He's not annoyed because he's being challenged, he's annoyed because he's not playing well. The last 3 games was probably the best he's played the last two days. He's been missing routine shots, especially on the forehand side. He knows he needs to play better to win Wimbledon. If he picks up where he left off today, he won't be as ornery tomorrow. If he reverts back to the form that got him broken twice in the second set, then he will be.
Like really.
I don't mind watching federer struggle.
Winning is fine.
But at this stage of career, its more surreal to just watch Rafa and Roger play than win.
Because you know the end is near.
Its just like how more can we watch them play.
This tournament has been so easy, not sure why Roger won't test himself and play some other grass tourney ...very boring and predictable...what fan wants that?! And, I like Roger
I myself like Federer but think after the big 4 go what will be the status of Tennis. Its time new guys play consistently and take over so that TENNIS doesn’t suffer.
Held his nerve yet again.
Great practice .
Federer won't mind this.
He is the GOAT
Haters, switch to the silence mode

More federer stays on court, more nice it is.
100 at SW19 hope still alive.
Good work.
You would rather play these sort of real matches rather than soft practice sessions before a grand slam.
Plus I dont think fitness is any issue.
Coz a 3 month beak's been enough..way to go Rog.
