LOL, nice fight at the end there Grisha, just letting serves go by you.
Dimitrov played really well in the first two sets, Stan snuck out the second just by hanging on to his serve and then as soon as he started to really impose himself on Grisha in the third, Dimitrov folded totally.

I'm not sure. I had to leave the house just as he won the first set and - like, I assume, every single tennis bettor out there - immediately whacked a ton of money on Rafa. When I saw the bagel, IRL LOL.

I don't think it's acceptable loading up Betfair in the office  Apparently Dave was up 6-5 in the second with Rafa serving... he was ahead 30-15 and had a sitter to give him 2 MPs but he flaked the ball back to Rafa. ;D |

Bird Shit beat Muzza. He played very, very well. His average ground stroke speed like double that of Andy. Very impressive result.

Stan rallied from 3-4 down (a break) to beat Tomas 6-4 in the third. Consecutive top ten wins for him.
Is this his first MS final? I can't think of the other one if it happened.
He won't beat Rafa but this is a great result. I think he'll reach the top ten once more.

Berdych was 4-2 up and had two break points at 15-40 for *5-2. It was quite the collapse.
Stan made another clay MS final which propelled him into the Top 10...I believe it was Rome at the end of the '00s.

Berdych was 4-2 up and had two break points at 15-40 for *5-2. It was quite the collapse. It was pretty shocking. Berdprych could barely get a ball in court after that. Nice run from Stan, didn't bother to watch the final. I have pretty much adopted a Go Away Rafa stance. |

It was possibly the most anti-climactic final ever as Stan matches up atrociously vs. Rafa, but I had to watch because Stan is awesome. At least he fought well.
