Meh. That rebreak was very obvious.

 

[John Dunbar]

still feels federer is going to struggle to hold the entire match which means very bad times ahead.

 

[Mcfrank]

Fuck. That damn drop shot.

 

[John Dunbar]

that was a frustrating game from federer. should have been a relatively comfortable hold, but ended up being broken because of poor finishing.

 

[Sax]

Fed needs to be up a break to feel like he's on serve against Nadal.

 

[zero_suit]

Vamos!

 

[Mcfrank]

Guess lunch is over

 

[DrWong]

The wind is less of a problem for Rafa and is "brute forece" based game.

 

[zero_suit]

WOW

 

[Mcfrank]

I'll take some positivity out of that. Fed still in this

Spoiler

cries in corner

 

[John Dunbar]

suppose we should be glad it wasn't a blowout.

 

[Mcfrank]

Come on!

 

[CesareNorrez]

I'm just glad Fed is winning some break points.

 

[Roy]

Federer came to play! Down a set, he's not folding, he's playing his style and being aggressive instead of trying to go toe to toe 2m behind the baseline.

 

[Niraj]

This wind is nuts

 

[Mcfrank]

Jesus

 

[John Dunbar]

another classic federer overhead right at the opponent.

Always

 

[Hootie]

he's hanging in there this set, so far so good

 

[zero_suit]

Nadal makes so many ridiculous shots.

 

[Sax]

lollll

 

[Hootie]

nadal is relentless

 

[zero_suit]

Dumb drop shot

 

[Mcfrank]

Yeah poor shot selection from fed

 

[Hootie]

alright fellas, here comes the greatest tennis story of all time. Fed, down 2 sets to Nadal on philippe chatrier, comes back and wins the next 3 sets

Djoker is the only one that can make the final interesting. I'm not convinced Thiem is ready.

Ouch! : D

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Dominated

 

[Hootie]

jesus christ, he's too good

 

[jett]

Sometimes I can't believe Nadal is still as good as he has ever been at 33.

 

[John Dunbar]

welp, only thiem can save tennis now.

that is to say, tennis is dead.

 

[Green Yoshi]

Great match by Federer, but against the best player on clay of all times it's impossible to win. I think Thiem won't have a chance either on Sunday.

Djokovic is steamrolling and he breaks a racquet? Fucking bizarre

Reminds me of Lewis Hamilton. He's always complaining even if it's clear that he will win the race.

 

[clemenx]

As expected. Lol at people getting excited about a clay court Fedal.

This one didn't even have the added entertaiment of a bagel.

1st and 2nd sets were still great entertainment imo. 3rd set was a wash tho I agree

 

[AshenOne]

Federer won quite a few games considering he defeated nadal 5-6 straight times recently i wanted a bagel atleast :P but oh well can't have everything every time but still its always good to see fed defeated in 3 sets by nadal for me. The last few grand slams have been frustrating to watch as a nadal fan so atleast this time nadal should go all guns out in the final against whomever.

 

[John Dunbar]

has the wind gotten even worse? looks pretty bad.

 

[DrWong]

I'm in Paris: it's not better, very strong wind, I can hear it from inside my house. It's stormy.

 

[EvilChameleon]

Nadal just mowed Federer down this morning.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Theim won the first set. We have a match folks

 

[CesareNorrez]

Theim has it in him to win the whole thing. He just needs unwavering confidence.

 

[John Dunbar]

thiem beating djokovic wouldn't be that shocking, but i don't believe he can hurt nadal.

 

[Elynn]

Thank god this is the last year without a roof on the Chatrier. Can't fucking stand dealing with the same problem every single year anymore.

 

[miserable]

Match is over

 

[CesareNorrez]

Theim always does poorly after a rain delay. Seems to be recovering in the 3rd.
