Rome 2019 3R: Fred vs Bore

[RF-18]

It's a bit disappointing this 2 matches in a day thing. Pretty sure that was the last thing fed wanted when he signed up for clay.

 

[Otacon]

Coric is playing very well.

 

[EasyGoing]

That “new BH” is really making a difference for “peak Clayerer”, right @Meles ?

 

[Nadal_Django]

Coric destroying Federer at the moment.

That's why he is tanking as a sign of protest

 

[AndyM]

Looks like the mighty fat is going down today I give him 0% chance of winning Rome

 

[mike danny]

Fraud, at least don't get bageled LOL.

 

[jklos]

Two matches in less than 6 hrs might be a bit too much for a guy pushing 38. Probably used a whole bottle of Lakota during the break.

 

[RF-18]

Should tank this set, and go for it in 2.

 

[Legend of Borg]

FAA > Coric

Coric > Fred

FAA is already greater than Fred

 

[chjtennis]

Clearly, those old legs Federer's look slow and weary. Will Coric bagel Fed?

 

[mike danny]

5 hours ago he looked like he should have played clay in 2017-2018.

Now he is looking like the guy who did well not to play clay in 2017-2018.

Fraud's form can change in a matter of hours, forget about days.

This is a reminder of what all majors used to be like - no roofs, changing schedules. I had barely finished watching the first match after I woke up, only a little behind, before the second match started. This is obviously going to hugely favor the young player who had rest. It's the double-edged sword of not playing until Wed. and then being scheduled every day, if nothing goes wrong. Sort of ruins the whole event for me and makes me just want to move on to RG, where things hopefully will be fairer.

 

[icedevil0289]

fed atleast win a game ,please. i know he's playing well but curse you coric

Still don't understand the stubbornness of several tournament organizers to build roofs.

 

[underground]

Boric moaning like a pornstar great now I need to mute this match too

 

[Otacon]

Gosh, it's so damn difficult to see the ball.

 

[mike danny]

Beating an old Fed represents the highlight of Bore's career.

Yea it has killed the event a bit for me this week.

 

[icedevil0289]

Gosh, it's so damn difficult to see the ball.

people hated it but blue clay made it easier to see teh ball, idc make everything blue.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Amazing that Coric loses routinely to complete mugs but always GOATs against Fed.

 

[icedevil0289]

when was the last time fed was bageled?

 

[Devilito]

At least Fed will never be a cringy as Boric

 

[mike danny]

Everyone GOATS against Fraud nowadays.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Many people loved it. It was the grinders and Nadal fans who hated it.

 

[EllieK]

2 matches in a day are tough for any player at any time. At 37 and against coric this will be a very tough ask for Fed. Hoping he can do it but thinking he will not.

 

[icedevil0289]

At least Fed will never be a cringy as Boric

wow that is something else

 

[I Am Finnish]

Boric moaning like a pornstar great now I need to mute this match too

 

[mike danny]

You and all Fed fans know when and that infamous time should not be mentioned again.

 

[DismalFuture]

You just can't bagel Federer

 

[I Am Finnish]

Amazing that Coric loses routinely to complete mugs but always GOATs against Fed.

Lol who doesnt

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

At least he avoids the bagel

 

[Red Rick]

You and all Fed fans know when and that infamous time should not be mentioned again.

Sooo

Not today?

 

[Otacon]

That was the idea, but Djokal were crying like little babies.

 

[mike danny]

Fedr avoids the bagel, will win RG.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Fraud, at least don't get bageled LOL.

What is a Federer fan using this stupid term in referring to him?

 

[TearTheRoofOff]

FED ON THE BOARD. Whack that bagel back in the oven.

 

[mike danny]

Sooo

Not today?

Thankfully.

 

[mike danny]

What is a Federer fan using this stupid term in referring to him?

A meaningless joke.

 

[chjtennis]

Finally on the board, but Federer looks slow. Without the speed, he cannot be attacking and he is playing very defensively now. I hope his body loosens up somewhat and feels better soon. Otherwise, cold and stiff Federer will be steamrolled by a young gun who didn't have to play earlier on today.

 

[icedevil0289]

You and all Fed fans know when and that infamous time should not be mentioned again.

lmao sorry. atleast he won a game so there is that. and hey if he is going to be bageled by anyone on clay, let it be rafa i guess.

 

[Thundergod]

No bagel at least. I wouldn't be able to stomach Fed getting his bageless streak broken by Coric of all people.

 

[TearTheRoofOff]

Thankfully.

Imagine it was Borna freaking Coric that delivered Fed's first bagel in 11 years.

 

[Feather]

What is a Federer fan using this stupid term in referring to him?

Seriously, I don't know how Roger fans can use that disgusting word to describe him

 

[BeatlesFan]

Coric is about as exciting as a piece of lint. Boring affect, boring game and incredibly annoying noises he makes on court. Just ewww...

 

[icedevil0289]

someone said that they felt he would win the first set and lose the match, does that mean he is winning in 3 now, or losing in 2.

 

[mike danny]

I hope the organizers are happy.

 

[underground]

It's the shadows, the difference between his movement and placement from this morning is like day and night, physicality can't be a part yet he only played 80-ish minutes before.

There's a reason his first name contains half of the word "boring".
