2019 Cincinnati R3 - [3] Roger Federer vs [Q] Andrey Rublev

[The Green Mile]

VS

This will be the first meeting on tour between Federer and Rublev, excite. Fed looking to serve up some Swiss revenge, Rublev defeating Wawrinka in the previous round (no 0-17 hard-court H2H tomorrow)

Battle of the forehands? Yes, no, maybe? Does Rublev finally have the double faulting under control? Should be a fun one.

Zverev > Federer in every aspect of the game.

lol, what happened to the "first in, first serve" unwritten rule? We can use that one, I don't mind.

Guy with clavicle in two.

 

[Red Rick]

I am at an unfair disadvantage cause good polls take at least 10 minutes.

 

[Red Rick]

 

[Red Rick]

Ohwell, now it's on @The Green Mile if Rublev sends Fraud to the gulag

 

[Noleberic123]

Rublev in 3.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Gonna have to bring your game to a whole new level if you want to beat the Grandmaster, son.

I've been waiting this. Soon Fed will overtake Agassi(?) as the player with most matches against different opponents.

 

[Sambuccashake]

I have never before seen a tennis player who seems to be so in between clothing sizes.
It doesn't matter what he wears, it doesn't fit!

Now with that out of the way, Fзdя in straights.

 

[prairiegirl]

Rublev has about as much chance of winning as I would.

 

[heninfan99]

Rublev is the true GOAT. Will crush.

 

[3fees]

Federer in 2. Rublev winning is a wish, lol.

Cheers

Not much chance of that happening

 

[Breakpointerer]

Not much chance of that happening

Yep, going 3

 

[acintya]

I must say lately I have lost interest in any matches - also lost respect for the youngies..Now I watch only matches of the holy three vs other guys, matches like this one. I want only numbers, we have talkin too much already. Results is what counts.

 

[Red Rick]

Yep, going 3

They put Venus on CC?

 

[Breakpointerer]

They put Venus on CC?

yeah

 

[sbengte]

Is this Rouble he same guy who took out Dimitrov at USO '17 and started his downfall ? Hope Fed serves him some bakery products.

 

[Breakpointerer]

They're on court

 

[BeatlesFan]

Get Fed on court, dammit!

 

[BeatlesFan]

They're on court

WTH is TC showing some piece of crap doubles match!??

They're on ESPN2

 

[BeatlesFan]

Too bad Fed isn't wearing that wonderful dark green shirt today.

 

[Standaa]

Yep, going 3

surprised?

WTA matches always go three sets when Fed is playing next, usually ending in a 3d set tie-breaker

 

[BeatlesFan]

They're on ESPN2

Thanks, I figured it out, but missed the walk out.

 

[Breakpointerer]

Nope, not surprised.

 

[Standaa]

Fraud must break here

 

[Standaa]

Fraud must hold here

 

[Red Rick]

129mph in the first game by Rublev.

Don't remember him serving this big @Sysyphus?

 

[BeatlesFan]

Roger's BH looking lousy early on.

 

[Legend of Borg]

where was THAT forehand on matchpoint?

ok let's not talk about that....

 

[The Green Mile]

Roger's BH looking lousy early on.

Let's be honest, Fed's drive backhand has looked lousy for a while now.

 

[Standaa]

Fraud’s backhand is shiit today

 

[BeatlesFan]

So Rublev has a super irritating grunt on his groundstrokes. Oh joy.

 

[Standaa]

Fraud pissing me off

 

[BeatlesFan]

Let's be honest, Fed's drive backhand has looked lousy for a while now.

It looked great the last tournament he played.

 

[Breakpointerer]

Lol Fed broken

 

[Red Rick]

Rublev doesn't mind playing high tempo points or going for much on returns

 

[PeteD]

NOBODY PANIC

 

[Legend of Borg]

what a sh1t showing so far

 

[Standaa]

Fraud must rebreak here
