2019 WTF 1/2 Final:Roger Federer vs. Stefanos Tistsipas

[Mike Sams]

Tsitsipas played intense 3 hours yesterday and it looks like he's completely fresh here. As if he had a week off! LOL
Great thing about being 21 years old.

 

[robert.s]

Lol. Federer being rude.

 

[Mike Sams]

This looks more like an exhibition than a semi finals match. Both players stinking it up today

Yeah...Tsitsipas is really stinking it up! LMAO

 

[icedevil0289]

Fed fans got so overconfident from the other day. Yes Fed was great on serve because he was facing someone he wanted revenge on and Novak was having one of his increasingly-prevalent walk through the flowers matches. Both are not consistent any longer.

no not all of us were confident and was novak that bad on thursday, couldn't watch. w/e it is what it is, ****ing hate that fed finally beat novak for this ****.

 

[Terenigma]

Federer had 90% of the court to aim for there, chooses to aim for outside the line. He looks utterly defeated, if he's gonna come back into this then he needs a miracle.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Fedr has no fh and looks tired

 

[Pheasant]

Wow!!!

 

[ibbi]

The most impressive thing about this match was the noise the crowd made when Federer broke back.

 

[StrongRule]

Not watching. Is Federer really bad? If so, it's even more sad that Nadal didn't reach the semifinals. On the other hand, Federer would probably play his best if it was against Nadal, so doesn't really matter.

 

[jimjam]

I;ve never seen age be as much of a factor in Fed's game as today. He really does seem worn down by the physicality of the first hour.

Lol, thanks for dropping by.

 

[Roddick85]

Seems like Fed is struggling at keeping the ball inside the court, also a bit tired I think.
I strongly doubt he'll be able to turn this around now, too late.

 

[FedrMatt]

It’s a miracle! Fed holds!

 

[icedevil0289]

I'm sorry fed is missing routine shots you telling me that it is all tsitsipas.

also im kind of annoyed by nole fans going on and on about how he threw everything to get revenge for wimbledon. please stop. we get it that is the only way fed can beat novak these days but i s2g that narrative is about to be really old two days later

 

[stringertom]

Don't forget Dubal and Halle.

And Miami.

 

[PeoplesChamp]

I'm happy. Federer beat Djokovic and that's what matters to me.

2020 is his last year on the tour imo. 2021 at most. No way he is playing past 40.

Federer is peak.

Spoiler

No, he is HORRIBLE.

 

[Lleytonstation]

Plus Djokovic played like his age the other day with rather poor lackluster movement and reflexes, and Federer played like he was 10 years younger. Today he is playing a fresh 22 year old with legs that can run for days. Much harder to do that against him.

This is what age does, you can have great days and terrible days like Fed is having today. Djoker and Rafa fan bases are starting to understand this a little more now.

 

[FedrMatt]

Nah it means nothing if he loses here

 

[icedevil0289]

i regret the fact that i thought tsitsipas after he beat him in basel would be better than nadal.

This is the last match of his career. I believe Fed will announce his retirement after this match.

He was being outplayed from the start combined with his inability to break in the first set which i think has mentally ruined him and Tsitsipas simply has not let up all match. Second set Federer has played many many poor shots and it seems like his resistance is fading whilst Tsitsipas has stayed consistently great all match.

John Millman

Injury, no?

 

[Red Rick]

None of the Big 3 care about the WTF.

He is FBPD.

 

[robert.s]

Amazing shot by Tsitsipas. I really like his shot selection.

Time ruins everything.

Ol' Rog on BP

Vs Tsitsipuss on BP

That sums up the match.

They should never play this "tournament" again.

Well, I believe against Nadal he would play better. Still, very sad it's not Federer vs Nadal.

Yea roger is bad today and tsitsipas looks awful too. If roger ups his game even a little bit he would win which shows how low tsitsipas level is too.

 

[MeatTornado]

Injury, no?

No one ever said he was injured. He just can't take the humidity in slow, soupy conditions like that. Even Novak was sucking wind that week.

 

[icedevil0289]

i hope this kid doesnt get an invite to boston.

 

[stringertom]

3 service games this set and he’s won 3 2nd-serve points. All time worst.

 

[NBP]

title 100 and a masters and will end no.3. wasn't he no.7 in 2013

I don’t care about Miami. Too many chokes, together with the worst loss of his career. Really, 2013 was 10x less painful. Anyway, it was a fun run.

 

[icedevil0289]

yep to be fair i dont think he was playing well during the summer, had nothing to do with injury. USO just doesnt suit him anymore.

 

[robert.s]

Thiem - Tsitsipas will be a great final.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Ol' Rog on BP

Vs Tsitsipuss on BP

That sums up the match.

lol I thought that was AJ Styles.

Can I hop on this bandwagon now? The ad system of scoring here sucks.

[Red Rick]

It's probably safe to say the Federer show is over. He can't beat the NextGen anymore. Doesn't have answers for these young strong tall guys who can stay with him shot for shot. 38 is just too old.

Ok Boomer

Why do you hate Federer here? It's not a slam. And Nadal will not return to the tournament even if Federer loses.

 

[Third Serve]

Ol' Rog on BP

That sums up the match.

That second gif is amazing

 

[The Blond Blur]

lol I thought that was AJ Styles.

LOLz I think it's Jared Leto

 

[stringertom]

Match and season game. At least make Shoesypas serve it out!

 

[NoleFam]

Federer is mishitting today more than I've seen in a long time. Tsitsipas has really broken his rhythm out there.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Woeful.
