I know its not gonna happen....But go Ferrer.

Djokovic has the most boring game

Man, I'm getting tired watching this already. Dunno how Ferrer can mentally grind like this week in week out. Obviously he's very fit but mentally it'd be so taxing. He puts his heart and soul into every shot basically, he's an energizer bunny that doesn't run out of battery.

 

[Butcher32]

Thats why i called Ferrer a champion! unique ability really.The ferals here will be quick to say no no he is not a champion no slams blah blah but very few players have ferrers ability to grind it week in week out, specially when he is almost 30

5th game of the set and we have been going 30 minutes. Some long, taxing rallies already. What a lob by Novak there. Enjoying listening to Lleyton in the commentary box as well.

 

[Drummond]

Djoko should be up 5-0.

About time he got the break.

 

[Selective Retention]

I pity the doubles players on after these two. Will be a long wait.

 

[Drummond]

Djokovic is being way too passive this tournament, not happy at all.

Djokovic has the most boring game

Djokovic has the most boring game

that HAS to be a pisstake surely...

 

[OzBomber]

Can see Lleyton being one of those people who are maligned during their career, but change people's perception of them through being in the media after retirement. Love his insight.

Edit: That guy looks nothing like Hugh Jackman...

 

[Drummond]

What a rally, this is insane.

4-2 Novak.

 

[Chris_2593]

Do AO always play one mens SF on Thursday and the other on Friday? Giving Rafa/Fed a longer break?

 

[XFactor1979]

Long rallies

Do AO always play one mens SF on Thursday and the other on Friday? Giving Rafa/Fed a longer break?

Since they've had the night final they have. Rafa played Verdesco in that marathon on a friday and beat Fed in the final on a shortened break...

 

[crowsarethebest]

Ridiculous court coverage on the first point of the 2nd set by Novak. That was just crazy.

 

[XFactor1979]

the first game of the 2nd set took 9 minutes!

 

[Drummond]

I'm chucking $100 on Murray tomorrow.

Djokovic is done.

- Terrible body language
- Shots landing on the service line
- Serve not damaging

Tomorrow night is the final, the winner will beat Murray Sunday.

 

[roostersgal4eva]

Making too much of a big deal as usual....

EDIT....hammy

 

[Drummond]

^^ You serious??

Are you WATCHING THIS??

This is Djokovic/Tsonga AO 2010 all over again.

I'm freaking shattered watching this.

 

[roostersgal4eva]

The old Djockovic maybe.... The new one will fight on

Until the trainer comes out I'm still calling mountain. molehill time

 

[Drummond]

He fought on that night too, but lost.

Fight on here and then what?? Win and get slaughtered by Murray?

Djokovic's movement is MASSIVE in his game, and right now he's struggling to get around the court. He's got no real power in his defending and in his groundstrokes.

Ferrer in 4. Freaking Ferrer, Rafa last year, Novak this year. And then get rolled by Muzz. Who said history doesn't repeat?

 

[roostersgal4eva]

Oh calm down seriously...

No trainer has been called - why wouldn't he if it was a real issue??? Could be a sprain that calms down after a day for all we know

 

[Caesar]

Joker in clown mode.

Hope Ferrer can grab this set. He bores me to tears but he tries so hard that I can't help wanting him to do well.

 

[OzBomber]

Betting for this match and the tournament appears to have been suspended on sportsbet. Was wanting to chuck a lazy 20 on Rafa.

Djokovic should win tonight, even with his injury. He'll be extremely lucky to beat Murray.
