Dubai: Roger Federer (SUI) v Mikhail Youzhny (RUS)

[Ballmachine]

Come on Youhzny! At least make Roger serve for it!

 

[tennissavy]

good for youz

 

[ilostmymarbles]

advantage youzny

 

[tennissavy]

keep pressuring fed's bh

 

[Ballmachine]

How tough is it to win a point against Fed?

 

[Ballmachine]

Very tough!

 

[ilostmymarbles]

Deuce again youzny nets it advantage federer, fantastic play at the net. Championship point.

 

[ilostmymarbles]

Deuce. youzny sent everything to feds backhand untill he made an error.

 

[Ballmachine]

This kid is a fighter. You have to give him that!

 

[tennissavy]

so stupid of youz to go from his 2hbh to a 1hbh there, repeatedly. The ball was there for a 2hbh strike and he kept hitting one handed- dumb.

 

[ilostmymarbles]

advantage youzny but if i were fed i would have challenged that call.

 

[Ballmachine]

One more point baby!

 

[Ballmachine]

Did you see that approach by Fed? Unreal.

 

[vive le beau jeu !]

so stupid of youz to go from his 2hbh to a 1hbh there, repeatedly. The ball was there for a 2hbh strike and he kept hitting one handed- dumb.

when does he hit 2HBH ???

 

[ilostmymarbles]

Deuce again. youzny waste a good opertunity by sending his shot long

 

[tennissavy]

Again youz kept hitting one handed backhands and lost the point. Isn't he thinking?

 

[Ballmachine]

Match point again. Fed is bound to cash in soon.

 

[ilostmymarbles]

advantage federer, youzny sends it into the net

 

[dima]

And its over! HAAHAHA

 

[tennissavy]

The one handed bh choice has cost him now

 

[Ballmachine]

Not yet though! Deuce again!

 

[ilostmymarbles]

deuce again. fed sends a backhand long that shouldn't have been.

 

[Ballmachine]

Game Youhzny! Fed must serve it out now.

 

[tennissavy]

These one handed backhands are the reason that no one is closing out this game.

 

[ilostmymarbles]

Advantage Youzn'y thanks to an ace then Game youzny thanks to ufe by fed.

 

[jmsx521]

What does Mirka have on her hair... a glittering crown?

 

[tennissavy]

finally.......

 

[ilostmymarbles]

wow, fantasic play by both to make it 15/0

 

[Ballmachine]

Actually, Youhzny always hits a one-handed backhand. It is just a unique type of swing.

 

[dima]

well now its oficially over lol

 

[ilostmymarbles]

40 love, the 40/15 fantastic forhand by youzny

 

[jmsx521]

Youzhny is on fire!

 

[ilostmymarbles]

And fed gets it, 6/4 6/3.

 

[FedFan_2007]

Federer wins the title!

 

[Ballmachine]

No shame in that performance. Youzhny should feel very good about his play over the past two weeks. Fed is just too much for all at the moment.

 

[skandy]

Good match.

 

[TheMagicRacquet]

Federer claims his 2nd title of 2007. He's already better off than last year.

 

[vive le beau jeu !]

wow... was not easy to finish youz who was on crazy-hitting mode !
bravo roger !!!

Nb: tennisavy, i still don't get why you talk about 2HBH for youzhny...

 

[dima]

how many pts for fed and nadal now? anyone know?

 

[ilostmymarbles]

and.... the livestream stops halfway through the interview. waiting for it to come back again

 

[Ballmachine]

Im all pumped up now! I've got to get out and play some tennis! Have a great weekend everybody!

 

[ilostmymarbles]

blah blah blah, get on with the presentation.

 

[Fedexeon]

Federer and Youzhny played a great match. Congratz to the world num.1

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Nadal lost points and Federer gained points.

 

[ilostmymarbles]

didn't know it was feds 4th dubai title.

 

[Swissv2]

I wish they interviewed Youzhny

 

[vive le beau jeu !]

how many pts for fed and nadal now? anyone know?

if i don't make a mistake...
roger : 8120 -210 +300 = 8210 pts
topspinmonkey : 4705 -300 +75 = 4480 pts
(the dubai QF is still in his "best 5" total)

 

[Shabazza]

Great match and what a fight from Youzhny! He should be proud about his performance over the last 2-3 weeks! :grin:
He's climbing the latter of my favorite players at a very fast pace.

@tennissavvy: Youzhny didn't hit a 2HB for over 3 years now. Stop talking nonsense.

 

[ilostmymarbles]

wow, i love the doubles trophies!

 

[oscar_2424]

So,who won?
