Madrid 2015 Masters

3-3 at the changeover.

All these 3 set matches on center court today. Funny, only Nadal kept his to straights. :eyepop

Nothing funny about it. The guy is fairly useful on clay.

Got to wonder if a long match like this will take its toll on the old fogey...

That's what I said last week when he played in Instanbul, but I was quickly rebutted by a few people who stated it was good for him to win these exaggerated close matches.

Got to hand it to him, "age shall not wither him", etc. :s

Nick's bro is in the stand muttering darkly: "Yo bro! Federer's a hater, yo!"

Smart point by Fed to get to 5-4

 

[Kieran]

Good stuff by Federer, firm and steady... :clap

What a drop to get to MP! Gave it right back with an UFE on the forehand! Like I said, today's players just don't know how to finish! They need a gift from the elite! Roger's trying to give it to him! lol!

 

[kskate2]

saved again

 

[tented]

What a thriller! MPs saved by both, now 9-9 at yet another changeover.
