2014 Aussie Open QF: Djokovic vs. Wawrinka

[tented]

It's now or never for Stan. If he doesn't break right now, he'll never win.

 

[Moxie]

Wawrinka will not break in a million years unless he steps it up on the return. Novak missed 3 first serves and still took the game at love. You can't just rely on him to tighten up.

Which is why he won't win this.

Broken tried to put me to bed after the first set. Luckily, I hung in there. I'm sleepy, but I'm only staying up because I think the result isn't a foregone conclusion. Loving the drama!

I'm telling mom and dad...

 

[brokenshoelace]

It's not a foregone conclusion, otherwise they wouldn't be tied at 7-7 in the fifth, but Novak seems to me like he has the bigger chance of breaking.

 

[DarthFed]

That was huge, longer it goes the more it favors Novak for sure.

I'm about ready to go to bed. I'm certainly not hanging around for the chest-thumping, screaming, and shirt rending.

Nole's returning and everything except his serve has been so weak that he really might not pull this off

When's the last time Novak lost a match like this to someone not named Nadal?

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

What's wrong with these two? Can't you just settle it over a pint?

I agree. It used to be a good sign as soon as he turned things into a rally, but Stan is winning most of them now.

Stay on your side of the couch, and stop touching me. :laydownlaughing

 

[Riotbeard]

Just woke up. Come on Nole!

 

[DarthFed]

Nole is getting toasted from the baseline. I think Stan takes this in the next couple Nole service games.

 

[brokenshoelace]

Oh for god's sake, just attack the second serve.

Murray at the US Open. Nole hasn't lost to any non elite players at slams since 2010

 

[DarthFed]

Just weird, one of the best serving performances of Djokers life and he might lose in Australia due to the rest of his game being utter trash

 

[DarthFed]

This is curtains if he doesn't serve out if it

I hope you're not equating those things.

 

[DarthFed]

Pathetic

 

[Riotbeard]

pooooh.
