2017 Montreal SF - [2] Roger Federer vs Robin Haase

[Deleted member 77403]

Federer changing the height on the ball on almost every single shot, some up high, some mid, some very low.

But in danger of giving the break back.

[ACE of Hearts]

Federer with a lousy service game.

 

[jaggy]

Break and the bagels gone

 

[NBP]

Fed really acting like the 2014 summer smh

 

[kabob]

I think even after 3 matches, Federer's struggling to figure out how to hit through the odd high bouncing and slowness of this court.

[Federer and Del Potro]

Fed giving so many pts away on his serve this tournament

 

[icedevil0289]

Court conditions are a junk baller's paradise. Can't think of any other reason a hack like Haase is in the semis.

 

[AceSalvo]

Stublerer making a match out of this one.

 

[Fedeonic]

Classic Federer BH flick pass. I don't know how much I missed them.

 

[existential dread]

The Ljub abides.

 

[gn]

Arrogant Pass

 

[icedevil0289]

30-30, c'mon

 

[icedevil0289]

or not, you better freaking hold next game

 

[jwjh]

CORRECTION!

 

[Deleted member 77403]

Correction!!!!!

 

[MasterZeb]

Mohammed's a bit excited there

 

[icedevil0289]

one thing's for sure, regardless of how it goes this year, idt fed is coming back next year. lol

 

[kabob]

Lahyani-GOAT does not abide weak line calling

 

[Fedeonic]

His serve is way off, not even on Miami it was like that.

What do you mean by that? To Montreal? None of them will be back in Montreal next year.

 

[Standaa]

Wow, Federer is playing well

 

[jaggy]

Breadstick still on

 

[luiz_gustavo]

yeah that serve has me a bit worried.

I hope the reason is the court and not really the serve. We will have the answer in Cincy.

 

[metsman]

absurd half volley

oh snap, you got me. haha. i forgot they switch, toronto next year right?

 

[ACE of Hearts]

It seems like haase just can't do nothing at the moment to hurt fed.

 

[Standaa]

He'll be lucky to even hold serve

You know what they say...

If the politicians don't get you, The Hitman will.

 

[Standaa]

Lahyani is telling the score so dramatically everytime

 

[mightyjeditribble]

Love hold by Haase. Only one break in it.

So why does it feel as though this set is already over?

nice body serve

 

[Deleted member 77403]

Federer doing enough, he is more crisper with his shot selection than previous rounds, seems fully adjusted to competitive HC play now. I think he is deliberately not pulling out all the stops at the moment, wants to save that for what is coming up after Montreal.

Back issues?

Against potentially Zverev he'll need to be sharp.

Gonna need it in his next match should he advance here.

 

[Red Rick]

Ok, y'all fed fans, I know some of you are in the stadium and playing music. I just know it. There's no other explanation for what is happening

 

[mike danny]

Back issues?

Nah, he wouldn't be playing Cincy too if that was the case.

 

[jimjam]

lol, the commentators just said that Fed and Haase were practising together earlier this week and Haase won the only set they played. I remember Berdych having bageled Federer in practice before Wimbledon. I've heard him losing badly to other players as well.

Sounds like he might be a quite a troll

 

[Red Rick]

Heroic rally by Haase. Sweet point

 

[MasterZeb]

Linesman got a fly stuck in his throat I think

 

[Gazelle]

Love Federer's attacking groundstrokes this year. They haven't been this good since 2012.

 

[Deleted member 77403]

And that is the first set folks.

 

[Fedeonic]

Average 1st set for Federer. Will need to improve massively for the final.

 

[mike danny]

First set Federer. As routine as it can be. Despite dropping his serve, he hasn't looked challenged by Haase.

 

[abmk]

Federer holds for 15 to take the set.
