Looking forward to a Federer v. Djokovic final in the spirit of 2008. Love watching Fed cry. :laydownlaughing

Mediocre play and he has the break. I would call the way he's playing "contained".
That's what I was thinking. It looks like he doesn't need to extend himself or show that much emotion either to get through this match. But very boring for us watching it.
For me is not boring, because I analyze Tomasi K. seeing him for the first time. He's got some game for sure, no wonder he climbed the ranking so quickly.
EDIT: And as a Nole fan, he is Never boring to me
uzzled :s :nono :angel: :cover

Where did this resurgence of Australian tennis come from? Shocking! Some really good players; actually playing each other a couple days ago in Tomic and Kokk! I can remember 30, 40 odd years ago, they barely had 1 top 10'r in the ranking at any given time; Paul McNamara, Pat Cash, or Mark Philippossis! That was quite a "come down" after the likes of Laver, Newcombe, Rosewall, etc.! They look to have some really nice talent coming along to outdo Hewitt one day! We're looking a little weak here in the States except for Sock! Querry, Isner, Harrison, Young, and all the rest just aren't going to be able to "do it!" We've had some down time, but at least there was something to "hope" for; not seeing it! Anybody? The US ladies have made a huge comeback and won't be dependent on the Williams' for much longer!

Isner did a lot more than the other US players you have mentioned him with. Let's not bunch them like that together because it is unfair for him.

If you can't make QF and semi's of majors, you have nothing to brag about IMO! At least Andy Roddick did the bare minimum; won 1, made others! Isner has barely had sniffs at Masters! Let's not give him too much credit after those horrendous DC losses to Britain! BRITAIN? They haven't been a power since the Lloyd brothers of the 70's! :snicker :laydownlaughing :angel:
