**** off Del Potro. He's returning Fed's serve from Belgium he's standing that far back. Man up and get on the baseline FFS.

Seems to be working for him though.

Superb serving performance from him so far.

 

[Burgey]

This is a ****ing joke. How can Fed lose 2 sets to this muppet?

Dire.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Hopefully someone finally makes Federer pay for playing like **** all tournament.

 

[Burgey]

First break point since 4th game of the match.

 

[Burgey]

Come on Rog!!

Breaks then holds for 4-1 in the 4th

 

[vogue]

Federer breaks him in the fourth,and is playing better at this point...needs to keep this up...and he goes 4-1 up...

 

[Burgey]

Del Potro really gone off the boil here the last few games. Has served do well all match.

Will be interesting to see if he can re-group here. He's played a blinder til now.

Rogie with a double break here now.

 

[vogue]

Federer should take the fourth now..

and he does...

 

[pasag]

Great stuff.

 

[Burgey]

Federer should take the fourth now..

And does.

**** I love Fed. I'd seriously consider turning for him. No other man can keep me up all night like Rogie.

 

[Burgey]

Breaks in the 5th but down 0-30

 

[Burgey]

Del Potro has fair dinkum thrown thr anchor out here. Needs to go back to having a crack if he's to be a show.

Federer going 3-1 up here....if he wins this match he will seriously have to improve against Soderling...

In some ways yeah, but I don't see how Soderling, or anyone for that matter could serve any better than Del Potro did in the first three sets here.

Maybe they could serve as well, but hard to imagine better.

 

[pasag]

Bout time the real Federer showed up.

 

[vogue]

Soderling has a great forehand tho...and to be fair,if Federer was playing consistently at his best,I wouldnt even think Soderling would bother him,but he is just not consistently good...

Not out of the woods yet - 0-30 down here

And Del Potro breaks back!! Has found his mojo again.

 

[pasag]

Crap, game on.

 

[vogue]

3-3... if Federer was playing at his best,we wouldnt even be in a fifth set...

Indeed.

0-30 on DP serve now

And he breaks.

**** these have been two weird semis. Great viewing though.
