And Haas did play better, not everything is winners and unforced errors u know. He pressured federer more which led to fed's unforced errors. It's called cause and effect mate.
genius, i was not being 100% serious when i suggested federer gifted haas with two sets :p

and if federer's errors were casued by haas' pressure, they would have been recorded as forced errors, not unforced :rolleyes:

not exactly, the human psychology is something hard to comprehend. Federer needed to return Haas' shots with a lot of power in order to stay in the point.

At the beginning of the match, Haas was merely keeping the ball in play, allowing Federer to dictate play. But by the 3rd set it was quite the opposite, and Federer couldn't dictate, and he found it hard to compensate; hence the so called "unforced errors".


I completly agree with rnitya_25, for once :D
She recognized that Haas improved his play in the 3rd and 4th set. Which is true.

You had to watch the whole match to observe the difference between the first two sets and the 3rd and 4th. The final set was when Federer stepped up his game and played some amazing tennis.

why thank you! someone out there...hehe.
federer did kinda have something happen to him after the 2nd set, but that's not all that contributed to his crappyness in the 3rd and 4th set, haas kinda took advantage of federer's weakness, stress and yeah.

I really don't like Hewitt. He doesn't have the fire and passion he used to have for tennis. I blame Bec.

Forced Error - when your opponent plays a shot which literally 'forces' you to lose a point, ie. good serve, well placed/powerful shot (nb. not to be confused with a winner)

Unforced Error - when the player misses a shot that by all rights they would normally have gotten in, but they just fucked it up - for whatever reason

Ah cool, thanks for clarifying that. :)

I personally thought Roger did alot more errors generally, some forced from his opponent, others were just because he wasn't played that well during that period of the match.

yeah i kinda noticed that too, they were mainly unforced errors though, he's like standing almost a metre to a ball and he misses it for whatever reason. but its not just him, also other players like when he played haas and when he played keifer yesterday. can't wait for federer vs. baghdatis!!
