That BP was probably the first amazing rally of the match. Obv still ended on an error.

Well, I don't care how crap this is... it's FAST so yay. And I lost my stupid bet after Novak won the second. AMAAAAAZZZING rally, won by Fed. He needs to win this in four.

Nope!
Fed's slice defence is working MUCH better now.

Clutch hold from Nole. That was an important game. Fed 0/3 on breakpoints in this set.

This is picking up now.
Novak played very nicely on those bps. You have to give him some credit there.
Fed didn't break there but one good sign is that he put more returns than normal in play. He is making Djokovic work very hard on serve so far this set.

How great would men's tennis be if every match was this quick? Fabulous.
Using a Betfair "free £20 bet promotion", I was deciding between Fed in 3, or 3 sets to 1. After the first was about to end I picked 3-0. *cry* Would've won more too had I gone 3-1.

Horrible game from Fed here though. Tiebreak?

A set all, 4-4. Yet I take a sick day for the women's SFs. Stupider by the week, I am.

I've never bet on sets, only on final results. Sets is just too much of a crap shoot.

Yeah, but I always did so horribly at betting on matches I thought sets couldn't go any worse. V V V important hold (aren't they all?) but... Fed needs to win this set or it's over.

A set all, 4-4. Yet I take a sick day for the women's SFs. Stupider by the week, I am. I worked THROUGH the women's SFs but took a sick day for the men's SFs. I approve of this decision.

Hey, guys, you can take sick days on Friday? I thought Friday and Monday was a total nono. Have still not used one since starting this job last August!

Wow, two great winners for Fed. Two points from the set...

The ninth game was odd ... Roger actually recovered from two pretty bad mistakes to set up bp.
I do feel like Fed's forehand has not been all it could be.
Of course, as I say that, he finally connects on the forehand down the line. Beautiful.

Great first point. If Vijay Amritraj says "Oh I say!" or "Glowrious shot" once more, very bad things will happen.
