[kskate2]

crowd is a little antsy

 

[kskate2]

4-3 Fed still up a break

 

[Front242]

Problem is, even if Roger miraculously wins this he's doing himself no favours regarding recovery at 33.

yea but this hasnt been a grinding match and its only took about 2 hours for 3 sets

True. He blew the 2nd set spectacularly quickly. I can still see him winning with a bit of luck but he has to really improve the focus A LOT.

 

[kskate2]

has to hold right here. if he gives the break back now he's toast in about 10 min

 

[kskate2]

[kskate2]

30-0

 

[kskate2]

3 SPs

 

[Front242]

Good stuff, Roger but why couldn't you have done that earlier? :nono

 

[kskate2]

Fed staves off defeat for one more set at least 6-4

 

[crystalfire]

so is monf ankle fine now or what

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Well, at least embarasment avoided!

Can he do it two more times.

Even though three sets are over, both players are fresh as not much time has elapsed.

So, I don't see this coming down to physical issues or attrition.

Better tennis player will win in the end.

 

[kskate2]

appears so

 

[kskate2]

Le Monf gets to serve first again.

 

[Front242]

so is monf ankle fine now or what

Seems there was never anything wrong with it for more than 10 seconds. His movement never looked any different.
