Mens final: Hewitt v Safin

[Blue Red and Gold]

What a point!
I can sense Lleyton is uping his game a little bit but I dont think Safin will give him an inch.

 

[Stakerz]

OMG!!! There goes Hewitt..

 

[Stakerz]

How frustrating is this making everyone?

 

[Funkalicous]

Hewitt has to hold and hope to God the nerves get to Safin.

If by frustrated you mean sadistically pleased, then very

Squirm squirm, Lleyton, you're swinging on the hook and no amount of cmoning is going to get you off it this time.

Hewitt has to win the next three games or it's goodbye.

Hewitt has to win the next three games or it's goodbye.

Only 2 then it becomes 5-5 and a 2 game buffer is needed

Ok she is warming up

yes you're right...... technically.

 

[Sheeds]

How good is that Safin backhand seriously!!!
He just absolutely rifles it.

 

[Stakerz]

Massive butterflies, Safin serving.. Cmon Lleyton

 

[Funkalicous]

And it has arrived. The momment of truth.

 

[Macca19]

Safin serving for the match. Can his nerves hold up?

 

[Blue Red and Gold]

Safin hasnt looked like dropping a set since midway through the 2nd.

Great start with an Ace, doesnt look like choking.

 

[Funkalicous]

3 match points

 

[Catman]

Championship point...

Congratulations Marat Safin

I thought Lleyton had it all week. Well done to Lleyton as well and he will win an Aus Open one day

 

[Blue Red and Gold]

Bugger!

 

[Funkalicous]

[Sheeds]

Congrats to Marat, and bad luck to Lleyton.

[Stakerz]

f*** that!

 

[Sexiano Ronaldo]

The Greg Norman effect strikes again.

Go Safin!!

 

[Blue Red and Gold]

Marat was just too good, credit to him.
He could of easily thrown in the towel when Lleyton ripped him apart in that first set but he put his head down and played some amazing tennis.
If Marat has got his head right, he could dominate mens tennis this year in the same way Federer did last year.

Marat at his best I feel, is better than anyone, including Federer.
