2019 US Open QF: (3) Federer vs Dimitrov

[MeatTornado]

Roger can't break without double-faults

 

[icedevil0289]

you jinxed it

****

 

[kishnabe]

Classic BPointer.

 

[Breakpointerer]

Breakpointerer is in da house

both on court and on ttw

 

[StrongerThanAll]

I am so angry. I wonder how tough the next hold will be

 

[Poisoned Slice]

awww

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Classic Federer in action.

 

[Breakpointerer]

damn wtf

 

[romeo8880]

This is highly pathetic now by Federer. 0-40 and had good looks to break too

 

[Krish0608]

Fed is so bad. How can you so consistently fail on BPs. My God.

 

[Fed881981]

This is ridiculous! Fed keeps losing from a good position.

 

[Yugram]

Well, that’s really abysmal from Federer right now. All the momentum to Dimitrov.

 

[ArcspacE]

Is Greegor officially coach-less atm?

Has Stepanek been booted

 

[Otacon]

Roger was the night king not so long ago, now he prefers the day. I hate change

 

[USO19]

Why are people still expecting Federer to win this? What on earth are you even watching? HE HAS NO ANSWERS. He's getting his ass kicked.

 

[Steve0904]

Too much belief for Dimitrov here. Federer is really playing with fire. This is how you lose matches like this.

 

[megamind]

WELL DONE GRIGOR!

 

[RF-18]

Young artiste impressive today.

 

[crocon]

Hmm. Not looking great for Federer at the moment.

 

[albertobra]

WOW what a save for Dimi.

You can get good odds on dimitrov at +350

 

[Feather]

Three BPs gone. Hope Roger Federer does not get broken next

 

[MeatTornado]

Too much belief for Dimitrov here. Federer is really playing with fire. This is how you lose matches like this.

Pretty much exactly how Millman won last year. Fed opened the door of belief and then couldn't hang in the long rallies anymore.

 

[tennisaddict]

LOL, looks another night like Berdych , Robredo and Milkman

 

[TennisFan3]

Mad lad Medvedev is maybe getting some encouragement as he seeks treatment for himself and his broken body.

 

[Otacon]

Federer is losing the match I'm afraid. Unless Dimitroll remembers who he really is.

 

[MeatTornado]

Time to start slicing more.

No reason not to after all these shanks and long balls.

 

[Third Serve]

I'm sure Lew has a bunch of them for you, but you'll just ignore them.

Lew hasn't proved that Federer is better now than he was back then.

[GabeT]

This is getting annoying. I want to get tickets for a Fedal final. Come on!

 

[ADuck]

Odds say there's still an 84% chance Fed wins.

 

[Legend of Borg]

how is it that Fed can't hit a single running forehand to save his life?

every damn ball is an ugly loud shank on the frame

 

[celito]

Fed switched to PS90 ?

Did you actually check the score ? That’s not what we call an ass beating.

 

[luvly]

Come on Roger let's get a break.

 

[MeatTornado]

Also worth noting that Grigor has basically stopped missing. He's not nervous and trying to overhit anymore.

 

[eagletennis]

Federer is my least favorite player of big 3 but man I dont want him to lose against smn from lost generation.It's just not right.This dude is legend

 

[ADuck]

Lol grigor, why didnt u go down the line??

 

[albertobra]

Tim for Fed to get a PS109

 

[AceSalvo]

Still don’t know why Fed gifted that 2nd set. One shank too many.

 

[Mr.Lob]

Baby Fed doing pretty good. Brad Gilbert said he wouldn't win a set, when asked if he'd win one.

 

[beltsman]

This is just sad. Time for Fed to retire.

 

[celito]

Humidity .. I blame the humidity.

 

[Arvind Sridhar]

Federer just not playing freely....Dimitrov on the other hand hitting deep and is reading Federer's wide serve very well causing Federer to go up the T too much...

 

[The Blond Blur]

Ole Greg hitting it right back to Fred

 

[crocon]

Also worth noting that Grigor has basically stopped missing. He's not nervous and trying to overhit anymore.

Pretty much. He is hitting the ball more confidently than Federer. His level needs to drop for Federer to be favored at this point IMO.

 

[megamind]

SERIOUS QUESTIONE

why does Dimitrov wear a headband when his hair aint even long

 

[Rogfan]

Carlos Ramos at it again.

What did he do?

 

[Legend of Borg]

not framing the ball = winning rallies

WHOA!!!!!!!!

 

[romeo8880]

Best rally by Fed in awhile

 

[Steve0904]

Also worth noting that Grigor has basically stopped missing. He's not nervous and trying to overhit anymore.

Yeah, because he's realized Fed is playing like garbage, or at least a few notches down from where he normally is.
