If he’s going to hit every shot long this is going to be a very quick match.

Felix needs to calm the nerves and settle down in the 2nd set. Still a long match

The beauty of five sets is you can throw a set away and be fine, just find the rhythm by the end of the set and move forward.

Yeah, such a high after beating Zverev. Tough to get right back on the horse and we know that Matteo doesn't have the serve demons that Zverev does.

I hate to say it but Felix's only chance here would appear to be some very defensive anti-tennis.

Feiix is starting to track the Berrettini serve. It bodes well if it can continue.

I don't know if it has to be negative tennis per se (remember to get the terms right!), he definitely needs to mix in a lot more variety to get Berrenttini off balance.

I get your pet thing about negative tennis vs. anti tennis but as far as I'm concerned they're synonyms. Being a servebot is just called being a servebot.
Anyway, this is promising.

Negative tennis still wants to play tennis, anti-tennis just wants to serve.

Yeah, like I said, I get it, but that isn't how the terms are usually used as far as I'm aware. They're just the same thing (and almost no one says "negative tennis").

Not a great first set, but maybe Felix is starting to get the measure of Matteo.

Remember when Girly said Wimbledon rigged the Medvedev situation to help Federer? Good times....

Like I said - everyone just describes being a brick wall and playing to get balls in and wait for errors, while passing up opportunities for winners, as "anti-tennis". Meanwhile, no one really uses "negative tennis" at all, and on the off-chance they do, they use it to mean the same thing. Being a servebot is just referred to as being a servebot.

They did, but Federer is sadly beyond help.

Well I guess we should all enjoy what is probably gonna be Roger's final match at Wimbledon. Although going out meekly like this is pretty sad.

Oh I know. We'll see if they close the roof and start allowing hooligans into Centre for a last gasp to save him.

Berrettini is certainly there for the taking today, but Felix needs to keep run of the mill rally balls in play.
