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

[NoleFam]

This is perfect actually. Federer at least did his job two days ago. It will be great to see one of the younger guys winning this tournament for yet another year.

Lol Rafa fans are happy as they should be. I know it was a great relief to get that YE #1. I know you guys are on cloud 9 now.

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

I really want Thiem versus Tsits. I think they have been the best players here this year.

Definitely. Tsitsipas is my pick to win this.

Imagine the ABZ meltdowns if Sascha does though...

 

[lowtohigh]

High highs and low lows. That's just how it is with aging superstar athletes. Appreciate the highs as much as possible.

 

[youngpolyhater]

What is it about Tsitsipas that Fed chokes so badly on breakpoints.
Very sad stuff

 

[maratha_warrior]

Salt.

I repeat -fck those insecure ,weak minded crowds , who don't want a competitive match but want to disrupt game of Opponent of Fed . Aren't they confident in fed's abilities ,that he will beat Novak ?
why the hell do they want to shout when he is serving and jeer at him Shout at him .
Not ready for a fight ?? bunch of loosers . Today Tennis Former stars criticised the London Brit fans.. read some newspapers .

Again My absolute respect to Federer , but fck the crowd who are so insecure and weak lol

 

[Poisoned Slice]

yep yep

missing 2 smashes early on set the tone.

 

[jimjam]

Bunch of players retiring. All of them younger than Fed?

Remember that when you think about this loss fellow Fed fans

 

[Breakpointerer]

Good bye Berdych, will miss you

 

[Meles]

Stefanos looks about to congratulate the retirees with his shirt off.

 

[speedysteve]

Well done Tsitsitastic.
Bit sloppy by Fed.

 

[N01E]

For people with no intellectual gifts or the ability to have an intelligent conversation, this is the default answer.

I'm not a fedfan, so it's quite obvious that my IQ is nowhere near as high as yours. To be fair...

 

[Meles]

Good bye Berdych, will miss you

or not

 

[NoleFam]

Definitely. Tsitsipas is my pick to win this.

Imagine the ABZ meltdowns if Sascha does though...

Tsits has been the best here this year. I want him to win this year honestly.

Yea they will meltdown again I guess. Lol. I'm sure Rafa fan would love it.

 

[kishnabe]

Now Thiem must do his job. Anything but 2 Handers.

 

[Deleted member 763691]

Federer wasn't bad statistically, 21 winners and 26 unforced errors.
That is not so different to Tsitsipas 18 winners and 21 unforced errors.
Plenty of action in this match

 

[Terry Tibbs]

Federer had 24 break points over this match and the Oz Open match and converted only 1. Just mind boggling.

This and to add more:
The crowd is trying to disrupt the youngster, who needs more support. How classy. Instead of being at least respectful to the other player you choose to try to put down Fed's opponents.
If someone of these idiots recognizes himself in what I said know that you are only showing how stupid you are.

Breakpointerer liked it

 

[veroniquem]

Just don't understand how he can play as well as he did against Djokovic and then come out and play like this in the next match. Can anybody explain?

Djoko gave maximum effort vs Thiem (without pulling off the win in the end which cost him dearly) and came out flat vs Fed. Fed produced perfect match vs Djoko but could not do it twice in a row. That's what aging means in tennis. Consistency goes.

 

[NoleFam]

Are y'all watching the retirement ceremony? Berdych, Ferrer, Baghdatis and Almagro all leaving the game. Farewell my friends and thank you for your dedication. The King Berdych leaves us @Federer and Del Potro.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

''He's my cup of tea, very much so.''

 

[Terry Tibbs]

Fair play though to Tsitsipas. Great player to watch.

 

[Antonio Puente]

Fed, that's not how you're supposed to do it. If you're trying to get revenge on Djoker, but lose the next match to Tsitsipas, It doesn't really mean anything.

 

[zuluzazu]

Nadal seems to be the only one out of big 3 who is consistently able to deal with the next gen(that match with zverev aside).

 

[Poisoned Slice]

He looked like he could be the guy, yeah, ya know.

Fed can't control them. PeoplesChamp ya know.

Fedovic is my favourite matchup . They play so high quality that it's a pleasure and treat to witness.

But Brit fans make it impossible to have a neautral competitive match . they fcking doesn't even care for a competitive match . They jeer ,shout ,disrupt and do anything to Distract Novak . And it is not funny .
20,000 fans distracting u is no fun .
I started disliking Fedovic matches now..
It is too much to take for a 16 time slam Champ .
On Thursday ,Novak wanted to get out of the arena asap . I am sure he wants to give them back at Wimbledon 2020 . He will .

 

[icedevil0289]

honestly im convinced some ignorant people here think cheering for double faults is akin to hurling racist slurs against people the way they go on about crowds. hostile crowds is what IW was for serena at one point but keep going on with teh victim complex

 

[acintya]

the problem for Fed is Tsitsis pace - he is really fast

 

[maratha_warrior]

Fed can't control them. PeoplesChamp ya know.

You will never see me criticising fed for that Crowd behaviour..
I dislike the crowd ,not Federer .
Respect for Fed .
I really want to enjoy Fedovic matches ,which Brit fans at London doesn't allow .

 

[veroniquem]

So now, it's all about matchups: if final is Thiem vs Tsitsi, adv Thiem. If it's Z vs Tsitsi, adv Tsitsi.
Although Thiem could be a little worn out due to super tough draw, so I like Tsitsi's chances overall if he's not too nervous.

My reply to u remains same .. the thing I replied to other fed fan..
Respect for Federer ,but won't respect Brit London fans of Thursday .

Many Former tennis stars and columnists criticised London fans today.. Read newspapers..

 

[tudwell]

If the ESPN graphic was correct, I think Federer is 5/34 on break points across all matches with Tsitsipas. Crazy.

 

[HetTheGreaterer]

Team fed really needs to figure out his breakpoint conversion against the greek.
The match was much closer than the scoreline suggests

They are pretty bad at times. Sometimes I think it does the opposite of helping him too. I get where you're coming from.

 

[Born_to_slice]

Old vampires slayed, new dawn is rising...until AO...

 

[Meles]

Timmy to save tennis now eh @Meles

The Fraudulently fast courts (now coming to an Australian Open near you) will allow the genetic freak to walk away with this sadly. This court juicing has got to stop.

[Tiki-Taka]

Lol Rafa fans are happy as they should be. I know it was a great relief to get that YE #1. I know you guys are on cloud 9 now.

It was a great bonus because the way I see it, Djokovic has been the man to beat for majority of this decade. Getting the better of him over the whole season is to this day an amazing achievement. But even if he didn't it would have still been a great season. Nadal's two Majors this year are up there with my favorite moments of his.

It was a great year for Nadal and much deserved. You guys deserve to enjoy this moment.

 

[Enceladus]

Federer-Tsitsipas 3:6, 4:6
Sub-par performance from Fed. It's the second match against Tsitsipas with a bad BP conversion - 1/12.

[Deleted member 763691]

The changing of the guard because.....Rafa beat Medvedev and Tsitsipas?
Wake me when the nexgens win ONE slam title between them
We've already seen them win London, last year Zverev beat Djokovic in the Final easily.
Heck, Dimitrov won London too....

 

[Mainad]

Wow, what happened to Fed???

He was just a pale shadow of the guy who trounced Djokovic just 2 days ago. 17 forehand UEs and only 1 out of 12 break points converted!!!

All credit to Tsitsipas for taking it to him the way he did but, come on, what the heck was going on with Fed???

 

[celito]

I must say I should pay more respects to Federers humanitarian efforts.

Not killing another generation of tennis is pretty humanitarian thing to do.

Altruistic.

 

[Deleted member 763691]

I wonder if Federer will be this generous with the unforced errors when he next meets Rafa on hardcourt

 

[BeatlesFan]

the problem for Fed is Tsitsis pace - he is really fast

The problem for Fed is that he's ancient. 2004 Fed was FAR faster than anything Stef brings now.

 

[tudwell]

For the third year in a row, 5 of the 10 biggest ATP events were not won by the Big 3. It’s only a matter of time before the slams start to fall.

 

[Badabing888]

Not surprised really. Movement was lacking today and it is obvious now that it is affecting staying in rallies. Just compounds the errors and not taking the break point chances. Those 0-40 missed opps are becoming more and more common.

 

[zep]

Tsitsipas actually plays really well on break points. I noticed that yesterday against Nadal too. That's usually a sign of a great player.
