The line moved 100 cents at Pinny in Fed's favor.

**mathdotcom** · 06-05-09, 11:21 AM

CrazyL, all the squares on Federer

**TurkzZ** · 06-05-09, 11:36 AM

agree, Bookies ganna have a great day at this rate

**yisman** · 06-05-09, 11:44 AM

I think I'm rooting for Federer even though I have live stuff on Del Potro.

**yisman** · 06-05-09, 11:49 AM

NBC is showing the end of Soderling/Gonzalez on tape delay. Gonzalez really choked it away.

Plus, some guy didn't know the rules and was thinking of overturning a call late on the point which Soderling won to go up 5-4 in the fifth set.

I wish NBC was showing live Federer. This is annoying.

**SBR Lou** · 06-05-09, 11:51 AM

Fed fights off double breakpoints to hold in set 3.

5 more mins sir and we should all have it live across the US, nbc will most likely pick it up live knowing they have only 3 hrs to show whats left and if it goes 5 sets they cant squeeze the whole match in 5 hrs, so i think they are 'forced' to do the right thing and pick it up live

**j0hnnyv** · 06-05-09, 11:58 AM

fed down 2-4 in set 3 and about to get broken again. hes done.

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-05-09, 12:05 PM

He's down, but after the Haas miracle, can you count him out? I'll say this. If Fed gets broke in the 4th, then I think it's done quick. This thread is going to be ridiculous for the rest of the day. Lou would be smart to just not even come here

**TurkzZ** · 06-05-09, 12:09 PM

ganna be harder this time, hass is a bad player

**j0hnnyv** · 06-05-09, 12:10 PM

well i moved off federer and bought as many share sas del potro i could got tons on him at -109 so I need this fool to hold now...fed is DONE

I wish I would have got a piece of the huge odds on DP

**HeeeHAWWWW** · 06-05-09, 12:12 PM

Fed getting pretty comprehensively outplayed - he can't get anything off the del Potro serve, and is at best 50/50 in rallies, if he's lucky.

The only ace he holds is his experience. It won him the tiebreak, Potro choked a bit there. Problem is, Potro is just repetitively hammering down the huge serves - if Fed drops his own he's in deep trouble.

Tiebreak probably Fed's best chance, then the pressure will likely get to Potro in the final set.

Nope. They show the end of Soderling-Gonzalez and then show a soap opera instead of Federer-Del Potro. Nice job, idiots.

What, they want to wait until it's over to show it?

**TurkzZ** · 06-05-09, 12:14 PM

i really hate these commentators on bbc, and the crowd at this open, does nobody support under dogs anymore

There a gang of squares who influence the other squares, its ridiculous the way everyone kisses Feds ass, everytime he makes a shot the crowd knock out a nut and I don't even want to get into these commentators..

**yisman** · 06-05-09, 12:26 PM

Federer is not done. I say it goes 5 sets.

I hedged with him at +152 after he went down 2 sets to 1.

**HeeeHAWWWW** · 06-05-09, 12:28 PM

If it goes 5, strongly suspect Fed wins. Partly cos of his experience, but also cos of Potro's lack of it in 5 sets. He might even struggle now in the 4th, as he did vs Murray in the US.

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-05-09, 12:33 PM

Breaker breaker. Since my money is gone on this one, from a purely theatrical hope I want a 5th set and Fed to rally and win. Love Del Potro's game too, but damn man how can you not want Fed to win this after all these years?

**TurkzZ** · 06-05-09, 12:44 PM

5th set

Blah, wish I'd followed instincts and bet here - Fed broke straight away, won 5 in a row.

**EaglesPhan36** · 06-05-09, 12:45 PM

He who gets broken first is doneski me thinks. Although why not go the distance here in the 5th?

**TurkzZ** · 06-05-09, 12:50 PM

feds ganna win it, all hes gay fans cheearing him on now...fagz

**HeeeHAWWWW** · 06-05-09, 12:51 PM

Potro looking pretty tired now, and Fed playing pretty well once he spotted the weakness.

**SBR Lou** · 06-05-09, 12:55 PM

That is why live betting can be tricky, anyone who bought off Fed must really feel salty right now.

**SBR Lou** · 06-05-09, 12:56 PM

I smell a fifth set bagel.

**SBR Lou** · 06-05-09, 01:02 PM

What do you guys think the odds on finals will be?

**HeeeHAWWWW** · 06-05-09, 01:04 PM

Fed -333?

Assuming Roger holds on, I would think it opens at Federer -350 to -400. Hard to say where it goes after that.

**yisman** · 06-05-09, 01:10 PM

btw, anyone holding a Federer future should hedge in the finals. That's my advice, anyway.

Again assuming that Federer can hold off Del Potro in this hard-fought match.

Two very competitive ones today. Many hours of tennis.

**TurkzZ** · 06-05-09, 01:13 PM

Thats what im talkin bout, break back
