2019 Wimbledon Championships

[Bodowned 671]

Every Fedal match could be the last match we ever see them play against one another. I'm gonna try to cherish it.

Andy/Serena out. 

[IPoopOnWhoop 93]

I’m actually surprised that Nadal (-130) is a favorite in Vegas over Fed (+110).  Imo, Rafa has played better during the tournament, but this is possibly Fed’s best chance to win another slam.  I am cautiously optimistic about Rafa’s chances, but don’t see any way that this isn’t a close match.

Novak is fucking -1250. Can’t imagine there’s been many Slam semis higher.

The courts at Wimbledon are too slow now. People are calling it 'green clay' pejoratively, the surface is dry and the bounce is really high this year. Suits Nadal a lot.

Simona makes easy work out of Svitolina to reach the finals. I believe Spy said it best that Svits just can’t win 7 matches in a row in a grand slam..... ever.

Halep is gonna run Serena to death

I hope so!

Djokovic up a set in the first semifinal, but RBA is serving for the second. Could be interesting.

[IPoopOnWhoop 93]

Every Fedal fan on earth is a big Bautista Agut fan right now

[satyanash 14276]

Djokovic gets the well-earned break of serve in the 3rd. His court positioning is masterful, RBA's hitting great strokes but Djokovic's just wearing him down and using the slow surface to his advantage.

[satyanash 14276]

HOLY SHIT what a BP save by Djokovic!!

[satyanash 14276]

 

[satyanash 14276]

Very slow Centre Court, strong winds... feels like everything's pointing towards a Nadal victory unfortunately 😥

 

[satyanash 14276]

First missed BP chance for Federer... this set looks headed for a tiebreak

[SameSame 1691]

Not a ground breaking opinion, but the challenge system in tennis is ridiculous.

I don't like it in any sport, but in tennis especially where you can look at replay within 10 seconds and tell if it's clearly in or out.  Just look at it, make the call and move on.  To have challenges or limit the looks is asinine.

[satyanash 14276]

Goddamn it, Federer shanks another forehand!

[satyanash 14276]

Are. You. Fucking. Kidding. Me. 

Federer had that point won twice, how the hell did Nadal get to that?

That was some awesomeness

[satyanash 14276]

Unbelievable. Nadal hits the line twice to win the minibreak

[nycHorn 2958]

Fuck. Yes. Fed.

[satyanash 14276]

Federer with the minibreak, set point!

[AbeFroman 2107]

Rogahh!

These guys are pretty good.

[satyanash 14276]

Huge start for Federer. Right now his serve and forehand are clicking beautifully

[DigDug 1649]

How long ago was it that guys switched from sweat bands to full on karate kid head bands?

[nycHorn 2958]

Huge hold.

[SameSame 1691]

I predict we're going 5, and somebody is going to win 11-9 in the 5th.

[SameSame 1691]

Nadal just ran a quarter mile on that point

[nycHorn 2958]

Dammit. Come on Fed.

[nycHorn 2958]

Dammit. Come on Fed.

Oooof. This is crazy. Federer needs to regroup and settle.

[AbeFroman 2107]

That was obvious Roger was done with that.  Said let's save energy and start over in the 3rd.

[DigDug 1649]

I just found Roy Orbison. He's changed sexes, gained 80 lbs and is calling the center line at Wimbledon.

[DigDug 1649]

Drinking in the booth, I like their style.

[PittsburghTiger 6136]

I remember how unreal I thought it was when Sampras won his 14th major and then the next season Federer won his first.

These three guys, Federer, Nadal and Djokovic, are incredible. Just think if one of them were not around what the numbers for the other two would be.

[AbeFroman 2107]

Feddy baby!

Somebody would have 30 majors

[HoustonFrog 368]

Nadal is playing his worst match of Wimbledon so far. Federer isn’t playing his best match, but not awful

[satyanash 14276]

Alright, back from my meeting. Who's looking like they have the advantage?

Federer. Nadal’s forehand has been awful today

[satyanash 14276]

Shit. Federer will have to serve for the set.

[satyanash 14276]

Come onnnnn, Federer... one more!!

[satyanash 14276]

Damn. Nadal holds with an incredible forehand despite getting only one first serve in.

Starting to look ominous...

[SameSame 1691]

Nadal working and pumping it up.  This is damn good sports television.

[HoustonFrog 368]

Nadal working and pumping it up.  This is damn good sports television.

Past two games have been really good

[HoustonFrog 368]

Probably the match right there. Lucky day for Federer, Nadal has played horribly. Credit to Fed for taking advantage of opportunities

 

[satyanash 14276]

Federer draws first blood in the 4th! Can he back up the break?

Edited July 12, 2019 by satyanash

[SameSame 1691]

We're at 3-2 Fed in the 4th. Fed up 2 -1

Nadal has to break one of these last two and hold 

 

[satyanash 14276]

Nadal is going to throw everything he has at Federer now. This is the most critical stage in the match for Federer, he can't fold now.
