Bit of a shame Schwartzman didn't get the tiebreak, that was a really bad choke at the end. After playing that well, four random basic errors in a row to lose the match.

Diego gave a good account of himself :yeah:

Thank Fuck

It's absolutely ridiculous how often (compared to other top players) Federer faces a lower ranked opponents who happen to play way above their usual level on that particular day.

Rogie could very well win Istanbul, but he has ZERO chance of winning Madrid, Rome, or the FO.

Diego played much better. Fed was lucky. He needs to improve if he really is serious about this clay season, otherwise this form ain't cutting it. If Dimitrov can't beat this version of Fed he should quit professional tennis.

 

[Cloren]

Diego played very well, Fed not so much. But glad he got the win in the end. Should still be able to win Istanbul, but I do not expect much in the other 3 clay court tournaments.

Fuck off you little shit. Thinking you would beat Federer. Play like this against Nadal and Djokovic you idiot.

Summary of the live commentary thread.

Re: Istanbul SF: Federer def. Schwartzman 2-6 6-2 7-5

Roger should play Miami and then Rome to avoid most of the clay season. His shots have no punch on this surface

Re: Istanbul SF: Federer def. Schwartzman 2-6 6-2 7-5

you playing like mug and journeyman fluking at the same time is usually receipt for disaster. fortunately disaster avoided this time, not some consolation when you now that new one is around the corner

Re: Istanbul SF: Federer def. Schwartzman 2-6 6-2 7-5

Roger just in a bad mood. Tired. Even hitting balls to crowd almost duty-like.
Out of sorts.

Re: Istanbul SF: Federer def. Schwartzman 2-6 6-2 7-5

Federer's LUCK was out of this world and was playing like 200% against titans like Schwartzman as usual.

Re: Istanbul SF: Federer def. Schwartzman 2-6 6-2 7-5

Ahh, Chris Kuerten. You must watch more Fed matches than I do.

Re: Istanbul SF: Federer def. Schwartzman 2-6 6-2 7-5

As a Fedfan I have to admit Diego sometimes played far above Fed. What an effort :worship:

2nd set and Diego's last service matches GOATerer appeared.

All in all a perfect match for Federer, Schwartzman, crowd and us. Fantastic display, just fantastic :worship:
