Indian Wells - Semifinal #1 Dog vs. Master

[kskate2]

That short reply is not going to get it done Dog. 0-30

 

[shawnbm]

And the Dog urinates all over himself again with that overlooked FH and Roger is up 5-1.

 

[Murat B.]

Such smart play from Roger...and that's that.

Dog did well this week. Rafa, milos...he has nothing to be ashamed of. Keep playing your game, good things will happen.

Fed has 3 MP's

 

[shawnbm]

And that is it! Federer schooled little doggie but good today.

 

[kskate2]

Master teaches Dog old trick: You not ready for the big time yet son. :nono

 

[Front242]

Shame Dolgo didn't play better but what a week he's had till today. Fed's stats were great considering the wind.

 

[shawnbm]

Roger certainly looks "sharp", as Fowler said. He is moving well and hitting on the run very well.

[Murat B.]

Roger won %74 of his first serve points, but %80something of the second serve...interesting. He had a great first serve percentage, over %70, but looks like he did not really need it today. Still good for him.

 

[DarthFed]

Roger's kick in that wind was extra brutal to deal with and that might explain the % of 2nd serve points won. Dog was not getting many 1st or 2nd serves back in play and Roger really mixed it up well today. All around a really good 2nd set from Roger, the ROS and backhand got better as the match went on.

 

[kskate2]

Front and I were talking about him being the best wind player on WTA forum yesterday. He continues to prove he handles the conditions better than his opponents.

 

[shawnbm]

Yes, Roger often fares well in windy conditions perhaps because he can use the wind to move guys around with his slice FH.

Or...MP3's on his iPod?

Dog...one of a long list of victims not to even make it to the 60 minute mark...:lolz:

All he needs is Survivor "Eye of the tiger", LL Cool J "The greatest of all time" and Tina Turner "Simply the best"

 

[brokenshoelace]

Can't believe people actually thought Dog would beat Roger. Very difficult stylistic match-up.

Yes, long live The King!

Pipe dream...all the way.

Not sure anyone thought it, some people type what they hope will happen and add "I predict" or "I'm taking" before it.
