USO has not been Fed's arena for quite some time, so I dont expect a lot.
However, this is the most atrocious play I have seen from Fed considering it is against a guy who should not EVER break Fed. I am not going to spend much time talking about the fact that Fed looks mentally rattled from WC, his serve (what is happening here?), the fact he had so many BP's against, so many deuce games, so many points just thrown away, and the fact that he is getting broke at an alarming rate since WC.
We are at the point where a win for Fed is simply a win, no more, even in the first round, and we need to get used to the fact that he can lose to anyone at anytime. No more freebies. Period.
He struggles to serve things out, that is a HUGE problem. He looks tired, slow, and uninterested to be honest. No player is afraid of him.
Fed has reached the peak of FBPD, as you can see from my post...
All of this said... he won, and any win for Fed at 38 is a blessing none of us ever thought we would have. I love rooting for Fed in matches like this... just dont like having to pick up the wreck I make in the house afterwards... and apologize to the wife...
