hmm...fed looks to be moving well.

much better than last match.

 

[SLD76]

Are Nole andMayer out as well?

espn is showing djoker/mayer

i have the tv on that match and watching fed/youhz on espn 3

 

[Cormorant]

Mayer's got that Seppi look in his eyes early on; what an unrealized talent this German has been.

Whaddaya frakkin know, it's starting to rain; did the roof jam when they tried to close it?

I've been following Wimby only through flashscore and the two words most seen these last days are "play interrupted".

Same here. Now I'm actually glad that I've been away the last couple days and dont have to sit through this crap.

can Fed, by winning the final, get to #1?
this site seems to say he can't:
http://live-tennis.eu/
as Djoko's minimum of points is better than Fed's max

the ATP site says he can:
Federer can reclaim No. 1 in the South African Airways ATP Rankings if he wins his 17th major championship title. If he does lift the trophy on Sunday, then he will match record-holder Pete Sampras for the total number of weeks (286) as the World No. 1.

That is coz Fed plays against Djoko in the SF. If Fed wins, he still needs to win the final to get to no 1. However, if Djoko wins over Fed, he remains no 1 regardless of the final.

We really need to have tsonga abandon that stupid way of celebrating when he wins.
I never saw any player before "trademark" his winning gesture and poses.
It's just arrogant and hideous. Nobody asks him to do it. Annoying

And one more for good measure. Tsonga-Tebows.

 

[jaggy]

Thanking the baby jesus for your wins goes back to at least Chang who was also slammed for it. it is what it is.

 

[CCNM]

Yaaay Djoko, Fed, Tsonga & Murray. The fans with tickets to those games shuld not be disappointed.

Much better line-up compared to the Nadal-Murray borefests of 2010 or 2011.
