Hey everybody. What's different about Fed today? Is his footwork much better? Is he finally hitting lasers with that forehand?

It's killing me to not be able to watch this match. For now, I'll have to live vicariously through my fellow TTW Fed fans.

I'm never convinced Fed will win until the last point. He's had numerous total collapses from winning positions.
Has been a much cleaner game thus far. But yes, there's the trademark brainfart in the 2nd which is to be expected these days. But he's been super solid so far.

I hear you. I've been the same way for a long time now. Roger's form is a rollercoaster with a transient timescale MUCH smaller than a single match and his absurd Simpsons Paradox record is Exhibit A for the origins of my caginess.

Stops a run of 8 games lost out of 9. Still has been facing break point in every service game apart from the first one.

Coric is more Murray than Djokovic tonight it seems.

Even Murray had reached a major final and semi final when he was Corics age. Coric hasn't even reached a quarter final.

Goes to show how much the game has evolved, that baby Djokovic who only plays like Murray on his bad days can't reach a quarter final :rolleyes:

I agree with half of what you say.
Game has evolved, so Coric (only 22 y.o.) has to develop further than players in the past. How high he will end up is anybody's guess but he's got a lot of potential.
