I'm using sportlemon.tv, the first of second one down (I forgot). Its stopped raining during the tb, so I'm getting scampi and chips. I thought you'd like to know. I was curious as to which way you'd go! It seems that cooking lost. Cooking usually loses in my life as well.

Federer wins that set and that is HUGE. I've said it before and I'll say it again right now -- Djokovic goes down here, and his year, record notwithstanding, is W SF W SF. We've seen tons of years like that before and they're obviously great but nothing special. It hasn't happened like that yet. Djokovic is going to fight for this match. It's not going to be like in Paris where he slumped after losing set one. Well done from Roger. I was worried he might choke after being unable to convert.

I'd quite like scampi and chips.
I think Djokovic is playing well enough that I can still see this turning in his favour...

I've never heard of sportlemon.tv! But anyway this UStream one I found is good, fills the whole tv screen unlike the USO official one. Unfortunately I've lost my focus. I would be the worst tennis player in the world.

Sock/Oudin "didn't even have a ranking." - M. Carillo "They must have one now!" - J. McEnroe "You would think! HA HA HA" - M. Carillo
Do...do these people even FOLLOW tennis?
None of that exchange implies any knowledge of how anything works at all in this sport.

Well I have 2 Aussie(?) commentators who make Djokovic rhyme with "jock itch" I feel like USian TV has only recently discovered this is wrong too. In fact, D. Cahill (AUS) still tends to slip up with that. Also Koenig (RSA)...maybe you have him. D. Cahill also is a big fan of Annerivanovic, whoever that is.

He's playing pretty well, but I'm waiting for the Fed-ERROR to emerge.

Welll, on American tv it started as Joke-o-vitch. Then it became jock-O-vitch. Now it's back to the other.
Break for Fed. RUN IT OUT.

And I caught that! Goofy thing about my setup is that if I decide to post here, The Cult fills up my tv screen while I type. That is disconcerting. Maybe I do have this Koenig person. I'm not good at distinguishing SA accents vs Aussie ones.

I'm surprisingly OK with Fed's continued control of this match. I wasn't immediately sure why, but now I'm starting to realize that this is subconsciously related to the Nadal Situation.
Of course, this could all go awry due to the Muzza Factor.

Of course, this could all go awry due to the Muzza Factor. For me it's completely consciously related to Nadal situation. Cause then I at least can root for him full-heartily in the next match. At Wimbledon I was Ok with him losing to Murray, but then Andy lost that match himself.

I can't really figure out how I'd rank them actually. I've always cheered according to whoever needs the win more rather than any real preference. And my ambivalence about liking Murray's game but not the media bullshit.

OK, game wise: Federer > Murray > Djokovic > Nadal. But there's always other stuff to factor in. Federror shows up randomly to hand the break back
