I have had it since set 2.

Fed's chance is to see Cilic crumble before the line... I don't think it will happen though.

by summerblues on Sun Jan 28, 2018 11:07 am

I can't believe Fed could be at 19 slams after this match.

by legendkillar on Sun Jan 28, 2018 11:07 am

36% first serves in that set.

Poor.

by Jahu on Sun Jan 28, 2018 11:08 am

Hope Fed changes something now, this is getting ridiculous, gifting 2 sets now.

by Slippy on Sun Jan 28, 2018 11:09 am

I wonder if his incredibly easy draw has caught up with Roger a bit here? He choked at the end of the second set and he hasn’t been able to live with Cilic when he’s turned up the heat. Frankly, he’s been hanging on and hoping for Cilic’s level to dip.

by Slippy on Sun Jan 28, 2018 11:10 am

That said, I would still say this is 60-40 in Fed’s favour. Experience should count in this set.

Fed can;t be tired, he is playing more scared then he did against Nadal last year, wtf is going on

Have to say Fed looked complacent at times..

by barrystar on Sun Jan 28, 2018 11:12 am

At the moment it is on Cilic’s racquet. That can change, but Fed can not handle his power.

by AceofDeath on Sun Jan 28, 2018 11:13 am

Federer is so scared to bash the ball in a rally he is awful. He is trying to play too safe

Cilic needs controlled aggression and not reckless bashing.

by gallery play on Sun Jan 28, 2018 11:15 am

Finally the right intensity. He'll need all of it. Cilic is not about to choke this time, he plays like he has nothing to lose

by Jahu on Sun Jan 28, 2018 11:15 am

COme onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn do somethinggggggggggggggggg breakkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

by Tenez on Sun Jan 28, 2018 11:15 am

What an amazing BH from Fed.....will it be enough?

by AceofDeath on Sun Jan 28, 2018 11:15 am

You cannot play careful tennis now Roger you have to play risky

Exactly.... but mainly due to fatigue.

by Slippy on Sun Jan 28, 2018 11:16 am

Agree LK. Fed needs more variety from his perspective though - he’s just been content to trade with Cilic from the baseline and his game isn’t about that anymore.

by luvsports! on Sun Jan 28, 2018 11:19 am

MY NERVES ARE SHREDDED

by legendkillar on Sun Jan 28, 2018 11:19 am

Fed needs to up for it sure. Got to pounce on the Cilic errors.

by Tenez on Sun Jan 28, 2018 11:19 am

There is nothing hurting anymore in Fed's game.....not even his serve.

by AceofDeath on Sun Jan 28, 2018 11:20 am

He's not putting much pressure on Cilic in the rallies erm

by legendkillar on Sun Jan 28, 2018 11:20 am

What a challenge that was.

by legendkillar on Sun Jan 28, 2018 11:21 am

Hawkeye bought that break there smiley

by Tenez on Sun Jan 28, 2018 11:22 am

2DFs from Cilic helped a lot there.

Federer's serve needs to improve....back to 60% plus!

by Jahu on Sun Jan 28, 2018 11:22 am

If Fed doesnt win now, I swear im going to Basel Open and throw a pie at him...well maybe not but it will hurt if he loses now!!

by summerblues on Sun Jan 28, 2018 11:22 am

Luckily, Cilic is still a choker. But we were here in set 4 and it was not enough.

by Jahu on Sun Jan 28, 2018 11:22 am

We need some fucking Karlovic serves a few games!!!

by gallery play on Sun Jan 28, 2018 11:22 am

Pfew. What started off as lovely Sunday morning, turned out as a road to hell and back. The fact Cilic always serves a few free points keeps Fed alive. And me too btw

He doesn't choke. Errors are part of his game.

by Jahu on Sun Jan 28, 2018 11:24 am

UEs galore come onnnnnnnnnnnn

by legendkillar on Sun Jan 28, 2018 11:24 am

More of those!

by legendkillar on Sun Jan 28, 2018 11:25 am

Big service game for Cilic coming up.

by Tenez on Sun Jan 28, 2018 11:26 am

Cilic collapsing mentally a bit.....as his UEs saved Fed from another break.

by summerblues on Sun Jan 28, 2018 11:26 am

One more break please. I cannot bear three more tough holds.

by AceofDeath on Sun Jan 28, 2018 11:26 am

My heart is doing cartwheels because of this match. Please get 4-0 or 4-1!

by Jahu on Sun Jan 28, 2018 11:27 am

Break him now again, 4:0 nowwwwww

ffs im having a heartburn

He doesn't choke. Errors are part of his game.

Indeed...but some are real chokes like his FH in this TB v Nadal.

by gallery play on Sun Jan 28, 2018 11:28 am

The neo Fed: complaining against ref and linesmen. I like it: he means business at last

by summerblues on Sun Jan 28, 2018 11:28 am

Perhaps, though I have always felt he tightened up in big moments far more than, say, Delpo.

by Jahu on Sun Jan 28, 2018 11:28 am

Cilic can play another 4 sets, he has power, doesnt seem tired, sure UEs here and there normal.

by Tenez on Sun Jan 28, 2018 11:28 am

Fed trying to stand as much up on Cilic's return...

by Jahu on Sun Jan 28, 2018 11:28 am

DOnt fuck it up now, SERVEEEEEE

by legendkillar on Sun Jan 28, 2018 11:29 am

What Fed wouldn't give for a love service game.

by legendkillar on Sun Jan 28, 2018 11:30 am

And obliges! smiley

by Jahu on Sun Jan 28, 2018 11:30 am

new balls at the right time,

by summerblues on Sun Jan 28, 2018 11:31 am

I needed this. Please please break now.

by AceofDeath on Sun Jan 28, 2018 11:31 am

I love love service holds

by barrystar on Sun Jan 28, 2018 11:31 am

Dodgy drop shot. He is clinging on with will power and fumes. Still feels more on Cilic’s racquet than Fed’s; but Fed’s experience and greater technical quality helps a little.

Eight more decent serves.....

by Tenez on Sun Jan 28, 2018 11:31 am

I am enjoying that final now. I don;t think Fed will lose his serve from now.

After that first set Cilic played to save face and not to actually win the match. That's why he got so dangerous. I don't think he choked because winning it was never in his head.. Maybe a little when the fifth started.

by Jahu on Sun Jan 28, 2018 11:35 am

Yessss hahahahaha fucking serve it out mannnn
