AH: Serena, Dod (joker).

Good luck Andy!

Now the moment of truth. Can Andy hold or are we done?

Good.

Yes!!!!

Murray serving for the set. Djoko losing the long points, interesting.

Yes!!! I was so worried Andy would start flat.

Hopefully Andy can win 22:20 in the fifth.

HJ: Serena (joker) bryans.

That would be my ideal score.....But if it came to that, I'd prefer Djoko to win actually.

Djoko is really the one taking more risk.

Guys, this isn't the live score thread.
I'm lonely in the other one..

oh oh...love 30.

I wouldn't be surprised if this set goes 6-2 to Djoko.

I thought this was the live thread for Saturday.

Actually I am not even sure Djoko is the one taking more risk! Djoko takes calculated risks whereas most of Murrays shots are riskier actually....

Well not sure.....They such retrievers those 2!

Andy

For the very reason that Djoko lasts longer.

Or 60 like in their last few matches.

Like i said in the other thread, Djoko has more length, he pushes Murray back. From 3 yards behind the basline you can't hit past Djoko

Murray is now tired.

And, the sun is an advantage for Djoko. The ball is too bouncy for Murray now. This is why he can't step into the court.
Stan also needs -like Murray- heavy conditions.

Djoko saving energy now for his serves.

That's for sure. He gave everything those last few games of the fourth. He may still have not recovered from it.

But Murray is taller so it should suit him better. Isn't it?

At Wimbledon in a similar situation i'd fancy Murrays chances

He's obviously not able to hit more early, but i'm sure that was the gameplan

Well, all that exitement for nothing after all. This fifth isn't going to hurt Djoko.
He'll be fresh tomorrow. Too fresh for Stan.

Probably cause on average Djko woudl have less time to get to the ball.

That is what makes Djoko look better. He is on the ball quicker than Murray and therefore can get a better length on his shots, can aim more precisely, and of course hit less mistake.

This mouvement is everything! His main (if not only) weapon.

6-2

no make that 6-1

Unfortunatly enough to dominate under almost all circumstances.

wow, Djoko's reaction after the win..that was arrogant!

Very disappointing 5th set.

I miss Nadal's enthusiasm..

gallery play wrote:wow, Djoko's reaction after the win..that was arrogant!

In which way? Did not notice.

His french was pretty good though when interviewed by Pioline.

It's another drubbing in the last set.

I don;t like Murray's game cause it is too muscular....and this is the very reason why he loses badly in the distance.

I know what you mean.....Tennis is really a pain to watch nowadays. We have great mouvers with average shots taking everythng and killing the joy of watching shot makers liek Fed or Stan. I am pretty sure that Stan will get 90% of teh crowd tomorrow.

NITB, The match is over, you can get out of behind your sofa.

And don't hold back Nitb, we can take it!

Yes, despite he killed one of their darlings.

It's remarkable. We have a guy who utterly dominates but the crowd can't warm up for him, anywhere. I guess he's the least popular top player ever. Even the paris crowd went nuts for  Lendl (the other unpopular dominator) when he beat McEnroe.
Djoko is a nice guy off court so obviously his game isn't 'sexy' enough.

Safarova - joker
Dodig/Melo

(disappointing finish to the SF)

He reacted like he beat number 345, first round Brisbane. Not smiling and not even raising a hand. It was a statement to the crowd: "did you really think it was in doubt?". That's arrogant. Then again: a good strategy probably.

This is exactly what it is. He got some support from the "nadal haters" for killing Nadal but came up with a better version of nadal's game.

SO he has on his back all the Nadal haters now and the nadal fans...that's a lot! Poor guy.

Actually to be fair, today I was shared.....even happier for him to win than Murray...just but of course only Stan can save that tournament now.

I see...more due to tiredness I guess....and for him, the celebration can only start after tomorrow's match.
