Federer struggling against Seppi.

Whoever wins this tiebreak will prob win the match.

Seppi 2 sets to love up against Federer.

This will be an upset. Roger is way too old to comeback I'm feeling.

Unless he chucks a US Open with Monfils.

I seriously doubt he can pull it off twice in a row.

 

[dangerouss]

looks like its gonna go into a 5th maybe

 

[RivalryofTroll]

Federer loses in 4 to Seppi.

11 consecutive AO SFs snapped.

Why did Roger let it go, twice wth. Well time to cheer for Nadal.

Man its gonna feel weird without Roger in the 2nd week. Tonnes of fed haters emerging on tennis forums/comments lol.

 

[dangerouss]

omg wow im so sad

thought it'd go to 5

 

[RivalryofTroll]

but he is going to get executed by firing squad?

also rot fed won a set!!

Short-lived comeback.

To be honest, I'm expecting a terrible 2015 season from Roger (yes I know it's only the first slam of the year but based on recent trends...)

After a good season, he normally has a terrible one following it these days.

2010 --> good season (AO champion)
2011 --> first slamless season since 2002.
2012 --> great season (World Number 2, recaptured No. 1 for a few weeks, won Wimbledon)
2013 --> terrible season
2014 --> good season (World Number 2, Wimbledon finalist)
2015 --> ???

Definitely avoiding said tennis forums.

Need to get over this loss so I can start cheering for an underdog or young gun.

Definitely not cheering for Seppi

bloody hell

tbh i think Djokovic might take it this year

Like I've said, he's the safest bet.

'might' would be an understatement.

I think Djokovic 'will most likely' win his 5th AO and surpass Agassi/Federer at the AO.

Also, Rafa will likely surpass Fed in terms of number of slams within the next few years imo

Also, Rafa will likely surpass Fed in terms of number of slams within the next few years imo

if he staves off the injuries

 

[Librah]

Oh god federer lost. ./cry

There will war when this happens. Rafael's H2H and 900 Roland Garros Titles will contribute for GOAT.

FRICK YES KRYRIOS DID IT!!!!! (caps)

*Kyrgios* Wouldve preferred Federer playing but Seppi was a fighter. Hope he fights well with Murray.
