It's not for lack of effort.give The Greek credit..he is throwing everything he has at the World's#1
I am he should have won the match by now,he has had enough chances and Novak is not playing well at all
The Young Greek will serve to force a t/break and stay in the final set

Have you seen better defense than both players
As i said before I am impressed with the improvement of the Young Greek.,defense wise
Yes I have with Rafa playing Sasha in their q/final match,Rafa was sublime on defense saving 8 BPs,though back to this match

Old master did it.
I feel sorry for the Greek, after his tough loss in Barca, now the same!

Novak was lucky with the win....The Young Greek has soo many BPs and blew his chances,still a learning curve for him.,serving for the match and blew it.

Sonego is playing well again today. I can't believe this is the sane guy the Monfils choked against. I'm not a fan of his delayed grunts after his ball is landing in his opponents court

Haha yes of course, like Nadal in Barca? Oh no if Rafa wins the other hasn’t earned it, right? He had MP against Nadal, not today.
The winner earned it, today it was Djoker.

Towards the money part of a match..the hardest thing to do against the big 3 is to win two consecutive non tiebreaker points
