2019 US Open QF: (3) Federer vs Dimitrov

[romeo8880]

Some incredibly lucky shots from Fed in this game. First the netcord at 15-0 then that blind volley. I don't mean anything bad but let's be honest.

I agree. Fed is not sharp right now and he NEEDS his serve

 

[Rickenbacker4003]

Fed looking sluggish in the New York humidity.

 

[Foed]

Here we go again.

 

[augustobt]

New York crowd cheering double faults. Daniil would eat that New York treatment up

Would? The guy IS ready for that.

 

[Steve0904]

Holy f.uck LMAO!

 

[Krish0608]

This is the worst I've seen Fed play in a while.

 

[Breakpointerer]

ffs

 

[MeatTornado]

Broken record, but:

serve percentage this set back under 60% because of this game now.

 

[crocon]

Federer has no confidence in his groundstrokes

 

[Rickenbacker4003]

The conditions are rough now with no wind.

 

[ADuck]

Wow grigor. Amazing pass

 

[fmadej]

They both play atrocious

 

[Legend of Borg]

Fed needs to send his rackets out for a re-string or something. Because right now he's afraid to fully swing through any shot without them going long.

swap them for some Babolats so he can get some actual topspin on the ball

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

[AceSalvo]

What’s happening to Fed’s serve??

 

[Breakpointerer]

Saves both

 

[Steve0904]

That's better. Now hold your serve!

 

[romeo8880]

Fed looking sluggish in the New York humidity.

Signs of Millman in Australia?

 

[augustobt]

Sweat in the eyes?

I have short hair and I wish I used headbands more often. I sweat a lot on the forehead and when it hit my myopic eyes it's an awful and unnecessary pain/distraction.

[sredna42]

Running fh pass on a plate for bp, and it was just all too much for grigors frail ticker

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Federer is gonna get beaten soundly if he advances and plays like this.

 

[AceSalvo]

What’s happening to Fed’s serve??

Thanks for the reply Fed. All good now.

 

[augustobt]

Holderer 5-3

 

[Breakpointerer]

yeah Fed holds somehow

 

[Poisoned Slice]

 

[Foed]

Picked up the level at the right time there.

 

[romeo8880]

Federer is gonna get beaten soundly if he advances and plays like this.

He just needs to get through tonight. He won’t play this bad again

 

[crocon]

When Dimitrov struck that return I thought he had the point won

 

[MeatTornado]

Goes down double-break point because of 2 shanks on rallies due to 2nd serves.

Wins game after nailing 4 straight 1st serves. It's not even funny how important it is.

 

[ArcspacE]

New York crowd cheering double faults. Daniil would eat that New York treatment up

Scum crowd

 

[celito]

Close 2nd set. Close roof. Turn AC on.

 

[Yugram]

Federer is gonna get beaten soundly if he advances and plays like this.

Yep. Both Nadal and Medvedev will straight set Federer in this form.

 

[icedevil0289]

break him again, at this point i cant rely on him holdingserve.

 

[slipgrip93]

wow, quick half-volley

 

[WhiskeyEE]

Can't believe some of you thought Dimitrov wouldn't choke. Smh. He's the best example of a wasted talent with no brain.

 

[Legend of Borg]

to be fair, that breakback was on Grigolo's racket

he had the 4-4 easily

 

[Arvind Sridhar]

Man...this is nerve wrecking.....Federer just making it too difficult for himself....

 

[eagletennis]

That was amazing. Really good stuff

 

[sliceroni]

Sampras half volley there.

 

[megamind]

wanted grigor to win this set to reallly put the pressure on fed

 

[MeatTornado]

Damn, Rocket's eyes are getting more sunken every day.

 

[AceSalvo]

Can't believe some of you thought Dimitrov wouldn't choke. Smh. He's the best example of a wasted talent with no brain.

Did you shake your head when Dimi rolled over for Djoko and Nadal since 2014??

 

[Steve0904]

I bet Rod Laver could beat Federer even now. He just needs to use the 100 MPH slice.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

WHAT A LOB!

Double set points for Fed

 

[icedevil0289]

i legit was like pleae dont djokosmash

 

[Krish0608]

WHat a lob from Fed.

 

[AceSalvo]

Maestro’s Lob!

 

[Aussie Darcy]

And Fed goes up 2 sets to 1!

 

[icedevil0289]
