    Federer is one game from going out on day one. :eek:

    Currently down 2 sets to 1, and 5-3 in the 4th.

    I just saw that. Insane.

    I wonder if Falla will choke on serve for the match. I can see it happening.

    The first two points looked like it, but he seemed to calm down, but now its 5-5.

    I've seen various matches where he's had that happened, guy is good enough to get through it sometimes.

    Federer gets credit for being Federer in that situation but that's a big part of what separates players in this sport beyond the obvious differences in talent: the ability to close matches and perform under pressure.

    That's as much of what makes guys like Federer and Nadal special as their abilities, particularly in Nadal's case.

    If Falla can't find a way to win this set, I see Federer steamrolling in the 5th... 6-1 or 6-2, something like that.

    He's done that drop shot a few times in just the last couple games.

    I wonder if that drop would work on Nadal

    This 5th set will likely be the shortest of the match. Falla is done.

    I hope you're wrong buddy, I missed most of the match.

    I don't want to see him Falla out too soon.

    Does anyone know when A-Rod will play?
