2021 Geneva Open R16 :- Roger Federer v/s P. Andújar

[Rafa4LifeEver]

The swiss maestro's first match in almost 2 months, 3rd match in over 14 months, and his first ever clay match since he stunned us with that surprising magical run at RG2019 with a semi final.

Let's discuss about this match, ladies and gentlemen.

 

[Third Serve]

Good to see the old man back on the court. Been too long since Doha

much excite

The world is so funny.

Thanks for making a match thread for this, can’t wait!

Nose returns

To save tennis from Cappy Berras and Chia Heads.

You're welcome, nose fan

@BeatlesFan

Roher winding back the years here, have a look at this.

 

[aldeayeah]

They have never played before, so Fed in 2 due to Andujar being starstruck.

 

[Arak]

Federer is fresh so should be in good condition to win. I say 3 sets.

 

[Feather]

Roger Federer in two sets!

 

[Deleted member 771911]

Andujar is a vet and likes Clay and this is his tenth event this season. Federer has played 2 matches in how long? I think Andujar takes this.

Its exclusive for your country, dude.
Here I have tennis TV though, so no worries.

@Nole Slam @BeatlesFan they keep nose match waiting due to cilic, outrageous..!!!

 

[BeatlesFan]

The Swiss guy playing Cilic now, Stricker, was Roger's practice partner in Dubai in December and January. I'd never heard of him then and have never seen him play. Right now he's playing Cilic very close. It's almost sad to see how far Cilic has fallen. Slam finals to losing the first set to a Swiss junior. Cilic looks so nervous on court.

You're reading my mind, Carl! I just this second was thinking, "I hope this Swiss kid destroys Marin 6-1 next set."

The Wimbledon 2018 loss to Pella after going 2-0 3-1 up killed the soul of cilic.
It has all been a downfall since then.
Really saddening to see such a nice gentleman free falling.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

@gn btw if I may ask, are you an Indian, gentleman??

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

#metoo
I wouldn't wish so if they'd be playing on some other court and rogi would come out playing on time.

 

[gn]

@gn btw if I may ask, are you an Indian, gentleman??

Yes

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Yes

You guys are lucky you get free official streams

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

@BeatlesFan your wish was spot on, fulfilled by God!

Cilic lost set 2 by 1-6.

Roger is coming soon.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Roger soon on court

 

[ForehandCross]

Have nothing better to do, so might watch parts of it.

Federer is done. Don't know why the streams comment section is sooo naive. It's almost irritating

 

[Feather]

EDIT

 

[gn]

They only show it for a few matches, I think. They stopped telecasting Masters on TV since the beginning of 2021 for some reason.
@Sentinel

 

[Arak]

Already missing balls during the warm up. Not boding well.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Are you in India? Any channel showing this match?

Lol what?? No. Why would have I said "you're lucky" if I was in India in the first place?
I'm an Englishman, gentleman.
This match is broadcast on YouTube as @gn said .

 

[NatF]

Andujar knows how to play on clay, will be good test for the old man.

@Sentinel

Isn't Tennis TV for India available for like 40£ a year or something, its a bargain I'd say.

 

[Arak]

Andujar pumped up. He really means business.

 

[ForehandCross]

looks okayish in strokes. Not much depth but good swings and good pace.

Hate the commentators worshipping him

 

[ihaveaquestion]

How to watch the match live? I am located in the States.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Roger looked very sketchy so far, mediocre movement at best.

TennisTV guys said something like, "Is this the second best clay player ever?"

 

[ForehandCross]

Nose about to get broken

TennisTV is better imho, ma'am.

 

[ForehandCross]

no movement from the old man, worrying. Serve is what will keep him in the match it seems

Well, if this not early jitters, then he just can not move. He is losing this if that stays so.

He's rusty, its expected

 

[Nuclear Warhead Sinner]

Umpire said 40-0 at 15-0 he better wake up.

 

[BeatlesFan]

He's rusty, its expected

Early days in the match obviously, but Fed was playing much better in Doha. After watching the Rafa-Djoker Rome final, this looks like a seniors match from him. He's serving well. Commentators just said, "Roger said he needs 10 matches before he feels comfortable again on court."

 

[Nadal15thslam]

I feel he can make the qf at Rg even at his current form
