One more hour. If Wawrinka wins one of the first two sets then I'll stay up.

Contemplating taking some time off work for Wimbledon. All my vacation days revolve around some sporting event anyway. Might as well do it while I can.

Really happy for Li Na. Met her several times during the U.S. Open series and her personality is for real. It really showed in the speech.

 

[you go boy]

i was thinking of staying up and watching this since im not far from the start time and my boy nadal is in the finals.... but i rarely sleep in and the weekends is my time to do that so i will check espn for the score then just watch the replay.... i know its wack and not the same but whatever i want my sleep

Never really thought when I watched Nadal come onto the scene some years back that we may look at him in a higher light than Federer. It's on the horizon now.

Can't wait for Rafa to play tonight!

Here's to #14

Yeah, I do that as well. I always take some time off for the World Cup and Euros 

I got Stan taking one of the first 2 sets, but ultimately Rafa in 4.

 

[quell]

Lets go Stan!

Gotta do whatcha gotta do! 

I'm taking next Monday off and getting up at 7AM to watch da 'Hawks! 

Ok, I know it's just 1 game, heh.

 

[651akathepaul]

After that first point I already feel like Stan is ready.

Game plan to keep it towards Rafa's forehand.

 

[Sinner]

Stan looking solid early on. 

 

[quell]

STAN!!!!!

 

[Sinner]

Rafa's been known to be a bit of a slow-starter... Stan taking advantage!!! 

 

[651akathepaul]

Wawrinka all over this so far. Finish out this first set then we'll see what's up.

 

[651akathepaul]

Looks like I'll be up all night.

 

[firepower]

Stan attacking the ball well early on, Rafa still looking a bit tight.

Long way to go yet though...

 

[Sinner]

Oh!!! 

 

[eiddyfouw]

That's the going. With a guy like Rafa you can think you have him against the ropes, suddenly you don't understand how you just lost the next 3 sets straight.

I respect his mental game for coming back after slow starts..

 

[Sinner]

And we're talking best-of-5 here... long way to go. 

 

[quell]

Big break back for Nadal here

Well obviously, mentally crushing for Wawa though

 

[Sinner]

Well, this turned around and turned around in a hurry! 

 

[firepower]

Wow great comeback from 0-40 in that service game by Stan! First ever set he's won against Rafa.

 

[shooz]

wow...who would've expected this start?  Go Stan the Man! 

 

[Sinner]

On fire. 

 

[651akathepaul]

Wawrinka gonna win!
