Tennis - Sinner accepts three month ban - won't miss Roland Garros (4 Viewers)

[AAABatteries]

What the hell with that shot - looked like something I’d try

 

[AAABatteries]

For whatever reason (age, confidence against Joker) Federer doesn’t seem to trust his game in those tiebreakers.  It would be one thing if Novak was overpowering him or returning everything but he’s not - he’s beatable today.

 

[AAABatteries]

You almost have to feel for Novak.  He’s a wonderful player - could realistically go down as the GOAT.  He’s not loved and he knows it.  This crowd seems desperate for Roger to win.

 

[AAABatteries]

And the Princess is hawt as balls - both of them are actually but haven’t seen Meghan if she’s there

And the Princess is hawt as balls - both of them are actually but haven’t seen Meghan if she’s there

 I’m guessing not since they seem to have shown every other damn person in the crowd

 

[AAABatteries]

Let’s hope we get this Federer and a focused Joker in the 5th - could be epic.

 

[ShamrockPride]

Jok hasn't done #### since that odd freak out on that slip.

Yeah what was that?  Watching with no sound.

That's the only redeeming value of royalty right there.

Seems like he might have tweaked his groin there?  Just grabbed it after missing the 40-0 volley

I thought so too and if we found out he did then it will make his 3rd set win that more impressive.  I’m not counting him out though - I’d put him as a slight favorite in the 5th - especially since he serves first.

Hmmm, didn't notice but wasn't really paying attention. Would suck.

He definitely feel awkwardly but to be honest other than the result I can’t really tell that he’s ailing.  He’s still moving pretty good - maybe a little lethargic but I’ve never seen him as a high energy guy - just meticulously excellent.

 

[Capella]

When was the last 5th set at the Wimbledon final? 

 

[AAABatteries]

Federer with that drop shot - why?  That’s a ball he could take a rip at - be aggressive!

 

[AAABatteries]

When was the last 5th set at the Wimbledon final? 

2014 with these same two guys

He’s been doing that on second serves. Don’t get it. 

 

[AAABatteries]

He’s been doing that on second serves. Don’t get it. 

He should play the way he did on those last two winners.  Go for it.

 

[ShamrockPride]

ESPN gotta stop with this crappy Petty cover...

 

[ShamrockPride]

Don't think Jok can afford to fall behind at this point. If he can go up 2 here, that should put him in a pretty good spot.

 

[AAABatteries]

Don't think Jok can afford to fall behind at this point. If he can go up 2 here, that should put him in a pretty good spot.

It’s remarkable to me after sitting here watching for 3.5 hours that he’s still probably the favorite to win.  Seems like Fed should have the upper hand

 

[identikit]

Come on Joker....

 

[ShamrockPride]

Let's go baby! I think 2 is the lead he needs to get this.

 

[AAABatteries]

Great drama

 

[Captain Cranks]

Effing awesome.  Let's go!

 

[gianmarco]

Cold blooded with ice in his veins.

 

[ShamrockPride]

Rog doesn't usually rush the net this much does he?

 

[AAABatteries]

3 drops in a row - WHAT THE HELL 

 

[Captain Cranks]

He's tired.  

 

[Capella]

The tennis is good 

 

[ShamrockPride]

Well #### 

 

[AAABatteries]

He's tired.  

Maybe, I just think there’s some small confidence factor.  He’s only human and 37 and playing the best player in the world

 

[Captain Cranks]

Great game for Fed.  He looked gassed and still held serve.  

 

[AAABatteries]

Damn - just missed it

 

[ShamrockPride]

These Fed drops give me anxiety...

 

[identikit]

Borg in the audience?

 

[Daywalker]

No tiebreaker right?

 

[AAABatteries]

These Fed drops give me anxiety...

Don’t know if cranks is right about fatigue or he think Novak is playing deeper but it’s a little odd to me but wtf do I know -  

 

[AAABatteries]

No tiebreaker right?

Right

 

[Take_The_Shot]

Right

New rules. 12-12 then tiebreaker

 

[identikit]

Oh my

 

[ShamrockPride]

Dude.

 

[AAABatteries]

Federer looks like Jim Nabors from the Gomer Pyle days - Halloween costume I think

 

[AAABatteries]

Ugh

 

[ShamrockPride]

It seems like every time Jok is ready to go up comfortably, he makes a poor play and kills his flow.

 

[AAABatteries]

Alright guys - I’ve got stuff to do.

 

[Captain Cranks]

Cannot believe this guy is about to turn 38. Incredible.   

 

[ShamrockPride]

UGHHHHH, I got a haircut to leave for in 20 minutes. Let's get this done Jok.

 

[AAABatteries]

Cannot believe this guy is about to turn 38. Incredible.   

I’d think the odds for Joker has to be around 75% now - Fed with a harder semifinal and the age difference.  

 

[Zow]

What a freaking match. Federer with six games won in each set (aside from fact Federer will have won more games) and is probably going to lose. Has that ever happened?
