RG R4: Federer(3) d. Wawrinka(14) 6-3 6-2 7-5

Onto the quarter-finals to face either Monfils (9) or Ferrer (7). Federer won last 10 sets against Swiss number two and is 9-1 career.

28th consecutive QF or better appearance for Federer in Grand Slam tournaments.

We don't give a shit to Federer when we have Fabio Fognini aKa GOAT. Player forum.

Dull match

NID Waw u bender :smash:

Two first sets was JesusFed. The 3rd was a bit sloppy but the end result was NID!

Upset of the year.

Wawrinka. :lol:

as routine as it gets.

28th consecutive QF or better appearance for Federer in Grand Slam tournaments.
Not currently holding any Slams -> stat that matters.

Great serving again. The ace to end the match in a tight game reminded me of the good all days when Fed was doing it all the time.

Expected from Bendwinka. He never fooled me when he led 3-0 and 4-1 in the third. It was all show to make his tank look believable. I guess Olderer will give him his daily treat and walk in a park not to mention an autograph and the privilege to shake his hand after the match :o

too bad one of them had to win

Great fight Stan. Fed looking good though.

what a surprising final score?

Solid first 2 sets from Fed. I the third Shankerer tried to make an appearance but Wawa wouldn´t let him. No surprizes here.

Shocker.

Not currently holding any Slams -> stat that matters.
16>2 Stat that hurts? :awww:

Fog-Monty completely took the attention away from that one, lol)
But still , as I've already said, Fed-Wawa matches are always tough to predict.
In IW they played awesome 2 sets of friggin high quality tennis. And here we unexpectedly came all the distance(all 3 sets).
Reeeaally haaaard to gueeeess

Rogie's 28 consecutive GS QF's is an Open Era record (second is old man Connors with 27 and 3rd is Lendl with just half as many, only 14). Also, Rogie's were in 28 consecutive GSs, Connors skipped a bunch of GSs. The last time Rogie lost before the QF of a GS was in the 2004 FO, 3rd round loss 6-4 6-4 6-4 to a nobody. I say Rogie makes it 30 consecutive GS QFs in a row by the end of 2011, who sees him losing before the QF of W or the USO?

First set was great, second set was relatively ugly in terms of play from Stan. Well done Roger, seven years, incredible :worship:

Allez :yeah:

Two sets of close-to-top-level Federer, at the start of the third Stan caught him napping for a while. Truth be told, Stan also served better during this period. It was however clear from the very start that he wouldn't be able to get more than perhaps one set, but Roger didn't even want to grant him that.
Good job, Rog. Keep it going.

This is very near exactly how I expected it would go. Ferrer can beat Fed, a set in Jesus mode but then looked very beatable by end.

7 RG QF in a row, is that a record?

I know Federer already got the 5xRG SF record and shares the 4xfinal record.

Not currently holding any Slams -> stat that matters.

They are a measure of different things to be honest. With Rafa currently holding 3 slams and Nole going on this incredible unbeaten streak, I don't think anybody is arguing who are the best players on tour as of right at this moment. Fed's 28 consecutive QF or better in Grand Slam tournaments is just a mark of his fantastic consistency.

16>2 Stat that hurts? :awww:
Relevance to this tournament? :wavey:

Fed did what was expected, another QF. It will only get tougher from here on.

Not with his draws.

nice little match here. good exchanges all over the court with Federer in control due to being better with a wider overall game. Should warm the court up for the BIG Djokovic vs Gasquet match. Federer quietly moves on. Contained Stan well from the back of the court

Not currently holding any Slams -> stat that matters.

Hating on the greatest tennis player of the open era, by a nobody over the internet -> you being a pathetic looser -> what matters in real life.

:eek: So you are still a Fedtard? :sad:

Relevance to this tournament? :wavey:
Same as your previous one :confused:

To Good from Goat, people actually think Stan is a good enogh player to beat Fed even without respect and mental mountain to climb :lol: 12 str8 sets in approx 30 min each.....

Not with his draws.

Who do you think can beat Federer before QF in Wimbledon or Usopen?

Give me any name at all....

The last time Rogie lost before the QF of a GS was in the 2004 FO, 3rd round loss 6-4 6-4 6-4 to a nobody.
:confused:
Yuh, like the 3-times French Open champion and former World No.1 Gustavo Kuerten?

7 RG QF in a row, is that a record?

I know Federer already got the 5xRG SF record and shares the 4xfinal record.

I believe it is. He has now also tied with Connors in 8 RG QF appearances and is 1 away from Agassi and Vilas. See the thread in my sig (although it requires updating).

Stan you fucking retard retire already.

:haha:

Missed most of this as I was watching the real GOAT Fognini :lol:. From what I saw Federer was playing well which is always good to see. The result was expected hence most people mainly focused on the Montanes-Fognini match.

Same as your previous one :confused:

That's what I was thinking. Bit of a backfire response.

On your knees, Stan, good puppy :yeah:
Congrats Roger, semis are easily reachable :yeah::worship:

Relevance to this tournament? :wavey:

About as relevant as your point.

Bendislas should be ashamed.

Aren't you also a nobody over the internet?

Winner of 16 Slams -> stat that matters even more :):wavey:

Aren't you also a nobody over the internet?

Yes, I am, that's why I'm not hating on any players. Logic isn't your strongest point, is it? As already pointed out by others.

So when is Fed's real match since this exho obviously doesn't count?

I blame Tsonga for this

Great Win for Roger :worship:

he is yet to lose a set in this tournament!

Well, Ferrer/Mugfils in the QF, Jokeovic/Gasquet in the SF, and Rafa/Sodie/Mugray in the F, the last three matches will likely be tests.

Why are people saying Wawrinka bends over? He is never going to get many games off Rogie anyway.

Nice win, Rogie. Into the quarter-finals for yet another slam :yeah:

The record stats now read

Consecutive Finals - Roger 10
Consecutive SF - Roger 23
Consecutive QF - Roger 28*


:worship::worship::worship::worship:

:worship::worship::worship::worship::worship:

and i'll say something in all honesty - those stats are 10,000 x more important than any of Djokovic's streaks right now

fantastic ownage of that clown Langers

Not currently holding any Slams -> stat that matters.

nope the only stat the matters is the number you end up with when u retire:cool:

Yes, I am, that's why I'm not hating on any players. Logic isn't your strongest point, is it? As already pointed out by others.

:worship:

What a GOAT this Roger. He didn't seem to care, yet he pwned his countryman :worship: Vamos.

What a GOAT this Roger. He didn't seem to care, yet he pwned his countryman :worship: Vamos.

Wawrinka cared on Rogers behalf, that was more than enough.

LOL @ people hating on the GOAT. Prepare for disappointment if you think Monfils or Ferrer is going to keep Federer from the semifinals. He will be plaing Novak in a few days :) I'll admit that Nole is likely to end his run, but you never know...

Federer will win RG.

As expected as expected can be.

should the title be RG: RD 4: [3] Roger Federer d [14] Ben Dover 6-3 6-2 7-5 ...?

Not bad.

As for who could beat Fed before the Wimbledon or USO quarters, it all depends on Del Potro's ranking come the USO.

Interesting. Didn't know that he's got the consecutive record at RG too. Nobody's ever done 7, not bad for a clay mug, eh?

He just *smashed* Connor's record. :wavey: Someone should do an interview.

Not bad.

At USO? Maybe. But Del Potro will not beat Fed at Wimbledon.

as predictable as the sun setting...

This match is more predictable. There's a slight chance of the world ending before the sun sets

At USO? Maybe. But Del Potro will not beat Fed at Wimbledon.

No.

Backside well and truly bared.

Hope Roger makes the final, mind.

Roger was two points from beating peak Delpo in USO09, I fail to see why he would lose to him coming back from injured :shrug:

And at least Stan puts up more of a fight than Rafa's lapdogs Almagro and Verdasco. Check the RG 2008 draw

Apart from the psychological hurdle, Stan faces a pretty bad match-up playing Fed. Fed rushes Stan pretty easily and draws a ton of errors. Today was no different.

:lol: @ the Djokotards in this thread

As if Clownga would have given Fed more trouble than Wawa. Clownga would have never been up a break with his pathetic return of serve. Fed would have beaten him even more easily (see AO 2010 SFs).

They need to fix the draw a little bit so that Spaniards will stop bending over for Nadal, Serbs will stop bending over for Djokovic, and likewise for the only Swiss mug against Federer. This is just sickening.

Did Stan post anything on Twitter yet?

Sounds eerily similar to last year's match :lol:. Stan's got the consistency in slams now, he just needs to have more of a breakthrough. Almost had it at the USO but lost to Youzhny. Then looked great in Australia and lost to Roger easily.

His clay season wasn't good though, so not a bad performance here for him

Expected. :shrug:

For those who said that Stan choked or bendover, take a look at the stats:

http://i51.tinypic.com/1r6ybk.jpg

When was him in the position of winning the match? :shrug:

:lol: @ the Djokotards in this thread

Hilarious considering how Troicki has bent over about 5 times for Novak in the last two years :lol:

Strategic tank.

Sad to see these two great players meeting so early in a GS. Has to be fixed. Someone doesn't like the Swiss players at all :rolleyes:

Federer would do himself a favour to exit in the quarter final and give himself longer to prepare on grass for a grand slam he could actually win, Wimbledon.

I don't often disagree with your DrJules, but isn't that pretty much like the school of thought which says Fed should have lost in rounds prior to meeting Nadal on clay, so his H2H would have been exemplary?

Unfortunately I've missed the 3rd set thanks to German Eurosport, who were broadcasting a Final Four tournament in handball instead of this(who gives a crap about handball?).
What I saw in the first two sets was very good, Federer showed some decent strokes and several sick GodLike shots.
Wawrinka lost in the lockeroom as usual though.

nid.

Lol... Guga is even more of an RG legend than Federer, and it was 4th round.

Roger's been playing quite well this FO. Olderer has been no more, at least for the moment.

Wawrinka is useless against the best players in the world :o

the king is not dead, please don't call him olderer, coz i hate people to call rafa this name when he gets old :fiery:

Congrats to Roger on this great achievement. :hatoff:

You must spread some more rep before giving it to Acer again. :worship::worship::worship::worship:

there was an interview with wawrinka on eurosport, like that one in the backseat of the car on the road to the venue, I think. and it was pretty nice, wawa is a chilled, relaxed guy with a decent sense of humor (he asked monfils to show some pity next time they practice)... and than came the question regarding fed, and there it was - the losers mentality all over his face, and our screen. check it out, good view for sport psychologists.

he did put in a solid effort for a set and a half. it was quite obvious where this match was going regardless of what he does.

Yeah, really a pity that he admires his fellow countryman and friend that happens to be the best to ever pick up a racquet, why doesn't he hate on him, really a pity...
