Federer gave me a huge scare in the first set. Djoker serve has been off

**MiDNiTe** · 01-30-20, 04:46 AM

Joker@1.50 one stage maybe lil bit more I was planning to jump on him after first set, missed opportunity

**Emmanuel70** · 01-30-20, 04:49 AM

Pff Fed had 4-1 and 40-0 on Djoko's serve and blow it away....my wheelchair....

**MiDNiTe** · 01-30-20, 04:49 AM

First set stats fed 26 winners 19 ue joker 10 winners 11 ue, set winner joker

**Emmanuel70** · 01-30-20, 04:51 AM

Medical timeout for Fedex

**Jeff_Black** · 01-30-20, 04:53 AM

Interesting that both second serves have been ineffective and both guys are attacking the serve.
Novak owned Federer on the important points yet again unfortunately.

**MiDNiTe** · 01-30-20, 04:54 AM

Joker didn't do any ue half way through the set

Noticed that too, just basically said 'come at me' to Rog

I advocate for removal of MT's from tennis; the big 3 are masters at abusing it to stage heroic comebacks...

I think it's worse in women's personally.

I remember Azarenka did it against Stephens the year she made her first big run and everyone booed her then and in the Final. I mean she deserved it because she was rattled and admitted as much.

Not a MTA but There was a match Kuznetsova and Wozniacki. Kuznetsova won the first set. Then Wozniacki was solid and won the second set playing well. Kuznetsova went and had a 10 minute bathroom break and it completely threw Wozniacki off her form and rhythm.

Wasn't there a match where Nadal took a long toilet break against Federer as well?

**asiagambler** · 01-30-20, 05:06 AM

They should just give them one timeout to use like other sports. That is basically how they are used anyway with some fake medical excuse. I forget who but I remember someone taking a medical timeout during a game. It was 40-40 lol

**Conqueror** · 01-30-20, 05:06 AM

Players take roids during MTs:

Yes +200
No -220

**JaimeMiro** · 01-30-20, 05:14 AM

Djokovic also did it against Wawrinka in US Open final; didn't work

**MiDNiTe** · 01-30-20, 05:16 AM

Yup way worser in wta if yastrema down break in final set she will have medical 90% of time, she has retired multiple times on mp too

**Jeff_Black** · 01-30-20, 05:20 AM

Im surprised they dont have a tent or something on the court but out of the way, for getting changed and MTO.
Then a portaloo toilet for people who want to go to the loo

**asiagambler** · 01-30-20, 05:20 AM

I'll never forget Martin Klizan retired on set point once and I had a 1st set bet against him

**Jeff_Black** · 01-30-20, 05:26 AM

I remember Bogomolov retired on a Match Point so clearly he was involved with some dodgy match fixing.

But he can beat Benoit Paire in 5 sets at a slam while serving 2 aces to 34 hahaha

**Conqueror** · 01-30-20, 05:26 AM

Talking about MTs, has a player ever died during a match?

**Jeff_Black** · 01-30-20, 05:30 AM

Jesus it's like Novak can just pull off those points whenever he wants.

No luck involved, just clutch play when it matters.

**slayer14** · 01-30-20, 05:32 AM

Federer is done here he is gasping for air thats when you know he cant cope with the pace of the game.

**MiDNiTe** · 01-30-20, 05:34 AM

Drives u crazy when someone retires mp after following match for 2,3 hours and your celebrating up 40-0 and then u think match is over but money hasn't come in then u check and go in a rage

**slayer14** · 01-30-20, 05:34 AM

What where odds on novak winning 1st set when he 4-1 down it must have been around 7/1 cause of federer reputation has a very good server.

**JaimeMiro** · 01-30-20, 05:37 AM

Djoker about to take Federer's lunch money

What about 0-40 4-1 to Fed? haha

Novak completely dismantled Raonic's serve guessing his patterns so the books would have been wary he can come back in my opinion.

But you want to make it worth getting the squares and mugs to bet on Federer to carry on with it too at less chalk.

I love WTA, if someone is injured they retire early; men sometimes prefer to take the bagel...

**Jeff_Black** · 01-30-20, 05:42 AM

Im surprised you guys don't keep track of menstral cycles on here. Just take note of whenever they lose 0-6 1-6 or something along those lines and bet accordingly.

**slayer14** · 01-30-20, 05:45 AM

Jeff you watched a lot of tennis the last 20 years do you think this is Federer last year playing tennis.

I have no idea what goes on in Federer's mind but I do think a big reason why he is playing in 2020 is another Olympics experience. Also to stop Nadal and Djokovic from winning Majors. Same reasons why Nadal and Djokovic keep going.

That said, he is making SF's at his age so as long as he is making 2 at the least (Wimbledon esp) he will just keep culling his schedule accordingly, to make himself good to go from the Slams.

He doesn't give away a whole lot on his health but if he had something bad again that could do it?

If I had to think of a percentage i'd honestly my gut feel 50/50 for the reasons mentioned.

**Emmanuel70** · 01-30-20, 05:53 AM

What a waster, I am afraid for Wikki's over 33 games

**JaimeMiro** · 01-30-20, 05:55 AM

And there it is; the straw that broke the GOAT's back

Let's go Djoko.

Hoping Thiem/Zverev can stop this monopoly game

**slayer14** · 01-30-20, 05:58 AM

Who win Thiem vs Zverev

**Jeff_Black** · 01-30-20, 05:58 AM

The gut wrenching part for Federer is both times he was broken he was at 40.
40-30 and 40-15.

11 UE in the first set and most of those were probably for half the set. 6 since for Novak.

**Jeff_Black** · 01-30-20, 06:26 AM

It's cool how many fans have stayed back to watch the Legends Matches.

Leaning towards Thiem. It's close, as Zverev has been money
