Federer Loks Like He Wants To Quit

[JJGOLD]

Very close to calling it a day as the Agassi pressure is getting to him

Looks like an upset

 

[Ari Gold]

Federer could be tanking the match for the sport's benefit.


No one cares when he wins a slam but if Agassi wins this it will be all over every news show all next week and carry interest into '06 for Agassi and the USTA.

yah im sure federer would give up the $1.1 million prize money to see the sport thrive. lol

 

[GreenDoberman]

Certainly not playing like a 7/1 favorite.

 

[Willy Loman]

Tanking it.

Who is to say the difference of 3 to 400K from winning to 2nd isn't being made up elsewhere? Agassi 8 straight losses to him and back to back 5 setters and now just some shot of lightning and youth pops up on a Sunday evening? Federer hears all the time how boring the sport is because he's so dominant and the the USTA and TV know it as well. I'm rooting for Andre just as 99% of the world watching it is.

Geez Federer is looking like a dead dog and reels off 4 straight points to get his break back.

 

[JJGOLD]

The Agassi factor is why he is over hitting

He has to make perfect shots to get points

Andre playing better than he ever did

 

[GreenDoberman]

Agreed, this third set is HUGE!

 

[JJGOLD]

Doberman even mac said it

He is flat out choking

unreal

 

[coconutman]

Go Agassi! Wow what a match... You can see that Agassi is tired but Federer keeps on making mistakes which a keeping Agassi in the game.

 

[GreenDoberman]

Agassi showing heart and guts. Unbelievable, holding off those break points.

 

[GreenDoberman]

Fed just too good, Andre will get crushed in this tiebreak.

 

[The General]

Sure is fun to watch. :cocktail

 

[GreenDoberman]

yup, great effort by Andre, but that's all she wrote. Put the rest of my interactives on Fed for a cheap 7% gain.

 

[JJGOLD]

FED is an animal

Andre played great too

 

[coconutman]

Well it was a good one. Federer is just too good.

Reality Check

Reality Check

Good to see tennis is still on the up and up for slams but no one will talk about it now.


Now the only time it's fixed will be when guys tank mid season tournaments in the first round after they make their mandatory appearance and want time off.

[THE SHRINK]

It as GREAT to see an old man like AGASSI reach the FINALS!!!! :+thumbs-2

 

[JJGOLD]

Agassi has lost very little off his game

Lets face it if Roger was not in final Agassi would of won

 

[coconutman]

Only way Roger would possibly miss the final is the whole U.S Open was played on clay.
