I put this firmly on your shoulders archie!

Into a 4th we go. I'd really like to not be a zombie tomorrow at work, but I ain't going to bed.

Don't worry mate I will stay until the end Could be an all time classic

This really is similar to Borg and McEnroe in '81.

Yes! With last year's final being incredibly similar to Borg and McEnroe in 80.

Dying here. Ready to feast on brains.

Would rather lapse into a coma than see Nadal win and me getting some sleep.

Apparently it's gone to 4 sets now. Either that or the last 95 posts in a row saying "going to a 4th set" are wrong.

Stupid England, get a better timecycle so it's not 4am with the prospect of another couple of hours.

Read an article recently where Borg claimed he was tired of the pressure and pretty much wanted to lose in '81. Can't say the same about Federer, I guess.

I'd guess Borg was paid to say that.

First time Federer's had to serve to stay in the match as far as I can remember.

This will be a massive game obviously. Nadal should just all out attack, and any second serve just have a crack. Put the pressure on Roger.

 

[Jono]

0-30. HERE WE GO!

Come on Rafa.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Uh oh. 'mon Rog.

Yay pressure point won.

Yay second serve won.

Didnt watch the French Open Final but cant ever remeber Federer looking so nervous or making so many unforced errors

 

[Jono]

Roger you're so good. Its amazing.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Fed dodges a HUGE bullet. 5-5.

 

[ohtani's jacket]

Man,

I wonder if Sanz is still watching.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

We're off to another breaker!

Fed looking shaky.

 

[Jono]

Please Rafa please!

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

YES!

What a point!

 

[pasag]

Haha, amazing point.

So does Nadal. Particularly after that first point of the tie-break, he's just like "what more can I do?"

 

[duffer]

I can feel a 5th coming on
