Serena has double duty today. I forgot all about the doubles match.

 

[flashout01]

if Li and Carlos linked up 2-3 years earlier, She could been in a different level by now.
her improvement is evident but to glue it firmly it really does take time.

 

[Sinner]

^ Yes, I agree.  Too bad.

 

[Sinner]

Amazing how Nole can start off with a love-hold and follow it up with a nervous break.

 

[jumpmantwenty3]

While it would be cool to see Stan with the upset, the prospect of his one-handed backhand getting eaten up by Nadal's topspin is too depressing. Same goes for Gasquet.

 

[jumpmantwenty3]

Although he is on fire

 

[Sinner]

Great cross-court forehand winner for the break, but Nole's all over the place right now... shocking stuff.  No intensity.

 

[Sinner]

Wow... what is going on?  

 

[jumpmantwenty3]

Stan's sunscreen is blinding Djoke as he's hitting

 

[firepower]

Was not expecting this from Nole, basically a carbon copy Murray so far. Stan doing just enough as he did the other night.

 

[Sinner]

Clean-kill set by Stan.  Glad this is a grand slam match.

 

[proshares]

Jeez, woke up to this.

Hopefully Champ is enjoying it

 

[eiddyfouw]

Djoki needs to come through strong in this second set...

 

[Sinner]

W/UFE 

Nole 6-14

Stan 10-6

 

[awwsome]

Nole

 

[Sinner]

Errors creeping up for Stan... chance.

 

[Sinner]

Backhand has been spot-on. 

  Very nice.

 

[Sinner]

Incredible. 

 

[firepower]

Stan's accuracy down the lines with the backhand in both these last two matches has been excellent.

Having said that, there was that one at 15-30 on his serve that was clearly out ...Nole should've challenged that, could have led to a vital break.

 

[Sinner]

^ Yeah, I was surprised that he didn't challenge! 

 

[jumpmantwenty3]

Momentum shift

 

[Sinner]

Turning point?

 

[Sinner]

Stan's serve is deceptively good.

 

[Sinner]

Despite how crap Nole's been and how great Stan's been... we're tied.

 

[Sinner]

Wow, Nole had a chance to get back in that set... brainfreeze service-game at 4-4.
