Federer vs Del Potro - 2012 Olympics semi-finals

[Cesc Fabregas]

Delpo is hitting the cover off the ball.

 

[Ronaldo]

Fedex looks like Swiss cheese, smells bad too, going down.

 

[ZeroSkid]

FEd gets lucky with tape, damn!

 

[Feather]

Delpo moving really well on the grass.

Who started serving? First set over?

 

[ZeroSkid]

Delpo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Kunohara]

Yes delpo won first set 6-3. Roger serves first in the second.

 

[Tennis_Hands]

Federer's inside-out FH are not precise enough and put him in awkward position. DelPo is flying.

1-0 Federer

 

[Service Ace]

Delpo moving really well on the grass.

Grass is soft on those long legs.

 

[PrinceMoron]

In front in the second, finished with a flourish by RF

 

[Service Ace]

Sweet one-hander by Federer

 

[nadal2012uso2013ao]

No complaints so far, good match.

 

[Service Ace]

Another sweet one-hander by Federer lol

 

[ZeroSkid]

nice serve Delpo

 

[jaggy]

Team Switzerland pushing for the break

 

[FedEx23]

I will be SO sad if Federer loses today.

 

[Feather]

Hope he will come back

 

[ZeroSkid]

beast serve again!

 

[ZeroSkid]

why would delpo do that, why

 

[Deleted member 3771]

delpo going off the boil

 

[ZeroSkid]

yes good job federer lol

 

[PrinceMoron]

JMdP needs a darker shirt, sweat is beginning to soak thru.

 

[Deleted member 3771]

great serve

 

[Tennis_Hands]

WOW. *******s and Samprastards crawling out of the woodwork.

 

[ZeroSkid]

yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Ico]

Roger is afraid to hit winners on the big points. Not going to cut it.

 

[PrinceMoron]

Little cagey there from RF

 

[DragonBlaze]

What a waste of a game, especially that last BP.

 

[jaggy]

Team Argentina looking good, US Open could be interesting

 

[Deleted member 3771]

nice hold. Fed needs top go for more and not just bunt the ball back.

 

[ZeroSkid]

Federer in 2: 6-4,6-4

nice prediction rofl

 

[tudwell]

Whoa! Just woke up. Not what I expected. Very glad to see Delpo playing this way, though. Hope he can keep it up after the Olympics, regardless of whether he wins or loses this match.

 

[Feather]

WOW. *******s and Samprastards crawling out of the woodwork.

Yeah, they have been waiting all their life for this moment

 

[Feather]

Roger got break points in second set also?

 

[Service Ace]

Federer is feeling it...

 

[PrinceMoron]

JMdP never gets started with those big serves down the middle, just watches it sail by.

 

[DragonBlaze]

Meh good hold at least.

 

[Russeljones]

So many empty seats still, it's crazy!

 

[kalyan4fedever]

LOL@ nadal fans who are crawling out of their holes only wishing for federer to lose and their favourite player is not even playing! what should we call this ?

 

[DragonBlaze]

Roger got break points in second set also?

Yup, and on one BP he had a good chance to make something of it, but too passive and then screwed up on the slice :|

 

[bezs]

Hope Rogi pulls this one off

 

[Feather]

Sad, I would be very disappointed if he loses this match

 

[kevin_95]

I like Del Potro, so a Federer loss wouldn't be the end of the world.

 

[ZeroSkid]

vamos Delpo.............

 

[ZeroSkid]

Yup, and on one BP he had a good chance to make something of it, but too passive and then screwed up on the slice :|

Delpo also missed a lot of opportunities, it could have been 6-2, delpo might break here though:twisted:

 

[hedera]

To beat Delpo these days it just takes something to **** him off, a little thing that doesn't go his way and his game falls apart, he doesn't choke but it's as if he's being spiteful and can't be bothered anymore. I hope this happens today.

 

[Deleted member 3771]

brilliant ping pong point from delpo

 

[nadal2012uso2013ao]

Hope Rogi pulls this one off

It would be comical if he didn't. The number one seed in 3 straight Olympics....

no, Fed will lose

 

[PrinceMoron]

Should have a thread limited to countries with players still in the competition. Beginning to think there should be no points involved, just medals and honour of representing your country.

 

[ZeroSkid]

wow, that forehand was crazy!
