Rafa cant even defend well anymore. Hey, Rafa, remeber how you stepped up to to baseline to return the serve vs Berdych? Dont you think its time to try something new vs Novak as well? Like attack the ball more? Cause youre losing anyway.

6-2 to Novak and Rafa looks slow.

That's what I've been thinking since the very start of the match. He does look much slower here than he did against Roger.

Nole hitting the winning drop shot so casually after that epic rally. Illustrative of how in control he is.

Would the world end if one of them would come to the net once in a while?

Rafa looks good right now, anyway.

Brilliant tennis from Nole to go up 0-40 on the Rafa serve...

Roof delay at a time like this!

That was incredible game, I totally thought it was over.
Now it's raining, so they will close the roof.

Is it just me or are Rafa's fistpumps more dramatic than usual?

I'm watching skiing on ES2 and the commentator is basically complaining that he has to work while the AO final is on.

"A rare easy hold!" TB time! I've switched horses and find myself rooting for Rafa the Underdog now.

I can't with Rafa when he's hitting errors like those. YOU NEED EVERY POSSIBLE POINT AGAINST NOVAK!
Yeah, I'm shouting.
LOL @ that picture of Novak.

I was just thinking how brilliantly accurate Hobak was until *5-3, then he suddenly wasn't.

Okay, Rafa!! Make it 6, 8 hours, why not!

Post by Lady on Jan 29, 2012 8:24:44 GMT -5
OMG!! Somehow Rafa takes the set from 3-5 down. HAHA And it was on Novak's racket, btw. Thanks for the errors.
We're going into 5th set and I think for the 1st time in this match Rafa will serve 1st.

I went for a bath at one point, before the tb, near what I thought was the end... what happened?

I suspected they would be hitting 6 hours today. Just insane.

I still think Novak's gonna win it, but hey, I'm fine with losing in 5 as well.

I went for a bath at one point, before the tb, near what I thought was the end... what happened? Novak hit a forehand a little wide, then at 5-4 Rafa barely got a ball in court, but Novak netted a forehand (it wasn't an easy shot, but still). Rafa hit a good serve and then Novak hit a forehand out after dominating the point. It was kinda weird.
