2015 French Open Semifinal: Djokovic v. Murray

[kskate2]

I wonder how the fans of Novak and Andy will sleep tonight? Maybe it'll be difficult to doze off. Could be the minds will be racing, spinning like video wheels replaying certain points over, dreaming up tight and tense victorious scenarios, or miserably fretting over dreaded nightmare endings?

I wonder how the two players will sleep too. I reckon they'll probably be too knackered to lie awake staring at the ceiling. Maybe it's novaks turn to stay in and mind the kids while Jekena has her usual Friday night out on the tear...

If I were NOLE, I wouldn't feel the pressure! I would say to myself, "I've beaten this clown the last 7 or 8 times and fed him a bagel in the final set the last couple times! There's no way I shouldn't be able to go out there tomorrow as a warm-up act for Serena and close this out by holding serve twice and breaking his once with the best service return on the tour!" Believe it! :angel: :dodgy: :clap - For those who need to know, NBC should be telecasting the FO at 9 am, EDT; 8 am CDT!

We can't watch LIVE in US for Nole-Murray?:huh::huh::huh:

TTC is supposed to air the junior boys final at 7am EST, but if they have live men's action going on I gotta think they'll show that over the boys final.

Looking on the bright side for Murray, Djokovic has be a bit agitated that he couldn't finish it off. Now he loses a day off while Wawrinka, a player who always seems to push to the limit is resting comfortablely. Murray started off badly but was going toe-to-toe with Djokovic there at the end so he has to be feeling good about his chances. Three more games and they are in a fifth set. He won't fold up into a bagel with the extra rest. It all depends on how each player comes out tomorrow. Murray has got to start on all cylinders firing or it could be over soon. You know he and his camp know that. We'll see if Judy, Kim and Amelie can get him fired up.

I think it's pretty pathetic that, in 2015, GS semifinal matches are being suspended because of the weather.

It's almost as if an indoor stadium is too much to ask.

Like I said earlier, even if we don't go all the way indoor, at least have "center court" with a roof! I guess the USO will catch up by next year! Hard to believe Wimbledon beat us to it! Just think, that first year it came into play since rain interrupted Nadal's match with Risol in the 2nd Rd! Supposedly it changed the momentum and atmosphere of the match and Nadal was gone early for the first time since becoming #1! :nono :cover :angel:

Especially a sport that has to stop at the slightest bit of rain.

It must have been a huge storm arriving. You see how fast the crowd got out of there? They could have a fire alarm going on at the USO, and 30 min. later, stragglers would need to be kicked out for the night session! :snicker :angel:

they should play the French open on the moon, it never rains on the moon.

plenty of room too, not many buildings or planning restrictions on the moon.

The balls would have to be heavier than they already are! lol! :lolz: :snicker

 

[Kirijax]

Nadal would complain though. That rules out the moon. :snicker

Novak won't mind playing today. Even if he lost this set 7-6, and wins 7-5 in the fifth, he won't be tired tomorrow...

Yeah, you're right. Just a nice practice session for him. IF he wins...

 

[TennisFanatic7]

Fingers crossed. It would be a huge anti climax if Novak went and won three games straight away. Andy needs an aggressive return game from the off and to play the crowd again, then we may see a 5th set where anything could happen...
