For the first time that I can remember, Federer looks really tired. Not going for some shots that he would normally go after. And below 50 percent on first serves????? Missing shots by one foot or more wide?

Very abnormal for the robot from Sweden.

This is indeed a damn good match, and EarlJam, I agree with your assessment of Roger. I also share your sentiments about him. I also think that whether or not you like him, you have to afford him the respect due a transcendent champion.
I respect his prowess. Man has just been a machine. But his earlier display has all but sealed the deal for me. He's an asshole.

Congrats to Del Potro and that wicked forehand.

That said, I generally root against him, in the interest of new blood if nothing else.

You are about to get your wish. Congrats to Del Potro.

Federer's wasted.
According to ILJ, CNNSI initially reported that Federer won it. That was at around 830PM or so. It's been reported accurately since I've looked there. If it's true that they misreported it, WHAT A GAFFE!!

It was neat to see Vilas there.
