Federer already been broken by Ljubicic.

There's some discussion (mainly from trolls, but for once it's not complete drivel) that Fed might tank this match......I sincerely doubt it somehow. but it'll be interesting to see how it goes....

I doubt he'll really tank it, but Ljubicic will certainly be more motivated to win this match than Fed. Fed's not going to to exhaust himself with a possible best-of-five in the final awaiting him.

and there goes Ljubcic's break.......

Federer breaks back then holds to lead 4-3

Ljubcic's holds to love 4-4

Federer holds from 15-40 down and leads 5-4

Tie-break......

Fed 5-2 up in the tiebreak... :bow:

Don't anyone talk of him tanking this match! :angry:

And he takes it 7-2! :yahoo: :bow: :bigwave:

GO FED :bow: :bow: :bow:

Fed's a break up, 3-1.

Fed wins 7-6, 6-4!!

:bigwave:

Just had a student here, and in the meantime Federer takes it, 7-6, 6-4!

:bow: :bigwave: :yahoo:

Ljubicic must be annoyed that Federer can still beat him and deny him entrance into the knockout stages, even when the match clearly couldn't have been of the utmost importance to Roger ...

reasons to tank;
save energy
present for his friend ljubi
avoid nadal encounter next round

BUT; Fed is a great champion, and champions don't tank
:bow: :bow::bow::bow::bow::bow::bow::bow::bow::bow:

Well said. :)

Well Done Feds!

And thanks for keeping me up to date again folks!
