Li for all the wins, please. I will watch a Li vs whoever final. I do not give a shit about Bouchard. Am a bad Canadian.

I'm watching this until Nadal win this second set, at which point I will declare the match over and go to bed.

I hoped that if I wrote that, the set would end in five minutes and I could just go to bed. As it is, I think I will just go to bed and miss the rest. C'est la vie.

Ugh, I hate Australian timezones.
I don't think ANYONE gave Aga a chance after their last few meetings. I'm so happy about that result!

Also this is probably the most minor result but still a surprise - what happened in the Halep match? Didn't necessarily expect a win, Domi led the h2h, but also didn't expect her to get squashed. I have no idea what kind of real deal Nu-Halep might be...

As usual I haven't seen a single point yet, but I'll try to watch Andy/Roger if my workload allows.

Judging by the highlights... When did Azarenka adopt the Davenport-like movement? She's extremely slow.
Cibulkova in a Grand slam final, oh dear. Oh well, we've had Lisicki, Errani, Radwanska and Bartoli, I suppose she'll be fine in comparison.

It's hard to remember with Vika. It seems like she gained some weight and became so slow, and she hasn't been the same since.

1st set to Fed 6-3, watched the last game and he looked fantastic. Will this last?

Amazing rally. Fed is looking very good though.

Roger hits the impossible shot and then nets the easy one, as per usual.

Basic misses from Murray. Down a set and a break now.

Fed is hitting the ball so much more cleanly again.

This has been a weird match. The actual quality of play is OK - Federer has been pretty flawless and Murray's highlights reel won't be that bad either - but there's been absolutely zero drama. It's Murray's lack of matchplay and occasional resultant carelessness that's made it seem like one-way traffic rather than his level.

Yep, I was just going to comment that it's been a pretty enjoyable match to watch. The quality is pretty good, with some amazing points. Federer is serving for the match though.

Almost feel bad for Fed. Almost.
Back in the day this match would have been over. Such a shocking game when he served for it., having faced zero break points in the match until then.
