Internazionali BNL d'Italia, Rome, Italy - Masters 1000

My concern is FAA seems to be already red-lining his game, and potentially tiring himself out in the process, whereas we know Novak isn’t playing his A game.

Felix is listening to you Miss Margaret ..good sideline coaching

Well, in the absence of Uncle Toni....

Does FAA have a poor drop shot, or just today?

I just think it was a poor shot selection, I felt he was tight

Now FAA is playing as if he had 5 espressos between sets.

What aspects of FAA’s game does anything think have been improved since teaming with Toni Nadal?

FAA is seems like he has the ability to problem solve better. I think he is mixing his serves better and cutting down on the UFEs.. Felix gets a little sloppy with his FHs but that is a combination of nerves and poor footwork at critical times. Toni has help alot.. Felix makes it consistently to the 2nd weeks of slams. I am not sure he was doing that pre Toni.

Thanks. I haven’t watched him enough to have known that.

Classic Djoke point to break serve. Felix needs to learn to go behind gumby and not hit right to him

Yep. Even though I want Novak to lose every time he steps on court (yes, I said it), I have to admit that was a great point.

Did Novak just tell the umpire to tell the crowd to shut the f up?

FTFY!

See what I'm saying about the sloppy FH footwork by FAA?

Isn't it the duty of the crowds at the Italian Open to make the players want to tell them to shut the F up? I almost feel the crowd in unison is thinking "mission accomplished".
