What do you think? Does Novak get his revenge? Or does John make it to the finals again?
Discuss.

I'll give Isner one for the crowd and the TB. But if Mr. ROS is clever, he'll come out quick and take the TB out as an option, and win it in two.

This match will be on Alex Dolgopolov's racquet. :cool:

If he wins the early match, then No1e will surely find a way to win.

Gotta go with Nole in three tight sets, with at least two tiebreaks.

Novak. I think in three. He hasn't been consistent enough to say two set win.

Nole has let big John make a fool of him twice before but I don't see it happening today.

I give Iznah a huge chance. He took out a 2012 Novak that was in better form than current Novak. It will go 3, but I think JI eeks out the win. Novak 2011 needs to show up to thwart John.

Wind might be a factor here. If I am Isner, I am lobbing Nole like crazy. His overheads can be a little suspect and if there is also wind involved...Isner's tactic should be serve as best as you can, use your backhand slice cleverly and any chance you get to hit the big forehand, go for it.

Well, I've got my seatbelt on, hoping this ride on the Nolecoaster doesn't have too many dips to it. Next to me is my father who is cheering on the giant - he said because he's American... and Roger will have an easier time with him in the final. Thanks Dad. :cover

Wind is a big factor alright and Novak doesn't handle it well. Better munch a few Windeze right about now.

Novak is going to have nightmares on that return on BP
