"I have only THREE words for him...

He. Is. BAAAAACCCKKK!!!!" :lol:

Well, some kind of a Mirka Dreamland-hickups during that second set... some silly challenges, trademark Roger Federer :lol:, some not-so-silly ones as well (Rogi - please, please PLEASE get some new contact lenses, eh, or SHUT UP!!! ), some sloppy UEs, some bit of grumbling left-right-&-center, and the like.

Whatever. Not-so-great performance from Rogi, but well done nevertheless. . Job-Is-Done in two straight (and quick!) sets, and that's the only thing that matters eventually.

Not bad from Lubicic either I might as well add - some great serves all around.

VAMOS, Rogelio!!! :rocker2:

Federer beats Ljubicic 6-3 6-4

Solid performance by Fed. It could have been easier if he didn't go into sleep mode in the middle of the 2nd set. Only negative thing is his BP conversion was as shit as ususal.


Ljubo made too many UEs, but still won some of the rallies.


Stats:
1st serve %: 75%
Aces: 6
Winners: 27
UEs: 19
BP conversion: 3/11

You know something would be badly wrong with him if he didn't have terrible break point conversion, it's one of his less discussed hallmarks. But against the Ljubicic serve that's not so surprising, I just wish he didn't put on these clinics in how to blow leads behind his own serve.

Flawless play in the 1st set. In the second set, lost concentration, due to some poor calls from the linesman and the umpire. Anyway great win.

Sorry about that, mate. If I only knew how to correct that, I'd surely have done that by now.

Congrats to Fed and his fans. Ljubicic had nothing to trouble Roger.

Um, was it really the umpire's fault? Fed just screwed up there. Anyway, a win is a win and there were a few touches of brilliance. Not too shabby!

Ljubicic didnt play that bad, he didnt serve that good but he had some nice winners of the backhand side. he still has some game.

There was a few wrong calls initially which fed successfully challenged. He was pissed that the umpire din't overrule them and he had to use his challenges to get the right decision.

Thanks people. Haven't found out yet as I rarely start new threads... always too late due to my crappy internet connection.

Federer always has a tough time with Haas. Remember that 5-setter at 2006 AO.
