[Damian]

Ostra walka od początku.

[DUN I LOVE]

Agresywnie Marin, podobnie jak rok temu zaczął. Nie ma zabawy w zwalnianie ręki.

[Wujek Toni]

Trzecia porażka z rzędu w finale się szykuje, monstrualną przewagę z głębi ma Chorwat.

Dajesz więcej takich jinxów, bo to dobrze działa na obraz gry jak się okazuje

Król gatunku przecież.

Pierwsze przełamanie na konto Szwajcara.

[Wujek Toni]

Póki co pierwszy serwis Cilicia oscyluje w granicach 20%, jak zacznie grać po ludzku to zacznie się piekło na returnie i pilnowanie każdego gema serwisowego.

[Federasta20]

Widzę, że już Fed z przełamaniem. Mam nadzieję, że w tej części Anglii nie będzie takich niespodzianek jak gdzie indziej.

[jarosword20]

Jest set, jeszcze dwa.

[DUN I LOVE]

Początek od wygranej partii, dokładnie jak w finale sprzed 3 lat.

[jarosword20]

Tylko tam jednak przeciwnik był trochę inny

[Rroggerr]

Nie mógł chyba gorzej w tym secie pograć Marin.

[Sowa]

Bardzo zestresowany Chorwat.

[Wujek Toni]

Początek meczu był w wykonaniu Chorwat mocny, po prostu nie tak łatwo ogolić Federera, kiedy nie jest kontuzjowany albo wypompowany jak trup pod koniec lata. Daleko jeszcze do jakichkolwiek rozstrzygnięć.

Wimbledon Men's Final Preview: Can Cilic stop the unstoppable Federer?

Spoiler:

“Does Cilic have a chance?” is the question of the hour at the All England Club. The answer is an emphatic yes. In fact, there may be as many good reasons for picking him as there are for picking his more famous and accomplished opponent.

Yes, Federer has a 6-1 record against Cilic, but their matches have tightened considerably over the last three years. At the Rogers Cup in 2014, Federer won in three close sets. Then, a month later, Cilic stunned him in the U.S. Open semifinals, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4. While Federer avenged that defeat in the Wimbledon quarterfinals last year, he had to pull off an epic, match-point-saving high-wire act to do it. The lesson we can take from those three matches is that Cilic’s game matches up well against Federer’s these days. His serve is strong enough to keep him close, and he has the reach and the two-handed backhand to do damage on his return. At the Open, and through the first two sets at Wimbledon last year, Cilic dominated the rallies.

If Cilic’s game is strong enough to stay with Federer’s, the question becomes psychological. How will he react if he builds a lead this time? It isn’t so much whether he believes he can win the match—of course he believes that. But does he believe he should win this match? I liked the way Cilic handled his first Wimbledon semi; things could have gotten a lot more complicated against Sam Querrey, but Cilic made sure they didn’t. Querrey, of course, is not Federer, but Cilic knows he can win majors, and he’s unlikely to be satisfied with a close loss and a moral victory on Sunday.

Federer has done just about everything right in this tournament. He hasn’t dropped a set, and he beat two quality opponents, Milos Raonic and Tomas Berdych, in his last two matches. The question for him will be how he reacts if he finds himself trailing for the first time this fortnight. Federer has looked a little tight in three first sets—against Dusan Lajovic, Mischa Zverev and Berdych. He managed to win them all in tiebreakers, and didn’t look back from there. For that reason, the first set of this final may be even more important than normal.

Over the last few years, we’ve seen Federer look very good early in Slams, only to falter at the end. He solved that problem in Australia, and kept the title-winning momentum going in Indian Wells and Miami. But has he solved it for good? Finally, rain is a possibility. While Federer obviously likes playing under a roof—he won the title under it in 2012—the big-serving Cilic shouldn’t be seriously disadvantaged by going indoors.

Whoever wins, this is a deserving contest, even if it doesn’t feature an all-Big Four showdown. Federer-Cilic at Wimbledon was the match of the year in 2016. Why shouldn’t we get to see it again in the final?

Winner: Cilic

Oj, to chyba Tignor zaliczy faila. <jakże mi przykro>

[DUN I LOVE]

Przerasta ranga meczu Marina. Ale hebel.

[Rroggerr]

Początek meczu był w wykonaniu Chorwat mocny, po prostu nie tak łatwo ogolić Federera, kiedy nie jest kontuzjowany albo wypompowany jak trup pod koniec lata. Daleko jeszcze do jakichkolwiek rozstrzygnięć.

Jeszcze trudniej grając beznadziejnie.

Ciekawe czy się podniesie, Fed ~80% pierwszego, więc może być z tym ciężko.

[Wujek Toni]

Niebezpiecznie wyluzowany jest Roger, oby z tego jeszcze tragedii nie było.
