US Open Day 5: Friday, August 29

[mrzz]

Some players (occasionally) look much better when playing the top guys.

I was worried about this 3x4 game... but Federer played very well.

Just noticed that both Dr. Ivo and Fog moved out of Fed's path into oblivion.

Yeah, very same as Gojo in that respect. Plays crap then against nobodies.

 

[Front242]

Barely an hour played and Roger's already serving for a 2 set lead. This is fast stuff. Refreshing.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

This guy used to be the bf and hubbby of one Jarmilla of WTA. He also used to coach her.
I remember the matches when she plays and this guys coaches. It is a night mare. Both
of them will start yelling at each other during the match and everything is on TV. No
wonder after some time they got divorced.

 

[Front242]

What a sweet point!

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

TMF, ladies and gentlemen...

 

[Front242]

TMF, ladies and gentlemen...

Exactly what Groth is saying 'cos he played a great point there too. That MF :snigger

 

[mrzz]

What a sweet point!

See? That lob wish is still working.

 

[Front242]

145mph!

 

[Front242]

No ball toss issues for once and great serve by Groth.

 

[Front242]

Eventhough he lost the point the sliding and little improvisation there by Roger to get that ball that clipped the top of the net back in play was brilliant.

 

[Front242]

Another super lob by Roger.

 

[Front242]

Good hold with some nice volleys by Groth.

 

[mrzz]

147 mph serve and Federer wins the point.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

It's just a matter of time Roger breaks Sam again and finish this. It almost happened in the 3rd game of the 3rd set but Groth served his way out.
What surprises me is Sam can't return most of Roger's serves. What's he doing here?

 

[Front242]

Whoa, nice! A long time since I've seen an inside out vintage FH like that from Roger.

 

[Front242]

This match will make a good highlight reel of gems from Roger.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Assuming Roger wins this, the Granola match will be so different from this one that it will feel like a different sport all together to Roger. Hopefully he will prepare well.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

147 MPH serve, that's all though!

OK, there's more, Sam breaks.
