Rafa's going to have to win this set in tiebreaks to stay in the match. I don't see him breaking Roger's serve.

you mushed FED

break just happened

**Cuse0323** · 01-29-17, 04:34 AM

Damn. Roger playing better, but missing shots. Nadal about to make it 1-1, and wear him out.

**Cuse0323** · 01-29-17, 04:37 AM

His forehand betrayed him. Needs to win the third now, I guess.

**Plaza23** · 01-29-17, 04:51 AM

Fed's level dropped in the 2nd set.

1st set he had 13 W and 7 UE
2nd set he had 6 W and 13 UE

No way Nadal keeps this intensity up in 5th.

**Plaza23** · 01-29-17, 05:12 AM

Fed's lifted his level again. We'll see if Rafa can come back in 4th set.

**Wrongside** · 01-29-17, 05:20 AM

Anyone who took Fed to win this match, mad respect.

I stayed away cause I want Fed to win too much.

Just haven't seen Fed do it in a Grand Slam Final in so long - or versus Joker or Nadal in a grand slam in so long.

If it was all about $, I would have taken Nadal. Fed up 3-0 in third right now..

It's a really very close match, one break is everything...

**Dollars2Donuts** · 01-29-17, 05:35 AM

This match is so far from over.

**Wrongside** · 01-29-17, 05:40 AM

Agree with both above posts. That's more of my pre-match analysis than anything. Didn't want to write it when Rafa was looking better

**Cuse0323** · 01-29-17, 05:48 AM

Fed is ripping his backhand beautifully. The forehand is coming back a bit. Finish him, my man.

**mackave** · 01-29-17, 05:49 AM

Can Fed even win 5th set? :\

**Dollars2Donuts** · 01-29-17, 05:59 AM

Federer looking really loose....and I don't mean in a good way. Kind of shooting the ball all over. His winners are only coming after Nadal setups.

**Cuse0323** · 01-29-17, 06:00 AM

It's over. Fed is done. He's going for it too early. No way he wins the 5th.

**juicername** · 01-29-17, 06:01 AM

This match was always going to 5 sets.

**Dollars2Donuts** · 01-29-17, 06:01 AM

And that game point by Nadal was almost a fluke. Lunged for the ball and hit the perfect winner.

This is painful. Come on Fed, tighten your shit up here buddy.

**Cuse0323** · 01-29-17, 06:03 AM

Amazing shot. Lucky, or not. Unreal. Fed needs to just rest, and practice for the 5th.

Federer must have to serve first in 5th set, at least bringing scoreboard pressure to Nadal.
He is really loosen at the moment

**Plaza23** · 01-29-17, 06:04 AM

This is going 5. It's really been the difference in Fed's play as how this match has gone. Rafa's been pretty even the entire match, whereas Fed played flawless in the 1st/3rd, and then alot of errors in the 2nd/4th.

**Cuse0323** · 01-29-17, 06:10 AM

Fed is just throwing the racket out now. His legs are done. Not getting anything on easy returns. Hopefully just resting for the 5th, but this may be over. Need a cheap break in the 5th, and Roger to serve out.

**Cuse0323** · 01-29-17, 06:12 AM

His forehand is completely gone. Shit.

Pressing to try and win points early.

You hit the nail on the head. This match has all been about Federer, win or lose. I still think he has it in him....but he has to be set 1 and 3 Fed.

**Dollars2Donuts** · 01-29-17, 06:17 AM

And I don't think he is tired at all. These sets have been short and he has more than enough energy here. It's his head that is a bit of a mess, not his legs.

**Plaza23** · 01-29-17, 06:17 AM

Total Points after 4 sets are 110-110.

**wikkidinsane** · 01-29-17, 06:17 AM

Yawns, What did i miss boys?

**Plaza23** · 01-29-17, 06:20 AM

Roger getting a MTO. Good strategic use of it before the 5th set.

**HossWilbur** · 01-29-17, 06:21 AM

You missed a lot of degenerates up late to watch this.

**jjgold** · 01-29-17, 06:21 AM

too many timeouts now in tennis and not due to injury

**Dollars2Donuts** · 01-29-17, 06:27 AM

Goodnight.

I think Roger has an issue with his groin, so not entirely tactically. He's done anyway.

**slayer14** · 01-29-17, 06:27 AM

Federer looks finished here he is gasping for air

**Cuse0323** · 01-29-17, 06:27 AM

Sleepy time.

Fck. 6-1 in the 3rd. Had to win the damn fourth. Sucks. Fed deserves this.

**slayer14** · 01-29-17, 06:29 AM

JJ you think Nadal is on the powder again

**Cuse0323** · 01-29-17, 06:34 AM

Blew his last chance. Had to break back.

Nadal dominating. Probably wins 6-0
