This Wimbledon crowd loves to start clapping before they hear calls. Also they're way into gasping at balls that are FEET inside the lines. Really? Who's the beef next to Vajda? Rahr.

At one point I think I heard Cmon Hobag from the stands. That could have been directed at anyone!

Hmmm...if Nole wins here, Fed may very well have prevented a CYGS and unbeaten season. Rafa in a bit of trouble here. Nobody can do an unbeaten season. Calendar-year Slam? Yes, I thought he might be able to do it a few weeks back too. But we are getting ahead of ourselves. Rafa lost the first set to Murray too.

LMAO, Rafa finally wins a rally! With a net cord!
I don't count that, Rafa!

Everyone's counting the ball bounces. I like it when they don't grunt on each shot.

That forehand error? That how Rafa plays these days. Stupid unforced errors, and he has nothing to make up for them.
OMG! It gets worse! I thought maybe he finally would hit a winner, he proved me wrong.

Great pickup by Hobag there!
This could be the longest 3 set match in Wimbledon history considering how long both of them take between points.

Rafa finally follows one in...and he still loses the point.
Nole up a break and thrusts his nuts at me.

Hilarious point. I give up on you hitting a freaking winner, Rafa!

Rafa hit about 12 winners to finally win that point.

Murray is a headcase who chokesuckdied against Rafa which everyone knew would happen. Nole has the confidence of beating up on Rafa all year long.

This is like watching Kvitova-Sharapova, except Rafa isn't shrieking or tossing in random double faults.

A Djokovic-Kvitova picture at the Wimbledon ball would finally cement Eastern Europe as the new center of the tennis universe.
Still a lot of tennis to be played today, though.

Can Novak miss at least once? I can't even blame Rafa in this game. He tried.

This is like watching Kvitova-Sharapova, except Rafa isn't shrieking or tossing in random double faults. And when Nole goes for a winner from an unrealistic defensive position, it usually works The women should stop thinking they can play like this, much better to just slice and stay in the point

If Novak wins this title...he probably clinches year-end #1, right? No one would be able to catch him unless they go on an undefeated run of their own. Novak would have 9450 points, I think. With a win. A loss and it owuld be 8650. Back to the match for a second. Nole is screaming which is a horrible sign for Rafa. I think that scream has begun to mean serious fucking trouble for the opponent. Rafa would have ... mmm ... the three titles are 3,500, four MS finals, that's another 2,400, AO QF 360 ... Doha 90 ... Queen's ... I dunno, 50? 60? Davis Cup he gets something but not much ... plus 1,200 for this final and another 800 if he wins. So I guess about 7,700ish if he loses. A win and it's 8,500ish. So actually I don't think Nole has the ranking sealed up even with a victory today. It would still be less than 2,000 points difference with a Slam, 4 MS, Masters Cup and several 500s out there.

If Novak had better volleys he'd be unplayable.

Since even Novak is so nice now and is doing what I ask.. Novak, can you present Rafa with a break?

Yeah, yeah, I know it was too much to ask.
