AUSTRALIAN OPEN, Melbourne, ATP GRAND SLAM

I know went out on a limb picking Wozniaki in the women's draw but felt a bit safer picking Murray. Exciting stuff though.

Yeah Roger isn't playing well but even if he was he'd be in trouble. Kei isn't missing and is all over his serve. I like that Roger is being ultra aggressive, just don't like all the misses on the forehand

 

[DarthFed]

Only good thing about a blowout first set is Roger hasn't had to use up a lot of energy.

He looks like he's settling down...

 

[DarthFed]

We need Kei to come to net more for gifts like that similar to Zverev donating to Nadal last night.

 

[DarthFed]

Well Roger has made things a lot tighter. Definitely finding his serve now.

 

[DarthFed]

Roger getting robbed by these blind idiots

 

[DarthFed]

Unfucking real, probably would be 0-40 to tie this set up

 

[DarthFed]

Only right if he breaks here after that.

 

[DarthFed]

And there it is! Great fight back by Roger!

 

[Denis]

Ugh. The wheels are coming of completely with Kei and his serving is abysmal last game.

 

[DarthFed]

This would be a brutal set for Kei to lose. It would be tough for Roger too because he has spent a lot of energy coming back but at least he's playing a lot better and would still feel good going into set 2.

 

[Denis]

Phew. Kei finds his serve just in time and takes the first set. It feels like Federer is going to win this match though.

 

[DarthFed]

Awful tiebreak from Roger and he loses it. Suddenly he's still down a set and it was an hour long set. Not good. First few games here are key, if Kei jumps out fast this match is probably over

 

[Vince Evert]

oh no after staging a great fightback, Roger has lost the first set in a tiebreak.

Lol, I just wrote the exact opposite.

 

[Vince Evert]

I don't see him getting back into the match unless Kei chokes badly. His got the first set so chances of the happening a second time is slim.

 

[DarthFed]

Roger's return...ugh. Ancient or not I think he'd have won a few more in his late 20's and 30's if he still had a decent ROS.

What are you talking about? It's 47-47 in points at the moment. No-one is dominating and Kei is relying on Fed's UFE's too much at the moment. This match is far from over.

 

[DarthFed]

Just horrific returning. Placement doesn't even matter against him
