FO Semi Djokovic v Federer

First topic message reminder :

I am not sure what's going to happen there but I hope the wind is finally going to stop ....for the sake of a high quality semi.

Discuss

Federer's use of the backhand slice has been stunning today.

I guess this proves that the subject isn't too "boring" for the Umpire?

More seriously, it's well overdue. What chance it being enforced more briadly, including *cough* a left-handed Spaniard?

Hitting aces for fun today...

I have to agree with you on that one. If it applies to one, it should apply to all.

Average 1st serve speed Federer: 197 k/ph!
Is he on a gluten free diet or what?

Joker is folding.

That 1st set is one of the best I've seen...Federer is doing the business here guys. I had a sneaking feeling he might win this before it started and now its getting more than 'sneaking'...I said if he can serve as well as I he can then its going to be tough for Nole and so it is!

The man's on fire!

We are all on a gluten free diet GP, aren't you?

I have been on the cucumber diet nowadays!

EuroSport comment: I think Joker is thinking, this is it for this year, I've played good enough, came to here and ended. Not a bad year,

Do i sense here the old Novak-if-federer-has-a-good-day-i-can't-beat-him-Djokovic?

Just like Nadal his face get softer when he starts to have doubts about the outcome..

Does this even constitute an article? Or is it another vehicle to trade insults?

When an important semi-final is taking place as we speak, I cannot believe this sort of stuff is even posted.

Yeah, he starts to laugh a bit more when he's losing it.

Yep, he's got that weird calm look when you know he's anything but!

Fed has definitely got him rattled.

Djoko is doing a Monfils here: making a big mess in of it order to drag the opponent down.
But Monfils is not doing it on purpose..

Stay focused Roj!!!

I have to agree with Wooffie on this one, maybe you should have posted this on the other thread about the match.....

C'mon, lets not clutter up the board with comments as articles.

Thread locked and will be merged.

Roger has much to prove... no one has been able to bring Djoko down in 40 plus matches... and so is it gonna be him..??. Make a double name for yourself Roger

last year,,nadal stopped him winning US
this year,,seems like federer is doing his job in RG on novak

pity novak

Djokovic looks utterly shocked out there. After that first set, I don't think he expected Roger to lift his game even higher. Never seen Fed so pumped since the AO Final 2010.

Are we going to get the Fed/Nadal final at last

2nd set Federer. I can't see him losing it from here.

7:5, 6:3.

Joker with arms up, looking defeated in his soul.

Fed looks like he has the upper hand.Can't see it going any other way now.

Federer has never been beaten from two sets up so Novak you better.........!

That would be something Haddie, but like we all know, you can't write off Novak, he's only got to find his game again, and it will turn around.

novak reaction during last game of 2nd set reminds me of his reaction during us open final last year

he is/was playing good,,but player across the net just playing out of the world stuffs

Fed has never lost a match in GS leading from 2 sets.

Just amazing how this match has unfolded. Should Federer win in straight sets I think will have a massive impact on the tennis season.

True Jubba but we are seeing an on fire Federer .. I havent seen him play like this since I cant remember when... Novak is going to have to go some to break his hold on this match.
I want to see a Fedal final.... please

Has Federer broken sweat yet ?

So if Nole wins this set they probably will stop playing for the night?

Go FED in 3!!

Doesn't look like it Jubba. I find it amazing how Federer has managed to up his performance when it matters. His serving and backhand/slice have been on the mark today.

Luck can only get you so far, as is the case with Nole, Federer has to much talent for Nole

I think that is below the belt sonic!!

though im still on my prediction

fed in 4

Not good sonic, the guy has been the class act of the season so far, handing both Fed and Nadal numerous defeats.

And his call on Feds serve at that crucial moment just moved him further up, for me.

I have said before about not posting derogatory names of players as it winds up other posters. Pack it in.

Djoko's collapse has dragged Fed's level down big time

Maybe just maybe??

Fed must win this set, otherwise tomorrow might be a different story.

Djoko has regrouped his thoughts and knows that if he takes this set he'll get fresh new start tomorrow.

This match is not over!

I started today wanting Djoko to win if Nadal won because I think Nadal will beat Fed, which I always find painful, especially a clay massacre, and I'd like to see a new No. 1.

But now Fed's doing so well against all expectations I'd love to see him through to another final although the chickens are refusing to be counted at the moment and a 4th set looks most likely.

BTW - absolutely disgraceful scheduling from RG, and not for the first time this week. For a slam SF to have the risk of going over into a second day in a slam which plays the first and middle sundays is pathetic. I couldn't believe it when they started at 2pm today.

fed is out of energy..

rest is needed

Wishful thinking. Expect a "rejuvenated" Federer to begin the 4th set.

4'th set 6:2 for Fed.

Ooohhh....this set could be a screamer !


Anyone for a tiebreaker ?

Come on Djoko

Point of the tournament in this rally!!

Awful game from Federer at 4-4 in the 4th set.

Yay BREEEAKKKKKKk !

We might have a 5th set yet
