That tackle that finally knocked him over was a beauty. Better than anything we saw from the Broncos on Friday night.

Obviously the dude wasnt french otherwise that sheet/flag/whatever he was holding would have been white and not red.

Jeez Fed would like that 1st deuce point back I reckon.
Tiebreak here we come.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Gone.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Three aces. Wtf can you do.

2 points from the match effectively. Come on Feds

 

[Simon]

Woot! Go Roger

Got to love Fed's ability to step it up a gear at crucial moments.
awesome

Federer using the drop shot to great advantage in this match..and now has the second set....

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Would probably have beaten Roddick 7-1 in that breaker. Insane.

Haha, AWTA.

Did the same against Delpedro in the 2nd set tie-breaker..... won 7-2 or something. Delpedro was gunning until that moment... Roger just stepped it up a little in the tie-breaker.

Fed has been playing great, inface a lot better than the second set score suggested.

Great Serve, Drop shots, forehands, backhands, even one volley ..basically eveything that you wanna watch.

Looked out to me, but hey, cant see it making a huge difference in this match.

Soderling is just awful with occasional brilliant shots.

Soderling is just awful with occasional brilliant shots.

Should get some credit for that second set. Poor returns, admittedly.

 

[Simon]

Soderling is just awful with occasional brilliant shots.

Bit harsh, hes beaten some class players with good tennis this week. He's being schooled by the greatest of all time. No shame.

 

[Burgey]

Vintage Fed here in that breaker. 4 aces FFS. And now a break in the 3rd. Looks all but over.

What's the background of the Rafa - Soderling feud out of interest?
