Becker has really aged a lot or he is not keeping a slim shape anymore.

Lapse from Murray now. This set will be over quick.

 

[Hs0022]

Deuce. Djoko hits a fh wide ad Murray.

 

[Hs0022]

Fault! Second serve! The slices are painful to watch. Murray hits long deuce.

 

[Hs0022]

Nice pass by Murray. A desperate Djoko at the net with wrong timing. Cool
Ad Murray.

 

[Hs0022]

The fh misfires into the net from Murray.
Deuce.

Nice half volley flick winner from the baseline. As Djoko. Game Djoko
4-1

 

[Hs0022]

6-7,7-6,1-4 Murray to serve. I am done, signing off.

 

[Hs0022]

Djoko serving first in the fourth. I think it's over for Murray.

So much pressure on Murray to hold serve here

Wrong! Serena is winning because her opponents can't put five shots in the court in a rally and she doesn't need the extra fitness to win those rallies because they don't exist. Also the only edge she has on her opponents is the serve. If she herself faced a similar serve she would fold like a cheap deck.

Fair enough. What do you think happened to Steffi here?

Do you think the 17 year old Serena needed extra fitness to shellack Steffi here?

 

[bksballer89]

And it's all over. 3 good sets and 1 bad set

 

[Hs0022]

What's going on with the Berdman? Down a set and a break already!

 

[Hs0022]

Wow Cilic on fire and makes probably his first SF appearance.

Since you are being pesky and bringing that match in every other post I will indulge your naive and cartoonish ignorance. At 17 Serena still hadn't filled out and weighed less than 150lbs and could run around like a rabbit with her young bones. Also she was an unknown factor and Graf hadn't played her before to get to know her weaknesses. The second time she played her she beat Serena. So beginners luck goes to Serena and the element of surprise.

But I do know that Graf took care of all the power players during her era incl Seles 10-5 h2h more than illustrates that fact. Now go run back to google search newbie clown.

fed vs monf about to begin.

 

[bksballer89]

will watch until the football game. Once the NFL game start, I will watch during commericals

 

[Hs0022]

monf seems unprepared. Not a good sign. I remember from league matches how that can affect one's performance. the commentators are talking about how Monf is unsure which racket to start with.

 

[Hs0022]

Fed looking sharp, races to a 40-0 lead. and the game. 1-0 Fed.

 

[bksballer89]

pretty windy

 

[bksballer89]

good hold
