Barclays ATP WTF 2014 SF: [3] Stan Wawrinka vs [2] Roger Federer

[Sentinel]

The Swiss in straights.

btw, i know who voted for Wawr in 3, *chuckle*. He also voted for Murray in 3 the other day, lol.

 

[Team10]

Federer def. Wawrinka 7-5, 6-2

 

[Vensai]

Roger Federer in 2 sets. He's the only one who can defeat Novak Djokovic at the moment.

 

[joeri888]

Either Fed in 2 or Stan in 3 I think. Not sure which one.

 

[tennis_pro]

I'd root for Federer anyway but this time I wanna see him reach the final and lay a beatdown on Djokovic who's too friggin sure of himself and needs to cool down.

 

[merwy]

Federer in 2. Why would Wawrinka mess up a fellow Swiss on the world stage ;p

Are you kidding me? Remember Monte-Carlo?

 

[tennisfan3024]

Roger in straight sets

 

[Terenigma]

Hard to see anything other than Federer in straight sets. If i knew Wawrinka had a chance at playing well in the final then id pick him but he'd be destroyed by Djokovic again. At least Federer in the final gives us potential for a somewhat entertaining match.

 

[jm1980]

Now that Djokovic is through, I am hoping for a competitive match with Fed coming out on top.

 

[Chico]

Fed will let Wawrika win so he can gain some confidence for the DC final

 

[RF20Lennon]

Has this officially become the DC thread? Go France!!!!!!!!!!

LOL your hatred for Federer transcends into national boundaries.

 

[tennisaddict]

LOL your hatred for Federer transcends into national boundaries.

The more achievements a player has, the more the player is talked about.

Perhaps veroniquem is a Frenchie.

 

[Hood_Man]

Hmm, these seats aren't quite as good as the ones I had for Kei and Novak.

 

[Fed881981]

Hmm, these seats aren't quite as good as the ones I had for Kei and Novak.

I will be happy to have them

 

[Hood_Man]

Never! I can see everything this time at least, even if I have seriously rediscovered my fear of heights :lol:

 

[Hood_Man]

Fed seems a little sharper in practise imho, than he did before the Murray match.

 

[rjms]

can fed double bagel today

 

[stiggytennis]

Fed's in good form but can Stanimal come out of its cage?

 

[tennisaddict]

Fed seems a little sharper in practise imho, than he did before the Murray match.

Awesome. Hope he saves his best for the finals

 

[Fed881981]

Never! I can see everything this time at least, even if I have seriously rediscovered my fear of heights :lol:

You should see Fed a lot then...

 

[tennis_crazy]

This semi will be a free pass. What a shame. Anyone in Djoko's group (Berd or Cilic) would have done better vs Fed.

Your hatred towards Fed really amazes me.
Keep it up & loud. Clearly Fed's success this season has given you many miserable days....

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Veronique doesn't have anything to do these days then to bash fed since her boy can't stay healthy.

 

[Underhand]

Stan the Lapdog wouldn't bite the Boss' hand.

 

[PrinceMoron]

Hmm, these seats aren't quite as good as the ones I had for Kei and Novak.

Down the stairs, turn left and the bar is there. Sounds fine to me.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Federer probably wants another crack at djokovic.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Wawrinka vs Joker would be another beat down so no.Go Fed!!!

 

[Chanwan]

It's not might, could or would, it's "will" when the only obstacle to it is "other Swiss player"!

then just stay out of the match thread and post your thoughts on the final in the general thread.
Nobody thought Nishi would have beaten Djoko today. Had he made his shot on one of the two BP's, he just might have (Djoko looked shell-shocked at that point).

No match between top-players is a complete given. And at least he's got better belief than mental midget Birdman:

"I believe I can beat him," said Wawrinka. "I've been seeing him playing last few months. He's playing great. He's playing amazing tennis, especially indoor. He loves the place here. It's going to be a tough match for me. But I will have to play my best game if I have a chance to beat him. I know I can do it. I know it's going to be very difficult.

That said, Fed in 2 tonight

 

[Chanwan]

Never! I can see everything this time at least, even if I have seriously rediscovered my fear of heights :lol:

Are you on the upper deck? Enjoy! Should be able to watch some good backhands even from up there.

 

[Marty Cintron]

Federer in 83 minutes.

 

[Tennisknowledge99]

The Swiss backhand show begins!

 

[Federer302]

LOL your hatred for Federer transcends into national boundaries.

One of the biggest Federer haters around.

17-6-302 is like a thousand daggers to the heart.

 

[Tennisknowledge99]

Good start for Fed

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Federer needs to do a better job returning

 

[Tennisknowledge99]

Break for Wawa!

 

[Marty Cintron]

Federer seems weak today.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

What a lousy service game.Typical federer

 

[TheMusicLover]

Stan looks like he's meaning business today. At least so far.

Yep, there's the break!

 

[underground]

Lots of nerves from both players it seems.

 

[FanOfLu]

LOL. Wawrinka Nadaling Federer's BH like there is no tomorrow.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

No excuses for Fed.He has had pretty much an easy time.getting to this point.

 

[Gonzo_style]

Good start for Fred!

 

[MaiDee]

can fed double bagel today

I don't think so.

 

[Rozroz]

Wawa is nailing Serves.

 

[Algo]

Stanimal mode

 

[RF-18]

Come on Rog!

 

[RF-18]

lol, edbergs face was like ''what are you clapping about''?

 

[Steve0904]

Long way to go to be sure, but all I'll say is that if Wawa does beat Fed, I just hope he shows up in the final.

 

[marc45]

What a lousy service game.Typical federer

his first all week, and it's typical?...good lord

 

[FederErizeD]

Wawrinka all of a sudden remembers he has a 1st serve.

 

[underground]

Urgh Stan getting all his first serves in.
