good win for Gulbis. He still has a lot of work to do mentally... if Fed had been "on his game" today, which he clearly wasn't at all, he would have won that match when he got the break in the third. But I bet beating Roger will do a lot to help Gulbis up in the head.

I am starting to think I have watched a different match. :?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTuFHddyTng

To me, Fedrer was "on" the first set. Then Gulbis went "on" and prettey much outplayed Federer. Yeah Fed hit a few lose FHs....but really, in what match he doesn't? ....even when he is "on"? ....yeah Gulbis choked a bit having 7 match points and all....but can you blame a 21 y/o playing against number 1 in the world? Federer was not "on", because Gulbis didn't let him get "on". Not because his form is off or anything.

He just got Gulbeed of the court. :lol:

Gotta disagree, Fed is in bad form and never really was on. But Gulbis played great and deserved the win and thats all that really matters, isnt it? :)

Oh yeah, I'm not saying that Gulbis didn't deserve the match, he played great.

But when he served for the match at 5-4 and lost 6 match points, that is when Fed usually turns it on. I don't know if Fed has EVER broken like that, stolen all the momentum, and then hit like 3 HORRIBLE forehand errors to give the break right back. I think everyone was pretty shocked there... usually he takes advantages of little miscues like that from his opponents and rolls to victory.

So yeah, I think his confidence is in the basement right now.

Fed was "on". Gulbis put him off. Coke, please....what this is mysterious "Fed on" you speak of? :lol:

Nick said it best, Fed's confidence was shaking at 5.5, Belive me, he WANTED to win this one. Up until this point, Gulbis didn't show the signs of slowing down. Only when Match points came in he started to think of the win. Fed should have capitalized on that. He didn't. Why? ....my thinking is that he was too worried about his serve. Once he missed the first, he was in trouble the whle match. Then come "the lose FH" that has been with Fed all the time in all his matches, always! It never once actually left him. Sometimes it dissapears mid match, sometimes end of match.....but it ALWAYS goes away at some point of the match. If anything, Gulbis hit more erorors and lose forehands...he could have closed the match much earlier......before the so called "Not comeback by Fed" right?

BTW - I watched the whole match live, not the highlights man.

:lol: :lol: - at this statement. A player like Gulbis always has a chance, that is why I love watching him play....chance is all he is about. :lol:

Gulbis on Fed:

“I don't think he played his best tennis because it was his first match on clay and I don't think that he liked the draw that he had to play against me," Gulbis said. "We had a tough match in Doha, also in three sets. [Today] I was very nervous and I didn't start well. He broke me immediately but after, I found my game and I didn't start missing so much and he started missing. I put a lot of balls in and I tried to run more and so it went my way.”

I think he said it well. I think we will see more form Gul VS Fed. Looks like Fed doesn't like playing him much.

Well gulbis was definitely better player in that match. I was just going wtf fed what is this at some of the things he did. I'm glad he lost though because fed basically said it was the kick up the backside he needed to get going and made him further realise that he needs to train harder to stay on top. Seriously sometimes out of gs he doesn't seem like he practices at all and expects to win, which as great as he is you just can't do with the depth we have now. Gulbis played great though I really wished fed didn't make as many silly decisions and mistakes otherwise it would've been a better match. I think this gives almagro an even better chance to get further as for the most part fed gets better and better as tournament gets a long. I don't think any off this affects who wins the tournament though tbh.

i didn´t saw the match.
i only saw statistics and a few rallys what was posted here

when gulbis beats federer with the result he did its definitifly deserved-
he simply was better that day as federer - we must accept and respect that.

GULBIS is a good skilled player -no doubt about .
as a pro you can beat everyone at a good day when your opponent play not 100 % ,also when you must play about federer . thats tennis

I've never understood the whole "he was on" or "he was off" or "if this, if that". All that is irrelevant. There are no "if"'s in sports, that's why we play the game and that's why we keep score.

If my aunt had a pair of balls, she'd be my uncle. If pigs flew, then they'd be birds. And on and on. "if" arguments are stupid. The result is the result, without qualification and without explanation.

Gulbis won, he was the better player on that day, that's it. Sorry Rog, back to the drawing board.
