2019 ATP 500 Halle Final - [1.] Roger Federer vs. David Goffin

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Wow!

 

[True Fanerer]

If only the draw gods can add some more salt with Nadal vs Djoker SF

Pretty please

 

[TearTheRoofOff]

He needs to work on his FH in general. It's way too loopy, somewhat like last year when he carried a hand injury.

Funnily enough I thought his FH was pretty huge in his first match here.

 

[AceSalvo]

Smacked that FH.

[Breakpointerer]

One game away.

 

[EasyGoing]

This raisw of level in set 2 is a pretty good change from previous matches. Looks like his old self now - old as in 2017, not 2003-07

 

[Sysyphus]

Loch ness monster forehand

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Put 'em in a coffin!

 

[mike danny]

Go on then!

You can very well search on youtube yourself. Not stooping to your level.

Fed must absolutely work on his running FH before Wimbledon, he's so ****ing vulnerable when he's stretched on his right side.

Fed has to get back to 2017 form to have chances here.

The current form will not cut it . Any red hot players like Tsitsipas, Berretini having a good serve day can beat Fed.

What Halle win will give is the confidence.

 

[Badabing888]

Here comes number 10. And I am not talking about Bojo.

2017 will do very nicely.

 

[AceSalvo]

Boom FH from Fed.

 

[MeatTornado]

Funnily enough I thought his FH was pretty huge in his first match here.

And he said he wasn't happy with it. He was still trying to find the right pace.

 

[Steve0904]

There's no "working" on the running FH unfortunately. That's been declining since 2012, maybe even earlier.

 

[VaporDude95]

Omg what a BH return!

 

[AceSalvo]

Boom FH from Fed.

Make that a Boom BH now.

 

[roysid]

Congratulations on 10th.

He will slap anyone other than Djokovic you can book it.

2017 Fed had that fixed.

No no. In 2017, it was exceptional.

 

[roysid]

Double faults ..oh dear

 

[Breakpointerer]

CP

 

[VaporDude95]

Jesus 2 DFs for MP

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Fraud wins title #102, Halle #10 and gets the #2 seed for Wimbly

 

[chjtennis]

Goffin melts under pressure.....

 

[BeatlesFan]

#102!!!!!!

Why are people still propping up Tsitsi on grass? This is ridiculous now, he is no good on that surface, and his serve is light years behind Fed's. Berettini can't do a Bo5 over Fed, thisi s recency bias.

A power player such as RaoMug, Cilic, Kanderson or Tsonga redlining are the only obstacles before the SF - or the finals, pending on the draw.

 

[icedevil0289]

that was anti climactic but i'll take it. unfortunate from goffin with 2 double faults in that game i think

 

[Tennis_Hands]

..

 

[AceSalvo]

In Styleeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[Breakpointerer]

GSM Fed!
#102 and #10

 

[TheIntrovert]

Number 2 seed. Now let’s hope the draw helps him out a bit

 

[VaporDude95]

Fed is #2 for Wimbledon hahahahaha

Get ready for the delicious salt boys!

 

[clayqueen]

Cannot wait for the vamoos brigaade to claim Wimbledon seeding is rigged when it's announed that Fed will be #2

I don't care whether Fedr is seeded 2. He won't want to meet Rafa any time soon nor will Djoker.

You can very well search on youtube yourself. Not stooping to your level.

I have searched high and low but unable to find any.

 

[mike danny]

How great would it be if it were another grueling Djokodal SF and this time Fed benefits from it.

 

[chjtennis]

.... and Federer wins his 10th Halle and 102nd overall title! Congratulations to GOAT!

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Hopefully Goffin starts winning titles again. His form is improving again.

 

[Otacon]

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

I need some breakfast. Let's get this done and come back for the whining about #2 seed at Wimbledon

It’s almost like RAFA could play these events to get the 2 seed if he wanted.

 

[MajesticTennisManiac]

Can't work on improving footspeed with aging limbs

 

[icedevil0289]

if only goffin melted like wtf smh, we could have had 7

 

[TheAssassin]

One trick Halle pony to be fair...

Congrats on #10, Fed!

 

[tennis_pro]

Federer top 2 seed at Wimbledon. Enjoy your draw, Nadal

Tbh I'm not sure it's as much about a raise from Fed as it is a drop from Goffin. He handed over the break and Federer cruised from there. He does that a lot. You usually get to see all the genius on display when he's up enough in the score. I liked the tension of the first set. Felt it was more representative of the match.

 

[Breakpointerer]

#2 seed in the bag

 

[AceSalvo]

Pretty good week for Fed. Pretty good prep for Fed.

 

[mike danny]

Well, small hint: you won't find them on the Rafa youtube channels.

 

[Badabing888]

First number 10 title at a tournament and guaranteed number 2 seeding for Wimbledon.
