Couldn't watch the entire match yesterday. As omega said both of the matches have been scratchy. I too hope that he just took the initial rounds easy.
Verdasco , Fish , Bedrych , Murray and Nole --> US open :fatigue:

yes. Djokovic is clear favorite to win this title whatever way you look at it. As I said earlier chances for djokovic winning this is almost twice that of Federer as per the book makers.Quote:

There are very good chances to reach 300 weeks as No1.
Thanks for the tickets information Stan. Unfortunately I cannot go as this long weekend added lot of official stuffs on my plate.Hope I watch Roger winning the title in TV :).
Yes. I am sure this record will not be in threat at least for a decade :). Now I want him to get few more GS titles before he retires :).Quote:

P.S: Didn't watch any single Federer match live and I am quite sure I won't be able to watch the Q/F match live. This is the first such instance since USO 2004 that I am missing USO matches on live TV.

This year he is scheduled to play in Shanghai, Basel, Paris and WTF. Hope he wins one or two titles here.
Absolutely nothing worked. His serves were off big time. Normally on such a day his ground strokes would be better aided by his movement.Quote:

I don't know why he forgets to use his slices against Berdych. It would work well if kept deep enough like he does against DelP.
Anyway I didn't expect him to get past SF, but to lose this bad was disgusting. First night session that he has ever lost @ AA.
I am thinking he may again skip Shanghai to come fresh for the 3 back to back indoors like last year.
Federer had off-days like this before but the consistency is gone for him and with age catching up, it will get even more difficult for him to win slams in the future.
I had to see it from third set with the hope that he will get back to the match at anytime. He had a momentum by the end of third set but still his ground strokes and volleys were very poor. As you said first serves were not landing in front and Berdych was able to get free points easily in Roger's second service.Quote:

Vinod, innum evalo vaaram irukku for Federer to complete 300 weeks as no. 1
This is 295th week. 5 more weeks to go. 299 is confirmed. Nole is playing China open which starts on Oct 1st. If Nole wins that then Shangai open will decide if Roger can reach 300 or not.
^ oh...ok...thanks there Vinod...
Sampras recordukku 1 week shortla off AnAr. So we can expect him to peter down after 299 weeks?

Thanks for making this so exciting. After reading through many, many suggestions of nicknames I decided that I would go with Federinho since I am wearing a Brazilian outfit....

பெடரருக்கு கொலை மிரட்டல்
ஷாங்காய்: உலகின் "நம்பர்-1' டென்னிஸ் வீரரான சுவிட்சர்லாந்தின் ரோஜர் பெடரருக்கு இணையதளம் மூலம் கொலை மிரட்டல் விடுக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது. இதையடுத்து அவருக்கு பாதுகாப்பு அதிகரிக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது.
ஷாங்காய் ஓபன் டென்னிஸ் தொடர் நாளை துவங்குகிறது. இதில் பெடரர் பங்கேற்கவுள்ளார். இவருக்கு இணையதளம் ஒன்றில் கொலை மிரட்டல் விடுக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது. அதில், டென்னிஸ் போட்டிகளை அழிப்பதற்காக பெடரரை கொலை செய்ய போவதாக தெரிவிக்கப்பட்டிருந்தது. இதை தொடர்ந்து பெடரருக்கும் மற்ற வீரர்களுக்கும் பாதுகாப்பு அதிகரிக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது..
இது குறித்து சாங்காய் போலீஸ் அதிகாரி யாங் கூறியது:
யாரே ஒரு ரசிகர் பெயரளவில் மிரட்டுகிறார். வேறு எந்த ஒரு செயலிலும் அவர் ஈடுபட மாட்டார் என நினைக்கிறேன். இருந்தாலும் இதை அலட்சியமாக எடுத்துக்கொள்ள மாட்டோம்.
ரோஜர் பெடரருக்கு பலமான பாதுகாப்பு ஏற்பாடுகள் செய்யப்பட்டுள்ளது. பிற வீரர்களுக்கம் பாதுகாப்பு ஏற்பாடுகள் தீவிரப்படுத்தப்பட்டுள்ளன. பாதுகாப்பு கருது பெடரரின் வருகை "மீடியா'வுக்கு கூட தெரிவிக்கப்படவில்லை.
அவரும் அவரது குடும்பத்தினரும் ஷாங்காய் விமான நிலையத்தில் இறங்கியவுடன் வி.ஐ.பி., செல்லும் தனிவழியில் ஓட்டலுக்கு பாதுகாப்பாக அழைத்துச் செல்லப்பட்டனர்.
இவ்வாறு யாங் கூறினார்.
Roger clears his Sanghai second round with 6-3, 7-5 vicory against Yen-Hsun Lu of China. Next up is Wawarnika :).

பெடரரிடம் மன்னிப்பு
ஷாங்காய்: முன்னணி டென்னிஸ் வீரர் ரோஜர் பெடரருக்கு இணையதளம் மூலம் கொலை மிரட்டல் விடுத்த நபர் மன்னிப்பு கேட்டுள்ளார்.
டென்னிஸ் போட்டிகளை அழிப்பதற்காக பெடரரை கொலை செய்ய போவதாக ஒருவர் மிரட்டல் விடுத்தார். இதையடுத்து ஷாங்காய் டென்னிஸ் தொடரில் பங்கேற்கும் இவருக்கு பாதுகாப்பு அதிகரிக்கப்பட்டது.
தற்போது கொலை மிரட்டல் விடுத்த நபர், அதே இணையதளம் மூலம் பெடரரிடம் மன்னிப்பு கேட்டுள்ளார்.
பெடரர் கூறுகையில், ""எனது கவனத்தை திசை திருப்புவதற்காக மிரட்டல் விடுக்கப்பட்டது. இதில் எந்த சந்தேகமும் இல்லை'', என்றார்.
Roger against Lu - Second round Sanghai - Highlights.

Stan & Arvind , He will reach 300 weeks milestone if he wins his next match against Wawrinka.
Good win for federer....so 300 weeks as world no. 1 it is...thanks for the info Vinod...
:notworthy:. I was praying that he shouldn't stumble on this pressure.
Cool!! Great news for the day :bow:
Wish he ends the year as WORLD NO 1
I think finishing the year end as No.1 doesn't seem to be his top priority as there is a lot to defend with Djokovic having a lot to gain (with a huge lead).
Yeah there is still that tiny oppurtunity, but I don't think it is going to happen.
Murray will most likely dominate the indoor season...
Roger to me looks like is satisfied with whatever he has achieved this year.
Highlights of Shanghai 2012 third round against Wawrinka. This victory sealed his 300 week as # 1 milestone :). Wawrinka also played well in first two sets :clap:.

SF lineup for Shanghai Masters,
Federer vs Murray
Djokovic vs Berdych
Looks like a tall order for Roger (with the way he is playing this tournament)
Looks like Federer has his work out, like you said Omega....Has been very patchy throughout....
As expected Murray takes the first set 6-4 breaking Fed twice.
Fed is serving horribly ( 3 DFs in a row) & Murray serving superbly...
It should be a straight set loss for Fed.
First game in 2nd set, cruising to 40-0 & then struggling to hold with 6 BPs saved so far.
Drama when there were a few drops of rain. Fed. doesn't want to play, umpire asking him to continue, in the mean time roof is being closed, Murray completely unhappy with the whole situation.
After 6 mins stoppage, play resumes (roof open) & Fed closed the first game. On serve with 2-1 for Fed. Murray to serve
