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.

Our announcers suck, they just say "ooh" and "ahh" a lot.

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.

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
