WHO'S WATCHING THE FED FINAL TONIGHT?!?!?!?!
*waves arm around, jumping frantically*

hoping fed wins in straight sets cos I want to watch the whole match + ceremony

 

[Silver Persian]

Roddick's doing well at the moment. Hope the match is an epic five setter won by the FedExpress.

 

[Silver Persian]

Roddick took the first set 7-5

 

[lychnobity]

Was shocked to see Roddick break his serve.

Don't have a good feeling about the next set. Federer is agitated, clearly from the way he challenged those last few balls.

 

[Silver Persian]

Match level 7-5 6-7 Roddick had four chances to take the second set but missed all of them.

 

[lychnobity]

The Roddick serve has yet to be broken.

 

[Silver Persian]

Federer up 5-7 7-6 7-6

 

[tommykins]

mmm roddick needs to get his head clear. the game now is all about the mind.

 

[lychnobity]

Match is currently even. Roddick has taken the 4th set. Looks to be a tough one for both sides physically and mentally.

5th set just started.

Roddick's serve is still unbroken.

Score currently:

5-7 7-6 7-6 3-6 1-1

 

[tommykins]

its a game of mentality from here on out.

 

[lychnobity]

its a game of mentality from here on out.

Based on Federer's unforced errors, and tendency to hit over the baseline, he's going to lose.

EDIT1: Roddick still hasn't dropped a set

EDIT2: Score has reached 6-6. Roddick looks more in the right mindset to win. Federer massively over-hitting some easy balls. The match isn't as exciting as it should be, both players are just trying to hammer aces down the line.

In the time it took me to write that, score has reached 7-6 Fed's way. Roddick to serve.

 

[lychnobity]

Roddick seems more calm. Not quite a mental advantage as my posts seem to make it out to be. It's more of Federer having sub par mental stability, while Roddick is just grounding away steadily.

Score is at 8-7, Federer's way. Roddick to serve.

NB: A-Rod serve yet to be broken, goddammit

EDIT: Fed's heavily pregnant wife looks like she's going to have a mental breakdown lol

8-8, Fed to serve. None of them are really taking matters into their own hands. They're both playing so they won't lose, not to win.

EDIT2: Roddick on 2 break points. Federer in trouble.

EDIT3: Federer served his way out of it. Score now 9-8

EDIT4: FFS Roddick keeps making half baked attempts at aggression, and Federer just calmly takes crappy shots. FAR OUT. Would one of them just start asserting some dominance?!

Currently, 9-9, 30-15, Federer's way & serve.

 

[tommykins]

fed does indeed have the advantage serving first thing set

 

[kazoospasm]

It's starting to get ridiculous

 

[lychnobity]

lol any aspect in particular?

Personally, the no. aces/game and boring-ness of the match is killing me

Currently 13-12, Roddick's serve, Fed's way.

No. aces:
Federer- 100
Roddick - 71

 

[tommykins]

im surprised roddick hasn't choked serving second and hence being the 'defender'

 

[kazoospasm]

lol any aspect in particular?

Match Duration: 250 minutes.
Also, ditto your point about the aces, interesting rallies are almost non-existent.

 

[lychnobity]

EDIT: not the game where Roddick gets broken. 14-15, deuce, Roddick's serve. Fed's way.

Am about to murder someone.

EDIT: FINALLY, FUCKING CHAMPIONSHIP POINT!!!

Easy giveaway by Roddick though, what kind of shot was that? If anything, he fucking choked.

Final score: 5-7 7-6 7-6 3-6 16-14
