2015 US Open

[Warsaw]

What was with the shakes by Novak there?

 

[Charliebrow 16]

Completely lost his serve when it mattered. Becomes passive, Fed whacks one down the line and the set is over. Could call it before the match even started.

Mate, I wouldn't be too down. The longer this match goes, the bigger the advantage to Djokovic. Two champions competing - it was never going to be straight sets.

 

[Charliebrow 16]

Gifted Djokovic that game.

 

[bato]

Huge gift. Wouldn't put it past Novak to give it straight back.

 

[bato]

That chip return is so damn effective against Djoko's serve. Makes him play an awkward shot.

 

[Charliebrow 16]

That's what Federer needed. Break, easy service game, then apply the pressure straight back on Djokovic.

 

[bato]

SO DAMN ANNOYING. Bombing down aces like he's Isner. Ugh.

SO DAMN ANNOYING. Bombing down aces like he's Isner. Ugh.

 

[bato]

Oh dear...

 

[Marmik]

It's bullshit how a lot of players start grunting really loudly on pressure points but it doesn't happen on just regular points. It's not he is hitting the ball any harder.

 

[Charliebrow 16]

This match has everything right now. Loving it.

 

[OzBomber]

Kinda hating on the fact there was a 3 hour delay now. I've gotta leave for an interview in 45 minutes.

This deserves to be a 5 set epic

 

[bato]

Amazing tennis first few points of the service games, then it becomes a battle of who chokes less.

 

[Marmik]

This is going to kill Federer if he loses this set, he has played better all set with love service games and long deuce games with break points on djokovics serve.

 

[bato]

Going over some news pages on Facebook and people can't be more bored with tennis. Obviously not watching today's match.

 

[Marmik]

On break point Federer had two chances to come into the net and put Djokovic away as he was so far back in the court.

 

[Charliebrow 16]

Credit where it's due, Djokovic capitalized on that Federer lapse and made him pay.

 

[bato]

Djokovic seems to have loosened up.

 

[Charliebrow 16]

Stating the obvious, but Federer needs to somehow manufacture a break. Can't let this just continue in the same fashion.

 

[OzBomber]

Anyone hear that f bomb from Pat Cash last game?!

 

[Charliebrow 16]

What's that now, 3/18 break points? One of the only negatives of Federer's game.

 

[bato]

WOW!

 

[Marmik]

What's that now, 3/18 break points? One of the only negatives of Federer's game.

I couldn't agree more, especially in the latter half of his career. He sucks at converting break points.

 

[Pee Tear Griffin]

Huge gift. Wouldn't put it past Novak to give it straight back.

When will you learn to stop doubting Djokovic haha.

 

[Charliebrow 16]

Fight until the end, Fed!
