Aww so close.
I think he was trying to get the ball high on Lopez's one-handed backhand.What's with the loopy forehands by Djokovic? Or is it just me?
He definitely can.The question is: can Cilic defeat Djoko here? Does he stand a chance, if he serves aces all over?
I honestly don't know.
The problem I see with Wawrinka is the speed of the court (and faster conditions overall, compared to AO/FO). He needs more time to setup himself optimally for his shots, especially the backhand (his long back-swing), and if someone can exploit that - it's Federer. He can play fast enough to have Stan on the run most of the time (on a faster court) and I believe that could be the case.I think Wawrinka has a good shot of winning the event. Neither Fed or the Djoker are playing as well as I expected, and Stan isn't playing that well either but seems to be building gradually like he likes to do. If he gets past Anderson which is dangerous for him, I expect him to be playing really well by the semis and too well for Federer to handle if he doesn't play better than he did vs Isner.
Summary:Just tuned in. Summary anyone? Is Novak not playing well or Lopez playing great?

Definitely needs to raise his level up, and keep it up throughout the whole match. Not like the Tsonga battle...The question is: can Cilic defeat Djoko here? Does he stand a chance, if he serves aces all over?

Deliciano going mano-a-mano.so Lopez is about to win the 2nd set...
wtf is happening?
It's horribly humid right now in NYC. Not a repeat of last year I hope...

Did not Djoker 2011 hit harder than this?Beginning of his decline?#28.5
It's okay, he's won 2 Slams this year already.Come on Novak. You have to serve big against Lopez.
I blame Federer for blessing him: "we've got a few more years, eh?"its a mystery to see Lopez in the quarters here and take a set out of Djokovic
This. He is trying Rafa against FeliI think he was trying to get the ball high on Lopez's one-handed backhand.
Serious.Reading people making parallels between Fed and Lopez before the match was hilarious.
Anyway I just put the match, what happened in the second set?
Lol. Federer-Lopez final.I blame Federer for blessing him: "we've got a few more years, eh?"

Lopez was never gonna challenge Djoko on hard (maybe he would on grass?). Cilic probably will.
