It's be a free hit anyway, nobody will expect him to trouble Nadal but you can bet he will give it what he has, if he gets there.

I always said Fed would hurt him.... In fact I'd be pretty confident he would beat Nadal if it was a first round instead of a semi.... The fact Fed should have 2 days before the semi should make it a closer match.

by Jahu Tue Jun 04, 2019 1:26 pm

What we need today is a quick 3 set from Fed, no dogfight, no 5h match.

Federer has dropped 0 sets so far and has 2 days break, he’ll be fine.

Nishikori should start with a 3 game head start for making him play THREE DAYS on the trot. As always Nadal gets the favours

Fed should give up this to Stan with 6:2 and 6:2 and let Stan move on and sparehimself for grass.

by bogbrush Tue Jun 04, 2019 2:54 pm

Wait.. who let Federer & Stan start without telling me?

Just caught the stats which suggest Federer has let the 2nd set slip away from him when he had the chances. Is that how the match looks?

by N2D2L Tue Jun 04, 2019 2:56 pm

Fed 0/7 on BP
Stan 1/1

by N2D2L Tue Jun 04, 2019 2:57 pm

Score flatters Stan big time

by noleisthebest Tue Jun 04, 2019 3:14 pm

Stanimal in da zone!
Fed's got no chance.

by Jahu Tue Jun 04, 2019 3:42 pm

....meanwhile Nadal 6:1, 3:1 up

by bogbrush Tue Jun 04, 2019 3:53 pm

I've asked it before but nobody had the answer.... what is the point of Kei Nishikori?

by Jahu Tue Jun 04, 2019 4:01 pm

To advertise Uniqloe and act like a global japanese sportsman.

by bogbrush Tue Jun 04, 2019 4:02 pm

I knew there had to be a reason for him.

Stan beginning to tire. Can he find another gust of wind in him?

by noleisthebest Tue Jun 04, 2019 4:06 pm

From memory, Nishi has not even won a 1000 masters event.
That says a lot.

Watching on bet365 with no commentary, I can't see any umbrellas in the crowd, why is the match suspended?

Btw, is Rafa too good or Nishi simply terrible?

It’s raining, lack of umbrellas is because french don’t mind getting wet.

by noleisthebest Tue Jun 04, 2019 4:29 pm

OK, I can see the rain covers coming on.
They could've continued to play.

Some would call influencing the playing conditions cheating....

Have not been able to watch this live, will watch highlights and reach my conclusion. However Nadal has been playing very well, Nishi on poor form and tired, so scoreline not surprising.

I dunno, I expected stronger resistance from Nishi. At least 3-4 games per set. He really is useless.

Hey its RG, nothing interesting has happened since 2009

by N2D2L Tue Jun 04, 2019 5:44 pm

Match has restarted guys

by naxroy Tue Jun 04, 2019 5:57 pm

I dont know what to prefer between roger or stan

by AceofDeath Tue Jun 04, 2019 6:01 pm

Federer Nadal part 39

by N2D2L Tue Jun 04, 2019 6:01 pm

Fed has dropped only one set all tournament and now has 2 days rest.
He will be extremely dangerous in the semi.

by Jahu Tue Jun 04, 2019 6:02 pm

No he wont, so dont lose sleep.over it.

Oh come on Amrit, a 38 year old fast court exponent is going to trouble Nadal on clay?

Federer is playing with house money here, I wouldn’t worry yourself.

How dare you question his judgement like that, I would never do such a thing

by naxroy Tue Jun 04, 2019 6:15 pm

Federer will shorten points, will visit the net a lot and if he can take nadal´s ball early, he will hurt rafa

but I only see roger winning if it is an astonishing performance and in no more than 3 sets

Roger would need a bad day from rafa too

He’s 37* and Nadal is 33.

But yeah you’re right, Nadal is big favourite.
Federer is playing well though, and the fact he avoided a 5th set along with the 2 day break will mean he’s fresh.
The good signs for Nadal are he’s playing aggressively, he has to dictate the rallies to do well against Roger.

by Jahu Tue Jun 04, 2019 6:23 pm

DEC1M7 drop the pro Fed propaganda and FUD.

All of us here watch tennis longer than 2 years.

by N2D2L Tue Jun 04, 2019 6:26 pm

I said Nadal is big favourite, what more do you want, should I slag off Fedr?

by AceofDeath Tue Jun 04, 2019 6:29 pm

Hoping for many rain delays for Nadal/Fed and for Djok to get through his matches quick erm

Federer won't win a set Amritia you should just say it, that's what you are thinking. I can read your mind Grr

by N2D2L Tue Jun 04, 2019 6:42 pm

Josiah; it’s scheduled to rain tomorrow for those men’s QF, if that gets shifted to Thursday, it’s unlikely the Djokovic Thiem semi would be before Fedal.
My hope is somehow Djokovic Thiem semi gets rained off and they play on Sat.

by bogbrush Tue Jun 04, 2019 6:46 pm

My hope is that it rains from now to the end of the week. I always remember what happened to Nadal in that final when it began drizzling. He was desperate to get off, I doubt he’d have won another game against Djokovic that day when the damp killed his high bounce and he was left stark naked.

by barrystar Tue Jun 04, 2019 6:47 pm

Fed must be super pleased that he's made the SF after an absence of 3 years. I guess he'll cope with having his tush handed him by his nemesis come Friday. I think it's the close losses that hurt most, and I doubt Friday will be one of those.

John Cleese understands the trouble with watching Fedal

Yeah and then they move it to Paris indoor hard so the tournament gets finished in time.
