Cincinnati SF 2009 - Federer vs Murray (1st set)

[Roger119Federer]

8:56 "hawkeye works for federer" LMAO

[davenw6]

Rafathman is a troll that hates Murray and should always be ignored

[radioxxflyer]

i hate these two commentators, they ruin matches for me on tennistv.com, im glad i dont have to use that service often then! but grievances aside, federer played stunning in the late stages of this event, just beautiful!

[BrotherTree1]

a clean match by roger. still wasn't at his best, but the difference is that when he was in trouble, he pulled the trigger down the line more often to get murray off balanced and confused, instead of slicing it back which gives murray time to put the ball away.

[katherineli]

after the let service, federer's like im gonna get you now murray

[lmonto]

at 2:24 did murray just say to his coach dumb ass! man this is why i love tennis

[ccauffma]

are the commentators british?

[nali82]

@ccauffma one of them is, the other is south african.

[trounbyfire]

You have just seen roger when he is healthy. He made Murry and Djokovic both frustrated in the same tourney in back to back matches. WHEN FED IS HEALTHY NO ONE CAN PLAY ON HIS LEVEL. not even Nadal as we seen in Madrid

[yesjac]

3:16 - fed and murray drinking water bending at the same time. it's funny.

[Wilde4Ever]

Federer's brilliance as a tactician is not often talked about, unlike the other top players he has no coach to talk him through these things yet he seems to work out a good game plan in almost every match.

[trounbyfire]

@Wilde4Ever roger is coached by the swiss davis cup captain. they say that all the time but i think that after winning so much it more to keep him from getting a big head. he is roger federer after all he can play some tennis.

[BrotherTree1]

thats too fucking good.

[EddTeach]

theres no doubt in my mind that federer will win the aussie open again. It might be a tight match but he will never submit to murray in a grand slam final.

[AlphaDraconis7]

well..he has submitted 6 out of the last 10 times against murray lmao..

i really hope federer finds a way to beat murray...no doubt about it, murray is very difficult to beat...roger doesnt enjoy playing him...

COME ON FEDERER!

[andy316800]

well, now it is good to know that federer has no plan of losing murray in a best of 5 sets match!

he is too good for most of players in grand slams!

[fanjiatia]

Yeah, he did today! Isn't that great?

[ItsMattChew]

respect man. well said.

[MrDonnie54]

Murray isn't doing well now on the world ranking

[adronias]

He's 4th, what are you talking about..?

[MrDonnie54]

it isn't bad but for him???

[adronias]

Well he'll probably be 3rd after the Aus open. Tennis rankings can be a bit deceptive because of how the tournaments are marked, your performance in that tournament the previous year affects how many points you get this year. Also Murray could win 6 AP tournaments and not get as many points as somebody flunking out the 1st round of all those tournaments but winning a grand slam. He just needs to hit form for the slams and bigger tourneys that you get more points in. Like he's done in Australia.

[adronias]

Actually I believe they changed how the rankings work this year, and previous performances in tournaments are no longer factored in. Trust me though, Murray is going nowhere, he's going to be a tennis superstar and multiple slam winner.

[MrDonnie54]

yeah he's now in the final of the Aus open he's got to win this!

[AlphaDraconis7]

well...he's in the australian open final now..

but i hope federer wins the title :P

[MrDonnie54]

I think if Murray plays agressive he has a chance to win

[elitegumby]

@MrDonnie54 Murray 'did' play aggressive in the ATP Masters tournament 09 and still got his butt handed to him. Oh well, that's your theory out the window. Seriously though, people need to stop defending this guy. Hes a conceited moron and a terrible role model for young children. Anyone who has the audacity to scream in the face of opponents after every good shot they land has no place on the court. Nice job Federer, Thank goodness someone can keep that roid rager in his place.

[ItsMattChew]

well said well said. murray is a shithead.

[DSOxISxAxSTUD]

haha! That's me holding up the" Roger That" sign that I made at 6:50!! haha wooooo!

[Sonic2710]

as if we give a shit about ur sign

[swupstik]

Imperious dismissal from the GOAT.

[MrAmalfoy]

well said :)

[jourdal]
