[GameSetAndMath]

Contrary to what was anticipated in older forecasts, today looks good. All important matches should be done by the end of the day, even if there are some minor interruptions.

Friday and Saturday also look good.

Sunday and Monday look bad.

If by "good" you mean relatively free of rain, then yes. :cover

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

I see Djokovic is taking his rain woes seriously and coming strong out the gates. Smart of him.

 

[isabelle]

great start from Nole, hope the weather'll stay dry

 

[Puppet Master]

Why even play? Why not retire on the spot and give him a walkover? At least that way he won't get any real practice. Berdych you sad mug, you bag of sh^t. Retardych.

Your dislike of Djokovic borders on malevolence. :snicker He played six straight almost perfect games. It's the quarterfinal and about time he began playing well.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Djokovic's focus is even worse than Serena's at times.

I don't think you, or anyone else for that matter, have a word in their vocabulary that can describe my feelings toward that man. :laydownlaughing It's becoming like Voldemort. He who shall not be named. Ugh. It's easy to look good against Retardych, earlier this year Fed, playing at 45% still straight setted him in Australia, and deceived me into thinking he had any business in Australia then... Is he playing well? Yes. Is it unplayable, godly play that some fans make of it? Not even close. His level is about the same as it was last year at this time. But what the hell do I know...

 

[Puppet Master]

DON'T LET THE ZEBRAS DIE! YOU MONSTERS!!!HOW DARE YOU?!! PETA! HEEELP, SOMEONE, SAVE THESE MAJESTIC CREATURES FROM EXTINCTION!

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Thiem hit some top shots in that TB. Very impressive.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

If Thiem wins today, he will be #7 in the rankings. He is coming along very nicely.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

With the single hander and all, Thiem will have to be my new favorite after Roger

Solid win. There was some maturity there too...

..

Retardych is playing worse than the doorman of my building where I live and even that he was in the quarterfinal..... can you imagine how the others players have played?)

Glad to see Thiem move up and claim #7. I'm trying to think when the last time a 22-year old was ranked #7. Grigor made it to #8 but he was 23. Kei didn't breach the top 10 until he was 24. Milos reached the top 10 at 22 but was 23 when he got to #7. Del Potro probably.

Thiem will make it tough on Nole tomorrow! This won't be a cakewalk! :cover :angel: :dodgy:

Thiem will do the final softening act, taking Novak to 5 (and then losing), thus preparing for Andy/Stan to finish it off. If it is Andy, he deserves it as Andy did the softening act last year. It is time that Karma pays him back by somebody else doing the softening act this time.

Murray needs to stick to winning HC and indoor Masters' events! He's no clay champion IMO; not owed something as elite as a FO title! :nono :cover
