Interesting stat just mentioned on the BBC, after taking the first 2 sets in grand slam play, fed is 174-0. Also djokovic has only come back from 0-2 down in sets once

Nole is given up.....i'm sure Rafa is happy, he respects both players but he doesn't wanna see Nole in the final, no way

he may want revenge but he knows he can not beat Nole, too good for Rafa from the baseline now and i bet he wants to win not just trying to get that VENDETTA :lol: , and against Roger, which btw is playing very very well has his tactic which works well the 80-85% of the times they play. There's still that 15% though :D

i'm very surprised with Roger, he defends very well from the baseline, he has improved a lot

Great serve on the bp and amazing defence to take the set, but this does look a bit like the "old" Djokovic.

I can see where you are coming from, but I think rafa's mentality is to back down from no one. But its just personal opinion :D

can anybody explain me why they didn't start at 12am rather than at 2pm, i mean i guess there're economical reasons but if Nole gets the 3rd the match will have to finish tomorrow, not a good planning from the management in my opinion

I have this weird feeling that novak may come back. If he wins following set I don't know, because the match will prob have to end due to light.

Well, Fed will need another 50 bps to get the break in this set, so yes, Novak could come back.
