Hoping for a Cilic win. Like yesterday, it's always nice to see someone win it who never has.

Yep. And it's not often someone with a palindromic surname wins a tournament.

What a machine Federer is. His backhand is probably one of the most beautiful things in sport.

How long can he go on for?

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #1402 on:** July 16, 2017, 02:27:25 pm »

Cilic needs to take these chances, he's making too many sloppy errors after returning well.

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #1403 on:** July 16, 2017, 02:31:39 pm »

Misses a second serve return on break point and then gets broke the next game. Yep, that's the Cilic I know.

Fucking dull.

Come on Roger, hold now and don't let him back in this set.

Nick110581 · « **Reply #1406 on:** July 16, 2017, 02:35:38 pm »

Cilic looks tight

Could be over very quickly

Pure filth from Federer

It's not really tho

He's not done anything amazing yet he's a break up

Was talking about that backhand slice that dropped just over the net rather than the overall performance.

Disappointing that this looks like it will be routine.

Double fault from Cilic on set point about sums up his performance so far.

Nick110581 · « **Reply #1412 on:** July 16, 2017, 02:47:23 pm »

What a anti climax.

Not even been competitive.

JD. · « **Reply #1413 on:** July 16, 2017, 02:47:54 pm »

First set Federer !

Come on Fed, don't lose from a set up!

S · « **Reply #1414 on:** July 16, 2017, 02:48:05 pm »

Shaping up to be boringly easy for Federer, shame as I wanted a competitive final.

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #1415 on:** July 16, 2017, 02:48:06 pm »

3 winners to 10 unforced errors for Cilic in that set. That's not good enough to beat anybody.

DivisiveNewSigning · « **Reply #1416 on:** July 16, 2017, 02:48:43 pm »

Oh dear Cilic. Only 49% of his first serves in.

Needs to step it up or it'll be a cake-walk for Federer (not that I'd mind).

Red-Soldier · « **Reply #1417 on:** July 16, 2017, 02:48:43 pm »

Federer in 3, unless Cilic can find his first serve and up his game a bit.

Yep.

Shame the other big three weren't about.

If Federer wins this, will he come back again next year? Always strikes me as someone who would bow out at the top and he's 36 this year. On the other hand, maybe the chance of a 20th grand slam would tempt him back on tour for another year or so.

coolbyrne · « **Reply #1420 on:** July 16, 2017, 02:51:12 pm »

4 serves, game won. Jesus.

He's said before he'll play as long as he enjoys it.

He will win the US Open too.

Only Rafa can stop him as Murray and Novak need time out.

Rafa's won one non French slam in 7 years. Roger has beaten him three times already this year on hard court.

It's not *that* bad.

If you really have had enough I'm sure there's some paint drying on one of the channels.

It's beyond dull.

Cilic just looks beaten.

Could this be the shortest men's final in history?

SandyShore · « **Reply #1433 on:** July 16, 2017, 02:55:55 pm »

Last year's final was just as dull when Murray played Roanic.

Hazell · « **Reply #1434 on:** July 16, 2017, 02:56:48 pm »

Uh oh, Cilic looks like he's in trouble with an injury. Looks pretty upset.

JD. · « **Reply #1435 on:** July 16, 2017, 02:56:49 pm »

Injury?

TheShanklyGates · « **Reply #1436 on:** July 16, 2017, 02:56:53 pm »

Cilic hurt? Would explain a lot. What a shame if his poor performance is because of injury in the biggest match of his life.

Poor bloke is in bits.

Old No7 · « **Reply #1437 on:** July 16, 2017, 02:57:26 pm »

JD. · « **Reply #1438 on:** July 16, 2017, 02:57:34 pm »

Wow, shame for Cilic here if it is an injury. Real let down if he needs to pull here. Even as a Federer fan I don't want him to win on a withdrawal
