The Bird Dick is up 2 sets and a break!

Will choke.

Choked in the 3rd, but not the 4th!!!

Good thing I decided on not going to the semis this year. Would have been such a let down to not watch Federer.

 

[Jono]

When is the last time both Rafa and Roger were not part of the semis of a Grand Slam? Gotta be talking 2003 or something here.

2004 French Open. The one Gastón Gaudio won.

I guess this means Tipsarević is nailed on for this one.

Not worth watching with Bog Brush the only gun left.

Berdych cracked it when he was compared to Lukas Rosol (the guy who beat Nadal at Wimbledon)

If Murray scrapes through here he really needs to stop bollocksing up so many break points. Seems to break on the 4th/5th one he gets.

Tornado stop play. Nice.

 

[Jono]

It is extremely noticeable how much more Novak is coming into the net this tournament, at least in the latter stages.

Obviously trying to change things up after his Wimbledon and Cincinnati losses to Fed, and Olympic losses to Murray and Delpo.

Good to see. Has come out today and absolutely blized Ferrer after his mentally piss poor performance yesterday due to the impending tornado.

Serena breaks Azarenka at 4-5 in the third with Azarenka serving for the championship.

Going to take some guts for Azarenka to have the stomach to get over that.

 

[Jono]

From 3-5 to 7-5 in the third.

Serena (Y)

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Wonder if Azarenka is as noisy in bed?

Come on Murray tonight.

I hope Djoker eats him alive and then uses his bones to pick the food from his teeth.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Nah, Murray's a miserable Scots Presbyterian get, but Djokovic is actually a ****.

Again, one of the most mind bogglingly common perceptions. Honestly don't know how people think that. Genuinely think he's impossible not to like.


Two breaks to start the match. Is this womens tennis?

 

[stumpski]

I thought this was starting at 8.00 (when Sky left the cricket) not 9.15. Do these Yanks have no consideration? Some of us have to be up early tomorrow.


Will watch the first set anyway, if Murray loses that he's toast.

Just don't see it; he's one of those ****s who's been told he's funny but isn't and is a proven jibber. Has quit on his stool more times than any other pro tennis player ever.

I do find him funny itbt. And yeah he has been mentally weak at times, especially in the Australia heat, but he's a very humble champion, which is more than can be said Federer, who has fooled everyone in thinking he is humble.
