He MUST first win the first 2 matches before worrying about Federer.

Hopefully he could post a huge upset and beat Federer? Have they ever met on grass? When was the last time Nalby beat Federer? 2007 in Paris Indoor?

Nalby always has the extra motivation to win when playing the top players like Federer.

His quarter of draw is pretty weak - I dont see Almagro / etc. could post a huge challenge. So if he could beat Federer, he could reach his first Grand Slam QF in half a decade!!! He could even have a chance to reach the SF since I dont see Ferrer / Tsonga are strong grass court players.

Nalby never met RF on grass, the last time he beat him was in Bercy 2007 (indoor, his best surface)
It could be great if beat this arrogant Rolex poseur in Wimbly...I'ld celebrate all night long...

Mikhail Kukushkin KAZ v Roger Federer SUI (3)

[nalbyfan]

An easy match for David. Reister is ranked 135. After he'll face either Serra or Haider Maurer who are not grass kings..then the big RF !!

[freeandlonely]

Good luck, can't wait to see him.

R2 now v Andreas Haider-Maurer

[Stephan]

Hope Dave can pass to R3

[Nefertari]

Vamos David! Good start, keep it going

[Stephan]

David wins in R2:
6-3, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4!!!
It was not so easy as it seems...
Good Luck vs. Federer.
Win it 4 us David, go beat Federer well!

[nalbyfan]

He didn't play as well as yesterday but he finally won.
Hope he can take at least 1 set to Federer...

[Nefertari]

In the second set too many errors, but perhaps he can build on his game of set one and get even better, so he may have chances! Vamos David!
