John, Keep going

Federer out on Ashe dressed all in BLACK!
black top
black shorts
black shoes
black socks
black bandana

Federer holds serve to start the match.

1-0* Rog

I'm not too good at point-by-point descriptions plus can't watch and type simultanously so anyone else can feel free to be more detailed, I'll just chime in with game summaries and score updates.

Federer's slice is killing Capdeville, he's keeping it ridiculously low

Capdeville currently at deuce trying to hold, Roger misses bh for GP but the Chilean misses into net. Deuce 3 now and CapD makes the fh error after a brief rally for BP but saves as Fed misses BH DTL. Yet another BP and Roger finally converts for 2-0.

Federer with a backhand cross-court passing shot
*2-0

This is going quickly now, Fed holds easily for 3-0.

3-0*
Federer is playing really well, moving much better than his first round match

Fed's forehand looks pretty good so far but his backhand still hasn't comeback. If Capdeville keeps playing at this level Fed should have no worries.

BTW I'm loving the all-black ensemble :cool:

Federer... looks... crazed.


Stay tuned for some point-by-point.

From 40-15 to deuce for CapDeville now...

Manages to hold for 1-3.

Fed leads 3-0 Capdev to serve...

15-0
30-0 - unreturned serve
30-15 - a casual and gorgeous dtl backhand by Federer/.. my word these shots look different in black.
40-15 - running forehand goes long
40-30 - Cap goes for too much on a BH
40-40 - UE
A-40 - DTL FH JUST goes long off the first serve
game - unreturned 1st serve.

*3-1

I'm currently at work and don't have livescore.

it will be much appreciated if anyone can update point by point.

cheers

The black ensemble is GREAT!

0-15 - UE on a running FH
15-15 - Cap tries to really attack FEds second serve, Fed deals with it well and constructs a beautiful point with a stellar inside out forehand followed by a BH down the line.
30-15 - reasonably aggressive rally ends with an UE
40-15 - CC exchange ends in a DTL forehand into the net from the Cap.
GAME - UE just about... Fed casually stroles to his chair..

4-1*

GAME - UE just about... Fed casually stroles to his chair..

Game Federer - unreturned serve

game Cap - Federer smacks a FH but it just goes long.. very much an 'I know I have the break so i'll just give this one a whip and hope it lands in the corner' type of FH...

Federer to serve for the second set *5-4

This is the US Open, no half-arsing it here.

6-1 6-4

Capdeville arguing about a refused challenge, guess he took too long to request it... Oh, and Fed takes the set for a 6-1 6-4 lead :cool:
