yes, o/c, but basing it on Fed's history and the structure of the match... b/c if Fed had won the set ... would've only lost on a breadstick in the 3rd (extremely unlikely especially w/ M serving first)Originally Posted by shari91
and, o/c, M winning the 2nd set (which I fully did not expect)... Fed would need to turn on the juice in the 3rd and 4th and blast thru M like Shaq pumping a ballerina
If he somehow won this, I'd put this up there with a Serena level of upset. He was a dog against Roddick and even bloody Klizan. To take out Fed at a Slam would be monumental, especially since Mahut isn't a clay court player at all.
I don't think he's going to win ... But Federer is playing poorly enough for something crazy to happen. If Mahut starts to commit more unforced errors and plays a little more like Mahut, it'll probably be enough for Fed to take this in four sets. It's kind of tough to watch Fed play like this when you know he can be so much better.
I'm not counting Mahut out easily but I do think Fed is sleepwalking. Doing shit like he did in his last match when he dropped a set to Ungur. I'm glad he didn't drop the 1st set today cause I had Fed to win the 1st set. Glad 5dimes didn't have a 3-0 set prop cause I would have lost.
Did you guys hear that stat? Fed's only ever retired twice in a match. Guy's played over 1k matches. That's amazing considering you get these ding dongs who retire every 2mths.
I thought he actually retired never. Didn't greg have a stat on that?
I cant remember an in-match retirment.
ruh roh
*4-1
need one more hold here by M
I don't remember him retiring ever either but then again I haven't watched 1100 matches of his. I'm going to check OnCourt to see if they were years ago because I'm curious now.
Mahut should've had that last game, but the errors are starting to build on him ... Federer can cruise through the rest of this set.
I think it's just two withdrawals before the matches began. I specifically remember him withdrawing from an event in January.
5-1*
need a hold here
had 40-15 in last game and choked on a rooster
modern day Fed doesn't press in situations like this... so I'd expect a hold
30-0
30-15
30a
here it comes... right in the ass
30-40
oh fukk. will now ahve to sweat this in the 4th
I think those announcers stated it wrong accidentally. He has retired in tourneys twice but they were walkovers. Once against Blake in '08 in Paris and once in Doha in Jan this year against Tsonga.
dc
giving this away. unreal
bp
dc
ad
game
lol. fed didn't give a shit at the end
just need 2 games by M here in 4th
serving 1st
a hold to start it and I think this is almost 99.99%... as Fed would have to win 6 games in a row. rare feat for him on clay
30-0
40-15 money point
done. no way he wins 6 in a row
ok if you're confident, cheer for Goffin and Wawrinka to finish off their matches
Fed just isn't closing this out. Insane!
Fed breaks at love. Finally!
Mahut broke right back! Crazy shit!
Federer is playing poorly, and Mahut isn't playing poorly enough for Fed to cruise. This is going to be an epic upset. I'm absolutely stunned by this.
Mahut will not win. I'm willing to give 500 points to anyone willing to put up 2. It just won't happen although I'd love to see it.
Wow ... That was the best game Federer has played all match. He seems determined to end this in four sets.
Fed breaks to 6-5 and serving for the match.
Fed finally won. Unfortunately Serena and Bob are gonna lose.
Mahut ... The guy never thought he was going to lose that match until Fed broke him to go up 6-5.
Yeah that was a great effort by Mahut.
This is exactly what Agassi was talking about in that interview after he wrote his book when he was asked what he noticed the most between when he was a top player and when he went back down to the Challengers. He said that when you're one of the best, you have the luxury of choosing when and how to play. And about how all that stuff like "I only think of one match at a time", "I don't look ahead" is bullshit. When you're a lower level player, you go 110% every point of every match because you need to do so to win. You don't tank sets to save energy because you're scared you can't make them up like the better players can (although I definitely don't think Fed did that here... Murray is more of a culprit of that quite often). After I heard him say that stuff, I've rarely taken a big favourite with the handicap since.
Wozniak is gonna take out Azarenka now
Don't even joke. That would be all of my Christmas miracles for the next 10yrs coming true right now.
It's certainly possible ... Never know in the WTA.
