Muzza gets a pretty decent side of the draw.

Is Botovic still crying about the Olympics or has he got his shit together?

Del Potro, back for good or just going to keep pubbing big wins here and there?



Meanwhile, Edmund dumped out Gasquet in straight sets today :lol:

Novak received treatment during his match last night apparently. He went through in four but looks like that injury is going to keep bugging him.

As well as Andy is playing, I still can only see one winner if he were to meet Djokovic in the final.

Tsonga could test him little bit tomorrow.

The 5 or so extra days rest he'll have had if he reaches the final could be such a huge bonus though. Or maybe it could hamper his rhythm.

Nishikori had the match of his life tonight.

All he needs to do now is reach the final and retire for Novak.

Master Splinter
07-09-2016, 10:14 PM
That was woeful from Muzza. The breaks in set two completely ruined him. Played like a moran from then on. The last two guys he's lost to have been players he's historically and recently dominated. He concentrates better against the more dangerous guys.

Djokovic will probably stay world number one for another three years. Has Monfils pulled out yet?

Kano
07-09-2016, 10:21 PM
I don't think he needs to worry about number one, just grab a couple of more slams before he starts to decline in the next couple of years. This was a great chance to ride on the momentum built but he blew it. He needs to win an Australian. If he ends his career having not won one of those after so many finals it would be ridiculous.

McNamara That Ghost...
09-09-2016, 06:20 AM
Serena lost. :lol:

Kano
09-09-2016, 08:50 PM
6-3, 6-2 so far as Novak sleepwalks into the final.

Will be 3-3 in the third in a few quick points.

Kano
09-09-2016, 08:54 PM
Hold on, Monfils breaks to lead 2-4!

Four games in a row now :lol:

Kano

2-5!

Surely can't be long until Monfils retires.

Kano
09-09-2016, 09:09 PM
From 0-40 down Monfils takes the third set 6-2.

Every chance they both might die in this heat.

Kano
09-09-2016, 09:22 PM
Monfils bent over after nearly every point now.

Yet still drags it back from 0-40 to deuce.

Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie
12-09-2016, 08:10 AM
I watched the first two sets and went to bed, even before the match i had a feeling Stan might win. Djokovic looked like he was having troubles physically even though he's played hardly any Tennis this tournament due to a walkover and two injury retirements in his matches.

But more than that, he's always had trouble with hard hitters from the back of the court.......it makes him hesitant....and like with the French Open final last year Wawrinka was able to play on that and hit some amazing clean winners.

The only surprising thing is that Stan has won three grand slams so late in his career, he's like the Ian Wright of Tennis....fair play to him
