Federror begone! >____< oh god 2 bps for del potro

Wind really swirling around. Roger's serve is definitely saving him bigtime from his UEs. Half of his winners are from aces alone haha.

Federer saves the first, saves the second and I see JMDP on the ground, maybe he slipped?

My poor widdle heart. Federer holds to make it 1-all.

So much tension. Come on! I have a stream open but most of the time it's a slideshow still, but it's alright.

I think Federer is playing better from the baseline now. Hopefully he can keep up his serving as well.
