Evans with fantastic movement there but Tomic gets the point. 15-30.

 

[joekapa]

Well done Tomic. Finally dictating some play !!!!!

 

[Aussie Darcy]

THAT WAS IN?!?? WHAT THE HELL! 2 break points!!!

 

[gn]

Kei breaks 4-3

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Clutch ace. One BP saved.

 

[H_Richardson]

Didn't know Evans was on Stan's side....

 

[merwy]

Evans with fantastic movement there but Tomic gets the point. 15-30.

Compared to Tomic yeah. That's called regular movement for a normal professional athlete.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Great save.

 

[joekapa]

Great rally from both !!!!

 

[Red Rick]

Sick point from Evo

 

[Tennis wizard]

Offt what a chance

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Wow solid point. Deuce. Very nice of Tomic to applaud that shot.

 

[Tennis wizard]

Finally aggressive tomic

 

[Aussie Darcy]

SO GOOD BY TOMIC! Break point again!

 

[LETitBE]

well done tomic......HIT IT

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Tomic didn't read the return well. Deuce.

 

[papertank]

Can these women please not go to a third set? I want Fed...

 

[merwy]

Is there a reason that Aussie youngsters look so lackluster on court? Or is that just the hip thing to do over there?

 

[joekapa]

Compared to Tomic yeah. That's called regular movement for a normal professional athlete.

You do realise that Tomic is 6 ft 5', right ?
By the same tocken Evans should be able to slam dunk a basketball, as he is also a "prefessional athlete".

 

[Red Rick]

Huge ace from Evo

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Evans cramping.

Served his fastest serve 212km at the deuce.

 

[JonnyMac]

WOW !

Evans is starting to be a bit RUBBISH !

Just a little bit Rubbish.....

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Evans up 5-4. He'll probably break Tomic now and win.

 

[Tennis wizard]

Evans playing breakpoints like a boss

 

[joekapa]

Evans up 5-4. He'll probably break Tomic now and win.

Have faith in the tall man........

 

[LETitBE]

Can these women please not go to a third set? I want Fed...

you should know better than to even ask!

 

[Aussie Darcy]

If Evans cramps up now, I wonder if Tomic could pinch a tiebreak and who knows in the 4th? I really doubt it but that cramping didn't look good.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Good by Tomic. 5-5.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Tomic starting to really make Evans move. Tomic knows about the cramping. He's doing Tsonga a favour here for the 4R haha.

 

[gn]

Kei takes the 1st set.

 

[merwy]

you should know better than to even ask!

Your username is the right attitude to deal with these situations

 

[Tennis wizard]

Bravo brilliant

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Sweet from Tomic.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

OH WOW TOMIC STEPPING IT UP. Is it too late though??

Tomic service game average: 1 minute 35 seconds
Evans: 3 mins 33 seconds.

Evans working harder and running more.

 

[merwy]

Seriously with Evans cramping already, Tomic should fight tooth and nail for this set. No way Evans goes on for 5 sets like this.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

It was called good, oh no. Why did you leave that Tomic... Sigh. Challenge. IT'S OUT WOW.!!!

Noone called that? pathetic.

And an ace for **** sakes. Adv Evans

 

[LETitBE]

says it all

 

[joekapa]

"He looks a big enough fool right now" Stupid commentators.

 

[ArcspacE]

"He looks a big enough fool right now" Stupid commentators.

?

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Deuce. Evans getting tired. I really want Tomic to get the set cause Evans will be exhausted.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Dan Evans arguing with umpire. Not a good move. Wow wheres he going?!? Saying it's wet.

Dan Evans stops play. Tomic asked about rain earlier and got denied. Pathetic that he was allowed to stop play there.

 

[Red Rick]

What's going on?

 

[metsman]

gotta stay up all night waiting for some joke woman's match no one outside australia wants to see to finish while we wait for the main event...nice

 

[merwy]

Rain couldn't come at a better time for Evans. How can you be so lucky?

 

[Aussie Darcy]

What a grub Evans is. Facing being broken and he says its raining and won't play.
Umpire wasn't calling off play and he stops it instead.

 

[Red Rick]

Yeah it's raining

 

[Poisoned Slice]

 

[Tennis wizard]

Jeez thats low evans stopping the game cause the line is apprently slightly wet

 

[Red Rick]

What a grub Evans is. Facing being broken and he says its raining and won't play.

There's rain drops on the camera. What can you do?

 

[Krish872007]

Thank God - now a bit of time to regroup here and finish off.
