Wow, Nole breaks to open the fourth. Thought that might have just been a set blip from Fed.

Surely Fed isn't going to lose from two sets up in two straight Slams? Suddenly it's his year that might raise the volume of the questions...
Djokovic hitting his own beast mode, anyway.

You won't be surprised, or even interested, to learn that I am fairly ambivalent towards Fed, Nadal and Djokovic, except I sometimes feel a bit sorry for Fed, as the faded GOAT, until I remember what an arrogant tit he can be. I'm not surprised, but am interested, since a lot of people have favorites among both M & F tennis players, regardless of said people's sexual orientation. Well I don't like to admit thats why I'm less interested in mens tennis, because it says not-a-real-fan. I didn't like Roddick for some random reason, except its sad to see what hes become. Also I was a big F1/motorsports fan for a long time, and had favourite drivers there.

I don't know how accurate this is, I'm hungover and my attention has been zoning in and out, but I get the impression that Djokovic was trying to out-manoeuvre Fed in the first two sets, but failing because Fed was so fast and sharp. Now, Fed seems to be more sluggish now, but also Djokovic is just hitting through him more - a lot of Fed's errors are coming off balls Djokovic is blasting straight at him.

Talk about the wheels coming off. I agree with Lady; it's just sad. But it's true that Nole really stepped up his game in the 3rd. "moving better, hitting harder", say my guys.

You just don't see points like that one to give us 2-2 in SEWTA.
I just...not only am I not interested in any of the players in these SEWTA SFs, but I'm almost scared to watch them because I fear they could both go horribly wrong.
These are dark days for the ladies indeed.

How come they're getting married in Kosovo? Isn't that politically...something not good.
I prefer Mirka, anyway. Thats a reason for rooting for Fed.
