Roger Federer vs Jan-Lennard Struff • Basel 2018

Roger in 2... Jan is tough but never took a set off Roger till now

This will be hard. Jan is tough.

Roger to prevail in 3

Straight ......sets a FED....

Really? Only 7 people think Struff? I reckon this goes to at least 3 with the way Rog is playing. But I hope I’m wrong

This year might be just the second time ever that Roger doesn’t make it past the group stage in the World Tour Finals

With Rogers recent form you cannot be sure....he had brilliant sparks in between....but over all not upto the standards....hope he gets through

@vamshi, I concur with your view. Physically Roger is good enough. Confidence, he will gain by winning a title. I wish he gets a fabulous grandslam next year, Wimbledon hopefully

Well we all know by federer standard he can finish the game in no time, but lately he seems to be less focused on his may be something disturbing him. Like we the fans he himself knows that he is 37 now and getting older each day. A brilliant 2017 and a fantastic start of this season set the standard really high for him. May be loss of som crucial close matches like the quarters of winbeldon abs final of Indian Wells disturbing him. I think its better if he focus more on the game will be better rather than thinking of result.

@vismai, past performance stats hardly matter in this new context of Roger's level fluctuating in any match against lower ranked players. Should he win this title, he can be a force to reckon with in London.

@balaji true that....Roger seems to have issues mentally...hence the over aggression....once he gets his confidence it will be different...but the question remains is....is it the pressure getting to him or is he really done....

At 37 he is better than most mind you

I guess there is one last burst left in him...may be one more hard fought grand slam title and then he is done...anyways it's a Fed fan speaking....

Yep Fed release d forehand..

By by Stuf

Everytime Fed runs around backhand you can feel it's an issue.

Today even he is having problem with his 121 game

Sharp set from the maestro

Roger is getting stronger every minut. Takes a little longer to get his winning form.

@Bikashshukla he finished the set in no time

Hmmm... decent start from Roger but he’s choked a lot in the last year

Double faults a bit concerning

@AK so was he expected atleast against this lower ranked players. But I think his service is still not as per his standards.

Yeah he is little bit down since wimbledon

He isn’t god he will have his bad days. Give him a break. He isn’t answerable to any of us.

There he b

I can smell a break coming..

Finish it early

Good stuff

Yes it is...

First service percentage 54% ? Seriously Federer ?

Yes federer needs to improve his first serve percentage
