When did he turn into Serverer? He weighs 112 pounds.
Ugh, him turning into Sampras doesn't help to endear him to me AT ALL.
I remember it well. It was during the second Rafa vs Roger Wimbledon final, the one that went 5 sets and Roger won thanks to his serve cause his ground game was total crap that day.

Watching Federer and Pony today was frustrating. One, I thought we were done with Federer winning important shit, so the fact that it's happening again is frustrating. Two, it's the way he's winning. He's really far off his prime, but is still pulling this off. I just wanted him to go away.
Winning the gold medal would be a real feather in his cap. But I'm just happy that he's going to win a medal of some sort. Fourth try now, first time he's going to medal in singles.
This is a big chance for Andy. Roger had a long match. I think Rog can beat him, but he might not have enough left. I slightly favor Andy.

I understand why you're slightly favouring Andy but with Roger, I don't see Andy being allowed to get into as many rallies on the Federer service games as he was today with Novak, which puts more pressure on his own service games and that never ends well. Throwing aside the "big match" labels and issues that are par for the course every time Murray is in the finals of a big event, I'd still favour Federer slightly since he's out of the doubles and gets a full day rest tomorrow.

There are so many parallels right now between Serverer and Serverena. It was so incredibly frustrating to see Federer just serve his way out of so many 0-30 holes in the final set. As Ali says, how the hell do you beat that? It's not like Del Potro served badly himself or did much wrong. It's just, Serverer didn't crack.
Pretty surprised Murray beat Nole. He has as much chance as ever against Fed. I'm happy he didn't get the Turd Medal at home. Nole can have it, I can't root against Delpo after today's match.

Yep. Weak quality - Muzza missing practically every first serve, Federror appearing on second serve returns - almost opposite to how the Wimbledon final began with AGGRESSIVE MUZZAA1!11
