Lol, this is just ridiculous.

 

[rando14]

Looks like Novak might be starting to give a crap

 

[clemenx]

Fuck, this should've started an hour later, still stuck at work

 

[BlindCommunication]

The end of this tournament has been ruined by the weather. Really awful tennis since the semis started and a disgrace to have players perform in the wind like this, the quality of tennis is just abysmal.

 

[Diprosalic]

The wind does not ruin tournaments. Players are supposed to be able to adapt to the conditions they must play in. Stop griping.

Secondly we've only seen 3 games, hold your god damn balls.

ugh yeah of course players need to be able to adapt but adapting in windy condition more often than not means pushing which is boring to watch = ruining the finals.

Fuck, this should've started an hour later, still stuck at work

here is what you miss:

push, push, push, push, push, UE.
push push push UE.
break.

 

[agrajag]

Nadal with his heavy topspin would probably have done well in these conditions.

 

[HeroMK]

Djokovic using Nadal forehand swings haha. This is ridiculous! The better pusher will win.

congrats andy murray then.

 

[agrajag]

Which player will out-defend the other today?

 

[Spiritreaver]

Damn, this is the first time I've noticed the UNIQLO on Djokovic's shirt. I woke up to that today.

Lol. Have you ever played Tennis in these conditions? You can't fully adapt to these conditions. Especially not if (what's apparently the case) conditions seem to be changing all the time.

 

[moojito]

Some really nice rallies here all the same.

It's a shame because these two are an incredible match up when both play well (eg. AO and Olympics this year), I know people remember the AO final because of its length but I though Djokovic-Murray was the best match of that tournament.

 

[John Dunbar]

have all five games been won by the player playing on the side of the court farther from the camera?

Yes.

Exactly. Even just switching sides will fuck your whole game up because one game you were playing with the wind with you, then you're playing with the wind against you all of a sudden. And when the wind is gusty and the shape of the stadium itself is creating turbulence, it's very unpredictable.

 

[Wafflecakes]

Djoker needs to man up. Acting like a little baby with the racket throwing and pounding the ground.

 

[Ravensmash]

Djokovic beginning to get frustrated.

Come on Andy!

 

[Sax Russel]

lol

 

[Ravensmash]

lol

lol indeed, that rally was ridiculous

 

[agrajag]

Pushovic

 

[Sax Russel]

Man that winners to errors stat, for both players, is some depressing stuff.

 

[EdibleExplosives]

Murray raging his tits off.

Really? I'm not really going to get into an argument here as you guys are missing my point from the getgo. I never said adapting to changes was easy or even entirely feasible, but it should be within your skill (especially at level this high) to be capable of answering in some fashion.

All that aside I want to see a perfect match as much as anyone else, but I also don't want to wait a week to see it happen. That's something I've complained about earlier in regards to the policies of scheduling play at this venue during shitty weather.

 

[Gareth Bale]

What a terrible exchange at the net

 

[Akito]

Oh wow this match, so random

 

[Omzz]

well that was a good effort by andy

 

[agrajag]

weaksauce overheads from Novak. He's no Fedgod.

 

[Brazil]

God, I'm still stuck at work for 20 more minutes! Come ooooon.

 

[HeroMK]

Djokovic playing perfect pusher tennis now. I never knew he had it in him.

 

[Spiritreaver]

Ugh, I really don't want to go to class now. Not only will I be stuck in class, but my professor is like super anti-phone. Won't even be able to casually listen during lecture, or check the scores.

 

[szaromir]

Murray brainfarted.

 

[zeeaykay]

Tiebreak for the first set! These guys are playing their A-game right now. Some insane points.

 

[Igo]

What a shit shot from Murray.

 

[3Sixty]

Some hilarious good/bad rallies.

 

[szaromir]

Lol, Murray knocked out Djokovic with a body serve.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Did Murray just say Shit fuck?

 

[John Dunbar]

andy's mom is ruthless.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Damn this be tense

4MB for that gif, not worth it. Some great rallies throughout this match so far, but most of the time ended with a poor missed shot.

 

[clemenx]

Oh shit, tight tiebreak.

 

[perfectchaos007]

8 all in the TB. so tight

 

[clemenx]

Nole's strokes look like utter shit first game I'm watching.

 

[DemonNite]

this game is gonna be a marathon... what a point

 

[moojito]

Murray is not a closer.

 

[Diprosalic]

nole looks like shit. smashing the ball and it flies 2m.

 

[Igo]

Fucking hell, Murray is so frustrating to watch. Djokovic is on the ropes and all he does is put these weak balls down the middle of the court.

 

[szaromir]

Now watch Murray wasting another SP.

 

[3Sixty]

If nothing else Novak will have an acting career at the end of this.

 

[Diprosalic]

Now watch Murray wasting another SP.

there you go.
