Del Potro grunted in the first set.

He's getting tired tho, and Federer is taking advantage of it.

 

[Miramonti]

Federer fvcking pwns del Potro right now. (/edit: that's probably a little too strong at this point, lol)

It's a fascinating match. Potro technically has the game to defeat federer, but simply can't sustain his powerful serve and strokes throughout the match against a guy like Federer, who's savvy is going to make him run and eventually tire him and throw him out of rhythm.

 

[GeneValgene]

WOW...what an amazing squash shot!

-edit-
you can call federer the butter cuz he is on a roll!!

 

[rocadelpunk]

I'd feel a lot better if fed would get a second break

[rocadelpunk]

that 1st % serve doesn't really mean much when federer has like 6 aces.

 

[GeneValgene]

Fuck yeah!

[rocadelpunk]

again though, much closer than it should have been. Fed needs to keep up the aggressive play and he should be alright. Federer knows french? nice.

 

[Miramonti]

Vintage Federer.

He played his best in sets 4,5. Potro faded and there's no room to fade against a guy like Federer, who just doesn't seem to tire.

 

[sash1]

wow, Fed pulled it out. now all he has to do is beat Soderling and he ties the great Pete Sampras...

Except Sampras never won the French.

[bigrash]

damn can't believe he came back to win it. I hope Soderling beats him in the Final but I doubt that's gonna happen.

GO ROGER!!!!

 

[Baked]

Sweden Vs. Switzerland in the finals!

Federer is about to get his career grand slam.
