2019 US Open QF: (3) Federer vs Dimitrov

[Aussie Darcy]

Fed with a MTO now

 

[augustobt]

****! I can't believe that.

 

[gn]

Worth noting couple of breaks came for Fed on Dimi's DF.

 

[RFGOAT1992]

dimitrov defense really good, its djokovic like, sliding all around, he is making the court feel small....the ball feels slow though maybe its the humidity.

 

[Feather]

Roger has only himself to blame, he didn't do enough on those break points.

 

[celito]

Too late for physio Fed.

 

[AceSalvo]

Too bad. It’s over.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

An off court MTO...

 

[sliceroni]

Amazed how my UEs Fed has. I was surprise he smiled after that bh miss.

 

[BeatlesFan]

All those doubting Cahill need to STFU. When he says Fed has back issues, he does.

 

[Yugram]

WHAT THE ****????? HOW IS HE GETTING OFF COURT??? Is it even legal?

 

[Krish0608]

Ok now I am indeed worried.

 

[NastyWinners]

Hope he gets his buttocks rubbed ala AO17.

 

[MeatTornado]

This is worse than Delpo 2017

 

[Feather]

I am not liking it. I think I can see where it is heading right now. US Open and Roger Federer, the story continues

 

[icedevil0289]

mirka looks concerned

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

WHAT THE ****????? HOW IS HE GETTING OF COURT??? Is it even legal?

Yes?

 

[True Fanerer]

Make the lostgen proud Dimi.

 

[FedrMatt]

Too bad. It’s over.

Nadal has basically been gifted the slam count over the past couple of years.

 

[Hypergxtraspin]

Anyone have an idea what racket/pattern and string combo dimitrov is using this US open? I know he was fiddling patterns earlier this year, but seems to found his groove again with this stick. The cross strings look gold. Luxilon 4g?

 

[BeatlesFan]

Off court generally means extreme lower back issues, Fed's usual issue. It's not the groin because he wouldn't be pushing off in this manner.

 

[USO19]

Hahahaaha.

Where's whatshisface asking for the proof of Federer's injury?

Yeah, Federer lost a set to a guy who never won an ATP match in the first round here because he just suddenly got old after beating Nadal and having 2 championship points vs. Djokovic. Right.

 

[augustobt]

WHAT THE ****????? HOW IS HE GETTING OF COURT??? Is it even legal?

I wonder what kind of idiot makes questions like that and the response is obvious: People who don't watch tennis.

 

[TheIntrovert]

Last time fed went off the court for the physio, he won’t the tournament

 

[Backspin1183]

It's funny when some of his fans insult him as if he was playing for them.

He is embarrassing them with those shanks.

 

[Tennisgods]

All those doubting Cahill need to STFU. When he says Fed has back issues, he does.

Interestingly, when the physio was called commies on the European feed said “wow.” No clue...

 

[luvly]

MTO????!!!! Oh my

 

[icedevil0289]

well atleast its before his own serve

 

[MasturB]

Neither are playing that well. Both are hitting more unforced errors than winners, and Dimitrov has 6 double faults to 0 for Fed.

This is when unforced errors is not telling the whole story.

The guys are smacking the hell out of the ball out there, and the other is just playing great shots.

 

[mr tonyz]

I really hope Fed doesn't re-create Cilic H2H here lol.

 

[Meles]

Badbackerer can forget about this US Open.

 

[Deleted member 762343]

Perfect, first Djokovic is injured and now Federer might be too. Dammit.

 

[vsdtrek]

This seems so similar to last year where Fed just got drained. Even if he wins (iffy now), this likely dooms any hope of #21 happening Sunday. Too much energy spent.

Makes Stan’s loss even more annoying. So wanted him to get #4 but would have taken Fed #21 as a consolation prize.

 

[Otacon]

We wanna see what happens in that room.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Federer should not even play the us open anymore.

 

[James P]

Time to take some amphetamines! Up that old timer game.

 

[AlexanderTheGreat08]

FINISH HIM DIMITROV , PROVE YOURE A MAN

 

[TennisFan3]

Does Mad lad Medvedev get encouragement from this? Maybe he thinks he can go 5 sets as well.

 

[AceSalvo]

Nadal has basically been gifted the slam count over the past couple of years.

3 times by TimmyMug.

 

[BeatlesFan]

This is worse than Delpo 2017

He wasn't remotely injured or compromised in that match.

 

[sliceroni]

No bueno.

 

[fedfan08]

Well back issues would explain the crappy play. Of course people will say he just took an MTO to disrupt GD’s momentum.

 

[USO19]

All those doubting Cahill need to STFU. When he says Fed has back issues, he does.

Christ are you insufferable. YOU YOU YOU said that Federer's back was fine based on what Federer said.

 

[Krish0608]

US Open has become such a nightmare for Roger.

 

[top10]

Fed went for the bathroom/painkillers...let see how it will play out in the 5th...

 

[Picmun]

 

[Sudacafan]

Choking against a choker.

 

[celito]

Fed needs a Physio and a Psych

 

[icedevil0289]

Perfect, first Djokovic is injured and now Federer might be too. Dammit.

shockingly nadal is the healthiest this tournament

 

[SikSerb]

Insane how much that Wimbledon final took out of both Federer and Djokovic.
