Roger looks unstoppable (at least by Juan-Martin). The Swiss had an easy one after a very good start of the match that brought him to a comfortable 3-0 lead to win the opener 6-3. The second set was even easier with Federer breaking Delpo twice.(6-2)
“I sort of expected myself to come out and play a good match today after the struggle I had against Bellucci,” said Federer. “I don’t usually struggle back to back days, so this was for me a really good match against a great player.”
There was a little controversy about the eye-hawk. Infact, in the first game there was a serve by Roger that was called in by the line judge. The ball was clearly out, but it could not been challenged because the system was temporary down. Eventually he chaie empire validated the call. Eventually Federer won that game after 11 minutes.
“It was clear out and the machine doesn’t work,” Delpo said. “But then the chair umpire told me he made a mistake … could be a big chance to me to change the way of the match in that game. After that I was not concentrating and Roger was playing better, taking all his opportunities.”
Then there was Roger’s comment “Crazy enough, when I played Rafa in Wimbledon, at 6-all in the fifth Hawk Eye wasn’t available anymore because of the light. That was great for us to know. It wasn’t such an important match. Who cares?”
Del Potro was not really please by his serve “I don’t serve really well and then when I had the break points I play bad,” he said. “It’s only the same as usual. If you don’t take your chance against Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, you can’t win.”
