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

[ACE of Hearts]

The winner of this set might have complete control.

 

[Tennisgods]

Rafa dismantling Fedr's game right now

Fedr dismantling Fedr’s game right now.

 

[AceSalvo]

I still can't believe how Fed couldn't get one of those 2 BP's after being a set up. But hey thats trademark Fed.

 

[abmk]

It will be very difficult to bounce back fro this. Not because of one sided set. It looks like he has forgotten how to play Tennis.

he hasn't. it was just a bad dip.

just held at love now.

 

[Breakpointerer]

Get it together ffs

 

[heninfan99]

anything interesting on tv?

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Feds regrouped well on serve. This is a huge set for fed! He has to win it or it’s over I feel! Rafa favourite now!

 

[Terenigma]

6-1 set for Nadal against Federer AT Wimbledon ? Stats people. When was the last time someone won a 6-1 set against Roger at Wimby ?

It wasn't "Wimbledon" but it was the same court at the Olympics when Murray beat him 6-2 6-1 6-4

 

[NatF]

Lol Nadal returning from deeper on the second serve that set. Joke that this sort of play gets rewarded on grass...

 

[D.Nalby12]

The victor in this match is possibly heading to a slaughterhouse

True!

 

[icedevil0289]

so i was hoping it was 6-1 fed, but turned out it was 6-1 nadal. also fed did breadstick nadal at rg once in 2006, that also shocking

 

[jm1980]

Over or under 10.5 break points wasted by Fed in this match?

 

[crocon]

2nd serve dropshot would be hilarious

 

[mightyrick]

6-1? WTF happened?

Federer dropped his level, Nadal pounced on it and got the break. Then Federer took a much needed mental break so he could re-group for the third set.

I actually think Federer managed that second set extremely well.

 

[Deon Sanders]

Ned with the assist

 

[Ajosin]

LOL

More like Fed dismantling himself.

A "horrible on grass" player just gave Fed a bakery product in a Wimbledon SF. I'm sure that your convictions hold as strong as ever though.
Your mind must be an interesting place.

 

[heninfan99]

12 games to 9

 

[Robert Baratheon]

6-1? WTF happened?

Fraud hapned no?

 

[JimJones]

No more anger left in Fed these days. Just looks of resignation when he's losing.

 

[Jokervich]

Novak Djokovic sitting on the couch and watching this match - almost died LAUGHING.

He must be rubbing his hands in glee and can't wait to deliver the beatdown on Sunday.

He will deliver a beatdown to Federer, but Nadal might be a little tougher. Still expect a comfortable victory even against Nadal though.

 

[MeatTornado]

ESPN keeps talking about how Fed will react to "his worst set ever at Wim"

I guarantee he had no idea he's never been bageled here.

 

[MichaelNadal]

Lol Nadal returning from deeper on the second serve that set. Joke that this sort of play gets rewarded on grass...

Be nice

 

[Omega_7000]

Why didn't Nadal take a bathroom break after set 2? Because he won it.....What a scumbag!

 

[icedevil0289]

Lol Nadal returning from deeper on the second serve that set. Joke that this sort of play gets rewarded on grass...

but omg we want to do away with one dimensional game according to that one ITF tech person or w/e

 

[tudwell]

It's Fed's fault for letting it happen. But how many times do we see someone have all the momentum and Nadal makes them wait, and the match turns around.

I don’t have enough fingers or toes or strands of hair to count the occasions.

 

[MeatTornado]

No more anger left in Fed these days. Just looks of resignation when he's losing.

Depends who he's playing.

 

[MichaelNadal]

Why didn't Nadal take a bathroom break after set 2? Because he won it.....What a scumbag!

Or bc he peed already.

 

[Deon Sanders]

Okay

The total derp has rolled into the third set.

Doom

 

[merwy]

What the hell??? That bh was our by 3 metres!!

 

[AceSalvo]

Fed is unnecessarily playing long rallies. Just go for the kill. Its an UE anyways.

 

[VaporDude95]

A "horrible on grass" player just gave Fed a bakery product in a Wimbledon SF. I'm sure that your convictions hold as strong as ever though.

Federer gave himself that bakery product.

Sit down.

I actually think Federer managed that second set extremely well.

I don't know about the second part. ESPN said that's the first time Federer's been bread sticked at Wimbledon. He must have played bad though to lose a set like that on grass.

 

[Nadal_Django]

The NEO-BACKHAND still not working today.

 

[Tennis sensation]

Nadal holds
1-1

 

[-NN-]

Fed's clueless the moment the rally gets extended right now.

 

[Omega_7000]

Federer should have taken a bathroom break after set 2!

 

[Sabrina]

Set 3 will be a dogfight. Nadal needs to win a war of attrition IMO.

 

[Ray Mercer]

Federer’s got to start pulling the trigger on the forehand. He’s letting Nadal get away with that loopy crap against his backhand.

 

[NatF]

Be nice

I am being nice lol. Nadal is doing what he's got to do, it's not his fault the conditions are the way they are. Just a bit frustrating is all

 

[I Am Finnish]

anything interesting on tv?

Fedal sf

 

[mightyrick]

Excellent serving from Nadal. I think this is the best he has served all tournament (and he's served great the entire tournament).

 

[Nostradamus]

Roger is very very tired now. this is only matter of time

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Set 3 will be a dogfight. Nadal needs to win a war of attrition IMO.

I agree this set is the match right here!

 

[stringertom]

Or bc he peed already.

I don’t have to sit down for a minute after I urinate.

 

[Lozo1016]

Yeah, Tomas Berdych is the only person to score a 6-1 set over Roger at Wimbledon...before today.

 

[I Am Finnish]

First time that Fedr being breadsticked on grass?

 

[AceSalvo]

So where was this serving in the 2nd set, Roger????

 

[N01E]

Lol at Nadal return position. M8 you want AO final again?

 

[Tennis sensation]

Federer holds

2-1

 

[Azure]

Is the crowd playing any role at all? Seems a bit subdued to me.
