Very good from Nole! And Andy out of challenges at this poorly-called tournament, not smart.

Novak is 4*-2 up btw

Andy hangs on for 5-3 ...

Another twist?! Andy 0-30 on Nole's serve...

Post by janie on Jan 27, 2012 8:16:10 GMT -5
Oh no! 0-40! Where did this come from!

Breaks to love as Nole stupidly rushes the net out of desperation

We all know how it ends, but Murray displayed the biggest fight I've ever seen from him in the big match.

Yes, great fighting, but I want it to end! Novak's level has dropped at the worst time.

Andy has won 11 of the last 12 points. Stop the rot, Novak!!

This is pathetic from Novak.

It's so good to see Murray actually stepping it up at the right time for once.

Djokovic is appealing to the crowd to love him and applaud him. Again.

Novak saved 3 break points in this 5-5 game.

But he can't close the door!

If you exclude the 1st set, this match is a classic!

It's so good to see Murray actually stepping it up at the right time for once. Tennisly speaking, I have to agree, but since I'm not rooting for him I'm not so thrilled by it!

Finally, the hold! What a game!

Post by Lady on Jan 27, 2012 8:35:00 GMT -5
Yeah, you could have used 1 of those stupidly wasted challenges here, Andy!
2 match points for Novak

So this is gonna be Rafa vs Novak for the 3rd straight time. And it's Rafa's 4th straight slam final!

This was almost 5 hours!

Good, he did it! But what a challenge Andy gave him! Can't believe it but I'm rooting for him in the final now. I used to love Rafa but I've turned against him in his whiny incarnation.

Clawing his way back from 2-5 only to lose 5-7 is so quintessentially Murray.
Goooo Hobak in the final.

I had no idea how long the match had been going on when I tuned in for that tiebreak! Hope ND will be back in form in time for the final.

I hope novak realizes that he killed a bunch of bugs and moths throwing himself on the floor like that. That didn't please me. I like moths.

Novak wasn't the one who stopped Rafa from winning AO last year. Wasn't that David Ferrer?

Q. How is the practice and preparation going?
VICTORIA AZARENKA: You were watching my practice.
Q. Yeah.
VICTORIA AZARENKA: So why are you asking me this question? ... Q. If you win tomorrow you'll take your first Grand Slam title and become world No. 1. Are you ready for the pressure and the responsibility that brings?
VICTORIA AZARENKA: You guys love doing that, huh? You know, let's talk about it tomorrow. Then I'll tell you my feelings, okay? Fair enough?
Q. I'll ask you tomorrow.
VICTORIA AZARENKA: Thank you.
Q. Talk about your sort of physical transformation and some of the restrictions your coach placed on you. I've heard he took away chocolate and whatnot when you first got together?
VICTORIA AZARENKA: Oh, my God. My coach has such a serious face, and he likes to say some crazy stuff. Of course I eat chocolate. I mean, what girl doesn't eat chocolate? ... Q. Do you think it's fair that it's being promoted as the two screamers and two loudest girls on court, this final that's coming up?
VICTORIA AZARENKA: Oh, my God. Every, every press conference. Can you surprise me sometimes with a different question?
No, I mean, whatever people call us, you know. I respect every opinion. That's it for me, you know.
Q. You guys have been on the tour together six years. Why has it come up now, the vocal thing?
VICTORIA AZARENKA: I guess some people are just bored, you know. They created that machine that can measure it. So I mean, money well spent, huh? (Thumbs up.)Failing to even pretend to be a tolerable human being there. I don't think anyone would disagree with the contention that she's a giant asshole.

That was the least media-friendly interview of all time. I kinda liked it!
