2019 halle open SF :- [1] Roger Federer v/s Pierre Huges Herbert

[Federer and Del Potro]

I’m salty Coric isn’t here I wanted Fed to avenge that abhorrent loss to him last year.

 

[Breakpointerer]

federer has to break here. and give a breadstick to pierre hughes herbert. if he can't breadstick herbert, how is he going to win wimbledon?

Yes, if he doesn't break here he should retire.

 

[natalia]

two points before I go one the mighty fed is going to get destroyed by golf on tomorrow to there's no chance to Mighty Federer wins Wimbledon discuss

Masterpiece. WOW.

 

[Breakpointerer]

I’m salty Coric isn’t here I wanted Fed to avenge that abhorrent loss to him last year.

I really,really want Fed v Anderson at Wimbledon.

 

[icedevil0289]

He will probably win in straights but throw in a couple of love 40 service games he makes himself have to dig out of

yeah i dont see fed going to 3 against herbert although stranger things have happened. with the previous matches, particularly since tsonga is so strong on serve, if it got to a tb, it could go either way so i could see a 3 setter which it ended up being plus tsonga had beaten him on grass before, granted many years ago but its not easy feat at wimbledon. we'l see a about pierre though but im

I'll take any win TBH.

I really want him to get #10 and #102 this week.

anyone know how goffin has been playing?

he has been playing better with each match, i thought he would beat berreteni today based from his match against zverev

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

I really,really want Fed v Anderson at Wimbledon.

Same 1 pt from straight set win to 5 set loss ugh that one sucked.

i assume for revenge purposes but im still peeved about that match. the stress levels i tell you, worse it was at work so i just had live scores and watching the live scores during that 5th set was utmost torture. needless to say i may have taken an extended lunch break

Would be nice if it goes as well as Raonic in 2017.

At least can avenge WTF loss vs Goffin

Ikr
And Isner was waiting in the SF

i'd say dubai and rome were revenge wins

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

i'd say dubai and rome were revenge wins

Yeah was pretty hilarious Roger beat him on Clay

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Looks like Federer is happy just to hold and win the set 6-3.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Interesting that Fed has barely ventured to the net this match. Guess he thinks he doesn't have to.

 

[arvind13]

1st set Fed 6-3

 

[icedevil0289]

will severin ever wear anything but that barilla cap

 

[Breakpointerer]

Good set. Now please, no walkabouts.

 

[MeatTornado]

All these points have already been short. No need to waste energy sprinting to the net if you can just wait 2 shots for an error instead.

I'm not taking that one for granted.

Works for me! Fed would easily beat Anderson in his current form. Anderson's done nothing all year.

 

[Breakpointerer]

0-30

 

[Silence]

Promised me he’d change back to the RF cap for TRS.

 

[arvind13]

Second set will go to tiebreak probably. the old fed would have won this match 6-1 6-0

 

[True Fanerer]

Fed humming his serves. Avg speed way up from rest of tournament. He's playing earlier in the day too.

 

[Raining hopes]

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.

 

[travlerajm]

Actually, no. I've watched Herbert quite a lot because I like doubles. But the guy simply doesn't have a measurement for singles point construction. He can only keep the ball in court hitting down the line (middle) and has serious problems in cross-court rallies. He also doesn't know how to cover the net in a *singles* context. His singles movement is also weird... because the movement in doubles is different.

The guy is an incredibly good doubles player. But watching Herbert is like watching Paes play singles.

Herbert is my favorite current player. His game reminds me of my much younger self.

 

[MeatTornado]

Works for me! Fed would easily beat Anderson in his current form. Anderson's done nothing all year.

Didn't Anderson secure the 4th seed for Wimbledon?

So he would need to reach the semi-finals or final to play Fed. Which I guess isn't really out of the question with his serve on grass, even if he isn't in form. But he might be in form by the time he gets that far.

What, like 2006 Fed?

 

[Breakpointerer]

BP

 

[arvind13]

yes

Fed will be blind soon anyway he’s pushing 80

 

[augustobt]

pay the man

 

[MeatTornado]

That was one of the first interesting points all match.

 

[Breakpointerer]

Senilerer is nearly 100

 

[abmk]

fed dumps slice BH onto net on BP. typical.

 

[TearTheRoofOff]

yes

The Fed that went to tiebreaks and/or or 3 sets against every single opponent at Halle? He had to fight at times back then too!

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Pierre might win more games than i expected.

 

[icedevil0289]

Federer fails to convert 3 bps all over now

 

[Breakpointerer]

Fed should have broken there... No prob, just keep holding.

 

[Silence]

Did Fed ever see someone about his bp conversion %?

 

[MeatTornado]

If tournaments were really rigged for Federer, they'd stop announcing the score so he doesn't know when it's break point.

[Otacon]

Good to see Roger comfortable in his service games.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Unfortunately he hired Lew to do it and the geometric mean actually proved he’s returning better than ever. Unbiased stats too

 

[Raining hopes]

You are 12 years late, given the way he shanks on b.p he already has developed occasional blindness.

 

[Breakpointerer]

Hiring Lew is proof that he's lost it in his old age

 

[AceSalvo]

Strong serving from both.

 

[Silence]

Commentators on TC just implied the Frenchman just needs to come twice as much to the net and all would be well. Are these guys actually getting paid???
