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

:gross:

Agreed. But can't you feel it in the air?

Close! A Monégasque werewolf in Melbourne.

Oh, sure. He loves to do that.

Almost took out a ball boy there haha

 

[Denis]

Novak is such a champ. True grit there. Now let's hope he keeps it up in the fifth.

 

[DarthFed]

Poor serving to start the game but very clutch serving to end it.

 

[kskate2]

2 sets all. Heading to the decider where Stan will serve first

 

[Goldenboy]

Amazing return game at 4-3 from Novak. Only thing in Stan's favor now is he is serving first. But I expect Novak to take this 6-2.

 

[DarthFed]

Another 12-10 here? Probably not, Nole should take this 6-4 or 6-3

 

[Denis]

He got the break 40-0 down by the way.

 

[Denis]

Aussie TV commentators just said Djokovic is still the overwhelming favourite with the bookies.

That really surprised me at that point. You would think his chances were not great the way he was playing.

I hope that keeps his spirit up. It's got to be better than serving from behind, if nothing else.

 

[Denis]

Dtl backhand has not been working all match for Novak. He's going a lot cc, because of it.

 

[brokenshoelace]

Novak's defense makes such a difference. That's actually the biggest difference in this particular match-up. When Novak hits the sort of shots Wawrinka is, the point is over. For Wawrinka, not even close.

 

[brokenshoelace]

Why wouldn't you just go to the open court with the first volley?

 

[DarthFed]

They haven't even gone 3 hours yet, fatigue shouldn't be an issue.

 

[Denis]

And the break.

 

[DarthFed]

Excellent point from Novak to earn the break!

 

[kskate2]

Stan is wearing down and Novak gets the early break. 2-1
