Australian Open January 16th-30th

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Federer on Nadal's serve!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stunning from Federer, he breaks and leads 2-0!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ridiculous return from Nadal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer holds though. 3-0 he leads. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Federer often starts like this in big matches.

The backhand is vicious at the moment though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

True, he should've won the first set at Roland Garros against Nadal. Fed is refusing to show Nadal his backhand consistently through a point though, this time. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:blink: What a shot from Federer.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Nadal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal breaks back, 4-3 down though. That was a typical Federer game against Nadal there, hitting the net from stupid positions.

[Master Splinter]

Federer should start slower in future tbf.

[Master Splinter]

WTF is Wilander talking about? :lol:

He is brilliant though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal held to love, as does Federer. Nadal serving to stay in the first set.

And Wilander was trying to show that's what they do in Australia, just come round to people's houses and take a beer. :blink: They'll never live the 'convicts' tag down...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

5-5. Another love service game.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer breaks the love service games with a terrible point. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer holds though, 6-5.

[Master Splinter]

Federer seems to be going through all phases of his customary bottle job against Nadal in one set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's tiebreak time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It was there for Nadal, he did a Federer though. 3-1 Fed leads and with one serve remaining.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brilliant from Fed, three set points!

[Master Splinter]

What a half-volley :bow:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two set points remaining.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal makes Federer serve it out, massive forehand there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer takes the first set 7-6 (7-5)!

[Master Splinter]

It's better for the match that Federer took that. It should delay the possible crumble.

[Master Splinter]

What a slice. :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer breaks to love at the start of the second set. :blink:

[Master Splinter]

Federer unlocked Beast Mode there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal breaks to love back. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Federer.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed had it. :doh:

Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal holds and leads 3-2 in the second set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three break points for Nadal. What a shot!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two break points remaining.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

One break point remaining.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stunning from Nadal. He breaks and leads 4-2 in the second set.

[Master Splinter]

Those two shots from Nadal were absurd.

Illegal cheat cards.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer is serving to stay in the second set.

[Master Splinter]

Pointless fireworks. :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And it is back on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three set points for Nadal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And Nadal takes it 6-2.

[Master Splinter]

Nadal has gone mental.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed is going to pieces. :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three break points for Nadal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce. :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

31 unforced errors for Federer, nearly 32. Somehow the ball crawls over. Adv. Federer, again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer somehow holds, 1-1 in the third set.

[KESSLER]

Fuck sake, got a 2 hour lecture now :(

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well with Nadal's serve it will probably still be on by the end of it.

[Master Splinter]

What a ridiculous point.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Federer!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Federer.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal gets deuce with an ace. :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Federer again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce again. Nadal is doing what Federer does on the big points in terms of serving.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Federer again. Come on FFS.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed breaks and leads 4-3 in the third set!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Not really the time for a double fault. 15-30. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two break points for Nadal. Must be soul destroying.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal breaks back. 4-4. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal leads 5-4, Fed serving to stay in the third set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And he does so.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer serving to force a third set tiebreak.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Set point for Nadal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce. Wow.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a catch by the ballgirl. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's tiebreak time!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal leads 5-1. :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Five set points for Nadal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Four set points remaining.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three set points remaining.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two set points remaining. :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

One set point remaining, on Nadal's serve though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal takes the third set 7-6 (7-5).

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Nadal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce. I thought that might be dropping in, Fed knew better. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed holds, leads 2-1. Nadal to serve.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two break points for Nadal, Fed on the verge of going out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

One break point remaining.

[Cripps_orig]

Sharapova in to the final :bow:

No idea who she beat in the semis though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce. Just about.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed digs it out again. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stunning. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Federer on Nadal's serve.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed went for the big one, wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal holds, 4-4.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Nadal, this will be it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce. Bloody hell.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Nadal. Ridiculous.

[Master Splinter]

Amazing from Nadal. He's a machine.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal breaks and will serve for the match.

Fed. :wave:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Match point for Nadal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce. :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Federer. Er, what?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce. Fed. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Federer again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Far too many of those from Federer. Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Nadal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal wins 6-7 (5-7) 6-2 7-6 (7-5) 6-4!

[Dennis Bendtner]

Will tomorrow's match be around 08:30 too? Will watch this. Go Andrew.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yeah it will be. It's also on BBC2 and on the BBC website.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's on. Djokovic held to 15. Andrew Castle said Murray was looking to ambush the Djokovic serve (he said that when he was 40-0 down). :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two break points for Djokovic. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

One break point remaining.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic puts one wide. Wide of the doubles court in fact. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Murray.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce. Djokovic went for it on his second serve. :lol:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

[Dennis Bendtner]

BBC website has a stream with Five Live commentary! :bow:

I wanted to get away from the goon from GMTV.

Murray breaks! :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Terrible from Murray. Break point for Djokovic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce. What a point.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Double fault from Murray brings Adv. Djokovic.

Two break points for Murray.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

One break point remaining.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[Dennis Bendtner]

No one is enjoying serving :unsure:

[Dennis Bendtner]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two break points for Djokovic. Two sets in, there must have been close to thirty break points in this match.

And, very is the answer.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Superb from Djokovic up the line. Deuce.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Andrew Castle does chat some nonsese don't

[Dennis Bendtner]

My word. This is a hell of a game.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic holds after saving four break points. Nearly a fifteen minute game. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray breaks and leads 2-1 in the third set.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Murray breaks and leads 2-1 in the third set.

World no 1 is having a shocker, he's been really bad today

[Dennis Bendtner]

GMTV is setting himself up to look a bit stupid. It's all on Murray now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic breaks back. 2-2. This is stupid.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Ridiculous. Is someone going to serve out an untroubled game any time soon.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic holds. :yikes: Still had break points to save though.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Murray threw that one away.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three holds of serve in a row. :faint:

Djokovic leads 4-3 in the third set.

[Syn]

Well held, Muzza.

[Syn]

Probably not interesting to most of you but I swear they're fucking up on the latest odds. http://sports.ladbrokes.com/en-gb/BetInPlay?EvId=215694903

After every point, there's a ridiculous swing. When Djovokic lost one point to go to 0-15 Murray, it went from odds of 1.5 to 2. A couple more points for Murray and it'd go even way above that. A good opportunity to stick some money on Djokovic if he's ever broken. We know he's likely to win the game. Hedging tbh.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

5-4, Murray is serving to stay in the set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Set point for Djokovic!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Saved with an ace. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Djokovic. Terrible volley from Djokovic, got lucky.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a shot from Murray. Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Djokovic again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce again. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray holds. Streaky from both of them. 5-5.

[Syn]

Holy jebus. The tension is just too much.

Two break points for Djokovic. So sloppy from Murray.

[Syn]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic breaks back! It's tiebreak time. :haha:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray takes the third set 7-6 (7-4)!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic breaks at the start of the fourth set. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic holds, Murray serving to stay in the fourth set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic takes the fourth set 6-1. :haha:

WTF?

[Dennis Bendtner]

I believe they call that giving up. Imagine if a Pakistan player did that?

[Olivier's xmas twist]

I believe they call that giving up. Imagine if a Pakistan player did that?

No its called Murray being Murray

[Dennis Bendtner]

Djokovic does some ridiculous things to stay in rallies.

[Syn]

I believe they call that giving up. Imagine if a Pakistan player did that?

Exactly what I was thinking. Well...I mean it was obviously different in the Pakistan case but if they did stop chasing for balls heading to the boundary etc. then there would be a big fuss about it.

Even though I like my betting, I don't think Murray has a duty to play to his best. Obviously he feels that conserving energy is the best way. Not sure I agree but ultimately I think - in any sport - if a player wants to give up, they should be allowed to do so.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Djokovic!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Saved with an ace, again.

It doesn't make any sense because it surely means conserved energy for his opponent too. Just sounds like excuses to me.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Djokovic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poor shot from Djokovic, netted an easy one. Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And another one from Djokovic, put this one long. Adv. Murray.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brilliantly saved by Djokovic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Djokovic. Holy crap.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce again. Nearly another ten minute+ game.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray holds, 2-2.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Don't think Muzza is breaking him any time soon. Will have to hold out for the tie-break.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

No tiebreaks in the fifth at this grand slam.

[Dennis Bendtner]

oops

There I expose myself as the fairweather fan...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Djokovic.

[Dennis Bendtner]

He's even rubbish at the review system. Beginning to think Murray is Pakistani.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

So close. Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Djokovic. That's really poor from Murray.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic breaks and leads 4-2 in the fifth set!

[Dennis Bendtner]

Kaboom.

Murray :wave:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray is serving to stay in the match.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic to serve it out.

[Syn]

Ah well. Made some decent money by going with Djovokic directly after Murray won the 3rd. :dance:

Come on Tennis.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three break points for Murray. :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray breaks to love. Still serving to stay in the match.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Hmmmm :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's 5-5. :haha:

[Syn]

The fucker thinks he's Didier Dhonford. You can't be a maverick looking like you do, Muzza. Hand over the money, Lebowski.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two break points for Murray. :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

One break point remaining.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brilliant from Djokovic. :bow: Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Murray.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Novak :pal:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tame from Murray, on a second serve too. Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Djokovic.
