I think it said he's only lost 4 or 6 times. And I know Tsonga has beaten him twice.

Fed just broke him, serving to go up 4-1. Would be huge

It's just amazingly fun to watch Fed play tennis. Dude never gets riled or overcome by the situation.

This French guy hung tough a lot longer than I expected. He was solid through 3 games in the 5th even.

He's basically only lost to the big hitters outside of the top 3. Delpo, Tsonga, Berdych, and Soderling are all guys who can just crush the ball when they're on.

Fed needs to take these next two days off and regroup. He has to play significantly better than this to take advantage of Rafa being out

And it's like he never runs or sweats. It looks like he just glides.

Boat is out of this as complete biased.

Bobby, TTF, and the rest of the Hitler Youth, if you have a gun to your head on bulldog Ferrer vs. grass court Roddick, what do you do?

I looked at their head to head earlier and was surprised that Roddick beat Ferrer at the US Open last year. Completely forgot about that

Yeah that match was rain delayed a bunch of times and they ended up finishing on court 73 or something with 50 seats.

Ferrer's never been past the 4th round at Wimbledon. I think this is a pretty even match in all honesty.

Unfortunately I can't watch the match live so I'll have to watch it later in the day. That's why I won't be posting during it.

There was a problem with the court and Roddick was bitching out the tournament referees. Basically was saying he would play that bitch anywhere, he just wanted to play. Then went out and whipped Ferrer's arse. Definitely one of the most bad arse moments in Roddick's career. This is stuck in my head because I was so excited for his match against Nadal after that. Did not last long at all

Well he ain't gliding as fast as he needs to be gliding. Something was off with Fed today, and it nearly cost me a shitload of money. Fed's M.O. in these last two years is that there are (a) two players who will simply expose him every time they play, there are (b) three or four other players who can beat him if they play really well, and (c) he will beat the living dogshit out of everybody else.

This was the first time portion (c) turned out to be a false statement. Thank God he won that match. Else I would be a very very angry man for more than a day or two.
