That Fed path to the championship went from unbelievably hard to very manageable in 2 days lol.

So Berdych then Querrey or Cilic are all that stands in front of him and another Major.

If you like guys that can only serve big and rarely a competitive game than sure, that is great. I prefer extended volleys and chances to break.

In the first set going into the tie break Querrey lost 6 points on serve and Cilic 4 points. It was big serve, return out or into the net or just punched back to the other player, then winner from server.

Since those unreturned serves don't count as aces or unforced errors it makes it look like a clean match, but it really wasn't competitive at all when the other served except for the one or twice Querrey was broken.

To me the love holds or 15 holds game after game is just not good tennis to watch.

You really like a match like this over a back and forth match like Muller and Nadal the other day where each had extended volleys and chances to break almost every service game?

I turned this one off early so maybe it got better in the end.

I enjoy watching all different types of play. I wouldn't refer to that match as "bad tennis". If you didn't enjoy, I can understand that.

Yeah maybe not bad tennis, just not enjoyable. What Fed is doing this match is enjoyable, dude can hit every shot and still hits big serves when needed.
