This is going for the long haul!

[Chris_2593]

Yes! Scene is set for another classic.

 

[rippersnipper]

This is already longer than the women's final isn't it

 

[Kaan]

No Bruce, Novak was never going to forfeit.

 

[94_Eagles]

Looks like he (she???) just escaped from the mental hosptial.

Hahaha so true

 

[vaughany]

Epic. Quality. Grand. Slam.Tennis.

Got to love it.

Care to address my points instead of just making yourself sound as clichéd and trite as Bruce?!

OK let's try:

- The quality of tennis is actually improving as the points become more important.
- The ability of both players to turn the point from defense to offense is like nothing we have seen before.
- The athletic ability from both players.
- Both players playing quite aggressive, especially in comparison to many of their previous match ups.
- 2 hours and 10 minutes of high quality, high emotion tennis and they cannot be split. We are only about to start the third set.

Do you want more? If you don't enjoy this, switch off and don't bother watching tennis again.

I wonder if him and Watto use the same brand?

This is ****ed, 2.5 hours for 2 sets... Amazing match so far though, the amount of 20+ ball rallies is insane. The atheticism and fitness is crazy. There's so little between each player!

 

[94_Eagles]

Can't believe I'm out of booze

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

So, equal prizemoney eh?

 

[Xtreme]

Carna Aussie Murray!

Wow thought he threw the racquet down in frustration but he looks buggered.

 

[pepsi]

But Murray should have really been in a much stronger position against an opponent who's clearly nowhere near 100% fit.

If anything Novak should be 2-sets up. Leading both sets and up a break and could have taken both.

Novak not 100% is a cop out. How do you quantify that statement by the way?

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Murray deserved that second set! Worked bloody hard to win that.

This is turning into an epic! The standard is close to what we saw in 2012 between Djokovic and Nadal.

 

[94_Eagles]

So, equal prizemoney eh?

Men and women?

 

[94_Eagles]

Novak looks farked

 

[Cristiano Ronaldo]

Novak needs to win this set. Looks cooked

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Carna Aussie Murray!

Yes, I am barracking for the surly Scot also!

Oh please. It sounds like you've never watched a match in your life before between any of Joker-Federer-Nadal-Murray. There have been insanely good contests between them for many years. They are among the greatest players of all time for Pete's sake. Bottom line is that, if Murray loses this match, he will probably regret it more than any other before. He has had golden opportunities all night to take control over a wounded (but fantastic) opponent but he's really struggling to do so, and more than he should be.

 

[94_Eagles]

Murray got dis now

He's well ****ed

 

[fiction]

Novak can't even stand properly.

 

[Rod Stroker]

What is this I don't even

 

[TheDrop]

Djokovic is ****ed, he was looking cooked late in the semi-final if i recall correctly too.

 

[Neese]

Novak???
