Indian Wells - Semifinal #1 Dog vs. Master

[kskate2]

Master teaches Dog one of those lessons I mentioned earlier. Opener to Fed 6-3

Fed takes the first 6-3

 

[Murat B.]

I unfortunately can't see the match at the moment. Any updates will be greatly appreciated

It is windy and both players have more errors than winners, I am pretty sure. Roger's serve is clicking and he just closed out the first set with an ace. Dolgo is erratic. Roger more settled.

Does Federer look regal today?

Does Federer look regal today?

Not quite, but he has enough to win today

Darth, Robbie just said Davydenko and Murray are the other guys...

Davydenko must have been Doha 2010, I have no idea when Murray did it...

Actually it was 2009 YEC when Davydenko beat both and he did win that title too.

 

[DarthFed]

Dog really handed that break, Roger is serving really well but nothing else is too good, he is fairly consistent at least.

 

[shawnbm]

Roger's returns have improved of late--deeper with more pace

 

[Murat B.]

That's better Dolgo...just laugh it off. you cannot control the wind, so just play, have fun.

 

[shawnbm]

Nice flick BH cross court by Roger there

 

[Murat B.]

Roger's returns have improved of late--deeper with more pace

That last return to break was TMF.

 

[DarthFed]

Now THAT was a return!

 

[kskate2]

0-40 for Fed and he smacks a 2nd serve return. Master in full flight now. 1-0

 

[shawnbm]

That FH return has been missing for a few years.

Great!! I finally got the channel and he breaks in the first game of the second set.

 

[Front242]

Roger's serving really well.

 

[Murat B.]

Darth, Robbie just said Davydenko and Murray are the other guys...

Davydenko must have been Doha 2010, I have no idea when Murray did it...

I was actually in the stadium when it happened. Murray beat Rafa in the semis and Roger in the finals in Roger's Cup, 2010.

 

[DarthFed]

Roger is swinging more freely now. Dog has to stop the bleeding soon or this will be over quick

 

[shawnbm]

Wow! One rarely sees Fed float a slice BH that long.

 

[shawnbm]

Chip and charge by Roger a la Edberg.
