6 straight tie breaks between them.
Amazing tennis from both of these guys.
Amazing tennis from both of these guys.
Pathetic crowd. Hope Kyrgios chins one of them.
disgusting crowd
Worst crowd I've seen.
Can someone rename this to 'tennis thread 2007' please.
Crowd won this game.
Nick will be furious.
Nick will be furious.
Typical idiotic American fans.
That was epic. No one flinched for three consecutive sets until the final two points on Kyrgios's serve.
Booing Kyrios off court was bad. I mean the lad is still young it's normal to be frustrated after a match like this. Well done to both was a great, tense match.
Kyrgios has nothing to be worried about. If he plays like that for the next few months he could win Wimbledon.
Obviously he's going to be frustrated, the crowd cost him the match.
Yeah, but has to cool himself down. Especially as an up and comer - most of the time the crowd will be against him.
He has the game, needs to get his head straight and have to say he's improving a lot in that sense. The most impressive youngster of them all.
Absolutely disgusting crowd. They're the reason he lost that point and match. How on earth it's allowed I don't understand.
He reminds me a bit of Ivanesevic - tall, skinny, big serving, hot tempered, a bit mercurial. He'll be a big success imo.
They didn't need to boo there. He was winning comfortably all tournament. He's struggled here and the pathetic crowd has showed up. Feel bad for Nick because they cost him the match at that point.
There's the crowd being against you, then there's them making calls from the sides. That's something even the great players would struggle to cope with, he coped rather well with the booing.
Yeh, he coped well up until the last 2 points.
He couldn't cope with the call from the crowd, who could?
Until some idiot called out and distracted him. It's pathetic really how it happens the entire match and the umpire doesn't do more about it. He's calm enough to have gone and won from there but well it's been the same old shit from crowd all tournament. Can't how bad it's going to get at RG
I don't see how a stupid call from the crowd cost him the match. There have been instances of these through the years even with Federer and Nadal but no one blames the crowd for costing them matches. That's the most ludicrous statement I have heard. Also, he had played the shot by then and it's not like he purposely mishit it because he heard the call. The shot from Federer was deep and he was always going to struggle to return it.
Getting your excuses in rather early for Nadal I see.
Same with Federer in the first set tiebreaker, calling out on a ball near the line, which he lost.
Well what's the umpire supposed to do? He warned the crowd several times, it's not like he can prevent that as you'll see at RG as well.
If the crowd doesn't shut up after repeated warnings, isn't there something can be done? It's a shame really how the crowd is showing themselves as so classless every single match here. This has been more badly behaved than most tournament crowds.
Yeah, stewards should take him out, but tens of thousands screaming at every point it's hard to single guys out. Besides - a rumble in the crowd would make it even worse.
The last few pages are funny. Wr8 get a grip of yourself FFSCrowd helped Federer win? Cheers, lads and ladettes!
What other explanation is there for otherwise decent crowds suddenly turning into double fault cheering, booing jerks? Fed fanboyism apart?Just read this gem
Seems like the only one he brings the worst out of is you!
If Nadal loses to Federer at RG, it's probably time for him to retire anyway.
Blimey, didn't even realise Kyrgios won the second set. Went to sleep when Federer went 5-3 up in the tie break.
Kyrgios has a lot to learn from Roger, especially attitude during matches. Acting like a jerk towards ball kids, cursing, smashing racquets...not sure which crowd would like that.
The big difference is one is a massive bell end, and the other isn't.
You talk as if fans of Nadal don't do the same. I have seen the same many times. Come on, when you go to a match to support a player you want to win you obviously cheer an opponent error. You think it makes crowds jerks if they cheer an unforced error from an opponent?
Exactly, his whole attitude was that of a kid throwing a tantrum. Federer, when he came on the block, was up against the crowd when he faced Agassi or Sampras but I never remember him cursing the crowd, telling them to "shut the feck up". These things will rile the crowd up further.
Federer wasn't really very dissimilar to Kyrgios in his early days. He wasn't exactly known for his composure, dedication and mental strength.
He was nowhere near as much of a punk as Kyrigos who was swearing at the crowd.
Just saying.
Crowd was full of cnuts, as well. I think Kyrgios is a bit of a prick but his attitude yesterday, in particular, is one of the things I can understand.
He was just over exuberant. It was his big chance to enter his first 1000 masters final and he blew it. Crowd was the same for both the players but posters on here saying the crowd won Federer the game is ridiculous as best.
