2011 Australian Open - Part 1

[Special Agent Utah]

Simon is running hot!

Come on Fed! Big hold right there.

 

[beez]

This is great stuff from Simon

 

[EBUS]

Went and played black ops when Federer was leading 2 sets to 0 and come back to see it in a 5th set, wtf is going on!?

 

[Dagger5]

Cmon Simon!! Send Fed Ex packing

 

[raff23]

C'mon Fed dont lose this. I want to see some more great games this open

why do ppl want fed to win? surely you have to be sick of him winning all the time, hes got nothing left to achieve in the game. When was the last time he got beat in an early round in a grand slam? long long time ago, it just doesnt happen to him at all. imo it would be good for tennis and would give federer something to think about which could make things much more interesting in the future.

 

[Lazarus]

Simon pulling winners out of his arse. Playing brilliantly, however I don't want him to win because it's Fed.

I don't know if it's just me, but it seems like Federer isn't getting his forehands deep enough, hence alot of unforced errors into the net.

100 % agree

Only played in 1 final last year. I am sure he did plenty of thinking in 2010

Who's staying up for late night Henri?

 

[OzBomber]

Federer isn't being allowed to dictate the points, even on his own serve.

 

[matt_897]

Another late night it seems, cmon organisers, isn't it time we had men's only night sessions, chuck the Women on Hisense at 7.30 on Fox.

11.30 isn't late. Past your bedtime, Bernard?

 

[ronnie1234]

f*** me Henri is hilarious

might stay up for his commentary this time, missed out on the tsonga match last night

Highly doubt it, because even thought it's late for us, this is a great time in Europe. Middle of the day, 2nd best to prime time.

Federer needs to break soon. For some reason I don't like his chances if it's even later in the set, don't know why.

the guy has won 16 grand slams, 1 off year isnt going to a whole lot the man's psych, he still made at least the qtrs of each major. He hasnt experienced an early rd loss at a grand slam since i believe 03, thats just ridiculous. Something different occuring such as an early loss could force him to re think things.

 

[damochandler]

someone tell me. i am missing something. gilles simon. he doesn't have an E in his last name does he. geez courier is terrible

Laconte isn't that funny any more

 

[Dagger5]

Shit he has broken Simon.

 

[red+black]

Who's this Simone guy they keep referring to?

lol re think things? What did Fed do steal your girlfriend?

 

[Special Agent Utah]

Federer was pumped after that break.

2 more games

 

[Eth]

Come on Simon...

 

[mattys123]

Now there's the Fed we all know and love, everyone has a 5 setter on the way to the final, well just about everyone, and for the first time ever, Fed is going to beat Simon, that's an achievement in itself.

03 at Roland in the 3rd round.

But that's the thing Quarter Final losses are early exits for Fed and last year was a very tough year for him in comparison, There is no doubt he would have been re thinking strategies while he was in that slump.

Should get the job done now regardless.
