I guess everybody's still disappointed from the big loss at Wimbly, and with the end of our beloved QF streak, and that's why no one's opened this thread yet. So I just kind of snuck in with my hopelessly crabby brand of wit in the title!:rolleyes:

Anyways, as they say - the show must go on!:devil:

So here's wishing Roger a new streak of Hamburgers and Frankfurters to keep him healthy for the second half of the season!:D

A new beginning: 2nd rd is with either Lorenzi or Brands.

Really? it must of been cramps from the cold weather hence why he put the sweater on because i didn't see any time during the match where he could've tweaked it . but he still was moving fine and his ball striking was still not affected .sounds to me like cramps , if that's the case , some good stretching and keeping his back warm will do the trick.

hope you're right and it was just the weather.

Even if the back did flare up I don't think he played that bad in the 2nd set. But certainly better in the 1st and 3rd.

Here is one of the instances:



Strange that while he looked much worse against Wawrinka in IW (arm serving and not bending at all to receive) he never did this.
all that work to not sit, only to kick the racquet over and have to bend down to pick it up. :sobbing: :sobbing:

I`m afraid of a Lendl`s end of career for Roger :scared:

Please resist Roger

I think we have to accept that Fed isn't flexible like he used to be and he won't bend on the serve as far, whether his back is ailing him or not. He isn't going to go back to 2007 where he bent almost in half.

Ended up watching a replay of the match a few hours ago, my god was i nervous in the 3rd. Must have been hell watching it live! Anyway, I hope Roger's back isn't an issue again for today. His serves weren't up to scratch yesterday for the most part

You watched without knowing the result? I've often done so myself, when possible.

As a "live-watcher" I'll say it was nerve-wrecking all right. And yes, we all hope the back is OK today. Two aces yesterday and few free points on serve was not promising.

Didn't he played against the Fog back in 2007 in a Masters Event, i think in the US? Fognini was only a Youngster back then.

@champras
I wish you a lot of fun out there :)
