Only these two could make a 6-2 set last nearly an hour, and thats not a comment on the quality of the tennis.

Yeah...they really might have to do something about that. Baseball being interminable was cute for only a couple of years; tennis is already starting with less affection.

Boy, at 5-3 40-15 on Saturday it looked like it would be just another year. Now it truly will be one of The Greatest Years in the History of Tennis. Sorry, Joana! Can I use "It's all your fault!"? You obviously jinxed it! See, Rafa? When you hit your shots with what's even remotely looks like depth, it's not that easy for Novak to drop shot you? If you waste that 40-0 lead I'll.. I'll... I don't what what I'd do.

Novak was so tired of playing this point, he tried to kill Rafa at the baseline.

0-40 on Novak's serve The thing I said about wasting 40-0 leads in the previous post still applies, Rafa!

What can I say, I'd be happy to see you backhand go inside the court for a change.
Well, it 2-0 to Rafa, but we've just been there.

OMG, a marvelous shot from Rafa, but Novak's defense is just amazing.

Rafa is becoming Fed-like with his challenges.

Another OMG, somehow Rafa's backhand beat Novak's forehand on the break point.

Novak looked dead tired in the beginning of this game, yet now he plays fresher. Code violation in THIS game? They're dead tired, they're barely moving. Both of them.

Finally. Getting beyond a joke now. I don't really think that this game is that huge in the grand scheme of things. I can't see Rafa winning today.
Still, this is pretty fun now.

Rafa challenges out of sheer desperation.

Holy crap!! And yet why did the outcome seem inevitable the whole time? Even though it's Nole who's sucking air??

The scary thing is I can envisage, like, every game being like that.

Wait. "Finally. Getting beyond a joke now." Wasn't that about Novak winning the game?

It really is just as well there was a changeover after that. Wouldn't have wanted to have to serve immediately following it.
