[mike danny]

[merwy]

Luckily enough he's better at saving BPs than making them

EDIT: Istomin looks like he's choking.

 

[mike danny]

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

Istomin choking

 

[mike danny]

[mike danny]

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

wo wow wow what an UE

 

[JRAJ1988]

Another miss, another BP...

Saved by Fed at the net

 

[mike danny]

can't believe it. he would have made that return 10 times out of 10

 

[RF20Lennon]

Fed had a chance to hold, kept hitting the wrong spot and now missed an easy forehand

 

[anubis]

I think Fed is afraid of hitting "one more shot".

 

[mike danny]

great clutch volley from fed

 

[mike danny]

i think delpo would have made that DTL forehand

 

[JRAJ1988]

Come On Roger!

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

awful volley

 

[merwy]

Jesus Christ Federer.. those are the kind of volleys I miss and get annoyed about

 

[mike danny]

[Sid_Vicious]

Its crazy seeing Federer look this desperate to win consecutive points.

 

[mike danny]

Yes Yes Yes Go Fed !!!!

 

[JRAJ1988]

He battled through.

 

[Who Am I?]

Big hold Fed

 

[TennisLovaLova]

From Uzbekistan with Choke

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

GOAT is GOATINg, he finally holds!!

 

[RF20Lennon]

Its crazy seeing Federer look this desperate to win consecutive points.

Seriously have no idea why he deteriorated so quickly! Just last year he won WIMBLEDON!!

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

From Uzbekistan with Choke

that's the problem with this kind of player :-? Istomin lost the match in that second game

 

[mike danny]

can't believe i am cheering this loud. it is like watching him play one of the big 4

 

[TennisLovaLova]

The slice of death

 

[Who Am I?]

Fed not shanking as much.

 

[underground]

Its crazy seeing Federer look this desperate to win consecutive points.

You were saying..? :lol:

 

[merwy]

[TennisLovaLova]

Dtl bh of death

 

[Who Am I?]

Nice BH DTL. Break please.

 

[mike danny]

what a backhand. reminds me of his prime days

 

[RF20Lennon]

FEDERER with 0-40 now!! Come on!

 

[JRAJ1988]

Break to Federer!

 

[Who Am I?]

Great point by Fed to break. Now I can breath a sigh of relief.

 

[mike danny]

Yes Fed Is Back Baby !!!!!!!

 

[RF20Lennon]

YEAH BABY!! Thats the Federer we know and miss!

 

[Fiercer]

Great, he breaks despite Istomin getting his first serve in.

 

[underground]

You can say Istomin choked. But it's these matches where Fed comes back from the brink that brings his confidence back and tells himself that he can play clutch in tight situations.

 

[mike danny]

this is the moment fed should be cruising
