Federer live on tv?

Anyone know if Roger's match will be shown live anywhere?

I can watch it in the UK live, I can give updates if you can't see it where you are Cervantes

ah, it is on one of the digital channels? i wish we had something like that over here. so far i haven't seen one tennisball one the dutch television (not surprising since we don't have anyone competing)

updates would be great Raquel, thanks

If ur in US...and have cable should be on Bravo...but now they got horse walking in cicrle what kind sport is that

apparently in the US they are gonna tape delay it for this afternoon at around 5 eastern

I am in the Netherlands, but I do have access to satellite so if some Swiss or German station airs it I might be able to see it.

Yes Raquel, any update will be greatly appreciated :). No coverage for me :(

1-0 Roger, holds to love

:boxing: i wanna see Roger vs Ljubicic in QF...they way draw looks it can happen

thanks for the update Raquel. I'm gonna try the satellite, see if I can find a Swiss tv station.

Thanks Raquel:hug:
Your work will be very much appreciated:)

Thanks Raquel :kiss:

Roger breaks for 2-0 (2 doubles faults in the game from Nikolay)

Thanks Raquel :kiss:

Really appreciated!

Come on Rogi!!!

Can't find a Swiss chanel, did find tennis on German tv, but they're showing Massu vs Kuerten.

Roger holds for 3-0 :)

Tracy Austin just said that when Roger won Wimbledon, Gstaad and Canada back to back he was the first person since Borg to win 3 straight titles on 3 different surfaces :worship: I didn't know that!

This match is live on Slovakian TV, but on satelitte it's encrypted :(
Federer leads 3-0*

:D :D Keep going Rogi!

Slovakian TV rules! Unfortunately I can't get it, I just went through 100 channels but I only found Kuerten vs Massu on ZDF.

Go Roger!!

I think that Slovakian TV rules too.
Yesterday Safin-Kucera, today Moya-Enqvist and now Federer-Davydenko.
And commentator language is like Polish ;)

Davydenko holds for 3-1. Went to Deuce

Roger is playing so well. The crowd were gasping in mid rally at the backhands he hit in one rally!

It is so windy at the stadium, but Roger is coping very well :)

What a nice Federer backhand play!
Davydenko holds to 40.
Now it's *3-1 for Federer

I don't need commentary, I just want to Roger's awesome tennis.

3-1 to Roger now

wow...thanks guys.

Good to hear that he's coping well out there, really relieved to hear.

Keep going Rogi!

4-1 Roger :)

Davydenko is standing so far back to receive serves. Staying very deep.

Roger is looking in good form so far, especially on backhand

Happy to hear Roger is behaving!!! There's good sign he will get to the final, then I can get him LIVE!! Go Roger! :bounce::bounce:

Is Roger coming to the net often, playing serve-and-volley?

Any updates on the score?

5:2 0:30 Federer!! go go go :worship: :worship: :worship:

Thanks for the updates guys :D Keep'em coming. C'mon Rogi, close out the first set!

Cervantes, search for the 4-Athena ARD/ZDF channels, he's on #2.

Thanks, I'll go and look.

Daydenko holds for 5-3

Roger had 4 sp's :sad:

5:3 Roger to serve for the set!

C'mon Rogi! Serve out the first set!

Roger 6-3 :bounce:

Roger wins it on his 6th set point

TheHawk, I've only found channels #1 and #4 of the 4-Athena ARD/ZDF channels. Do you have any idea where I can find the other two?

yesss:-) first set 6:3

TheHawk, I've only found channels #1 and #4 of the 4-Athena ARD/ZDF channels. Do you have any idea where I can find the other two?

Yes.

Finish it in 2 Roger!
Thanks Raquel for all the updates:hearts:

Rogi :D One more set to go!

@Cervantes: 11954 H 27500 3/4

Davydenko holds 1-0 (Roger had a bp, but went long on return)

Davydenko breaks for 2-0. He hit 2 great winners in that game.

Roger just got a warning for hitting a ball out of the stadium. Very frustrated with that last game.

Come on Rogi!

@Cervantes: 11954 H 27500 3/4

hm, I don't exactly know how it works, but I'll give it a try. Is that the satellite position or something?

Yes, the coordinates of the channel, the two you found are on 12110 or something like that, the one you need is on 11954.

Rogi :eek: Thanks for the comments Raquel. C'mon Rogi, let's break right back here for my nerves!

Davydenko 3-0 (Roger had 0-30) Roger throwing the racket down after a couple of unforced errors.
Davydenko playing well, some great rallies and the crowd enjoying this match.

Roger fired up after that last game, attacking the net and hitting harder than normal but overhitting on some shots.

oh oh, roger isn't that cool in this moment, he seems to be frustratet,racket to the floor, ball out to the roof- what happens??? come on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bad Rogi! :mad: :mad:

Concentrate and don't lose focus!

Roger holds for 1-3

4 serve and volleys in a row. Game over in one minute. Great serving from Federer!

Calm down Roger, break him now!!!!

Roger breaks back for 2-3 :) A couple of brilliant forehands from Rogi, forcing errors. Roger coming to net more and hit a winning volley at 15-15. Amazing forehand winner to break!

Davydenko is a great scrambler, getting lots of Roger's good shots back but Roger doing enough in that game

YES! Thanks Raquel for the good news again :) hope more from you :D

Davydenko 6-5

I have been wondering about that myself, but my perception is that he is serving and volleying since he has been making too many unforced errors from the baseline. I guess the windy conditions are affecting him from getting his rhythm. Same for Davydenko. This match is pretty much an error-fest.

:scared:

Come on Roger, please hold... :o

6-3 5-6...that's as much as i can see...can anyone update me further?

2 set points Dayvdenko

30-40 - Roger hits backhand cross court volley winner

God... :o

No matter what the reasons are, this is a shameful display from Roger as the #1 player in the world. You dont serve for a match and lose the second set the way he did. What's wrong with him?

Roger :mad::mad:

How can you remind of the Hrbaty match :o :tape:

crap!

I thought it would be over by now. I was just watching the swimming for a while expecting Roger to win it easily.

:smash: Rogi!!!

Calm down now and regroup Rogi!!! You can win this!

Yeah I was doing that too Cervantes. Rogi :mad: C'mon pleaseeee win the third set now.

Sending +++++++++++++++++ vibes.

Yes, the coordinates of the channel, the two you found are on 12110 or something like that, the one you need is on 11954.

I can't set the coordinates with my remote control and I still can't find the channels. The decoder set all channels when first installed it and I can't seem to manualy overwrite it.

Don't lose the break this time!! :o :mad:

Thanks Raquel for the updates. I just dont think it bodes well for the #1 to be losing serve numerous times when serving for a set or a match. He did that in Toronto also against I think both Arazi and Solderling. That's not good.

Rogi :D :D :D Now please hold your serve!

ok, come on rogi!!!!

hold ur serve plse!

Thanks Raquel for the updates. I just dont think it bodes well for the #1 to be losing serve numerous times when serving for a set or a match. He did that in Toronto also against I think both Arazi and Solderling. That's not good.
Me thinking the same :( He has done it for several times which is not bearable. :(

Hey dirk, what's up?

ok, keep goin rogi!

Yeah yanchr. He can keep doing that or else his major opponents will start getting confident. He needs to be able to serve out a set or a match effectively, no matter what. I guess he needs to calm down more and find a central point between going for his shots and making sure they are played into the court.

Davydenko *1-3

15-0 ??
15-15 - Davydenko nets backhand
15-30 - Davydenko goes long on forehand

Game Federer - STUNNING defence from Roger - 2 smashes back! Davydenko goes wide

4-1 Federer

May I remind you....they had always close matches!!
nd, rogi was suprised by the court...it was very fast..
I think Rogi have to find his rhytm.
nd he will raise his game for sure!
its always difficult first round matches....even if ur #1 in the world!!!!

the other 2 times federer and davydenko have played
federer wins the first set
davydenko wins the 2nd set
federer wins the 3rd set

looks like this match will go the same way as the previous two other matches

Rogiiiiiiiiii :D :D :D Now hold please +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

goooo ROGI!! :D

Go Roger! You are on the right track man!
Keep your serve and confirm your double Break!

calimero, I understand all of that and that Davydenko is a tough competitor. Nevertheless, it is not good for a #1 to keep losing serve when serving for a set, or like today, a match. It's not all about the rhythm and the court. If he could get himself to a position of serving for a set or a match, he must learn to serve it out. Whatsoever, he needs to improve that, he needs to.

Roger *4-1

0-15 - Long rally, Roger nets a backhand
15-15 - Big second serve down middle, Davydenko can't return it in
30-15 - Davydenko nets backhand return. Again Roger was charging into net
40-15 - Davydenko goes long on return
40-30 - Roger stretch backhand volley wide
Game Federer - Brilliant down the line forehand winner

5-1 Federer

YES NINJA HAS A DOUBLE BREAK. GO NINJA EMBARRASS HIM NOW!!!!!! :fiery: :bounce:

This match is over. Ninja is making him pay dearly for winning that set.

ok, rogi...break him now again..!!!!

Davydenko *1-5

0-15 - Roger forces Davydenko to go long
0-30 - Beautiful backhand down the line pass from Roger
0-40 - Amazing lunge cross court volley from Roger forces error
Game set match, Roger - Davydenko goes into net
Roger Federer d Davydenko 6-3, 5-7, 6-1 :bounce:

Its just the first round. Ninja will get more with it later on in the event. Davey can be tough. Ninja is making the most of his 2nd chance to close it out.

:woohoo:

The good part of this match is that Roger is serving and volleying a lot. That will be necessary in other matches as well as the U.S Open. He sometimes get too caught up in baseline rallies or too comfortable in his abilities to rally that he forgets to come to the net to finish up points or make returning difficult for his opponents. When opponents see him serve and volleying, they cannot just take full swings at returns. Hence, he makes them guess what he is up to.

Rogi :woohoo: :woohoo:

Great job!!!! Although my nerves can do without that second set choking. Good luck in your second round :bounce:

Well done Roger!

bravo Roger, he did it :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :banana: :banana: :banana: yupeeeeeeeeeee

True Dirk. Guess I expect way too much from him. He is human as well. Hopefully, he will get into the thick of things and win the gold here. That will be really nice.

goooo ninja!!!
happy that he took that 3th set so easy!
he will raise his game for the further matches...I'm sure!
good luck rogi!
u r looking for gold....nd u gonna get gold!

CONGRATS ROGER FOR A TOUGH FIRST ROUND WIN!!! You really make me nervous!!

Why not perform earlier?? :mad::rolleyes::o
It's OK. What matters now is that HE WINS:woohoo:
Next time, pls make life easier, my boy;)

Way to go Rogi.....good luck in your second round

Thanks Raquel :)

Yeah, thanks Raquel. Really appreciate it.

Raquel, thank you so much for the update. Really appreciate it.

Roger, another step closer, congrats!

Oh yeah almost forgot because too happy :p Thank you so much Raquel :kiss:

Yeah, thanks Raquel.

:wavey: Your welcome! I am just happy he won :)

me too! :bounce:

Even though I saw half of the match (had to go at 5:5 in the second)
I still apreciated to reread the scores here.

Well me too was disapointed that he didn't finish in two. But loosing that game just showed that Roger is no Robot after all - and I belive he was much more nervous than he approves to be. Only shows how much he want a medal (preferably the dgolden one) here.

Keep going Roger!!

@Cervantes: 11954 H 27500 3/4

I finally found the other 2 German digital channels, the tennis was on channel 532 so that's why I couldn't find it earlier. Hopefully they'll show Federer again tonight :bounce:

are they showing his match today on TV?

I hear that Brovo is showing tennis in the morning but everytime I switch to bravo i see Table Tennis LOL... Maybe I am just picking the wrong times to switch to that channel... lol

Crap, the German "tennis"-channel is showing a recording of Ferrero-Fish. Hopefully they will show Federer later on.

I hear that Brovo is showing tennis in the morning but everytime I switch to bravo i see Table Tennis LOL... Maybe I am just picking the wrong times to switch to that channel... lol

by mornings i think they mean at like 4am because whenever i wakeup, they are just wrapping up the matches

Anybody have live coverage for Rogi's match today? Any live update on the score will be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, not here at least. We have volleyball, sailing, badminton and judo on right now, but no tennis at all. Even when the BBC do go to it, I think it will be the main court, and not court one.

Jtipson you keep bringing me bad news :p

Sigh, I guess I will have to count on that lousy nbc scoreboard.

Do I? My apologies! The NBC scoreboard was completely bananas last time I looked at it, it had Roger, Tomas and a woman playing in the match :(

Apology accepted ;)

Yeah three person competiting in the same match, how does it work I wonder? :rolleyes:

If the nbc scoreboard is correct Rogi just broke Thomas :D :D

Keep going Rogi!!!!

The nbc board is messed up but swap the lady for Federer and the scores are just ok

This match seems to be an error fest. The W-UE ratio is 6-9 for Rogi and 3-15 for Thomas.

ytben,

much better than yesterday. Almost every match seems to be on the negative. Maybe the Athenians cannot differentiate between a forced and an unforced error.

We have Venus Williams on in the UK so I can't give updates today :sad:

Hopefully, he's playing well. Hopp Rogi!

:lol: yeah that may be it. I originally thought the error fest is because of the wind

Rogi got the first set 6-4 :D :D
One more set to go Rogi and please no third set today please

Raquel :hug: We're on the same boat today. I'm really mad, my cable have 6 channels for Olympics. Three are empty right now showing nothing but the schedule :mad: They can use one of those to show some tennis.

Crap, the German "tennis"-channel is showing a recording of Ferrero-Fish. Hopefully they will show Federer later on.

Crap is the word, esp since poor Juanqui lost... :sad: :sad: I wanted him to end up on the podium, Marat too... :sad:

OK, Rogi, easy 2nd set today, OK?

GO, ROGI!!! OPA!!!! ;) ;)

ytben,

It's true the wind and the surface itself are factors, but I think it's a combination of forced and unforced errors, unlike it's stated on the Olympic website.

:sad: :sad: :sad: Me too RF, I was so happy when both Juanqui and Marat won their first match easily. Thought they have pretty good chances in this tournament.

1 all. Let's break him now Rogi! Sending +++++++++++++++++++++ vibes to Rogi.

Its so sad that it's this challenging to get live updated scores. I uses Athens2004.com and ITF's website and they both are inaccurate and slow as hell. We would never had this problem getting scores for a GS. This is supposed to be the great Olympics.

Juan Carlos Ferrero lost because of lack of confidence, but based on his game, I think he can be a threat at the U.S Open. Marat is just a headcase. I am so disappointed in him. You cant have that much talent just to not be able to put it to use rightly. He gives up too easily. Laundgren has a lot of work to do in the next six months, or it will be getting close to over for Safin. Pretty dismal performance.

Exactly my lady ;) This is really pathetic considering this is Olympics.

Come one Rogi, take this match in 2 sets!!

http://www.smiliegenerator.de/smiley-flag/smiley-2249.png

Roger was down a break 3-5 and broke back. Score is now 5-6
