Tennis Thread 2014

There's the medical timeout. What a surprise...
 
Djokovic slipped, demanded the physio, got the break then had his leg checked out. Mind games as usual. Seemed to work
 
Three fantastic serves from Novak there to dig out of break point and win the set!
 
Djokovic looks like he's got more arrows in his quiver. :(
 
Federer's forehand is not a threat at all today. Can't see him win this, sadly. feck you, time! Why'd you have to make him so old?
 
Christ, that's a fecking awful call from the line judge. Robbed Federer of what could be a crucial point there.
 
The line judges are pretty bad overall today. Aces called out, some out balls called aces... where are the standards?
 
Win or lose - its definitely great watching the greatest player ever turn back the clock today.
 
Federer keeps coming to the net, and Novak keeps passing him. He doesn't appear to be learning his lesson...
 
Federer's chip and charge is horrible today...
 
Djokovic is turning the screw now. Wait the whole set to make his move, and here we go...
 
Another awful decision to come to the net by Federer. It's going to cost him this set.
 
Again with the horrible net attack. What is he thinking?!
 
Âlso, his forehand is harmless as hell today. Can't decide points at all with it. Not enough... just not enough.
 
Its obviously his strategy and he's been very good at it throughout his career. The trouble today is his approach shots haven't been deep enough, which has given Djokovic enough time to set up and prepare his returns.
 
It's over. Apart from his serve, Federer played really bad so far. Djokovic super solid. It's over.
 
It is over IMO. I don't think that Federer in this age will be able to win the next two sets.
 
Roger's serve was great in the third set, but he can't win points against Djokovic today. No drive in his forehand and if he does go for it, he misses more often than not. Completely idiotic net charges and Djokovic won't miss.

This is done and dusted. Not even Federer can beat time.
 
We're watching a different match. Fed just lost the third set on a tiebreaker.

Only because Novak wasn't arsed pressuring his serve for the majority of the third set. He just waited out, planning to turn the screw right at the end... and it worked. He almost broke him in the last service game, instead he crushed him in the tiebreaker.
 
He's not really thrown it away, Djokovic has been playing better all match.

Djokovic was very strong today, but not stronger than usual. Federer just can't strike the ball the way he used to. So many dumb and easy mistakes.
