[Kirijax]

Thank you for proving me wrong Muzzfuzz! Cameras on Sailor-mouth Kimmy?

The big points in this match have been the real let down. There's been very few great points at high octane moments.

Novak now in the boss seat, he did very well to come back from 0-2 down to roll Andy...

The second set tiebreaker didn't decide things, did it?

The story of this match is basically whomever has the lead in the set he will likely lose the set. Hey, the good news is that the last set was not an hour and 20 minutes!

Wonder if Murray will be the one to serve up a gunk fest first here this set.

Hey buddy, I didn't say it did. In fact, nothing I've seen so far has changed my prediction that Novak would win...

 

[Federberg]

Murray should stop complaining about Novak's antics and just play. Mind you.. if Novak breaks here that probably means it's Andy's set!

What a ROS!

Yeah, like he's one to talk about antics with all the body grabs!

 

[Federberg]

Oh dear.. I guess this is going to 5 sets now! :nono

 

[rafanoy1992]

That was predictable from Murray...

See, instead of Murray complaining to his box about everything he should use his anger to play more aggressive tennis but instead he becomes more erratic with his play.

This is where Murray brain's is failing him. Instead of trusting his instincts he lets his brain let him down.

 

[TennisFanatic7]

Wake up Andy. Nole has been far from his best, this is (or was?) a golden opportunity!

 

[Kieran]

You can see in matches like this why it was always really only a Big 3 + 1. At this level, Andy isn't the man the others are, even when Nole isn't the man the Two are. Andy had so many chances but he looked second tier in how he played them...

 

[Federberg]

Will Novak go into stone cold killa mode?

 

[Kirijax]

I'm hungry for a bagel.

 

[Federberg]

Lol! Is Andy trying to ropa-dope Novak now?

 

[TennisFanatic7]

This is all but done. I'm sure after the change of ends Murray will be grinding out games and Nole will be the one dumping errors into the net but looks like Andy will be a double break down by then.

 

[Federberg]

Stick a fork in it...

Yup, it's almost a carbon copy of the women's final. Serena was sick, moving badly and it was a golden opportunity for Sharapova to stop the run of losses but she just couldn't do it.

 

[Kieran]

Basically, Andy is scrambled in defeatism now. His spirit is shattered.

From 2-0 up in the third, he's lost 8 out of 9 games, which is shocking, really...

EDIT: 9 out of 10...

 

[Front242]

Whoever wins this game wins the match imo.

Could everyone please stop saying that? I think I have heard or read that remark in 10 different scenarios in the last hour. It's not even 2-1 in sets yet.

We'll see. If Novak wins the set 6-3 it may well be the case.

Still think that was the turning point.
