If he wins this he's coming in off two withering, tough three set matches; he'll be ripe for the picking.

He still looks awkward at the net but much better than a few months ago. He is also playing in the doubles event with his brother as the partner, who is one of the few pure serve and volleyer on the tour now, and that could've helped a lot as well.

Seems like we'll be getting the blockbuster final, Zverev looking good
Don't bring in the fatigue excuse already, he's a 20 years old. I didn't know what tired meant at that age.If he wins this he's coming in off two withering, tough three set matches; he'll be ripe for the picking.

A 20 year old has twice the energy as a 36 year old.

I hope Federer gives him a lesson he'll never forget.

was this the 3rd double in this very game?
Gasquet gassed out. Expected since he is just coming back from injury

Gasquet was gassed by the end. AZ is still not a natural on grass but he knows how to win ugly. Something that Kyrgios needs to imbibe.

Yes, but the 20 year old has to play doubles as well next...
That is like a practice session .

Why exactly do you hate Zverev that much?

Good. I can't imagine anyone wanted a Fed/Gasquet final.

Well, he's young.If he wins this he's coming in off two withering, tough three set matches; he'll be ripe for the picking.
Fed hasn't faced a real test yet, Khach handed him the match. I think AZ wins.

which is not exactly taxing. This is grass, he hasn't been grinding out points for hours on end. Whoever plays the better tennis wins tmr. Relax, it's only Halle after allYes, but the 20 year old has to play doubles as well next...

He should stop playing doubles matches at every tournament that he enters. Mr. S&V should find another partner.Yes, but the 20 year old has to play doubles as well next...

Did Kim play against the men?
Maybe Fed and Rochus, don't remember, hence the question. Tournament?

No x-factor, smug personality, whines all the time, thinks he's 10x better than he actually is. His game is ok but the rest kills it for me.

Me too, but I actually favor Sasha in this match. Haven't been remotely impressed with Fed's form since his return.

Sure, but why do you want Fed to teach him a 'lesson he never forgets'? Sounds pretty vindictive.

Yeah, Federer better deliver because what he's produced so far won't be enough.

On the body, yes, but on the mind? How would losing effect him heading into the match tomorrow. It certainly didn't help losing in doubles the night before when he played Nadal earlier in the year. I forget the score, but it wasn't pretty.

You're not a Fed fan... most were praying for Gasquet as his opponent tomorrow.

I want someone to put him in his place so that he knows he isn't the best player in the universe.

Well, Roger will have to dramatically raise his level. His ROS has been atrocious, his movement average, his BH predictable and non-lethal and his mental lapses are back to 2009-2015 level.
Worrying final opponent for Fed. The only guy alongside Kyrgios, Cilic and peak Djokovic showing up that I fear for Fed at Wimbledon.
That said, Fed should have enough serve game and experience to grind this one out.
Disagree that Fed's been awful. His % of net approaches won is impressive and he's generally been OK on serve. FH has been firing overall too.
Movement, BH and ROS have been sloppy must admit.

Some Federer fans here even more defeatist after he won a major than they were in 2013-2016 when he won none.

The thing I don't like about Zverev is the constant fist pumping, sort of in his opponents face. If Nadal wants to do that, he's earned that right by being an ATG. It is a little much for Z to be doing it almost after every point. I don't like this constant interactions with his box either. He should go out there, quietly do his job and let his racket do the talking. Hopefully he'll learn that.

The grass competition (sans Djokovic) is better now than last 3 years
I see tiebreakers or 6-4 type sets coming up.I agree, Fed in 3. Tough, long match. Great preparation for Wimby.

Why? This is Halle you want the better opponent and better prep.
