HUUUUGE endorsement for Australian Open and Australia worldwide , come Sunday night. What sort of television ratings will the mens and also womens final acheive ?

 

[teddytennisfan]

mean if GRIGOR won the way they played all night? i'd have been OK with it even if rafa lost.

 

[Tennis Fan]

How amazing is it that Rafa and Roger are still bringing this kind of tennis? I can't believe it.

 

[Moxie]

I have been really harsh on Grigor, but I was impressed tonight.

 

[britbox]

Ditto...

 

[teddytennisfan]

grigor just really deserved THAT kind of chance -- except in the last 2 games rafa showed what it means to win like he has all his career.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I must say I was impressed by Dimi,best I have seen him play

 

[teddytennisfan]

HEH - MOXIE -- I am a champion of PUTDOWNS on grigor, u know

 

[teddytennisfan]

but today -- hey -- thats what theycall "prove you wrong "

 

[Vince Evert]

I written him off as i expected Nadal would wear him down mentally in the fourth set but Grigor absorbed all that pressure serving twice to save the match !

 

[Carol]

I love the hug of both players on the net, Dimi looks to be a very nice guy

 

[Tennis Fan]

Man, that was amazing. I forgot that I was sleepy and about to go to bed around 3 a.m.

 

[teddytennisfan]

[teddytennisfan]

[brokenshoelace]

[DarthFed]

Great match, Rafa clutch as always. He goes big on the big points, got to respect it

 

[teddytennisfan]

[Tennis Fan]

That's what I thought, Carol. Grigor seems very nice in his interviews and respectful to other players. He's on my list of favorites now.
