Fed's lack of passing shots this year is really coming into play tonight.

It was the death of him vs Tsitispas in Australia.


Players should have been doing this to Federer for years already. He's off often enough with the passes to regularly test the waters. Very few bother. Good volleys are not even required half the time.

Following live score and this thread at work. Almost had a couple of heart attacks just doing this

i remember doing that during wimbledon. i may have had to take an extended lunch break to collect myself as i saw him go from 2 sets up with 2 match points to that 5th set. luckily my boss was in meetings most of that time

I had the match set to record, but I just wanted to peak at the score to settle my nerves at work, but I never looked away and ended up following the scoreboard point-by-point.

Bad decision.

Well I guess it was good for Fed to test those nerves out...might have cruised a bit too easily for his own sake.

Once again, upwards and onwards. SF should be interesting, imo Shapo is a better opponent for Fed than Tiafoe.

yeah tiafoe has atleast played fed a few times and yes he wasn't a 100% at the uso 2017,but gave him a tough match so he would not have gone in with a bundle of nerves, denis we'll see how composed he will be but i wouldn't mind another teacher fed moment

He beat Thiem at WTF after he beat Anderson, did he not?

Also only his second match against a Top 10 player this season. The other being the Thiem final at IW
I remember Fed facing Anderson after facing Thiem as Anderson had already qualified for the semis after beating Thiem and trashing Nishikori.
