Novak has been an excellent defender today, so it's not that simple.

bet365 is back. Although I lost it for a while. It seems to have the clearest image.
maybe it will work in a GS over 5 sets?
still working for me.

agreed, Novak has defended quite intensively today, I actually think he's had more success when he's been offensive though because Stan often still tries for a big shot from a difficult position. It's an interesting match up.

In a 5 set match I still think Novak doesn't have the stamina. However, Novak will do everything in his power to end his matches quickly (If I remember correctly he barely losts any sets in the AO he won).

The cute comment in the same trashy article was that courageous Federer was playing with a touch of mono about which he did not know Now that is real courage. Not to be afraid of things you don't know about. Wow.

Yep, Stan often went for shots he shouldn't have gone for, thus making way too many unforced errors and allowing Novak to get to at least 30 in nearly every service game by Wawrinka.
We'll see what Stan's made of right now.

Wawrinka isn't wearing pink shoes, is he? Or is that just the red clay?

To be honest, as much as I like Stan, I think Djokovic deserves to win this match. He's been way more consistent, held serve better, and played some amazing defense.

The announcer said something about the way they sweep courts. They leave a blank space, a hole, or something next to the line. So more balls are called by the ref than out. Don't fully understand. I guess the point is that there is some clay missing next to the line so a ball hitting it will not reach a mark. Maybe someone who has played a lot more on clay will understand that.

Djokovic needs to get his first serve in. 55% right now.

I don't understand it. If there is Hawkeye, why not challenge? Why call the ref and argue with him?

Are you sure about that? No challenge at the FO?There's no 'challege' system on clay, you just call the ref

That's what I meant. Did he call the ump to check the mark?There's no 'challege' system on clay, you just call the ref

Great way to do it!
rounds out a very solid performance from novak i think, really good defensively, didn't do a lot wrong and I think he's well worth the final spot.
Stan started well but tailed off, by no means a bad performance though and something to build on for the other CC events
