Indian Wells Masters 2019 R3 :- Federer v/s Wawrinka

[denoted]

I'm still amazed that Wawrinka won against Fuscovics, who was pulverizing the ball.

 

[tennisenthusiast]

Stanererer in 3.

 

[Nadal_Django]

Wawrinka in 2 I'm afraid

Wawrinka won't win more than 7-8 games today.

 

[AndyM]

Stan has mental issues when it comes to fed too much respect for him

 

[Harry_Wild]

RF had a very solid performance and will get easy win over Stan in 2!

Match of the tournament so far surely..
Fed came of a tricky 6-1 7-5 match in 2nd round, whereas wawrinka survived a scare against Martin fuscovics 6-4 6-7 7-5....

Their last match on HC
2018 Cincinnati masters QF :- fed def. wawa 6-7 7-6 6-2.....
Btw, Last match at IW was a tight affair though roger won in straights 6-4 7-5...
H2H is 21-3 federer
Hard court h2h 16-0 federer

What are your predictions friends?

I’m thinking Stan for the win. Fed looks vulnerable and i’m thinking surely Stan can win once in 17 hardcourt matches. Surely!

 

[Bukmeikara]

Stan hasnt beaten Fed outside clay.
Stan is coming after two back to back thrilers.
Djokovic is out of the draw which would mean that Fed could be 2-3% more focused than usual.

Its hardly to see beyond Roger unless Stan comes out heavy hitting.

 

[BGod]

I gots my ticket

Fed in 3. 7-6, 4-6, 7-5.

 

[tennisaddict]

I think this will go 3 sets with Fed winning the 3rd comfortably

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

3-set win for Federer. Hoping for a smashing match!

 

[FRV]

Fed in 2. Just bought another RF97 so I will be disappointed if I see my racket on the losing end of things.

 

[underground]

FFS 1 hour set for 6-4, this isn’t Rafa how is this taking so long

 

[stringertom]

You know this will go three and all the way to a TB.

 

[Mainad]

When are they due on?

Now-ish, right?

 

[Boom-Boom]

Warming up

 

[Fedeonic]

Good opening game for Roger.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Feder

 

[flyingboris]

Roger aiming for the lines.. of the doubles alley

 

[icedevil0289]

if stan is going to beat fed on hc, this is about the best time do it given the court conditions

 

[flyingboris]

Man, what a night of tennis. I'm also looking forward to Sabalenka Kerber. Thanks tennis gods!

 

[FRV]

Stan definitely looks like he has nerves

 

[Fedeonic]

37 1/2 yo and still doesn't lose 1 meter from the baseline...

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Do you ever believe in Fred to win lol

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Break Pointerer has entered the chat

His play is a thing of beauty. I never realized how much more beautiful his style is than everyone else's until I started watching all the matches. And better yet, he's always the scary one on the court (except when playing really big servers)

This is subjective of course

 

[icedevil0289]

Do you ever believe in Fred to win lol

lol i get out most of my angst here while silently hoping during all his matches. but that is what one of the commentators was saying that this is about as good as a chance as stan has given the conditions, but idk if that means i think stan will win.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Federer gonna bring the treats.

Fed should be okay. I expect drama though as we usually get with Stan Fed matches

 

[Steve0904]

I like how Federer looks so far honestly. He lost a few BPs, but what would a Federer match be without that anyway?

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Don't you dare make me smash more than once boy.

 

[tennisaddict]

Fed should have grabbed at least one of the 3 BP

 

[Poisoned Slice]

This will go next level.

 

[Fedeonic]

First time ever I see Wawrinka's shots lacking pace.

 

[Steve0904]

Fed should have grabbed at least one of the 3 BP

Well he shouldn't have missed the 2nd serve return for sure. But he has 3 more now.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Fred breaks

 

[Steve0904]

There we go. Charitable Swiss man!

 

[tennisaddict]

What a sloppy game from Stan. I did not see this coming

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Neo in da house. na na Neo in da house.

Nah, not really. Stan was slugworth.

 

[icedevil0289]

consolidate my man

 

[AceSalvo]

Sloppy ball bashing from Stan. Need a little bit of restrain. He can come back though.

 

[tennisaddict]

Beautiful serve game this

 

[Poisoned Slice]

The sloppy game you just can't have against a Federer.

 

[Pheasant]

Nice serving, Fed!

 

[tennisaddict]

Sloppy ball bashing from Stan. Need a little bit of restrain. He can come back though.

Cannot see him break Fed with this level. He will fight in set 2 though. It is big mountain to climb for Stan at this time. His best chance was to win set 1

 

[Krish0608]

What a joy it is to see Fed exploding off that FH. Looking super sharp so far.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

a proud firm service hold. `

 

[underground]

Fed still holding his own with the ground strokes, nice and aggressive, good signs.
