Tennis Thread 2014

Novak's getting broken again here. His head is still in the game where he was serving for the match.
 
3 straight games! Nole tensing up! Still fancy him in 4.
 
Spot on. If you compare where both players are in their respective careers, Federer has done quite well. Let's see if Djokovic makes a Wimbledon final at 33.
Neither him, nor Nadal won't make a grand slam final when they are Federer's age IMO. Both Djokovic and Nadal main strength IMO has been how fit they were and their incredible stamina, but I don't think that they ever possesed comparable technique to Fed.
 
This match just confirms to me why Nadal owns both their arses, they are both mental midgets compared to him.
 
Now that's what I'm talking about. Whip that forehand!
 
Who's the guy in the crowd they keep cutting to? Looks like Bradley Cooper, but I'm not sure.
 
He's completely thrown it away. His head is just gone.

Fed to win in 5 now.

I do think there's a point here. What Nadal has over both of them is just his crazy mental resilience.
 
If Fed wins this it will really punctuate his GOAT status. Beating a proper Champion in Djokovic during the prime of his career.

Federer isn't mental midget compared to anyone. Novak has a great record against him but that is mainly because of clay courts where Nadal is the best ever.
 
I don't think Fed has actually done anything spectacular to get back in this. Novak's just completely fallen apart.
 
I'd rather they cut away to Bradley Cooper or Becks, rather than the random woman screaming like she's at a Beatles concert.
 
Delighted for the 5th! Happy regardless who wins now.

Come on Feds!
 
And Fed does something that no-one was expecting. If Nadal doesn't calm, then Fed will win this.
 
I don't know how Djokovic will bounce back if he loses this.
 
I don't mind seeing any of Becks, Bradley, Samuel, Kate or anyone - Love to see that at Wimblydons.
 
Time to pray. Do it once more, Roger! Just this once!
 
Drives me wild when anytime a person or a team make a good comeback there's somebody there to run the classic "HE'S BOTTLED IT" or "HE'S CHOKING!".

Can't for fecking once people just accept that maybe, just maybe, that player/team making the comeback has upped their game, got it together and is playing quality stuff? Rant over :lol:

Normally yes. But this is Djokovic and has has a history of bottling high profile matches from winning positions.
