Sod crumbled mentally when he had his chances, in the end he almost looked happy to lose

yup, i was rather shocked to find he posted while i was typing. I was actually called just for dessert as i was about the press Submit !hey look, he posted just above you. He never fails to show up with his bucketload of fail
Talk of Serendipity (or whatever).

The movement was back today. Also the volley is coming along but still not great. What I have been impressed with has been the tactical approaches and I think Anacone has something to do with this. He ran Soderling around and did not let him hit big ground strokes with heavy forehands and deep slices. He did the opposite to Murray. He kept him in the center of the court and never got into an angle contest.

Yeah, lets not give Fed any credit.
Sod was serving bombs. He even got his break back and was almost level with Fed in the TB. It was 5-6 in the TB for crying out loud.
It was only in the last game that Sod seemed to give up, in the last couple points it seemed quite obvious.
I am wondering how Murray beat this Soderling (I missed that match due to timezone).

Robin really struggled to get anything past Murray, the court killing any pace he put on the ball, with Andy being such a great defender.

Sod was also dreadful at the net, his movement was poor too. Murray's tactics were spot on.

yeh he did well to get back but when sod had some chances say to get to 15-40 or 30-40 in the 2nd he missed wide with winner attempts when he has the court open- he just cant hit the ball in when it matters. And the LEAVE at 5-6 in the first set tie breaker was hopeless.

Ha Andrew Castle today was saying "lets pleeeeeeease hope Soderling works on his volleying in the off season". Eeeeech. Sad but true.

I liked seeing Fed attempt more net play,clearly he's no Edberg on the Volleys, but just coming to net and making decentish volleys worked well and the drop shot is working too.

i did not get to see a replay so i have no idea what happened, or how close it was. Seemed to me like it was going way out, and I shouted / face-palmed.
Then i was shocked to see it was in. That seemed really lucky for Fed, so i again can't fault Sod.

I didn't see much of the match today, were Sod's volleys equally, erm, avant-garde?

Actually it's 200 points, not 500. There are no "bonus points" for going undefeated, just the points awarded per round robin win. Each round robin win = 200 points.
3 x RR win = 600 points
SF win = 400 points
F win = 500 points
so, undefeated WTF = 1500 points

First time Federer has made the semis at the YEC without losing a set in RR
Not bad for a guy who is nearly 30!

Missed this match, didn't think it was worth getting up for. But from the looks of it, great stuff from Fed!

right NOW that's where they're showing a few minutes (since murray/ferrer just got over) of yesterday's federer/soderling for those who missed it ... obviously, this is for the fed fans, since it's the second set with the roger domination!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYBODY!!!
