Sorry to say, but time's up. If he cant win matches like these with not even top 50 player. I dont know what to say anymore.
I am an Fed Fan, but time's up!
Just saw the end of third set. It didn't come as a big surprise that he lost but I didn't like what I saw in Federer's game. Well some parts was good, he's still technically masterclass but mentally and tactically he seemed totally off. I'm not sure what that means but it gives me a bad feeling. Congrats Pablo!
Put this shit in your little brain and repeat a lot, I support the players I like, does not matter if they have a lower ranking that the opponent. Looks like am living in your head. My God.
Agree with Leiron he becomes impatient and plays hyper agressive under pressure gifting easy points. For example-In the last game all the points won Andujar were Ufe from Feds racket. I would have been happy if he lost day with his opponent hitting winners to tame him at the end.
Contrary to most people's prediction about Roger, I feel Roger is going to surprise everyone at the French. It is just he lacks motivation at these small tournaments to focus and put that extra effort. He will be on song in grand slams.
I hope Federer has rested and recovered. I am expecting him to do really well at the French. I mean like really really well and reach last 4. I don't mind if he loses early in this tournament. Good luck Roger!🤞
Perhaps you guys a being over expectant of Fed on his return? This has to be the longest he has ever been out of the game. It take anyone time to get back into competing.
Roger either wins this in straights, very easy
or
loses in a defeat that"ll be tough to take
[a la Serena v Podoroska]
for him for a few days & tough for you fans, for a lot longer.
Then there will be all the excuses,
"....what were we expecting, he has been away for so long".
It's very difficult to come back & play to Roger' usual standard after so long away, but who knows, maybe the great Roger can.
If we're talking Doha
He will prefer Evans, but he will appreciate Basilashvili.
Roger is a realist.
Don't know what to expect here. Expectations are always high on Federer but this is completely unpredictable. Hopefully he'll win so that he gets more matches before RG.

Just needs matches.
All was explained many hours ago.
He performed better than I thought.

Good Luck on your long road to Wimbledon, sir.
