Lol.this is how bad Sandgren is

if Federer loses this, he should officially spend the rest of his days on the futures circuit
Lol.
Actually Sandgren seems like an okay player from my own personal eye test, but that's probably cause I only see him when he makes a half decent run. Feel like he should be top 50.
Obviously wanted Fabio to get the W today but Fabio hasn't ever put a dent into Rojer, so perhaps this would be the better match.
I know some will think I'm trolling but I'm not. It will take either seismic shock or a strategic tank for Federer to lose this. I'm not going to say Federer would fear Djokovic, but if Djokovic were to get beaten by Raonic the drive and desire from Federer in this match would go up by umpteen degrees.
Picking Federer to take this in 3, maybe 4 sets if he's in the night session.
When I've seen him he basically seems like 6/10 on most things but it's probably all or nothing with that guy. He was struggling with his hip vs Fog, so that might even hamper him vs Fed.on the flip side, having only watched him when he's getting drubbed on the challenger tour, I'm appalled that he's somehow made two AO quarters.
Looks like he's been serving well here, though. But his baseline game has always been rather harmless.
Tennys got the last laughthis is how bad Sandgren is

Would not expect it.Not sure if you watched the Sandgren-Fog match. Some clean brutal hitting from both. Sandgren can easily pull off a Millman against this Fed.
Would not expect it.
The guy is a journeyman for a reason, and it'd be atrocious for even this vulnerable Fed to go life and death with the guy.
Biggest challenge of Fed's career, this.
He reached the quarters here couple of years ago too.Why not a late bloomer? I don't think journeymen generally beat the #8 seed, a slam SF'ist and #12 seed "convincingly".
He reached the quarters here couple of years ago too.
Then he went right back to doing what he does best: being a journeyman.
Only way Fed struggles is if he's abominably bad imho.

Dude there are probably top 20 players in this era that will be journeymen.Why not a late bloomer? I don't think journeymen generally beat the #8 seed, a slam SF'ist and #12 seed "convincingly".
If journeymen are ranked 56, then tennis is in deep trouble.
Fed should win this in 3. He'll then have the energy for Novak. He cannot afford to mug around in any of the sets. He (and his legs) needs a straight set win.

I do have faith in Roger Federer. He played Novak Djokovic very close in the last two hard court matches and one he won. It's super tough for Roger Federer to beat Novak here but it's not impossible
This is djoko’s house. Fed has already struggled this tournament. The semis is as far as Fed will go. Djoko will be ready to end his run and make it 4-1 H2H at AO

so who's roger playing after this round ?? this easy prep could be the perfect prep for Novak. Fresh and healthy Federer can run right over NovakThis is the first time Roger Federer and Tennys Sandgren are playing. The winner will play SF against the winner of Novak Djokovic and Milos Raonic match.
I didn't say that Novak Djokovic is not the favorite. I do hope for an upset.
Depends how you define it. If it’s monetary based they arent journeymen. But if it’s thinking of them as good but not elite there’s quite a lot journeyman potential even in the top ranks. If berrettini and Shapo stayed on the same career trajectory their entire careers I’d personally consider them journeymen by how I interpret the definition .Fully agree. Shame on Shapolavov and Berrettini who couldn't finish off "journeymen".
Fair enough man. We will see what happens
Doesn’t matter. Of course Novak is the favorite and will win in all probability. But Fed always brings it against Novak unlike Nadal. So I’m sure Novak won’t have it easy.I doubt it matters either way. Novak will be a big favourite against Fed in semis. You know that!

I only disagree with Roger or Novak or the so called neutral fans who say Roger Federer has zero chance to beat Novak Djokovic. That's not true at all..
