2019 RG QF: Federer vs Wawrinka

[NatF]

i don't know if they are resuming today, looks like its supposed to rain for the next few hours which i think would bring them to 7 or 8pm paris time so idk if there is a point in resuming then

Well that would suck. In meetings tomorrow...

 

[Tennisgods]

Well, of course Nadal could break a leg. That's what it would take though

With his injury record, half a chance...

 

[NoleFam]

With the gloves and face mask it looks like the beginning of hospital themed porn movie.

LMAO.

 

[Sudacafan]

A 3h17 4-set match with two tiebreaks is quite short.

If this was a Djokdal match, it would be on 5 hours by now.

Epic fail.

 

[Wander]

By the way there might not be any play at all tomorrow - raining most of the day.

Well that would really muck things up. This match could go a while yet.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

My coworker saw the Wawrinka pic and promised to "not tell the boss the stuff you're looking at if you text me the pic"

Swear to god.

Thanks guys.

@NoleFam

 

[Steve0904]

Every single one of Nadal's fan.

Wow. That hurts.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Well that would suck. In meetings tomorrow...

Is it a statistics and financial feasibility meeting? Lew has taught you well. Bring them the geometric mean(s), slope where applicable, find x and y, etc.

They'll be blown away.

Make sure to mutter Fed sucks and naturally insert 2003-2007 in any conversation.

 

[Sudacafan]

Rains predicted in Paris for the rest of today, tomorrow, Friday and Sunday.

@NoleFam

How is your boss by the way ? What was her name again ?

@NoleFam

Lol. I work with weird people. (Switched jobs a couple of months ago) They probably would think what @NatF said. Lol. Not that you're weird Natf because it crossed my mind too.

 

[Cloister]

Rains predicted in Paris for the rest of today, tomorrow, Friday and Sunday.

So quarters all get done on Thursday, semis on Saturday, and pray they get a break on Sunday for finals or they're going into next week.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

How is your boss by the way ? What was her name again ?

Boss is a dude. Big Djokovic fan.

You're thinking of my annoying co-worker Sharon who always threatens to tell on me streaming matches on my phone.

Last year the boss caught me because of Sharon and simply asked if Djokovic was winning.

The good news? He was coming back.

The bad news? It was the Cecchinato match.

 

[Deleted member 763024]

It’s a repetitive story with Fed though. He seems to select shots particularly poorly on BP.

Stan has been good on them though.

Maybe he's more conservative on BPs, not necessarily poor. Perhaps that's also a fact that's known in the locker room and opponents are more confident in being aggressive on such points.

Perhaps because of his confidence in his own service games, he doesn't always feel the need to press trying to go aggressive on every BP knowing that if he keeps holding, he'll put pressure on his opponent eventually. That may not be another great's strategy and that's totally fine - each has their own way of achieving success.

All this is to say it's more complicated than simply saying Roger is a mental midget; his career achievements are an obvious testament to the contrary.

 

[Steve0904]

Most of that grounds crew is looking pretty old there.

Cancel tournament, all slam counts remain frozen

 

[icedevil0289]

alright i think no play until 6:30 for now, which is about 30 minutes although could be extended.

just saw they are saying no play until 6:30, but idk if they will extend that

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Fed gets to win the French on the same day as his R1 Wimbledon match.

I'm already handwringering that 1st round match.

 

[Otacon]

It should be raining until around 18:30 local time. Possible lull for an hour later. But with thunderstorms, it's hard to be precise.

Linear regression and correlation FTW baby!

 

[Mr Feeny]

The bad news is it does not like your version is backwards compatible.

The good news is it looks like there is a Ps4 collection version with more games and more features than the original:

https://www.ign.com/articles/2018/03/14/sega-genesis-collection-for-pc-ps4-and-xbox-one-leaked

Looks like it costs around 20-30 dollars nowadays.

Though I'm seeing used versions on auction sites as low as 10-15.

Thanks man!

 

[Legend of Borg]

man, no tennis forecasted at least until Thursday

sad state of affairs

Why the hell can't I stream matches on my phone? Never works. Maybe I need to update it or something. Boss is a Djokovic fan? What a great man. Lol

I hit the jackpot with my coworkers in tennis terms. We have Fed fans, Djokovic fans, one crazy Murray guy that reminds me of @Mainad and even a Gasquet fan.

Only RAFA is underrepresented but Sharon likes him, of course.

I don't think any of the people on my team like any sport. Never heard them say anything about sports and I've been here two months now.

Always blaming Sharon!

 

[Nostradamus]

Who benefits more from this Rain delay ?? Stan ?

 

[Gary Duane]

Roland Garros is the armpit tennis technology - no lights, roof, worst seeding system, and so on. But Fed did this to himself. Playing tired Stan all he needed was a couple BPs to get out of this before the rain because he even started earlier. Rafa will need a couple games and will be fine. Fed and Waw have ruined it for each other, I think. Now no matter who wins, Rafa will be rested and the winner will be exhausted.

I see RG 12 coming up for Nadal...

 

[icedevil0289]

looks like play will be resuming soon. if fed is smart, he will end it soon

rafa was getting to that final regardless unless you mean if fed finished it early, he could have maybe pushed nadal a bit to tire him out before he got the final

I read that as RG *2012*. Sunday will be wet and cool, so will Friday. The rest of this week is going to be so interesting but what is bad is that the weather is going to play a monumental role, be it conditions or scheduling because there is a good chance that the top hald will have to play their QF on Thursday and SF on Friday.

 

[Otacon]

Matches will resume in 15 minutes.

 

[WhiskeyEE]

Fed can decide after seeing the score in the Nadal match and hearing about his form whether he wants to tank or not.

I think he's pretty happy with how 'whatever he did to himself' turned out over a span of 20 years.

sharon tattles on you and is a rafa fan....smh

 

[True Fanerer]

Fed.

Stan has to hold serve after the delay.

Never an easy ask.

 

[TheIntrovert]

About to resume play. Unfortunately had to miss the first three sets but now I’m eagerly awaiting

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

sharon tattles on you and is a rafa fan....smh

She's the "fan" that watches none of the matches and then when she reads or hears RAFA won a slam she asks us all if we watched it and know about it and then brags about it.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Always blaming Sharon!

Grant, Phil and Sharon was peak TV.

Don't see Djokovic spoiling the party? He has been in great form.

 

[True Fanerer]

At least I think it's Stans serve

They were so wise to not put on a roof, it never rains in Paris.

lmao a rafa fan would.......kidding.....sort of. where is clay queen now to go on about rafa fans and being true fans of the sport and not just because of hype or w/e or was that octobrina, idk cant keep them straight

 

[Third Serve]

I tried to call upon the powers of 90's Clay to give Federer a definite chance of taking the win. Mods didn't like it very much but I hope I was able to channel enough energy to help.
