Some amazing rallies in this match.
That anderson-isner semi final has robbed us of a complete classic here. There's no way they'll pick up the same tomorrow 
Absolutely insane game.
Vamos!!
Vamos!!
This is turning into an epic.
The dropshots are insane 
Rafa's drop shots are making my heart stop.
Fecking throw the cnut who yelled between serves out.
What a poor shot from rafa
What a tie breaker
Unbelievable!
Brilliant tiebreak and Nadal will not be happy to have lost that set.
Novak’s mental strength is unreal
Up there with Croatia’s

Wowzers. Great match.
Feck. Great tie break though.
Its unreal. Even better than Federer's imo.
Awesome tennis
Can't wait for the conclusion tomorrow.

GET IN
This is the real Wimby men's final. Great stuff.
Does how long and how many times Djokovic bounces the ball when serving wreck anyone else's head?
It's this which gives him the consistency he relies on . Federer is more reliant on his excellent read on the game and ingenious shot creation.
Back to back matches now where Nadal loses a tie break he really should have won. That's 6 set points in these two tb come and gone. Don't think he has it in him to win from 2-1 down against Djoko.
Welcome back Novak. Know he was second favourite and all that, but did not expect this, had Nadal crushing him more or less once he got past the silly upset loss part that Wimbledon does for him. Great viewing after the shambolic shit before it.....big serving marathons, get a grip.
Vamos Rafa! Tomorrow will be his day.
Djokovic was up a mini break early in the tie breaker, so its not exactly surprising that he wound up winning it.
I felt Djoko would win this. He's been the best player over the last two weeks.
4-2 had absolutely no impact on Nadal missing 3 set points and two very makeable points. It'll haunt him. This is probably his last chance at winning Wimbledon again.
Best thing to happen to Tennis this year. Adds a brand new dynamic to the slams, especially the Open in Sep.
Incredibe match so far, didn’t watch much tennis lately but this was an absolute classic and really happy for Novak to pull through his dark days. Sensational show from both guys.
This match ain't done yet, the extra rest will help Nadal who's had the harder previous rounds. Wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if he went on to win
Also the roof will be open tomorrow so different conditions.
Resumes at 1pm tomorrow!
The roof will be closed still which should favour Djokovic (although I still fancy it going to 5 sets).
Why will the roof be closed?
Thankfully for Anderson the other two will play another day.
It still begs the question that they should probably look to bring in a final set tie breaker. As if Novak and Nadal played first then Anderson would have been dead for Sunday.
We want the matches to be a spectacle and the players not to suffer.

The sentiment coming out of today is definitely heading in the 5th set tiebreaker direction for next year.
Feck....that's 5am here.
I more meant longevity of quality, which Murray has had, while Hewitt abruptly became a bit shit.
Edit:
They should just do the final set tiebreaker at 10-10 instead of 6-6.
Damn, you're right. I think Djokovic will finish the job in that case then.
