Halep and Jankovic have had more breaks of serves than holds I believe.
Into the third set.

I like Jankovic. She seems a very nice girl.

Me, too.
Great mover and player, but struggling with confidence in this match as she had a long draught.
One if the fairest players I've seen.

Halep screaming starts to irritate me.

I can't stand it.
I like her all out aggressive game, but there is something very negative about her, a bit like JJ.

by noleisthebest Sun Mar 22, 2015 8:50 pm

Well, the agony is over...

by Tenez Sun Mar 22, 2015 8:51 pm

Yep..shame for Jan...glad she is one her way back. She lacked aggressivity today.

by luvsports! Sun Mar 22, 2015 8:52 pm

French translation with that word Ten Winking

by noleisthebest Sun Mar 22, 2015 8:54 pm

Can Halep's growling and racquet thrashing be explained as roid-rage?

by summerblues Sun Mar 22, 2015 9:06 pm

Just got home, sat down all ready to watch.

Good Luck

Roger

Federer is doomed. Djoko is everywhere with time to spare.

Heh. Not looking promising I agree. No indication that Roger will be able to find holes. But Roger is not yet properly calibrated; which makes Nole looks better than he perhaps is.

by noleisthebest Sun Mar 22, 2015 9:33 pm

Just tuned in.
Looking pretty even, but very physical.
It's going to be a grind.

by summerblues Sun Mar 22, 2015 9:36 pm

Nice point.

by Tenez Sun Mar 22, 2015 9:36 pm

Djoko moonballs a lot on Fed's BH to slow things down.

by noleisthebest Sun Mar 22, 2015 9:36 pm

It's amazing to see Federer play fast and rush Nole even on this court.
I hope The Digitals can appreciate how hard that is.

by Tenez Sun Mar 22, 2015 9:44 pm

fed certainly looks old today.....not sure whether it is in comparison with Djoko....or the courts....

by summerblues Sun Mar 22, 2015 9:45 pm

Absolutely dominant from Nole so far. Fed needs to find a way to change the patterns, presumably needs to approach more but it may be too hard to do here.

by noleisthebest Sun Mar 22, 2015 9:49 pm

He played a great game when he held his serve (saved a few BPs).
Nole is also playing aggressively but safer.

by summerblues Sun Mar 22, 2015 9:54 pm

That was not pretty. Djoko playing very well, Fed having no answers at all.

by Tenez Sun Mar 22, 2015 9:55 pm

Slow court...very quick set.

The conds were design for Rafa, so it's certainly not good for Fed. Djoko has that extra split second allowing him to play hard and safe.

If it was SHBH only, Fed woudl have won that set 61.

by noleisthebest Sun Mar 22, 2015 9:56 pm

Fed's serve is off. That's the problem.

by Tenez Sun Mar 22, 2015 9:58 pm

Fed has to come up with ridiculous great shots....whereas Djoko needs to play at 70%.

Exactly.

True, but he'd make his life much easier if he could get those first serves in.

by noleisthebest Sun Mar 22, 2015 10:02 pm

Awesome point from Fed for 30:40, he's like a cat!

Exactly.

So if Nadal makes his shots at 40% how can you say he's better than Federer?

by summerblues Sun Mar 22, 2015 10:07 pm

Not pretty. Very very easy for Nole so far.

I don't follow this at all.

First, do I say that Nadal is better than Federer? That is news to me. Second, what does it have to do with 40%?

by Tenez Sun Mar 22, 2015 10:12 pm

It's simply a BH thing....SHBH v DHBH...on those slow conds it is simply extremely unfair.

I was just going to say that, large frame or not, Fed's BH is still his Achilles' heel here.

It is.
I know exactly how Fed is feeling.
His arm must be buzzing like it's been elecricuted.

I think you did on the other thread.
40% is my analogue estimate of how much safer Nadal plays against Fed.

by noleisthebest Sun Mar 22, 2015 10:21 pm

Yes the court really killed tennis here, neither have come to the net much.
Fed tried, but it's tough, as he is a sitting duck with Noke being so quick.
The most annoying thing is his serve in this match.

Ok, so what? Safe is as good as risky if it works.

by summerblues Sun Mar 22, 2015 10:23 pm

Roger hanging in.

by Tenez Sun Mar 22, 2015 10:24 pm

Like a high bounce gives Nadal an amazing advantage, slow conds makes Djoko's footwork and shots twice as good.

by Tenez Sun Mar 22, 2015 10:31 pm

Don't get excited.....fed is doomed here.

by N2D2L Sun Mar 22, 2015 10:31 pm

by N2D2L Sun Mar 22, 2015 10:36 pm

I always find it so funny when Djokovic collapses because of the crowd.
He must be the only player to get so negatively affected by the crowd.
