2017 RG Semifinals: Murray vs. Wawrinka

[DarthFed]

My reverse-jinx skills are alive and well. Get this bagel Stan and rest up for the final, he will need it

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

That is the way to close it Stan, well done!

Beware Stanislas in finals of majors. Wow! Coming from two sets to one down to win in a tiebreaker and then run away with the fifth. Was he pointing to his temple area after points like he has done in the past, as if to say it is all in the mind?

 

[Denis]

Never write this dude off Denis!

Just giving Nadal the appropriate amount of credit. I will have to see it to believe it, and maybe I will still not believe W beat N. W is a dramatic matchup for Nadal. It's going to be nasty, brutish, and short.

I'm looking forward to the Thiem match though.

Hell yes he did. Especially in the fifth. I am happy for him, but Nadal won't just sail past him, he si a MAJOR threat. Not to mention his 3-0 record in GS finals.

@britbox , we might have mentioned something about Andy running out of gas in the 5th earlier in the thread. That type of retrieving tennis is very rarely sustainable , no?

The gesture means "Imagine what I could do if I had a brain".

Good stuff by Stan. I liked it. He looked good. He managed to hang in there and quietly waited for Murray to run out of stamina. Clinically he obliterated his opponent in the end. Good job!

 

[Shivashish Sarkar]

What a fight! OMG. Murray really couldn't save energy for the fifth after all that retrieving. I knew Stan was pulling this off though. When he reaches the SF of a slam, you know he is going to give his best. Entertaining ball-bashing!

Thiem vs Nadal is going to be another classic. Let's see.

It's 6pm over there. Wonder if Domi/Rafa will finish in time.

This is what I don't understand.
You know you don't have lights...why not start the 1st semifinal earlier? Was there rain?

Y dont they start at 11:00. They will never learn.

Nope. They won't
