Australian Open 2017 - Day 12

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

What an absolutely ******* incredible match. Just unbelievable. The standard of tennis for the last three or four sets was just astonishing, with only a few moments of let up from either of them.

A phenomenal effort from both. I hope this sets up Dimitrov for the rest of his career - because we know for sure now that he belongs.

 

[Xtreme]

Yes Rafa now take out Taliban Federer on Sunday and save the world

P.S Hamish just exploded everywhere

 

[kozi]

Can't we have Rafa v Dimitrov in the final?

 

[getgaff]

Hope Federer wipes the floor with the Spanish pest on Sunday and he gets unlimited time violations like he should get.

Grigor has lost no fans and gained plenty

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Roger v Rafa
Serena v Venus

What year is this?

 

[smasha]

Hold your head high Dimitrov ,amazing fight.
The dream final on Sunday!

 

[Drummond]

Rafa I love you.

Dimitrov you were unbelievable. And all class at the end.

 

[ChookMFC]

Good tennis match that one.

 

[crowsarethebest]

Well the dream final is here. Dimitrov what a match son!

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Roger v Rafa
Serena v Venus

What year is this?

[Andronicus]

Sorry I upset you

Says the guy that questioned how anyone could want nadal to win.....

 

[BobbyMorri]

god damn, every tennis forum in the world will be intolerable for the next couple of months

 

[juice t]

Roger v Rafa
Serena v Venus

What year is this?

2008 apparently

 

[electricfeel]

Totally reminds me of the Djokovic v Wawrinka match from 2013. Hopefully Grigor ends up a three time grand slam winner too

Says the guy that questioned how anyone could want nadal to win.....

Yes, thank you for confirming what I already said

 

[Hawks1523]

*! YES! Rafa!

 

[bato]

I swear Rafa makes the best speeches.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

It's a promoters dream this weekend.

The Williams sisters take on each other tomorrow night and arguably the two greatest players in the Open Era play each other in another Grand Slam Final on Sunday night.

I think Rafa will defeat Federer on Sunday. It feels like 2009 all over again.

 

[ItsGameTime]

This is similar to 2002.

Safin Rank #9 - Rafa Rank #9
Johanssen Rank #16 - Federer Rank #17

Saying that, Federer will win.

 

[Flameboy]

You bloody ripper!

 

[RAPPA]

All the hype yet both finals have the potential to be straight set fizzers.

 

[getgaff]

The dream final on Sunday!

Promoters dream for certain. Will be a packed to the rafters RLA

Sports. It's okay.

Great match though. Really great match.

It is the best 2 in both sexes.

Fed and Serena are number 1. Rafa and Venus(she has 7 after all), are number 2 in all active players.

This is similar to 2002.

Safin Rank #9 - Rafa Rank #9
Johanssen Rank #16 - Federer Rank #17

Has Federer won easily against Nadal ever?
