"To a 5th we go "

 

[icedevil0289]

Fed has nothing in his ground game anymore.

i dont get what happened. i keep trying to tell myself he came back down 1-3 against nadal, his biggest rival...but i dont like seeing fed lose close matches

 

[RF-18]

WOWW

 

[abmk]

fed's level has gone down the drain.
30-0 Cilic.

 

[WeeDiM]

Cilic a big favorite to win it all right now. Federer hasn't been allowed to play his game for a long time now. Sad times.

 

[underground]

Fed got outplayed there credit to Cilic.

 

[Zodd]

I need a drink

 

[TheFifthSet]

This feels like it's happening in slow motion

 

[Deleted member 77403]

Final set, here we come!!!!

No matter what happens from this point on, I don't want to hear Cilic being called a mug.

 

[Russeljones]

This would probably be the worst loss of his career if he loses.

Not even close.

 

[TearTheRoofOff]

Which is why I said he cannot be a 70-30 favorite for any match at this age. Not against a big hitting big serving former slam champion.

Hindsight is the most irritating form of ammunition.

 

[MatsPhilander]

Need to open the roof, Fed is sweating.

 

[mightyjeditribble]

So passive.

FED NEEDS TO recover from this MENTAL BREAKDOWN

 

[heninfan99]

should have been an ace but wins it anyway

 

[BeatlesFan]

That sitter that Roger missed in the second set might have been the match.

You were definitely right.

 

[RF-18]

Bravo hercegovacccc

 

[bezs]

Yikes if Rog doesn't regroup there goes the title

 

[SQA333]

I have no belief in Federer winning the fifth whatsoever. Cilic is firing cannons right now

Payback for Wimbledon 2016

 

[Standaa]

I hope this won't be USO 09 repeat

 

[killerboi2]

You gotta red line in this set now Cilic. Don't give Fed any muggish errors. Would absolutely LMAO at how Fed would go from god to a helpless old man according to his fans if you win this.

 

[albertobra]

Let's get ready for a high quality fifth set!

 

[Oakel]

I do t like Fed when he plays “friends” doesn’t put them away. Hass at Stuggart, Goffin WTf

 

[DragonBlaze]

Fed, where art thou?

 

[Duncan Donuts]

Cilic Express is rolling. Can anyone stop it?

 

[Smasher08]

Huge momentum for Chilly. Looks like he's really found his range on returns, and Fred's feeling like he has to press.

 

[augustobt]

Cilic is 100% favorite.

 

[FHtennisman]

Still believe, Roger will come up with the goods.

 

[NatF]

Federer desperately needs to find his first serve again in the 5th. Cilic is returning very well at the moment.

 

[Pagoo]

From 3-2 loses four straight games.

 

[Prabhanjan]

WOW! Cilic is seriously proving his mettle!

 

[Fed881981]

fed's level has gone down the drain.
30-0 Cilic.

Since the 3-1 game.

 

[Deleted member 716271]

Not a chance in hell. Marin is killing him right now.

Well I put a small amt on Marin because of value so I hope youre right, but I think Fed emotionally can handle a 5th better. Marin's never been in this situation before, Federer was just last year coming back from a break down. We'll see.

 

[Rafa the King]

Fed to serve first in the 5th, could be crucial

 

[zagor]

Fed's gonna get blitzed in the 5th. Moving terribly right now.

 

[Chicharito]

Gotta hope Cilic cools off

 

[sbengte]

Fed will be broken in the first game of the 5th. You guys are already warned.

USO 2009 he lost the fifth set 2-6 right ?

Cilic has already smelt blood after Fed gifted him a new lease of life instead of going up 3-0 in the fourth

 

[Nadal15thslam]

If Cilic loses this Fed fans will brag about how tough the final was compared to Nadal's vs Anderson, so better win this Cilic!

 

[Red Rick]

Which is why I said he cannot be a 70-30 favorite for any match at this age. Not against a big hitting big serving former slam champion.

Pretty sure he can be, just not when matches like these go 5.

 

[MasturB]

****. Rog looks like he doesnt have it

 

[icedevil0289]

lmao at suddenly the in flux of nadal fans here.

 

[crocon]

Think Cilic has this unfortunately. Everyone talking crap about him can STFU. He is playing exactly how he should.

Fed was so close to running apway with this.

 

[Russeljones]

Final set, here we come!!!!

No matter what happens from this point on, I don't want to hear Cilic being called a mug.

But they will. Common sense and courtesy died some time ago.

 

[InsideOut900]

So uncharacteristic from Federer.
Both sets that Cilic played decent, Fed has cracked under pressure.
He looks so passive out there and serving bad.

 

[kalyan4fedever]

FEDERER sis a mental midget---THIS MATCH PROVED IT

 

[The_Order]

36 year old will run away with the 5th set. He never gets tired, old, injured or even sweats in humid conditions.

 

[D.Nalby12]

Federer' mindset in this match is quite strange - sometimes he plays not to lose. Sometimes he plays like he wants to donate that particular game. But so far he has not played to win this match.

 

[BigServer1]

This is USO 2009 all over again.

Fed also blew chances in the second. What the hell happened here?

 

[heninfan99]

there we go. Keep playing mean Marin.

 

[Zodd]

Ok Roger - time to dig deep
