgios slowed down the pace of his ball bouncing slightly, his nerves might be easing a bit now

 

[AceSalvo]

Anyone else feel that the way Kyrgios has been serving lately is comparable to Raonic?

trying to outfox the opponent by waiting a bit longer.

 

[mike danny]

Fed has just dug himself a hole. Not good.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Yeah 3 TB's . And 3rd was like 14-12

 

[veroniquem]

You scurred?

I think Kyrgios has a better chance of beating Nadal than Fed...but that's just me.

I do not care who has a better chance vs who. I am sick and tired of geriatric tennis. Great grandpa has got to go and next gen has got to start showing balls...
Goooooo Nick !!!!!!

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Almost got lucky. lol

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Fed will pay the price. He wasted his opportunities.

 

[lud]

Kyrgios is top 5 server of all time.
Apsolutely monstruos serve..

 

[icedevil0289]

Yeah 3 TB's . And 3rd was like 14-12

damn, so i dont know why people think nick will collapse physically. mentally..maybe, but idk.

 

[gogo]

Nice DTL by NIck!

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Delicious.

 

[Backspin1183]

Lord Fedr in trouble.

 

[Terenigma]

Did Kyrgios just sabr on a first serve? LOL
