some pretty long rallies too in this 5th, good match so far...they have to be getting exhaused

 

[shooz]

these rallies are insane...both are so equally matched.  It's all about who wants it more at this point.  Stan has shown he can keep up with Joker's intensity throughout the entire match...something he couldn't do in the past

 

[shooz]

 
^Welcome bro

Lol there's just no predicting this, every game is different -breaks galore, then struggling to hold, then easy holds to luv ...it's got the lot.

thanks

...glad to see people staying up (or getting up early) to watch tennis...trying not to make too much noise with people sleeping in the house lol.  love these kind of matches 

 

[frink85]

lol wow terrible timing

 

[Sinner]

Crazy... but Nole will always be at a disadvantage serving 2nd! 

 

[Sinner]

Stan's backhand is simply glorious.  

 

[Sinner]

STAN! 

 

[shooz]

stan the man!  

 

[frink85]

excellent match. props to stan and novak

4 hours

 

[Sinner]

^ It was 5hrs last year! 

 

[firepower]

Stan! 

He's definitely going to be tired after that, and it will be tough but I can see him beating Berdych. 

 

[Sinner]

And the irony that his botched match point was a volley.... lol

 

[rook]

Wow.

 

[thadangerousmind]

If only one of these guys could beat Nadal.

 

[651akathepaul]

Just couldn't stay up to watch Wawrinka/Djokovic. Sounds like I missed a good one.

Thought Ferrer was going to steal one last night, but Berdych had just enough the tank. Between him running low and now Wawrinka after that war with Novak, I don't know who has the upper-hand.

 

[shogun]

No longer a fan of bouchard. Can't be a fan of a bieber fan. Maybe she'd date him because she's into girls.

 

[651akathepaul]

I missed where she said she was a fan of his, but it sounds so weird to me. Everytime she has been on set, that I've seen, she seems extremely mature, so I guess I forget her age and that someone that appears so mature would say the words "Bieber."

 

[lightlotus]

I am shocked at Ferrer...been a huge fan for a while. It changes my perspective on him a bit.

I didn't watch the match, but did he ever get a point violation for this? I'm sure fines will be coming.

 

[frank 7he t4nk]

I can't believe Djoker lost.

I'm pulling for Federer.

It looks like it's Nadal's to lose...I hope someone beats Nadal.

This puts me in a difficult position because I love Federer and Nadal.

Great for the fans that we can potentially have 2 final matches here. 

Ultimately, I want Stan to win it all because I think it's about time!

 

[scuse7]

Upset I missed it....sounds like a great match. Glad to see Stan pull through.

Yeah, was wondering what the deal with that was.  

I don't think he got penalized, nor do I think will he be fined as it wasn't "violent" or "caused any physical harm".  At most it was just rude and uncalled for.  He seems like a stand-up guy, so it was very surprising.  I understand the whole "in the heat of competition, you do stupid stuff" rationale, but that's no excuse.  Interested to hear what he had to say about it.

I hear ya, AO ruins my sleeping schedule so I only stay up for big matches.

Have you tried ESPN3? (You'll need a login through your cable provider/university).

There is a replay tab where you can watch the matches you missed.

Other than that, I just watch highlights off Youtube.

Not sure if I'm allowed to post YT links, but here's the Stan vs. Djokovic highlights in HD:

thanks lightlotus I'll try that out on my ipad or something. I work during the day so when I get off I just normally watch the earlier matches live but that's typically players I have no interest in lol
