By the way, whatever happened to live chats during these matches?

Isn't it semis and finals only?

No idea. That's why I'm asking. I think Murray-Roger warrants one.

We will put them up for SFs and Finals, though we've talked about one for the Fed-Murray QF, if folks are interested.

Wawrinka's inside out forehand doesn't have much of an angle on it, which makes him slightly easier to read.

And you are a great mystery. What is a moorhen? You do make me laugh, though. :)

Ha, thanks. Obviously it might not be worth it if people aren't up. Personally, I have the day off so I'll be here :)

Don't worry, I didn't know what it was either. Had to Google it.

It's essential that Djokovic steps it up. This is risky if he keeps playing like this.

And Stan gets the break...

Really good depth by Wawrinka on back to back points to get the break. Novak still asleep.

Dude…I figured it was some form of chicken…just don't know why JLLB thinks Novak is one, or that specific kind. He can't mean "chicken," because he's anything but. JLLB has his own iconography. Was just trying to get some insight. :laydownlaughing

The one thing about this is that despite being up, Wawrinka is still not hitting his bread and butter (the DTL backhand) well at all. Novak needs to capitalize.

Yes, also he is missing a lot of opportunities on Stan's second serve.

This is just poor.

How is Wawrinka's serve so effective against Djokovic?

3-1 Stan. Djokovic needs to go into his "I will not miss mode" soon. Stan will get tight, no question about it. Will be intriguing to see if he has the belief if he gets the set.

There's talk of the wind in the stadium. A bit swirly.

Wawrinka listening to my advice, stepping up on the 2nd serve returns and/or chipping them in instead of taking steps backwards. Magnus Norman reads Tennisfrontier. Confirmed.

Novak is being totally outplayed and missing a lot. This sucks.
