A very interesting match!
Will be a good test for Federer. Think Federer has this, he is ready.

 

[Feather]

Roger Federer in two sets!

 

[SpinDr.]

Tough second round. I agree that this is a good test for him. Will need to return well.

 

[johnnyb]

Can't wait to watch this match. Go Fed! Hope he wins in two.

 

[MarcusInKensington]

I smell an upset.... Lord Fedr to win in two sets.

 

[Zebrev]

Roger in 2, but it could be tight sets.

 

[deBroglie]

Federer in 2. M. Zverev does not have a powerful serve to get him free points. Federer will feast on the return. I think it will be an easy match for Federer, but we will see.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Last time they played on grass it was a double bagel for Fed. Roger also destroyed him at the AO this year. I can't see Fed losing this, especially since if he wins it, he will be guaranteed #3 or #4 seed for Wimbledon.

Go Fed !!!

Whom does the winner of this match have to face ?

Winner of Mayer - Pouille (likely to be Mayer who is up a break in the final set, last year's champion in Halle).

Mischa might grab a set, I bet he's not forgetting that double bagel he received at this very event. Should be an entertaining match.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Fed better be ready for this match. Zverev has been playing well lately

I am hoping for a 3rd seed at wimbly

The Eagle snatches the first set in the tie break. Ljubicic makes a happy face ( :-| )

Fed looking ok, but he might be in a spot of trouble if he faced a better baseliner. Mischa producing some fine S&V, but he should perhaps serve more often to Fed's backhand.

 

[donquijote]

Fed doesn't look calm and a bit disturbed by Mischa's style. Not showing a good form here.

 

[Gazelle]

Fed's return AWOL as usual on grass.

 

[donquijote]

Some very stupid serves from Mischa to Federer's forehand and he gets the punishment. Fed up 5-4 and serving for the match.

 

[Gazelle]

What round is this?

 

[donquijote]

2nd r

 

[junior74]

Nice match, quality grass players

 

[Steve0904]

I really enjoyed that match. Quality stuff from both.

 

[Sentinel]

Is there really a difference between 3rd and 4th ?

Is it true that more often that not, the 1st seed faces the 4rth ?
You'd rather he face Joker in a possible final, than Murray ?

How are you watching Halle ?

All the livestreams are saying "blocked by competent government authorities". I am seeing it on a russian site, very sharp but keeps buffering and freezing.

you're both Indian? no wonder I like both of you. You guys have a beautiful country

Well, 1 billion people, so there are all sorts. We have amazing biodiversity and ancient/medieval history, neither of which we seem to care much about and meanwhile our cities are getting more and more crowded and dirty. Apparently the price to be paid for development but hopefully there's a light at the end of the tunnel.

Nothing like that. Yeah there are lots of problems too in India. Things getting more bad with right wing politics getting stronger.

In my state though, our Left parties hold strong ground. Like the above poster lots of populationa and lots of mouths to feed. So challenging too. I must say i also loved reading your posts. These days you appear only during majors

So you are not living in Karnataka right now? Because Yedyurappa will make a comeback there, I am afraid. So much for non-corrupt governance. Anyway, that's a whole other discussion. You'd need an entire forum to discuss India's problems...

I know there are lots of challenges and problems too - of course. I have more a handful Indian friends and I've spend 4 months or so in the country. Not a lot, I know, but just enough to get somewhat of an idea

I am from Kerala. I live in Bangalore. In my opinion, Bangalore is the most beautiful city in India. never liked any city as much as this. It's cosmopolitan, secular and awesome weather too. Traffic sucks but you can't get everything..

Ah, yes, Kerala is quite safe from the right wing brigade...for now. Mumbai is also cosmopolitan and secular but the weather is nothing like Bangalore. Bangalore weather is beautiful, though my friends in Bangalore tells me it gets pretty hot in summer these days.

Bangalore lost it's old charm. It's hot now as in temperature goes beyond 37 C. Still compared to other Indian cities, Bangalore still has a better weather. But traffic is the worst there.
