Pretty entertaining game right now.

Neither player is giving in. Baghdatis want this 2nd set and Dimitrov is trying to get back on serve

 

[bksballer89]

3rd set to Marcos

 

[cezero]

zero sign of baghs getting tired as of now

huge pressure on dimitrov

this would be a huge loss for the youngster

 

[bksballer89]

Looks like we're heading for a 5th

 

[cezero]

took a little longer than i thought, but dimitrov is starting to just run baghdatis back and forth.

i'm not counting marcos out yet, but i still get a little pissed that he's never put the hard work in off the court. if he had, he would have been a perennial top 10 player.

Fed drops the opening set again

 

[bksballer89]

That break had to hurt Seppi.

Was up a break serving for the set and Fed won the lucky point to get the break.

Unreal

 

[bksballer89]

Huge trouble for Fed now.

Down 2 sets to none

 

[Smart]

Fed can break Seppi fairly easily. Seppi's only hope is that Fed will continue to struggle with the 2nd serve.

 

[Hs0022]

Fed needs to find another gear now or rally patiently.

 

[Hs0022]

Seppi can fade but Fed needs to step it up or he may lose a close one.

 

[bksballer89]

Even if fed wins this isn't helping his chance to make a deep run. These early rounds are supposed to be your straight sets or at max 4 set wins. If Fed wins it will mean he played 9 out of 10 possible sets while Murray (in the same quarter as Fed) only played 6 out of 10 if he finishes off his opponent in the 3rd today

 

[Hs0022]

Even if he makes it to QF Murray will kill him because Murray knows how to beat Fed and has a good form now.

As I was saying about a week ago, Federer is vulnerable on hard courts, and has been for a long time now.

There' a reason he hasn't gotten a sniff at a hard court major final in almost 5 years.

It'll get less and less surprising to see him go out to players outside the top 20 at majors on the surface.

I'm a huge Fed fan, and it doesn't make me sad to see this. It's just the way things go.

 

[Hs0022]

ok, lets go home and rest.

 

[bksballer89]

Murray draw just opened up. Gotta think the winner of he & dimitrov should make the semis

 

[cezero]

Even if he makes it to QF Murray will kill him because Murray knows how to beat Fed and has a good form now.

Fed hasn't beaten Murray, Nole, or Nadal in any round at a hard court major in almost 5 years.

Fed can break Seppi fairly easily. Seppi's only hope is that Fed will continue to struggle with the 2nd serve.

Hmmm. Some prediction, I suppose. Let the excuses begin.

 

[Liberal Icon]

ok, lets go home and rest.

That is a good advise.
