Kallichore Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Aye. I was meant to be at the gym a while ago but I seem to have been riveted to my seat. Damn you Federer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoë Sumra Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 It strikes me that Federer hasn't broken Roddick all match, and A-Rod's broken Fed's serve twice. Admittedly Roddick is looking less than stellar right now, whereas Federer looks like he's barely started the match. But still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLU-RAY Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Ouch. Two break points for Roddick, but Fed's serve is pretty ridiculous. This is an epic match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commodore Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 it looked to me like Roddick got screwed on both those machine overrulesIt doesn't help that the company whose name is on the line caller (Rolex) is also a sponsor of Federer, not that I can see any way for the machine to favor someone.

Zoë Sumra Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Two sets all, twelve games all, fifteen all. This feels like a blinking contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altherion Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Has there ever been a match that went to more than 12 points in the final set? At this point, they've played the equivalent of 6 sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mozza Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 11-9 was the previous longest Edit: In a grand slam that is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljkeane Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Whatever the result you have to give a massive amount of credit to Roddick for coming out and playing so well against a guy who has beaten him so often, it would have been very easy for him to not really believe he had a chance but clearly he has managed to overcome that.

Im really impressed by Roddick, in both the Murray match and this. I actually hope he wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoë Sumra Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Google's given me a doubles match that went to 28-26 in the final set and a singles match at the French Open that went to 16-14. As I type, this match is at 15-14 in Fed's favour, still on serve... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeor Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Actually, the longest Grand Slam fifth set is 21-19, at the Australian Open (2003) between El Aynaoui and...Andy Roddick. But this is probably the longest fifth set for a Grand Slam Final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLU-RAY Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Ugh. Gutted for Roddick, he played an absurd match. He'll be thinking about that second set tiebreak for a long time, poor guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
