Sorry but Novak Djokovic played out of his mind very solid but Wawrinka was a God today. I truly believe that if somehow Novák was leading he would not have retired. When we were watching him play nothing suggested that there was anything bothering him except his ego.

BTW, I heard that McFly had some injury issues and so we cannot quite estimate the level of play of Fed by today's match.
This is what I was trying to tell people today. Federer still looks fragile to me. If he is to meet Stan playing like this, he has no chance.

Wow, this is a development.

I think Novak deserves the benefit of the doubt - if he's retiring it means he's really, really hurting. If it were a SF or F he'd probably play it out and let Stan get the full three sets, but given that its R16 I think its fine.

Get the injury fixed.....Bad luck in not being able to defend your title.

Well, that and the problems he's been having with his elbow, then his shoulder, and the MTO's. But aside from that...nothing.

Today Madison showed what happens if you have power and no IQ. Stan showed what happens when power is mixed with some IQ.

Everyone is just having fun about Wawrinka's "boobs". Has being going on for a while...
Don't treat me like a twat. I get it. I'm just asking people to own how idiotic it is.

Wawrinka is Djokovic's only kryptonite on tour.

Yeah but he played matches this tournament where he was having way more problems with his elbow and suffering visibly much more but didn’t stop playing because he was winning. Get the point?

Different match ups. Roger rushes Stan like nobody's business. Not saying impossible but in form Roger takes care of business.
