[kishnabe]

Roger playing with intenr on Rafa!

 

[thejoe]

Roger stepping up and showing his stuff. Rafa doing nothing at all. Moonballing with no pace.

And Rafa finally actually hits something.

 

[Outbeyond]

lovely forehand by rafa!

 

[Bud]

These rallies are fun. Unusual shotmaking.

101 mph FH from Rafito!

 

[Z3kk]

Wow both of them are starting to turn it up

 

[LameTennisPlayer]

[Legend of Borg]

That forehand was teh LULZ.

 

[Parashakti]

that was such a nice point by federer with the backhand in the end

 

[chrischris]

Great tennis now!

 

[Bud]

3-3 all even

 

[PureAlph4]

I back **** next time odds hit 2.7.

 

[Legend of Borg]

Good stuff so far.

Wish Rog would actually return the ball on Hafa's serve.

Oh, well.

 

[TheTruth]

I thought Novak was poor today against Federer. There were a few lapses in the beginning of the second set he could have really taken advantage of but he didn't and Fed composed himself and took the match easily. I actually don't think Roger has been tested all that much in this tourney, Ferrer and Soderling were hardly a challenge, Murray played the worst he's played in a while against him and tonight Novak was a pale shadow of himself, making U/Es all over the place. Not saying Fed hasn't played well but his opponents have made it rather easy for him to look great in my opinion.

And all this talk about Rafa looking gassed and tired; are people forgetting this is the same guy that played and won against Roger after his utterly devastating match against Verdasco in Australia last year? He recovered from that, he can absolutely recover from the match against Murray.

This whole post is true.

 

[thejoe]

Great backhand from Rafa.

 

[Bud]

Wow.. what a BH from Rafa

 

[JediMindTrick]

[flyinghippos101]

Nice game from fed to dig out of. Rafa waking up perhaps? Atleast he's finally on the board with the winners count

 

[s_andrean]

Nadal seems a bit slower today... I thought he would've got that last ball on the last point of the federer serve...

 

[FedEx23]

nice hold right there. roger can't afford to go down 0-30 in each game.

[Bud]

Pretty decent quality match so far

 

[kishnabe]

Every game is killer...scary who breaks first!

 

[chrischris]

GREAT hold form rog from being 0-30 down .. awesomely awesome!

 

[Tchocky]

Has Roger hit a slice yet? He's very aggressive with the backhand today...no?

 

[LameTennisPlayer]

more volleys = awesome

 

[MichaelNadal]

Good hold from TMF there

 

[Legend of Borg]

Every game is killer...scary who breaks first!

My money's on Hafa.

And Hafa is on my money.

 

[JoelDali]

LOLSULZ

Not really.

 

[Bud]

I don't think he's hit a slice yet.

 

[Greg]

So far this match is living up to my (high) expectations.

Also, I'm not sure why Drysdale brought up McEnroe when talking about textbook volleyers. I was honestly offended.

 

[jmverdugo]

Has Roger hit a slice yet? He's very aggressive with the backhand today...no?

No he hasn't hit one yet, pretty amazing, I think he came into the court with that in mind...

 

[LameTennisPlayer]

a couple of crosscourt backhand slices iirc
