Yep, plus Murray's record of getting to finals and semis is far greater than Stan's.
I put a bet on Federer to win 3-0 and him to serve at least one ace in every service game. Has Federer got the aces so far?
Hope so as Federer is riding his confidence at the moment. I really don't like bringing Cilic back into the match.
Neither player hit a serve in the first set I think.
Gotta feel for Cilic, I really thought he would bring his A game to upset Federer and or at least push him to 5 sets but never did I expect this match to be so one-sided.
Federer toying with cilic.
I wanted Federer to win but this is sad to see.
Not the case. Neither got ace 1st set.
What were the odds on that? It sounds like a highly improbable thing to happen.
It's always sad to see, but last year Fed was in the exact same position as Cilic now vs Raonic.
His foot looks grim
Silly bet.
If Cilic is badly hurt and has taken anti-inflammatories just to get through the match, even though he probably thinks he's going to lose anyway, I guess you have to respect a guy hanging in there, trying, at the very least.
Congrats mate, I wanted to place a bet on that as well, saw the odds at 2.1 and thought it was well worth one but I really thought Cilic would take at least one set.
Edit: My bad I didn't read your second part.
Federer at 35 looks as good as ever. Absolute legend.
Was 80/1 I think
His bet had Federer serving at least an ace for every game. On other words, he decided to make a donation.
No doubt. Only put a few quid on it
It hasn't affected his serve that much is clear.
Federer helpless!
(in this game)
(in this game)
Did Federer seriously only lose TWO points in his own serve in the second set? That's just ridiculous.
I feel so sad for Cilic. Credit to Cilic for at least finishing the match. Cilic is risking his hard-court season with every point he plays.
Cilic Cilic Cilic.
Some signs of life for Cilic. 2 good rallies.
Who?
Čorić.
Fed still needs to be careful. Adrenaline and painkiller may prove a potent concoction.
Yeah right. You doing cartwheels with your bet.
Fed isn't dropping a service game let alone a set.
Cilic doesn't look too injured to me. Probably just playing the sympathy card with the tears.
You think he'd sit there bawling his eyes out in front of tens of thousands of people (let alone the millions around the world) just to win some sympathy? Ok.
If Fed wins the US open then I can see him retiring. Would be a great way to go out. 20 slams and 3 in a year.
Federer looks like has another few gears he can go up to if he needs it.
I doubt that he us gonna retire though. He's playing the best tennis in at least the last 5 years, he can surely win some other trophies next year and widen the gap between him and Nadal.
He looks younger than Nadal and Djokovic despite that he is 5-6 years older.
I'm being genuine and either way, it's a win-win situation for me. If Federer loses, I get to see the most dislikeable fanbase in melt-down. Money can always be earned back and I make this back in 2 days anyway, no big deal.
Already pledged to come back to Roland Garros next year but of course that's no guarantee.
I can't see why he'd retire at a time when he's the best player on the tour, though.
