Roger might have just blown it.

 

[darthska]

JESUS, this opening set!

 

[kdawg]

Gonna be a long day if every set is like this.

Djokovic ha the advantage of youth the longer it goes.

 

[thadangerousmind]

My heart damn near jumped out of my chest that last point!

 

[darthska]

Betterer

 

[illmaticsoulchild]

2 more to go.. Djoker let up just enough for Fed to get ahead. Hopefully there's no let down after winning the first set.

 

[eiddyfouw]

The quality on display right now

 

[thadangerousmind]

Break down Novak. That's what we all want.

 

[kdawg]

Fed has only lost one service game the whole tournament. Hard to beat that.

 

[illmaticsoulchild]

First game hold by Federer was huge.

 

[thadangerousmind]

Get it together Roger or figure out how to exploit the injury. No such thing as a fair fight.

 

[thadangerousmind]

Roger has to start taking his shots. I hate this timid, cautious style of play.

King Dave & Sam L J

 

[thadangerousmind]

Quad aces for Fed. God mode activated.

 

[supervi11ain]

federer just aced an entire game

 

[sohi 23]

This is some amazing stuff.

 

[thadangerousmind]

Fed keeps blowing it. The Novak mistakes are few and far between now.

 

[illmaticsoulchild]

That's the match. Even if Rog wins the 4th, no tiebreakers in the 5th. It was a good run, Novak is just playing well enough to win.

 

[oneilmatt]

Finally the wait for another GS is looking over for my man Novak.

 

[thadangerousmind]

Good job, good effort Federer. Looks like 17 is it.

 

[thadangerousmind]

Even with the break back I'm not confident smh.

 

[kdawg]

What a way to break back. Not out of it yet.

 

[firepower]

Great break back by Fed though, not over yet.

 

[richiemcfly]

Wow didn't expect fed to get a break point back

 

[thadangerousmind]

Federer's forehand just hasn't been devastating this match at all.
