Australian Open

4-1 now. I'm almost sorry for Federer, he looks very unsettled and not himself. Nole's been very good mind you, well done for not being overawed by the occasion
 
4-1 up?

I'm not near a TV, what's the deal here, Federer having a bad day,? Or Novak simply too good, dong a Tsonga?

Well, i guesshe better turn up and sharpish, or it'll be Fedexit befroe he knows it eh.

Tsonga was all over Nadal last night, Rafeal had no answer. While Nole's been very good tonight, it's more Federer losing than Novak winning. Roger is not playing his normal game at the moment, he's been quite hesitant at times

Federer is having a bad day, not sharp, no inspiration, making it quite easy for Nole.

Djokovic is not playing his best tennis either although he had a few really good shots and his forehand is good, but it looks he is doing just the minimum against a weak Federer..
 
5:2 for Nole and Federer serving.

I he takes the 5:3 Nole could beat him on the next game on his serves.

Nole's serves aren't posing that much of a threat to Roger (there have been a few aces mind you). Federers just taking the game; 5-3. He's gaining momentum now, this next game is crucial!
 
2:0 Djokovic!

Last time Roger lost two sets in a row was two years ago.

What is Federer going to do now, win three sets in a row? Tough game for him.

If Nole loses this, he's a dork.
 
Federer's 'amazing' baseline game looks proper average against true baseliners in long ralleys... as usual.

You always get the feeling he'll be the first with an unforced error.

Like Sampras, he'll have to count on short rallies finishing them quick with a strong forehand or depend on free points on his first serve.
 
Federer needs a miracle. His usual good movement looks sluggish now and his backhand, like Sampras, is non-existant when playing against a great baseliner under pressure (they only hit winners with it when it's time for the partytricks and pressure free... or a passing shot when they have a target to aim at and where precision is more important than power).

he's looking much better this set than in the first two. He's now retaining set and putting pressure on Novak's. If he can get this set then he's right back in it.
 
What's hapenning in the third set? I can't watch it.
