Second set: Federer 3-0* Philippoussis. Federer won the first set
And a second break from the Swiss, who is bringing out some sublime tennis. He hits a shot into the net, which is such a rarity that the crowd gasp. The Pou is in danger of being trodden all over.
Second set: Federer* 4-0 Philippoussis. Federer won the first set
A glimmer of hope for Philippoussis as Federer seems to relax with his two break lead. But such is Federer's mental strength that he claws it back. Courtesy of Philippoussis' failure to exploit a second serve, he holds on to his own service game. Federer has now served 12 aces to the Pou's eight. Who would have bet on that happening?
Second set: Federer 4-1 Philippoussis*. Federer won the first set
Stephwn Kalyniuk, who gives away his origins with the email heading "Mark Philippoussis Go Aussie GO", believes that the Pou is just toying with his Swiss opponent, as he did with Alexander Popp in the quarterfinals.
"Mark Philippoussis will let Federer win the first two sets to tire him out then win the last three - Can't make it look too easy - bad for the game." Well you are entitled to your own Stephen, but you'll get a more sympathetic response from Amalie.
Did you like the way Popp ( mother from Wolverhampton) became more and more British on the Beeb the further he progressed in the tournament? Utter desperation.
Second set: Federer* 5-1 Philippoussis*. Federer won the first set
Still demonstrating his range of shots to heap the pressure onto the Scud. Some dingo on the Aussie Alps admits that they call the Pou Greek if he loses, Aussie if he wins.
"Here I am in Dominica, begins Clive Sorhaindo, "Housesitting in the countryside for friends with a swimming pool....sounds great right but
(a) no cable TV therefore no Wimbledon and only contact is this online coverage (b) phone isn't working (c) electricity comes and goes (this is the 2nd time I'm writing this email since power just went for about half an hour just as I was getting ready to press "send") (d) whiny spoilt dog (e) having a pool party this afternoon (hoping my friends don't follow Wimbledon online coverage) and right now it's raining cats & dogs...."
I would have sympathy Clive Sorhaindo, but frankly if you can't enjoy yourself in Domenica then maybe the problem is actually within yourself. I think I read that in an Irma Kutz column.
Second set: Federer 5-2 Philippoussis*. Federer won the first set
Philippoussis retains his dignity and stays in the second set.
Second set: Federer* 6-2 Philippoussis*. Federer won the first set
But not for long. Federer takes his own service game far away from the dejected looking Philippoussis to give himself a considerable lead. But we know that Philippoussis is superfit after his gruelling training regime of the past year, which involved him running up stairs until he had to crawl. He's also been off the booze, which must have been a huge sacrifice for him.
