Federer only won 4 games in the 2008 final. Almost 40 years old now.
I wouldn't think it's that unlikely tbh.

You selectively pick the one match he was hammered. What about the other 4 matches at Roland Garros in 05, 06, 07 and 11 where they all went to 4 sets?

Good start for Konta in her semi final match. Conditions look brutal.

Dirkziggler

Anisimova from 5 2 down Barty serving for it now 5 6 up serving for set

Dirkziggler

Barty chokes a set and Konta doing a good job of it too

Anisimova was 5-0 down in that set and came back and won it.

josip

Anisimova killing Barty with the drop shots.

Floppybits

Konta loses the first set.

Dirkziggler

C'mon on girls. Great job so far haha

Floppybits

Barty lost 16 points in a row.

Floppybits

Barty now wins 5 games in a row after being 3-0 down in the second set. Anismova now serving to stay in the set

Dirkziggler

Konta gone

Floppybits

Anisimova on the way out as well.

Yeah I'd both underdogs in a double today ha nearly got it

Nadal has broken Federer in his first service game.
Court seems half empty.
Although the upper sections are fuller

Rob2D

They're playing in a dust storm right now. It's crazy.

josip

1 game to Federer.
EagererBeaver's 9 games or less bet will keep my interest in what otherwise is a pretty foregone conclusion

josip

Federer breaks back.

Dirkziggler

This has potential to be a great game possibly 5 setter. If Roger keeps pushing him deep

Roger is playing well ,backhand is holding up well .
Not sure how Nadal won that first set, Federer played the better tennis.

I agree. Think Nadal looks a shadow of what is required to win RG at the minute.

Played well for the first half of the set but was very passive in the last few games. Thought he would be doing a lot more serving and volleying.

Doesnt work aswell on the clay as on clay players stand way back of the baseline on receiving so send it long it's alot harder to volley on a heavy clay court with the distance quite far off the net.

Dirkziggler

Now go Roger go go go

josip

Broke Nadal in the 2nd, 2-0 up and serving.
(That's 5 games to Federer )

Yeah but he's been doing it all tournament to great effect.

A little against Rafa I'd imagine though haha

Can play be suspended due to wind or just rain?

Wind can suspend it on player request and agreed

MisterAnarchy

Roger will have to win this set to have a chance.
Ah Roger you clown ,40-0 up and you blow it.
