[crystalfire]

If djoker and fed also lose I hope kyrgios goes all the way

Novak is going to be given far too many opportunities in this match not to win it...

 

[Moxie]

You better take a little nap, Matt, because this looks to be going 5.

Don't say that... uzzled

If I nap, I'll either sleep through it or wake up feeling 10x as tired.

There's a reason "also rans" rarely beat the top players! I think Cilic will fall off when it gets tight if Nole keeps his head! So far so good! :nono :angel:

 

[Kieran]

This one is definitely going to five...

 

[TsarMatt]

This one is definitely going to five...

That's it, I'm going to London next Wimbledon. This tournament is ruining my sleeping routine.

 

[Moxie]

I wish Novak would put his hat back on, because if I forget who's on which end, I can't tell them apart.

Here we go; the big choke! :clap :laydownlaughing :angel:

That's what aus open does to me hahaha

 

[Kieran]

Cough Drop is choking. Actually - that's not a jibe...

 

[TsarMatt]

Nole is a troll. He's now up a break in the 5th.

Why do this?!

 

[TennisFanatic7]

Didn't see this going five or even four. Fair play to Cilic but Novak has this now.

I expected 4 because Cilic was playing well and serving out of his mind! :angel: There's a reason Nole has a great record against players like this; he's just better at it!

 

[crystalfire]

He still needs to hold his serve and serve it out possibly. He's had trouble serving matches out recently.

If you mean Nole, that isn't a first! I don't know what it is, but against just about anyone, he's lost his serve at inopportune times like his USO year! He should have won in straight sets in the final, but I said to myself, he was going to drop serve to Nadal and lose that TB! It happened! It's not like he made errors; maybe pulled back a bit and players take chances that have paid off! It happens a lot; believe me! :nono uzzled :angel:

Well, looks as though Boris gets to keep his job. Novak wins it 6-2 in the 5th. Dodged a bullet there.

 

[Kieran]

A soft bullet. Nole should have won the third set, but he somehow conspired to lose it. He'll be glad to go through, but he'll need to raise his levels...

Sorry, but Cilic is the personification of "his pigeon" when it comes to Nole! Players who know they can come back will just about get through every time! Roger should beat Wawrinka comfortably, but I just don't know after seeing them split sets! Fed still has the mental edge, but Stan can surprise; did it enough at AO and Masters win recently on clay!

There never was a possibility of him winning in straights. He was clearly outplayed in the first set which Nadal won 6:2. Until the end of the third set, which Novak by the way lost 4:6 and not in a tiebreak, a four-set-win seemed realistic, but there's no way to reasonably claim he should have won the first.
