Barclays ATP World Tour Finals - Day 4

[Murat Baslamisli]

Now Delpo gets out of a jam. Still on serve.

Novak saved a couple BPs early, looks settled now. One of the commentators, I don't know who they are, claimed delpo must be the cleanest ball striker ever. I thought maybe he hangs out with our mayor in Toronto...

Wow, Murat. Wow.

:snigger

Oops, did I say that out loud??? I must have meant it...:snigger

 

[Denis]

I really think Rafa shouldn't be playing tennis tomorrow. Might get infected.

 

[Denis]

And the break. Somehow I think this is going to be a relatively straightforward affair.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Nole breaks...he does look like he is half a gear away from totally dominating this match, but delpo can step it up too, as we all know.

 

[Kieran]

Del Potro always looks like he can step it up - but that's just how he looks.

Nole looks even better, well in control, not fatigued, and ready to close it out early. He's been a factor in every DP service game. Unless the big man ignites soon, he's in for an early bed time...

 

[kskate2]

I reckon this will go 3 sets. DP starts alot of these matches slowly and then kicks it in gear in the 2nd and 3rd sets.

 

[nehmeth]

Brad Gilbert just stated that Dimitrov and Raonic are his picks to be here next year. I think he's been partying with your mayor Murat.

 

[Kieran]

One thing that impressed me with Djoker since the post-US swing started is his ability to serve it out. I expect him to hold quite easily once he breaks...

 

[Denis]

I reckon this will go 3 sets. DP starts alot of these matches slowly and then kicks it in gear in the 2nd and 3rd sets.

I really doubt that. Unless we get a ride in the Nolecoaster.

Well, he sounds only HALF baked...I actually think Milos can make it...:snigger your second favorite player...:laydownlaughing

 

[Front242]

Very impressive set by Djokovic.

 

[Kieran]

Bingo. Great aggressive play there, and a second serve ace to finish it. Sampras-like! No higher compliment can be paid!

 

[Denis]

It depends on who falters of the guys who are here. Its a bit random these 6- 12 spots these days.

Well we all know that can happen so I wouldn't be so quick to call this straight sets.

 

[Kieran]

I don't see three sets happening here. Novak looks alive to the threat and if anyone is gonna step up, I think it's him. DP hasn't found his range yet - hasn't been allowed to...

:wow:

That would make me cry.

 

[Front242]

I mentioned this earlier but after seeing how Novak is playing now it seems pretty evident he's swinging a lot more freely without the pressure of year end number 1 to contend with. Now his goal is to munch up this tournament.

 

[Denis]

75% first serves
