[I'm a loser baby...]

Flicked over to the Tour for a bit. Looks like they're both in cruise control now, waiting for a crack.

Great to have Djoko back in some kind of form, but the 11pm play must stop rule might have killed him off here. After an 11-9 tie break win he's the kind of player to run through 6-2 and win the match. Instead, Rafa got to head off and get a good nights sleep and all the momentum was taken out of the match.

11pm London? They won't even go close.

You say that, but given the other semi final....

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Good point that

Weren't all those after women's matches and whatnot? Could only be 3:30 or 4:30 there now.

 

[Bazal]

This is probably my favourite match up when they're both playing well

FFS Novak!

I mean the one yesterday that went for 7 hours and is the reason this match was carried over to today after being three sets deep last night.

Anderson vs Isner. Fifth set went 26-24.

Ah gotcha.

Funny, Isner was one of the guys a few years ago in that insane match that went to 87-89 or something.

Yeah vs Mahut I reckon?

At least he won that one

Yeah Mahut I'm pretty sure. So I guess he lost this one. Didn't realise he was still in.

Yeah lost to Kevin Anderson, who is in the final

It's kinda nice to see a new face in the final though, even if he is a Jaarpie.

Yeah. Good to see a battler in contention. And it's not like SA have been overburdened with tennis champions.

 

[Bazal]

This is ridiculous tennis

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

This is not the worst match I've ever seen.

 

[Bazal]

Boris Becker is unintentionally the funniest.

He's just, in the space off two points, come up with these gems;

"You have a thing called mind memory", and "Do you know you good you have to be, to be the best?"

Golden

 

[Bazal]

Meanwhile Dylan Groenewegen won the Tour stage over Sagan and Griepel.

This is better

 

[Bazal]

Yeeeeeeeaaaaaaaahhhhh!

The champ is back!

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Wow. I didn't see it ending like that. If anything I would have picked Nadal as the winner.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

I suppose it makes sense. Nadal is looking more bald than ever but I still think Novak could get by without a crash helmet. An impressive head of hair.

 

[Bazal]

Wow. I didn't see it ending like that. If anything I would have picked Nadal as the winner.

I was worried after the fourth, but the longer it went the more I thought Djoko would do it. He's got the wood over Rafa and he loves a long match...

Realistically that should have been the final. Epic match, shame it wasn't for the championship.
