Federer vs Nadal In-Game-Thread

**HeeeHAWWWW** · 02-01-09, 04:07 AM

Fed handling the topspin nicely here - a truer bounce than on clay or grass means he can take it early with less errors.

**CarloTwoGuns** · 02-01-09, 04:08 AM

Come on fed .. I need this money!

**InTheHole** · 02-01-09, 04:13 AM

Any prediction watching the first four Crazy?

**dwaechte** · 02-01-09, 04:19 AM

This has been everything we could've asked for so far. Tremendous set.

**CarloTwoGuns** · 02-01-09, 04:20 AM

Almost everything.

Now all I need is FED to win.

**dlw902** · 02-01-09, 04:20 AM

i just really feel like if the rallies continue the way these have, Nadal is going to wear down halfway into the match... i may be wrong but these long points and all the running that both are having to do seems to favor Fed-ex IMO.

**HeeeHAWWWW** · 02-01-09, 04:24 AM

Nadal's lack of plan B is telling. The old moonball to the backhand isn't working, and he doesn't know what else to do on hard vs Fed.

**CarloTwoGuns** · 02-01-09, 04:26 AM

Fedddddd

**dwaechte** · 02-01-09, 04:28 AM

What a way to give up a break...

**maniac0201** · 02-01-09, 04:28 AM

How Nadal got to two of those points I don't quite know.

**dlw902** · 02-01-09, 04:28 AM

Federer not playing with a killer instinct

**dwaechte** · 02-01-09, 04:29 AM

I wasn't going to start drinking until noon tomorrow in preparation for the Superbowl, but maybe I should just get drunk while watching this. Just cracked number two, got a ways to go.

**dlw902** · 02-01-09, 04:32 AM

Federer can't even get his first serve in.. come on Federer... elevate your game here.

**dwaechte** · 02-01-09, 04:35 AM

He's doing fine still.. nothing wrong with going to the tiebreak if he has to.

**CarloTwoGuns** · 02-01-09, 04:36 AM

I think FED is playing it a lil safe right now..He seems to get a lil more aggressive every minute that passes..

Hopefully he can start playing with that fire

**HeeeHAWWWW** · 02-01-09, 04:38 AM

Federer isn't serving well yet it's true, only 53%. However he's all over Nadal's serve at the other end (winning 64% of points on Nadal's 2nd serve).

**CarloTwoGuns** · 02-01-09, 04:40 AM

Come on FEDDDD

**InTheHole** · 02-01-09, 04:41 AM

God bless anybody who has money on this one!

**jayc88** · 02-01-09, 04:43 AM

break nadal

**dlw902** · 02-01-09, 04:44 AM

inability to get first serve in=now nadal serving for the set... great. Federer's unforced errors are going to cause him this set and Nadal will get all of the momentum... dang it.

**dwaechte** · 02-01-09, 04:44 AM

Uh oh lol.

Really I'm not all that concerned, only have a small amount on Fed. I have a slightly larger amount on over 40.5 games. But still, I'm a fan and would like to see him win.

**HeeeHAWWWW** · 02-01-09, 04:45 AM

Really weak service game there from Federer, basically gave it away.

**InTheHole** · 02-01-09, 04:46 AM

All mental

**HeeeHAWWWW** · 02-01-09, 04:47 AM

Errors errors errors. The match is winnable for Fed, especially with how well he's reading Nadal's serve, but needs to wake up and stop giving away so many free points.

However, he may need a changeover to do that......

**daggerkobe** · 02-01-09, 04:50 AM

Vamos Nadal!!!!!!!

Earns the 1st set.

**dwaechte** · 02-01-09, 04:50 AM

Unbelievable rally on that last point.

**InTheHole** · 02-01-09, 04:50 AM

Got a long haul from here on out.

**HeeeHAWWWW** · 02-01-09, 04:51 AM

Yikes, 54% first serve for Fed, 58% for Nadal.

No wonder there are so many rallies.

**daggerkobe** · 02-01-09, 04:53 AM

Federer is scared.

**MilfDriller** · 02-01-09, 04:53 AM

Fed is toast. It's all mental. He should win this. Gift wrapped the first set...

0-30

toast

**dlw902** · 02-01-09, 04:54 AM

sorry guys but this one looks about over... Federer looks like a ****ing bitch. I think he won what, 1 out of 5 of his service games and is now down 0-30 in the first service game... GET YOUR F******* first serve in

**InTheHole** · 02-01-09, 04:55 AM

40f-30

**MilfDriller** · 02-01-09, 04:56 AM

30-30
40-30 ....

5-7, 1-0*

-2, +2, +2, +1

5-7, 6-4, 6-4, 7-6 .... that's a push. I don't see it.

**MilfDriller** · 02-01-09, 04:56 AM

Hey HeeHaw,

What action you got on this?

**daggerkobe** · 02-01-09, 04:57 AM

Federer's gf lost a lot of weight. Probably was reading all the blogs calling her fat.
