He's about to play. He's not about to lose, though. He's just too good.

Silock · 01-19-2008, 12:01 AM

Yeah, I think it's because he knows he's too slow to get to most of them, so he gives up on ALL of them too quickly.

Man, just watching this Federer match, it's unreal how good he is. Every shot he makes somehow manages to make it's way in.

I have never seen him get rattled either.

I've seen him get rattled, but I've never seen him lose a match. I can't remember what match it was last year, but I remember him getting a little crazy at Wimbledon (or was it the US Open?).

It's like playing a computer on the ultimate highest difficulty. Beatable, in theory, but you're not going to do it more than once in your life.

You've never watched him lose in the French Open?

Quite a match going on right now. He finally broke Tipserovic to go up 9-8 here in the 5th set, looks like he's going to win.

I've never managed to catch a match where I've watched him lose. Of course I know that he's lost a match before

I'm just saying I've never watched it when it's happened.

Federer advances in a classic.

KC_Connection · 01-19-2008, 04:16 AM

Finally a winner in Federer, I've been sitting in the same spot for awhile.

Are you kidding me? CRAP!!!! I could have watched it and just figured he would roll.

Oh well. Guess it is better this way. I would just be mad that he won anyway.

Still no love for Federer?

The obligatory 4 AM Aussie time bump - the Hewitt match is still going.

I don't think there is a tiebreaker in the 5th set (only at the US Open).

HolmeZz · 01-23-2008, 03:09 AM

Federer v. Blake going on right now. It's in the first set, if anybody's interested.
