Their AO match was amazing, hope for more of the same

Their AO match was amazing, hope for more of the same

It was scary as well..
When roger blew away 5-4 serving for set in the 2nd, I suspected another milman. But he was too clutch

 

[chola800]

you would think after 2 rusty starts federer will be sharp and get it done in 3.. who knows at his age

 

[junior74]

Difficult to predict. Federer needs to be sharp against someone like Evans. Rallying won't do. Passing shots and aggression will.

Perhaps it's for the better if Evans won, so we can get the dream final between Djokovic and Kyrgios?

Haters in full flow

 

[weakera]

If Federer is still bad Evans has a chance, if Federer isn't as bad Evans will be crushed

 

[Breakpointerer]

Federer, hopefully in straights this time.

 

[Big_Dangerous]

Federer, hopefully in straights this time.

Gloves gotta come off from the start today. I think Fed takes it in straights though. 6-4, 6-3, 6-2.

[Big_Dangerous]

Hope you're right

I gotta feeling!

 

[socalmd123]

Evans is tough. Hope Roger comes out with his A game

 

[Russeljones]

Roger better play his best tennis ever or he has no chance, no?

 

[DSH]

Another 2 hours and a half for Maestro.

 

[James P]

Extra day of rest for Roger should be the difference maker.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Fed on court!

 

[Breakpointerer]

Fed serving first.

 

[DSH]

Fed serving first.

What do you expect from this match?

Should be a good one. Will be a tough test for Federer if he's sluggish to start.

no. dream final would be nick vs fed with fed edging out in 4 sets.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Let's see if Roger starts with more conviction than his last 3 matches, including the Rublev match.

I think it looks worse on TV than IRL, but it can't be helpful!

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Quick love hold game for Evans.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Good pop, good pop.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Poor ROS'ing in that first game from Roger.

I know, but I'm looking for anything good that I can hang my hopes on!
