Tignor jinxes Novak. At the start of the tourney, Tignor picked Rafa and you know what happened to him :snicker

There are chances of rain during the match. From 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. the chances are less than 25% and so most probably the match will go on without any issues. From 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. the chances of rain are greater than 25% but less than 50%.

Typically, the opening two sets between these two folks are very tight with a score line of 7-6 or 7-5. Moreover typically after the first two sets, it will be 1-1 in sets and they would have already eaten up more than 2 hours. So, there is a good chance that the match will not finish tomorrow (unless Andy feel hungry and is ready to eat some bakery products, which he usually does at the end of grueling matches).

I pray Nole comes out and tries to destroy Andy the way he performed against Theim! He shouldn't go into lockdown, defensive-mode and give Murray a chance to attack! He's serving and returning too well! :nono :angel: :dodgy:

it is the final we have all been waiting for/dreading..5 hr tennis Atari pong fest anyone ?.

Andy did not whine at himself or at his box when he lost the 3rd set to Stan. This is something very rare. He just kept his cool and took care of business. There is a small chance that he has grown up.
If that is true, .............

 

[Garro]

Murray has a chance here. Novak has played nervous and tentatively in all three French Open finals he has played in. I know that Murray's record against him has been dismal as of late, but he looked really good in his match against Stan, and I think Djokovic will have additional pressure of winning four consecutive majors. I am picking Murray to win in four sets.

Checked weather update. Chances of rain has increased.

Where are you checking that ? Google said around 12% at 15h. Then even less till 18h.

They have played each other so many times, I would think that he has a good idea of what he needs to do. Hopefully, they have a game plan for playing through the nerves, which will probably be the bigger obstacle.

It is easy for Stan to make anyone look good when he is misfiring.

Cut that down to 3h. Novak will use the drop shot to shorten the points...

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Novak lost a prime opportunity there.

 

[Front242]

The Tignor curse is in full effect !

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Djokovic better find another gear or Andy might just sneak this one out.

 

[Front242]

Well the first set is gone for sure anyway.

 

[Front242]

Djokovic seems very edgy, especially with that last call. Not boding well for today so far.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Kudos to Murray :clap

Without winning first set, he has 0 chances to win the match.

Now, he has taken the first step.

Hopefully, he can keep his composure and focus together for the whole match.

Djokovic better work it out before the headline reads Djokovic's usual bend over boy turns the tide and bends him over for a change.

Just goes to show how unpredictable sport is. Hypothetically let's say Murray wins today, I've always considered him a more natural grass court player than Djokovic and would favour him there too. Things can change very quickly.
