THIS IS IT! FEDERER VS GULBIS AT RG 2014

[Corbon]

Gulbis can't win in 5 sets so he must do it in 4.

First set: 7-6 Federer
Great match so far ! Good aggressiveness from Gulbis, good serve from Roger. Federer managed to come back like a true champion at 3-5 and 1 serve more for Gulbis in the tie-break

[Moralspain]

Good chance to see is Ernest has improved mentally, if he hasn't Fed will win in straights.

[Cro Morgan]

Gulbis can't win in 5 sets so he must do it in 4.

So true.

Nothing to do with the physical aspect, Gulbis would simply get bored.

Second Set: 7-6 Gulbis
A little bit less intense and a lot of drama here. First game Fed gets broken after leading 40-0. He brokes back in the next game. 5-3 Roger and 40-15 Roger at the serve gives away a point by hitting a smash towards Gulbis. Loses the game and goes 15-40 at 5-5 on his serve; Gulbis makes some errors and we go to the tie-break, well played by the latvian.

[djarvik]

Very tight match so far. Looks like both guys "almost on". Still making unforced errors at important times though, but also having some nice points.

That rackuet break by Gulbis -------priceless.

[Lucian86]

Third Set: 6-2 Gulbis
Bad one for Roger; Gulbis in control; he had some great lobs today

[Lucian86]

Fourth Set: 6-4 Federer
Pretty much the opposite of the last set except again some black out from Roger after Gulbis came back from the locker room (hate this rule/right players have) and almost got broken twice.

What's wrong with Roger in the last 2-3 years missing all these oppportunities (break points or decisive points on his serve) ? He was totally the opposite before that, one of the most cynical players in the game.

[Lucian86]

Fifth Set will be either Gulbis second win in 5 (hope I'm right with this) or my prediction right

[Ali-Iqb93]

I can see federer losing 5th set 6-2 now. Always the same story

[djarvik]

Federer in straight sets

Good call.

You were quite close with 5 sets BTW. No one called this.

[Lucian86]

Fifth and Final Set: 6-3 Gulbis !
Well done Gulbis. Congratulations for the biggest victory in your career so far. Good luck in the QF against Berdych. He can beat Thomas.
Indeed Federer seems unable to win a 5 setter anymore. Didn't have it anymore, both physically and psychologically. Also the power of his shots has become average throughout the years; he's getting overpowered even my Murray now.
Anyway, he still is a hard man to beat for everydody except Rafa.

Federer in straight sets

Good call.

Yea watever show off. Anyways was a good match. Credit to gulbis for holding his serve

[R0CK GAMER]

Well done to Gulbis on a well deserved win! ps: i think Djarvik should open a "Gubis Vs Berdych" poll, and we should vote!
