[skip1969]

Ok, I got back from picking up some food. What the hell happend to Blake in the 2nd set?

you don't wanna know.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

It seems like Fed has no clue.The guy can be awful when it comes to closing a match!!!

 

[Tezuka Kunimitsu]

federer fell....!! 3rd set goes to blake.

[sportsfan92]

awesome!!!!!! i don't know if i can do that again.

 

[psamp14]

but not before i say blake takes the 3rd set...onto the 4th

 

[cuddles26]

Federer is proving to be a lousy choker tonight. I hate when he plays garbage like this.

 

[tennisfanatic]

my finger is in trouble!!!LOL

 

[tennis_hand]

good blake.

 

[jjk20]

ohhhh, someone said somethin about Fed turning his ankle....

 

[ACE of Hearts]

I am happy for Blake, as a Fed fan, he didnt deserve that set, what a choke!!!!

 

[dmvprof]

FED will win the tiebreak i'm sure of thaT!!!

Hint....don't ever go to vegas with your life savings.

 

[tennisfanatic]

blake got it.................................................

 

[sportsfan92]

Ok, I got back from picking up some food. What the hell happend to Blake in the 2nd set?

blake went out for a bagel.

 

[zolo]

WOAH!! I was getting ready for bed and it got interesting!! Nice one Blake! Fed must be wound up by having to play more!! LOL

 

[AngeloDS]

Ooh that was a close one for Federer. I saw his ankle just slightly twist; he was lucky he fell that way or he would have easily just twisted it more and sprained it pretty badly.

 

[The Victor]

What the hell... Roger better bring back his second set form.

 

[arnz]

Nice one Blake. At least he can say he has won a set against Fed now

 

[dmvprof]

ohhhh, someone said somethin about Fed turning his ankle....

Yea, was kidding. But he looks OK.....

 

[tennisfreak]

I am happy for Blake, as a Fed fan, he didnt deserve that set, what a choke!!!!

I guess Fed fans can never give credit where credit is due. Blake outplayed Fed that set.

 

[tennisfanatic]

ok blake won..... 1st drop of set for fed....

 

[dmvprof]

oooh he did turn that ankle a bit

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Congrats to Andy Roddick, 2006 U.S Open champion.

 

[cuddles26]

F$%K Roger, what a damn choke, you should be embarassed. I almost hope you lose the match now.

 

[skip1969]

well, call me crazy but there's no way blake will hang for five. but that's not even the point. i know fed is the grand master and all . . . and i give blake all the credit in the world for pulling out that set . . . but it bugs me when fed plays with that "all i need is one break a set and i'm good" mentality which he gets against everyone but nadal.

the only time this year where someone pushed him and he pushed back, was the wimbledon final against nadal. cos he knew if he didn't nadal would CRUSH him. i just wish he got that fire for every match.

 

[shawn1122]

Blake outplayed Fed in the first set too.

 

[dmvprof]

For someone opposed to Hawkeye., Fed sure uses it a lot

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Give me a break, Federer got lazy, Blake has no bussiness being in a 4th set!!He battled but Fed choked!!!!

 

[dysonlu]

I predict Federer will win the 4th set quite easily. Federer was nonchalant and impatient to close the 3rd out.

(By the way, I hate this crowd - so many morons yelling during points)

 

[shawn1122]

i just wish he got that fire for every match.

If he dont need it, why does he have to have it.

 

[ubel]

This is why you end it when you have the chance. Crazy crap like this happens when you think you're in control, and just look at Federer's face.. looking a bit dazzled, a little confused.. This is Blake's opening to do as much damage as he can before Federer regains himself.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Fed is in a match now, he better start holding his serve, hey Skip, thats where i think Sampras has an edge when it comes to closing a match!!!!!

 

[tennisfreak]

I think his matches with Nadal shows that when someone actually challenges him... a rare occurence, Fed can go away.

 

[dmvprof]

woot woot.....

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Wow, Blake is taking it too Fed.

 

[skip1969]

i don't understand how you can boo when a player decides he wants to challenge a call. it just means he wants to make sure the call was correct. how can you boo that???

 

[shawn1122]

Has Blake ever lost a 5-set match after winning the fourth set?

 

[shawn1122]

The longer this match goes, the more it seems Federer was paid to prolong it.

 

[dmvprof]

BIG chance missed by Blake....2 break points gone

 

[jjk20]

Has Blake ever lost a 5-set match after winning the fourth set?

he's never won a 5 set match

 

[ACE of Hearts]

After seeing him tonight, if he escapes this match, there is no way he is winning the U.S Open, even against Roddick, but he is wasting tons of energy in this match!!!

 

[tennisfreak]

Fed's defense is insane...

 

[The Victor]

Oh no!! Is that...? Is that the breadstick racquet?!?!?!??

 

[tennisfreak]

After seeing him tonight, if he escapes this match, there is no way he is winning the U.S Open, even against Roddick, but he is wasting tons of energy in this match!!!

If he get's by Blake, he'll probably beat Roddick.

 

[shawn1122]

he's never won a 5 set match

That's why I said lost

 

[Objective Danny]

You can do it Blake! You can do it.

 

[skip1969]

Fed is in a match now, he better start holding his serve, hey Skip, thats where i think Sampras has an edge when it comes to closing a match!!!!!

yeah, it's that whole "take no prisoners" approach. martina was like that. graf. the women now are weak as all hell, but some of the old school girls were ruthless.

 

[dmvprof]

jees, fed is f'ing insane

 

[Tezuka Kunimitsu]

federer has stepped up is game...poor blake
