NFT: Wimbledon Semifinal/Finals thread

dep026 : 7/12/2019 9:29 am
Figure we can combine the 2-3 days into one thread. Bautista serving for the second to make the match interesting.

Nadal-Federer next. I think Nadal in 4, he's just playing better than Roger this tournament.

Novak in 4  
Andy in Halifax : 7/12/2019 10:46 am : link
Nadal in 4.

Djokovic in 5.

Hoping the Fed Nadal match is epic, but I just don't see Federer as sharp as Nadal right now.
Both men serving unreal

Fed  
dep026 : 7/12/2019 12:10 pm : link
just seems to so many unnecessary unforced errors. Ha a chance to break, but Nadal holds.
Fed really needs thhis first set  
dep026 : 7/12/2019 12:18 pm : link
his serve has been absolutely spectacular. But a tie break can go either way.
Can someone post a video link to Fed/Nadal  
FranknWeezer : 7/12/2019 12:21 pm : link
I must be having a day, b/c I'm on wimbledon.com and am only seeing highlights of Djok's match and can't find the main event! Thanks!

Fed played a perfect first set. Wins tie breaker. Keep it up!
Nadal takes charge of the 2nd set  
dep026 : 7/12/2019 1:00 pm : link
Federer serve is leaving him this set. Cant get a first serve in. Blows two break points. Got to get back to how he played in the first set. Way too many bad shots by Fed this set.
This match could get ugly soon  
dep026 : 7/12/2019 1:07 pm : link
everything Andy and I talked about in the other thread is coming to fruition. Poor returns by Fed, unforced errors galore, and just looks terrible now. Terrible set by Federer. Nadal has all the momentum.

I think Fed dialed down a notch (or two!) once that 2nd set looked hopeless. He looks a bit refreshed in the 3rd.
Fed up 3-1 in the 2nd..

Awesome hold by Federer  
dep026 : 7/12/2019 1:30 pm : link
some great rallies between the two. Fed has the break in the 3rd. Great tennis this set by both.
4-1! Keep it up, Roger

After every point he wins.
Fed breaks Nadal  
dep026 : 7/12/2019 2:03 pm : link
Gotta just hold your serve now.
Nadal  
MattyKid : 7/12/2019 2:13 pm : link
having a tough time seeing Fed's shots.
Come on Fed  
dep026 : 7/12/2019 2:24 pm : link
One more!
That challenges was... unfortunate

Ok Fed  
dep026 : 7/12/2019 2:33 pm : link
Forget about that. Concentrate on your serve and end this.
Jesus Nadal

You're not kidding. A few unforced errors, but both of them, in that game, but the last few points were battles. Great performance by Fed, great fight put up by Nadal. Onto Djoker.
This is fantasic  
Andy in Halifax : 7/12/2019 2:44 pm : link
Two fucking champs slugging it out.

And there it is. Great, great, finish to that match
Love it, Fed!  
speedywheels : 7/12/2019 2:47 pm : link
So many people have been counting him out. And not many even gave him a chance today.

Go get one more Major, Roger...
well there goes that bet  
Jints in Carolina : 7/12/2019 2:50 pm : link

Wow a great job by Fed  
Metnut : 7/12/2019 2:51 pm : link
today. Would love to see him win another major but he's facing an even tougher and younger opponent in the final. Can't wait to watch and see if he can pull it off.
ultra high-level tennis  
Alan in Toledo : 7/12/2019 2:59 pm : link
Fed-Nadal, that is
Such an entertaining match. The guys are so even in talent  
yatqb : 7/12/2019 4:17 pm : link
that it's always a great match unless they're playing on clay.

Pretty brutal start for Serena.  
Mad Mike : 7/13/2019 9:19 am : link
She needs to get in gear in a hurry.
Halep has been unreal  
dep026 : 7/13/2019 9:56 am : link
Last two matches.
Halep deserves the title

Ridiculous performance

Halep is a player known for meltdowns in big moments so it's stunning she beat Serena 6-2, 6-2 on grass. Who does that?
LOL

Nicholas Mahut is getting fucking pummeled in one of the best doubles matches ever. Poor guy haha

On the nut shot is a classic meme.
Got another great clash brewing here

Federer looks sharp. Great bet play. Joker all around fantastic, as always.
Fed needs this set  
dep026 : 7/14/2019 9:58 am : link
Playing too well too lose it.
Federer blows two chances  
dep026 : 7/14/2019 10:03 am : link
For mini breaks. Can’t miss those and now an unforced error.

Federer blows the tie break  
dep026 : 7/14/2019 10:10 am : link
7 unforced errors in the tie break leads to all of Novak’s points. Loses last 4 points of the tie break. Lot of them just careless.

Novak has control now and I doubt Fed will recover. He needed that set.

And of course Fed  
dep026 : 7/14/2019 10:14 am : link
Breaks Novak to start the 2nd. Makes me look silly.
Novak looks didferent  
dep026 : 7/14/2019 10:24 am : link
Since that fall... Federer in control of second set.
Quick second set helps Federer  
Andy in Halifax : 7/14/2019 10:41 am : link
That was big.
This is a helluva match

Federer is going to lose this match  
dep026 : 7/14/2019 11:23 am : link
Without losing his serve. Hate tie breakers.
Oh boy

Cmon roger. Hold serve all the way  
Andy in Halifax : 7/14/2019 11:49 am : link
I want a 5th set.
Don't know who to be rooting for...
