2015 US Open SF: Novak Djokovic vs, Marin Cilic

[Carol]

After one bad year due to injuries but looking much better now If Cilic can control his nerves I think he can win not just the semis but he will be able to defend his title too.

 

[Front242]

^ Calm his nerves and make sure he has a good pre-match prep.

This match is postponed to 5 p.m. on Friday. The good news is that I can actually watch it due to change in schedule.

 

[Front242]

Yeah, likewise. Means Fed's match will be on stupidly late though :nono And I have to get up at 7am here on Saturday :/

You guys better stop complaining! I've been having to get up at 1 a.m. for the last 10 days! :snicker

You are a Murray/Berdych fan. You deserve far worst.

Stop complaining. I have friends who work on a country which have 41 hours difference and have to wake up two days early to see a match.

USA guy here...Australian Open is the one that I have recently had to wake up at around 2 AM in order to watch each year's final. It is always well worth it.

I remember watching Nadal-Verdasco semifinal and then leaving home at 7:30 AM with it STILL going on!

That match has been one of the best ones played in AO

Not enough tongue that time.

Yes, that's his style.

Actually I might vote correct. If Djoker will feel he is too strong for Cilic, he might extend it to 5 long sets... moving Fex match to 1-2 am. Tactical.

Then, 35 yr old might not recover till finals, if he get there.

Just thinking about the match order now; the #1 player vs the defending champion is the warm up act for Stan and Roger! The level of disrespect isn't unprecedented! It just makes no sense to me; esp. if Federer smokes him due to a heavy mental edge over Wawrinka! They better hope this goes as predicted; a whitewash with Nole over Cilic and Stan taking his match to 4 or 5 sets (win or lose)! ;-)

Fed's match will probably be over by 4am or later here and I have to get up at 7:30

That mental edge against Stan is long gone. A very distant past. No one has any edge over Stan when he's playing his best.

Yeah good point, don't mind tho. At least I can watch it.

Also it gives you a slight edge in the final being finished earlier.

I never understood why Hingis quit singles altogether, she can't be that bad right?
