AO 2018 Final - Roger Federer [1] vs Marin Cilic [6]

[Sentinel]

Wondering what would have happened if Cilic actually played in the first set...

Keep wondering

 

[The Fedfather]

Just sublime skills!

 

[marc45]

Well, I thought so.

easy as pie

 

[stringertom]

Sick dropper from the fedr bag of tricks!!!

 

[joblo]

but a bunch of love games can't HURT Lol!

 

[killerboi2]

How can anyone say Fed was better before?

Old man when it suits him, god when it doesn't. ALL of those times he got WRECKED by proper opposition from 2010-2016 ALL OF THEM count.

 

[The_Order]

Cilic not happy with racket tension?

Hopefully he doesn't start crying.

 

[abmk]

nice dropshot from fed and holds at love.

3-1 fed.

 

[Sarzy]

Roger playing all the shots right now

 

[Fed881981]

Match is far from over. Chilly more than capable of redlining. Hats off to him for fighting of yet another BP to eke out yet another hold.

Agreed.

 

[Red Rick]

Cilic is fighting hard, but he's too inconsistent and Federers serve +1 too solid right now

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

That dropper

 

[fedtennisphan]

QFT

Gif with Roger yelling Shut Up!

 

[BringBackWood]

No idea why Cilic insists on playing such % tennis against Fed. Its like he's trying to play the same against Fed as against Nadal even though the ball coming at him is so different. It really is woeful. A bad spectacle as well

 

[kalyan4fedever]

too easy for cilic, nothing t o lose come on rogi

 

[MarcusInKensington]

Imperious l’empereur.

 

[Deleted member 512391]

5k+ rpm on that dropper.

 

[marc45]

you can't be 6'6" and serving in the low 50's, indoors too

 

[Pouet156]

Arrogant Fed wins love game on drop shop

 

[Sereger]

Wondering what would have happened if Cilic actually played in the first set...

He would get injured

 

[Deleted member 77403]

Hopefully he doesn't start crying.

I think he will be just fine. He has held his emotions in check here.

 

[kalyan4fedever]

can fed just put the ball in the middle of the court please instead of angles

 

[Red Rick]

Fed feeling the same amount of pressure he would have in Rotterdam

To be fair, Rotterdam is partially below sea level, so air pressure is pretty higj

 

[TMF]

Lol at Cilic is angry about his rackets. I mean should his team have all of them ready strung before the match? This is a grand slam for christ sake!

 

[BeatlesFan]

Can Roger hold three more times?

 

[abmk]

chip and charge from fed ...
was wondering why he hadn't done that before.

30-15.

 

[Sysyphus]

There's something so routine about this match, almost doesn't feel like a slam final, namsayin'?

 

[killerboi2]

Funny how FRAUD was a 1 slam winner from 2011-2013 with real competition and his own fans tried to paint him as some pathetic old man, yet here he is beating up on weak competition yet again, moving like a 23 year old.

[icedevil0289]

cilic still in it until i see like two cp for fed

 

[Krish0608]

Fed needs to be careful here. He has to hold 3 more times consecutively. Cannot afford a lapse in concentration or level.

 

[D.Nalby12]

Hopefully one break is enough to seal this.

 

[Standaa]

5k+ rpm on that dropper.

For real?

 

[abmk]

Cilic with an ace to hold at 15.

3-2 fed.

 

[Deleted member 77403]

Can Roger hold three more times?

Can he? Sure.

Will he?

Yeah and so do those two consective USO finals where Pete got wrecked because he wasn't playing his bald pigeon.

Or the time he go schooled in his own game on Centre Court by ponytail wearing teenager headcase.

You gonna be so mad in a few minutes when he is holding up another piece of big metal

 

[eliars]

LOL, it was GSM at the coin toss.

You don't want Fed to win this match?

 

[RajFederer]

1 break is never safe especially when you’re playing for a championship , when you’re playing a guy redlining everythingand most importantly serving second in the set...
Please Hold Roger ,.. 3 more !!

 

[Sysyphus]

Can Roger hold three more times?

Imma go out on a limb and say: no.

this post was not edited at an opportune moment.

What's pathetic is your life is so empty it consists of posting endless hate. Hilarious.

 

[DragonBlaze]

Ten bucks Federer gets broken for the first time serving for the match...

Too much GOATness in one pic

 

[Krish0608]

Danger time. 0-30.

 

[La Grande]

How can anyone say Fed was better before?

I agree he looks fantastic but remember the level of competition and the mental strength of the opposition.

 

[mightyrick]

Here Federer is... as sub-par as he's been in a LONG time... doing everything he can to try to make this somewhat watchable. And Cilic won't let him. Such a huge mug. Even after being gifted a set... Cilic mugs it up badly.

Federer fanboys hilarious... they are trying to make this seem like a nail-biter. When in reality... people are biting their nails wishing it would be over, already.

 

[BigServer1]

Danger zone.

 

[RF-18]

Quit your agenda posts. His rallying skills with his FH a decade ago was far better. Go watch the Safin match if this is boring you out.

Game is much faster than 00 era. How is he able to play this fast without having the movement? His FH is as good as it's ever been, have you seen his FH on the run throough these weeks? His BH has been better than ever for years now and serve aswell. Ive watched old fed and how he used to play and there is no way in my mind that version is better than what we have seen for the last years, regardless of age. But that is just a number.
