Yeah its huge! If he can take this second set the pressure will seriously be on.

Known bottler though. So he will have to win this, Novak won't give it to him. He's been here before... down and out - see French Open 2012.

He's a Steggler for that backhand.

This is massive hitting by Wawrinka. Incredible.

Reminds me of Wimbledon when Rossol beat Nadal. Everything he is hitting is going in. I remember Krajicek had a fortnight of it when he won Wimbledon as well.

So awesome seeing one of the big 3/4 being totally outplayed.

That 96 Wimbledon was awesome for upsets. So many top seeds lost very early doors and I remember the semis being Krajicek and Todd Martin who were both seeded then no names Stoltenburg and Malavai Washington.

I didn't watch the Rossol match, but yeah this has been incredible tennis.

 

[benchmark00]

Todd Martin, one of the greats.

 

[Jono]

Haha that Rosol match was on a different level. He was a nobody who literally peaked in life that day.

 

[Jono]

Todd Martin, one of the greats.

Need more grey haired tennis players

Lleyton is such a good commentator, just drop Courier to a show court already ffs.

 

[Jono]

Known bottler bottles it.

 

[Spark]

Could be it. Has to break in this game IMO or Novak will wake up in the 3rd from an even keel.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Fun while it lasted.

 

[benchmark00]

Go Novak.

One might say they should lleyt him commentate alone with Bruce.

 

[Jono]

**** I love these top players who just fight back from the brink. Novak did it for a living last year, as opposed to dominating like he did in 2011.

Come on, don't be silly

 

[morgieb]

Yeah...I think it's game over.

 

[Spark]

Haha, been some weird calls tonight

EDIT: Yeah I think that's it. Novak definitely stepping it up in this game.

What? Fight back? Wawrinka handed him his last service game. FMD I thought you watched this sport a lot.

It's sad but also hilarious when Stan bottles it. Which is very often.
