2014 Aussie Open QF: Djokovic vs. Wawrinka

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

that lob was pathetic..

 

[brokenshoelace]

That's the kind of games Novak needs to win. Wawrinka seems a bit nervous and Novak is slowly getting back in.

 

[Denis]

All first serves this game by Stan...

Novak looks a bit better now, let's hope Stan keeps this level or gets nervous.

 

[brokenshoelace]

Whoa... that was Novak's best backhand of the match. Novak absolutely needs to read the serve down the middle now.

 

[kskate2]

big hold for Stan 3-3

 

[Moxie]

That was a big game for Stan to get through. I was smelling break there.

 

[kskate2]

big game here for Novak. can't lose the plot now

 

[brokenshoelace]

Stan needs to win this set because Novak is starting to pounce. His level is improving and Stan is having more difficulty holding.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

djokovic is chuntering to no one at all..

.maybe he is talking with his inner gimp.

 

[Moxie]

Stan needs to win this set because Novak is starting to pounce. His level is improving and Stan is having more difficulty holding.

Agreed. This is where Wawrinka proves his mettle. Not just coasting on Djokovic errors. He takes it to him, or he can't. Nole seems awake again. It doesn't take much for him to turn things around. (I mean, it does, unless you're Djokovic.)

 

[Goldenboy]

Novak is serving very well now, and Stan just looks like he is starting to tire. Not surprised the bookies still like Djokovic.

 

[DarthFed]

Classic case of a player losing confidence in his shots. Novak is just pushing it back into play off both ends and missing routine returns. Stan isn't donating that many errors but he isn't really that sharp either.

 

[Denis]

First bp in hours.

 

[Denis]

Attaboy Novak!!

 

[brokenshoelace]

Yeah, you could see this coming. Some otherworldly returning by Novak there though.

 

[kskate2]

I'm thinking we'll get a shirt ripping episode after the handshake.

 

[Denis]

This is what Djokovic needs hopefully.

 

[britbox]

Kudos Novak.

 

[DarthFed]

Hope that brings him back, all even if he holds here.

 

[tented]

I'm thinking we'll get a shirt ripping episode after the handshake.

:gross:
