Melzer vs. Federer -- US Open 4th Rnd

[Love Game]

Melzer coach read a page off Del Potro match

that guy makes me laugh every time they show him ... he never, never, never has a different expression on his face!!! :lol:

 

[aceX]

Can Melzer at least force another tie break?

 

[Omega_7000]

sorry, gonna have to put ye on the ignore list now. If you have a problem with me trying to get to the bottom of odd online behavior then you might wish to ignore me as well. I deal with people who have abnormal psychological problems and the poster I was focusing on has some serious red flashing lights in that regard.

Yeah he/she has some issues alright...but I did the same thing. Put him/her on ignore. Now back to enjoying the match with his moronic posts blocked!

 

[fed_the_savior]

fed toying with him now

 

[OddJack]

Haha I know..he is like the statue of liberty

 

[flyinghippos101]

If Melzer doesn't break here, I'm almost 100% sure fed will find someway to break the next game.

Called it

Brainfartage from Melzer to lose his serve.

God, you people act like total a-holes and then say you're the ones being offended. I can do this awesome thing called just ignoring posts I don't want to respond to, without the immaturity of announcing whom I ignore, like I give a rat's ass. Now back to the game .

 

[MichaelNadal]

Melzer is so inconsistent.

 

[powerangle]

Hmmm...a "major" downside to Fed this match: getting broken too often in the first place, or playing several loose points in a handful of service games.

 

[fed_the_savior]

Facing Fed you might be a little inconsistent too. He was plenty consistent versus Ferrero. If he doesn't take chances, he has no chance.

 

[decades]

I'm glad TennisandMusic told us this would be inferior tennis... LOL!

Great stuff from both of them.

routine as it gets...

 

[Winky]

Well christ, it does appear that Fed's timing is pretty far off tonight.

 

[Omega_7000]

God, you people act like total a-holes and then say you're the ones being offended. I can do this awesome thing called just ignoring posts I don't want to respond to, without the immaturity of announcing whom I ignore, like I give a rat's ass. Now back to the game .

Well I was talking about Love Game and i was trying to advice him to put morons on his ignore list too...But here you are announcing you are offended like I give a rat's ass about you being offended! Now you go on my ignore list too & back to enjoying the game.

+1, he really needs to focus on consolidating breaks. Losing concentration

 

[Halba]

Fed is getting broken or close to getting broken too often.
Against Muelzer he could break right back but can he do the same against better players?

agreed. it is hard to assess fed on current form. djoker and nadal are the other 2 best players right now and he'll have to go through both(in pretty good form) to win it.

 

[kishnabe]

Well christ, it does appear that Fed's timing is pretty far off tonight.

It a plan not to show Rafa his true form at the the moment!

 

[fed_the_savior]

Well I was talking about Love Game and i was trying to advice him to put morons on his ignore list too...But here you are again showing you are offended like I give a rat's ass about you being offended! Now you go on my ignore list too & back to enjoying the game.

No, that's not what I said... anway..

 

[Telepatic]

Melzer wasted almost same amount of BP as Istomin did.

 

[Kwanfan]

break nowwwwwwwwwwwww!

 

[OddJack]

Common Rodge goddam it

 

[Tony48]

Melzer can't save his own BPs, or take the ones that Fed is gifting him

 

[Kwanfan]

Melzer is hopeless

 

[fed_the_savior]

"he's really so close and he can feel it... i feel so happy for this guy." — commentator

Lol, that's when you know it's over.

 

[OddJack]

Rodge not gonna afford give so many BP to bully. He needs more concentration than that

 

[powerangle]

+1, he really needs to focus on consolidating breaks. Losing concentration

Yeah, he has concentration lapses. Good thing he's excellent on saving breakpoints and can break Melzer easily, but it's something he needs to improve on and clean up for the matches to come.

 

[West Coast Ace]

Melzer is so inconsistent.

Because he's playing high risk and going for his shots. Better effort than a lot of the guys who play Fed/Rafa and just dish up their usual shots and get blown out. At least he's still mentally in it - a lot of guys would let themselves get steamrolled.

That's the idiot Tarango

 

[Winky]

Now I know--Jesus Christ!--why Meltzer is ranked 13. He's not getting blown out, that's for sure. Gotta say I didn't know much about the guy before now.

 

[Nadalfan89]

This is amazing. Rafa is going to eat this guy up if they meet in the finals. Fed better pick up his game or he can say hello to 15-7.

i agree.......

 

[Talker]

This isn't championship tennis from Roger.
I don't see how he can go all the way playing like this.

[zasr4325]

Yes, through out the years watching Rodge I have noticed that. In mili seconds of reaction time he get it straight to the ball kid. Tonight he tossed the ball to Melzer side ball kid and he only needed to reach out and grab it

There was one in the 09 Aussie open, where he hit it after a let serve; like a chipped squash shot straight to the kid. Even the commentators couldn't believe it.

 

[Tony48]

Fed ready to close this out.

 

[Bud]

Melzer hits a routine FH 8 feet wide

 

[Love Game]

melzer i respect you, man! you're still in it...still trying

... and he's already won 11 games!!!

 

[Outbeyond]

... and he's already won 11 games!!!

woohoo!!!! he beat all reasonable expectations!

 

[aceX]

And with this, Fed keeps his QF record going

 

[OddJack]

yes, I remember that one

 

[flyinghippos101]

Incredible defense by Fed, too bad he lost the rally though

 

[Tony48]

Melzer will break back and win in 5.

 

[powerangle]

Nice, Melzer had Fed running coast to coast there. Great point.

 

[Omega_7000]

This is amazing. Rafa is going to eat this guy up if they meet in the finals. Fed better pick up his game or he can say hello to 15-7.

Huh isn't Fed about to win this in straight sets? Are you watching the same match?

 

[Winky]

This isn't championship tennis from Roger.
I don't see how he can go all the way playing like this.

It isn't; he'll step it up don't worry

 

[TEnnisguy]

The crowd is so annoying. They need to know when to be quiet. Geez

 

[OddJack]

whos the guy sitting beside Annacone?

 

[abraxas21]

Not pretty from Federer.

I definitly thought Melzer could have taken a set but was a but unlucky and also didn't take care of his chances.

 

[powerangle]

Good, solid win from Fed tonight.

He ties Connors's record of 26 straight GS QF showings.

Nice way to finish!!

 

[flyinghippos101]

What a way to end a match
