Frickin ESPN is showing Townsend instead of Federer or Djokovic. That's ridiculous, even for them.

Darth... she's an American! ESPN knows the tennis audience is riveted to watching some nobody 18 year old from the USA instead of Fed or Djokovic. :nono

To be fair, if you have espn, you have espn3. Means you can watch tennis in the bathroom during your morning routine. My laptop follows me around the apartment.

I have yet to figure out the shower thing while still keeping my puter dry.

That is a mystery to all of us great thinkers. Right now I just listen...

Novak using his DTL backhand so well in this match... has to give him a lot of confidence.

Gotta love the ump agreeing that it looks like cillic is being coached.

Obvious question, well why don't you give him a warning?!

That's rough that he dropped the set. Shankerer?

It's vanilla Fed out there, the 30+ year old pusher.

Even worse than Shankerer. This is the version that puts nothing on his groundstrokes and eventually becomes target practice for anyone who can hit big. The beast I call Vanilla Fed.

Amazing Tursu, I didn't expect him to play so good even if Youngderer isn't at his best

Alright I'm watching now. Had to see Taylor's farewell. How's Fed serving today?

Saw just the set point great DTL winner by Tursunov. He's a very good player and basically his results plummeted when he was injured for quite a while. Happy to see him back playing well. Guess I should watch this match now as Cilic v Djokovic is a done deal at this stage.

Hey, I can't help it if it's the gospel. Besides, it doesn't matter how much coaching he gets, he's still an UE machine. He's not going to beat Novak, period.
