OT: Novak the Lion Djokovic

No probs. If someone has faith in some supernatural concept that apparently resides just above the clouds that's great. I heard Novak speak at 1.50 am and he is obviously quite intelligent. That gives me hope because one day he will think the whole thing through with reason and logic.

No need to be sarcastic. As I said I'm not religious either. But if others have a belief in a god and religion and that helps them through life, as long as it doesn't hurt others, then what's it to you?

I was bored after 4 games of the first set. Two blokes standing at the baseline whacking it back and forth. And Courier going on about the tactics: "oh Novak is trying to hit it to Rafa's backhand because that's not his strong point, and Rafa needs to get more spin on the ball so the bounce is higher".

f**king wow, imagine the brainy coach who had to come up with that shit!

Men's tennis, like a lot of men's sport, could do with some regression of the equipment allowed to be used. The power game - in tennis, cricket, golf, baseball etc - is boring. In baseball and golf they were smart enough to put limits on.

I thought parts of the match were a bit boring, but it drastically improved in the later sets and turned into one of the greatest tennis matches of all time

Slow courts don't help either. A serve and volley game is non existant now. Even grasscourts are so slow these baseline warriors can hit a passing shot from two metres behind the baseline just about every time they can.
