Wimbledon 2019 SF: Roger Federer [2] vs Rafael Nadal [3]

[Sabrina]

Yeah so basically set 2 was wrapped for Nadal.

 

[VaporDude95]

This match is all on Federer’s racquet and hinges on how he plays, as has been demonstrated.

Just awful this set

 

[Ray Mercer]

Federer looks terrible. He can’t rally at all without a shank.

 

[GFoederer]

What in the actual ****

 

[mightyrick]

Jeez, some of the posts in this thread. You Fed-Fanboys are his worse critics, I swear. Okay, so he couldn't hold his level. He's almost 38. It has to be more mentally and physically exhausting to be red-lined all the time. He took the first set. This is still a match. If he can manage his energy and his level, he still has a good chance.

Christ, I swear sometimes I'm watching a totally different match than some people.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

He has had this problem since he was 28.

I don’t wanna hear it. The guy’s a mental midget against nadal.

 

[tennisjedi]

ombeeleebel basura.

 

[Mark-Touch]

Oh CRAP!
Not another one of these roller coaster rides of momentum shifts and heart failures!

 

[metsman]

Fed having trouble getting the serve by people this whole tournament. Really costing him this set.

 

[Third Serve]

Oh, come on.

 

[The Green Mile]

A bread stick on grass, wow.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Fraud is tanking this set

 

[alex527]

Reset, old(est) man, reset!!

 

[Dilexson]

May be he wants to serve 1st next. Lol

 

[LoboR1]

wow...never seen Roger shank like this

 

[Tennisgods]

was he not old at 35

Yep, and two and a half years on he’s even feckin older...

 

[TheIntrovert]

Fed using the Kyrgios tactic. Win set. Tank the next. Then come back for the third

 

[NatF]

Lol wtf Federer this is poor.

 

[StrongerThanAll]

disgusting.

 

[Djokovic2011]

Wow, Federer's fallen apart over the last twenty minutes.

 

[VaporDude95]

Seriously? The SABR?

 

[Breakpointerer]

Horrible

 

[Daniel Andrade]

Phew, ok, it appears we're getting a BO3 grass match now.

 

[Terenigma]

Sabr failed.

 

[imageFAM]

if nadal had taken the 1st set, it would have been all over by now. not sure i can say the same about fed.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Sabr ?

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Rafa looking good to win it now but maybe feds saving himself for set 3!

 

[onyxrose81]

He has had this problem since he was 28.

28, 37...tomato, to-mahto.

 

[Deon Sanders]

Tank city

 

[icedevil0289]

okay what just happened, fed about to get a breadstick, he didnt even get on at rg. jfc is nadal playing that well?

 

[tennisaddict]

In a way, a 6-1 set better than 6-3 for Fed. He can conserve energy.

Now make set 3 a war. Otherwise match will be over in the next hour

 

[flyingboris]

Federer cleverly electing to serve in set 3

 

[The Green Mile]

Throwaway set here, SABR confirming it

 

[ACE of Hearts]

You can say he’s old or whateva but nadal owns him.

 

[Eren]

Flashes of last years SF.

Djokovic won 1st set, then had break points early but Nadal saved them and he was back Into it when he looked to be in huge trouble.

This match has that exact turn now.

Except that Djokovic actually had a chance and Federer... well lol

 

[Tenacity]

Don’t mind the delusional Djokovic people. He’s struggled serving (Bc he doesn’t have a strong serve as I’ve said his entire career) this whole tournament.

Instead of rooting and supporting your boy Fed, you are here bashing Djokovic. Pathetic lol

 

[TearTheRoofOff]

Glad I only caught the first set. As far as I'm concerned this match was a best of 1 and Roger won... *Sticks fingers in ears*.

 

[Azure]

Omg what is fed playing?

 

[abmk]

well, fed had to have a significant dip at some time in the match. Atleast it didn't come in the 1st set.
time to regroup in the 3rd set.

 

[Ajosin]

Nadal not happy about the TB, may exact revenge with bakery products.

 

[SonicNirvana]

6 errors to 20 in favor of nadal.

 

[-NN-]

This is a truly atrocious level from Roger right now. Nadal having to do almost nothing.

And guess what, despite that he'll be level at 1-1.

So who knows.

 

[icedevil0289]

he;s got 20 ufe to nadal's 6

 

[VaporDude95]

Wow that was awful

 

[kishnabe]

Like 2017 AO, Federer has to vary his serve...

 

[TheIntrovert]

What a ****show if a set

 

[upchuck]

Nadal has literally done nothing better in this set than the first but he's just won it 6-1.

 

[Breakpointerer]

Seriously? The SABR?

What else is left

 

[Tennis sensation]

Second set 6-1 Nadal

 

[Fed881981]

Absolutely nothing working for Fed in Set #2.

One difference between Nadal and Fed: Nadal wins the first set, and the first thing that he thinks about "let's win the second set". Fed wins the second set, and the first thing that he thinks about "I won a set".

Time after time after time!
