2014 Wimbledon Quarterfinals: Federer vs. Wawrinka

[isabelle]

I'll root for Stan, hope he can win in 4

 

[britbox]

Wawrinka was impressive against Lopez. Feli hardly got any purchase on Stan's serve until right at the death and Stan was volleying as well as I've seen him.

This is a tough assignment for Fed, make no bones about it.

 

[Murat B.]

Roger down a BP. Hasn't been broken yet but this the Stanimal he is playing...

 

[Murat B.]

Stan breaks. He is hitting the ball as cleanly as it can be hit...

 

[DarthFed]

The pressure mounts for Roger now that Murray fell. Rafa and Murray are the 2 players you'd definitely/might favor over him in a match. He loses to Stan here then I think it is end of the road and indicates there is no more good tennis left in him on the main stage.

 

[TsarMatt]

I think Stan is going to win this.

I mean, I wouldn't be surprised.

 

[Kieran]

This is where Roger might miss having a testy match earlier in the draw. Huge leap in game here. He's down 3-1, but he can be expected to find his range. It could be that this is the tough match that prepares him for the rest of it...

 

[Murat B.]

This is just nuts, the way Stan is hitting the backhand...

 

[DarthFed]

And off to a pathetic start...

 

[crystalfire]

This is feds one real chance to win wimby. With djokovic struggling.

 

[Murat B.]

And off to a pathetic start...

There is absolutely nothing pathetic here. If GOD existed, he would be a break down too...Stan is absolutely killing it out there.

 

[crystalfire]

Good thing I'm not watching

 

[Murat B.]

Stan misses a backhand...good.

 

[Murat B.]

Stan came down to earth. BP Roger.

 

[Murat B.]

Now THAT was pathetic. The pass was right there. Roger hits those shots with his eyes closed.

 

[Kieran]

The newer Stan is more clutch. He's got more confidence. That point saved on the bp was class..

 

[Murat B.]

One thing is clear. Roger has to shorten the points. Stan will hit those groundies all day and the power on both sides is overwhelming.

 

[TsarMatt]

Stan pointed to his head a lot in his R4 match.

He was doing that at this years' AO and he won that.

In other words, Stan da' Man is back in the zone.

 

[DarthFed]

Apparently Stan doesn't even need a 1st serve to hold easily all set, not good news for Roger.

Stan nabs the opener 6-3 w/ excellent grass court play
