[Murat B.]

Nice forehand dtl wins it for Roger.
Officiating has to improve here.

 

[kskate2]

Bad call again...that serve was out.

I see that on the replay. It was way out. Why didn't Kohls challenge it? Anyway, Fed wins the 2nd MP and takes the match 6-3 7-6

 

[Moxie]

Fed through! Well, I'm sure he didn't want to go 3. I agree with Darth that he did seem stiff in the back.

 

[Murat B.]

Well, Roger will take it...there were some vintage moments, mostly average stuff from Roger.

Going back to the old stick probably feels like hooking up with an ex girlfriend for a one night stand where there are no surprises and everyone knows what to expect.

 

[rafanoy1992]

No call from the line judges or Layhani but I'm surprised Kohlschreiber did not challenge it.

Anyways, Federer is through and will now face Tommy Haas in the 3rd round on Thursday. Great first set from Federer but a horrible 2nd set. I think he had 20 unforced errors in the second set. He needs to clean up a little bit to advance deep in the tournament.

Oops! I apologized, Haas still hasn't completed his 2nd round match. He will face Granollers tomorrow and the winner of the match will face Federer on Thursday.

 

[kskate2]

Oh no. Not Layhani again.

 

[DarthFed]

Murat, he was using the old racquet?

 

[kskate2]

yes
