  1. Sad to watch how Berdych missed that shot at 40-30 5-2 Fed.

    Crowd pulling hard for Fed to break again here.

  2. Oh maria he’s just been broken! Federer’s gonna win this now. But Thomas has done well you’re right

  3. So that’s it. Berdych so predictable. Always manages to choke at the worst moment.

    He has the game but can never be a contender for big tournies.

    Can he fight back now? If he won’t try Fed will wrap the match up in an instant.

    • That is why he has never won a slam .. However let’s be positive he did give Roger a run for his money… It shows he can be beat!

  4. Good challenge from Birdie. Fed’s trying hard to break but still can’t so far.

    Crowd may turn rude any time soon. >_<

  5. Ahh no, after a good patch sth’s getting to Birdie now. He just misses! Might as well hand over the set and the match to Fed.

    The tennis life of Berdych.

    Well, he’s get broken again. So easy to predict.

  6. And now he’s hurt his foot again! Oh no. Yes Vy it’s only polite and muted applause from the crowd for thomas

    • Poor guy. I knew if he’s not injured he would give Fed a good fight this time, might even snatch the match away from him.

      He and Fed have played each other so many times and I guess I’m quite used to the dynamic bt them.

      I didn’t like him at first but have warmed up to him for quite some time.

  7. Great BH DTL from Berdych. He’s playing better and better, finally been given some credit from the commie (one only though LOL).

  8. Oh well done thomas berdych. At least you took a set off the ‘god’. Don’t let him walk all over you in the final set.

      • Great fighting off from Berdych. Fed was on fire trying to break back but Birdie held his nerve well.

        1-1

        Seems like I predict it right so far. :p

  9. Well i suppose we’re dealing with a fickle bunch. In 2015 rafa was finished according to them and Roger was a gonner in 2013 and 2015. And remember how they fawned over novak in 2011 and 2015. If only they could hear themselves! Lol

  10. Yes Vy I’m still here and the awful thing is this is not Roger’s fault – although I know he loves this type of comment about him and carefully reads what people are saying about him etc

  11. Federer is ‘supreme’ now. I’m switching off. Grrrrr they make me sick- now it’s Federer’s artistry and beautiful and disguised. Lol

    • Haha, but it’s true Susie. Berych looked clearly astonished after that disguised shot from Fed. And I have to admit it’s brilliant. He couldn’t get over it and the first set was over in an instant.

      BP for Berdych! But Fed brushed it off like nothing.

    • Susie, regarding Fed’s “lob dropshot” that seems to make everyone admire him so much just now, Rafa has one just as good, but it’s from a charity match (Hit for Haiti, AO 10). Wonder if he’s get inspired by Rafa LOL.

      I bet that particular flashy shot will appear in every highlight and over the Internet very soon.

      • No. Rafa actually played at least one shot just like that or more, I’m trying to remember from which match.

        Berdych fighting off BP again. And he survives! Pls at least make it a match, Birdie.

  12. Rafantastic – congrats on the ladies final with Caroline. Really like her as a player and a person!

  13. Oh i may have to switch Roger’s match off. I’ve just heard the commentators make excuses for a ball he missed and then when he hit one in it was ‘perfection itself’. Yuk

    • Susie, will you consider muting the telly or turning it down so you can just hear the sound of the ball?

      Fed seemed to get a bit irriated after not being able to put the ball away at some points, then of course he upped his game, showing off with his flashy play and the commies started to fawn “How artistry”. 😀

      Good for him. Berdych couldn’t recover in the first set but I think he will calm down and play better in the second.

  14. Congratz also to our danish champ Caroline Wozniacki for reaching the finals. – Well done and good luck 😃👍🏻🎾🍀👱🏻‍♀️🇩🇰
