its a bit werid, i cant remember the last time i watched a slam final and wanted federer to lose


Ditto. I suppose if Andy can't make it, there is the consolation that a) he has done well to get to the final and b)Fed gets his 13th slam and 5 USO in a row.

But - Come on, Andy! Going with serve so far.


Damn. Andy has dropped his serve.

Tim - I gave you a link on page 1.

This is going to be tough for Andy. I feel if he loses the 1st set it'll be a big ask for him, especially after his exertions over the last 2 days.

I'm not in the pickem. I assume that is your addition to my post!

Not looking too good so far. Fed is playing like of old, and Andy looks a bit flat, or tired (not unreasonably.)

Yup. Takes the first set 6-2. Andy's serve is not working as well as against Rafa - or Fed is just better at returning it.

murrays problem is that he has to bt both nadal and fed to win a slam - fed and nadal only have to beat each other normally!!

if fed keeps this up it will be done in 3 i fear

quote:-

First Andy ended del Potro's 23-match winning streak.

Now he's ended Rafa's 19-match grand slam winning streak.

'Only' Federer's 33-match winning streak at the US Open to go ... (he had a W/O against Pavel in 2004 in case you're wondering why it's not 34)

And now we can add to that birthday quiz I did about the spooky similarities between Andy and Fed's progression up to their 21st birthdays:

Which player, who had never got past a grand slam QF before, didn't stop when they reached their first grand slam semi at the age of 21?

Yes, that's right, same two answers, and Andy has reached his first slam Final around half a year younger than Roger did.

And Fed knows better than anyone else what he did when he reached that Final ... (though, no pressure Andy - after all, all Fed had to do there was beat Flipper!)

But as my signature says (never mind that it was originally about the DC and Boggo and will be again in a couple of weeks' time!), 72 years of hurt never stopped us dreaming!
end quote

where ? for livestream?

Oh dear. Fed looks back to his best here, and Andy is being outclassed I'm afraid. Fed leads *2-0 second set.
