[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] wrt challenges (our commentator thought he might challenge there). I've noticed that when it gets close, Federer likes to save his challenges for his own first serve on key points. Even if it's out, he tends to then serve the second serve very quickly afterwards. Just thought I'd mention this in case it comes up again, rather than aftertime it. Lori [/ QUOTE ] Our announcers suck, they just say "ooh" and "ahh" a lot. [/ QUOTE ] I wish I knew more about tennis. It's obvious to me that Gonzalez is taking the pace off the ball, it's not so obvious as to how this helps level things up. Lori [/ QUOTE ] Definitely seems like he's trying to force Federer into errors by hitting that deep slice backhand. Not sure if thats what you're referring to. I hardly watch tennis and don't understand strategy much. :P |

i'm not sure that any strategy which is based on getting federer to hit errors has a chance, but if he can throw in some change-ups it may give him an opportunity to set up some winners

match is to three sets. if its tied at 6, they just go back and forth to 6 iirc. but yes, must win by two prior to that.

this match has started sensationally. neither player is on top of their game, and it's still a very enjoyable match to watch. that bodes really well.

Have to win by two, tiebreak at 6-6 (where the first to 7 wins... but have to win that by 2 points) Final set you have to win by two whatever. Lori |
