He is playing the right way.
Very tough to execute his high-risk game consistently, though.

Nole plays much better when he's upset with himself! Laugh

Linesmen have been shocking in this match...imagine if there was no Hawkeye!

I can't believe Stan got bagelled in the 5th.

Disappointing match.

Congrats Nole. He won without playing very well.

He will need to play far better if he wants to win on Sunday.

Agree.
Against Murray it will be a different, he usually never passive in that match-up.

All in all a very disappointing AO.

That is it from me for this AO; will be unable to log in again until after the final (though I may hopefully be able to catch it on TV).

Enjoy the final.

You seem to have taken Stan's loss badly. Do you really need to escape from it all in the wilderness without WI-FI to recover from it?
As Becker once said: It's only a tennis match. Nobody died.

He is unusually heavy on his feet, probably because it's hard for him to settle in the footwork with Stan going for his shots and not playing predictable percentage patterns.

This may explain my observation...hope he can fix it for Sunday...

Not surprised to see his tyres wearing out a bit.
