2014 Roland Garros SF: Djokovic vs. Gulbis

[tented]

Well then...I say fourth set to Nole 6-1. Any takers?

It won't be that easy. Maybe 6-3 or 6-4

Murat: I've consulted the crystal ball, and received an answer:

"It won't be that easy. Maybe 6-3 or 6-4"

 

[DarthFed]

Nole has gone completely off the deep end that set. I wouldn't be shocked if this 4th set goes down to the wire.

 

[herios]

Will Ernie now take a MTO?

 

[kskate2]

Ernie inexplicably surrenders his serve

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

I see Djokovic decided to wake up before Ernie really adjusted to his better level of playing.

 

[kskate2]

Will Ernie now take a MTO?

Maybe on the next changeover. It would be on his own serve

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Nole looks gassed a bit. I am wondering if it is a direct effect of the mental la la land he went to for a little bit.

 

[Denis]

Rafa is loving the weather I am sure. It's getting sunny and hot.

 

[kskate2]

wut! Back on serve and Novak destroys a racquet

 

[sid]

Nole not happy.

 

[DarthFed]

It just seems mental with Nole, you wouldn't think he'd get nervous at slam semis and finals but when you start consistently playing poor in them...

 

[herios]

Nole, you should have borrowed Janko's sunglasses...

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Nole better wake up or this semi could turn into something ugly quickly.

 

[Riotbeard]

Wake up Novak. I get to the library and Ernie has taken the third?!

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Wake up Novak. I get to the library and Ernie has taken the third?!

Quiet !

 

[Riotbeard]

On the radio, they wondered if novak was having physical issues. Any reason to believe this is true?

 

[herios]

Ernie is a gambler and it pays off. He hits into the sun his second serve as hard as the first and they land in. Good for him.

 

[crystalfire]

Just woke up. Should I be worried

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

On the radio, they wondered if novak was having physical issues. Any reason to believe this is true?

Looked a little gassed to me for a while. Ernie is having back issues again though.

 

[Riotbeard]

I heard novak declined an overrule earlier on. File that as evidence that Novak is a fair competitor even when it matters.
