too bad that they both seem to not be in complete physical full strength.

 

[teddytennisfan]

this is NOLE IN FOUR!

 

[britbox]

Could be the final curtain for Gael.

 

[teddytennisfan]

OH MY -- now nole too is really affected -

i think BOTH players are really messed up by the temperature - i'ts just so much - even for them. and strange results can happen. missing shots, etc..

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

this could be a twilight zone match.

Monfils looks shattered, Novak in pain I think.

That's a rotator cuff massage, looks like trying to release the tendon. Not good. He'd be in pain whenever he raises the arm.

 

[Denis]

Come on Novak, two more games.

Novak is serious trouble now physically.

 

[Denis]

One more.

 

[britbox]

Come on Novak, two more games.

Novak is serious trouble now physically.

Doesn't bode well for the final.

Could hardly bear to watch him serving, I tore a rotator tendon last year and its the worst
imaginable pain.

Is that the sort of thing he could shake off in time for the final?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

One of the worst s/finals I have watched.....honestly....

 

[teddytennisfan]

this could be a twilight zone match.

for me -- this is still really NOLE'S match..even right now ..

 

[teddytennisfan]

Is that the sort of thing he could shake off in time for the final?

let's hope!!

great nole -- good effort from monfils.

but NOLE MAKES IT!!! COME ON NOLE -- rest and get the shoulder rested and in shape for finals!

 

[britbox]

One of the worst s/finals I have watched.....honestly....

Very strange tournament on the men's side.

 

[Denis]

Doesn't bode well for the final.

Agreed. Let's hope its Nishi. Would like to see him win if it can't be Novak. Fingers crossed he'll be okay though.

I wouldn't mind seeing Nish win the tournament but think Stan is more likely to make the final a decent match.
