Rain stops play. Djokovic needs it, the douche.

Hopefully it keeps raining until the Spain-Italy game is over.
The Wengerbabies
10-06-2012, 03:40 PM
Players back on court. Looks like I'll have a decision to make.
McNamara That Ghost...
10-06-2012, 03:41 PM
Think they are back out on court.
I'll have to stream the tennis on the ITV website, that will get less views than the Spain vs Italy game presumably.
McNamara That Ghost...
10-06-2012, 03:46 PM
Two set points for Nadal. :doh:
McNamara That Ghost...
10-06-2012, 03:46 PM
One set point remaining.
McNamara That Ghost...
10-06-2012, 03:47 PM
Brilliant from Nadal. He takes the second set 6-3.
Oh dear.
The Wengerbabies

The Wengerbabies
10-06-2012, 03:58 PM

Surprised this is still on
Even more surprised that its only the 3rd set especially as Nadal took the first 2 sets piss easy although i say that just looking at the scores and not how they were played. For all i know, there were long rallies hence its only 3rd set
McNamara That Ghost...
10-06-2012, 04:21 PM
It was a bit shit tbf. Djokovic had a lot of the better in the rallies but his serving was atrocious.
Oh and there was a rain delay.
McNamara That Ghost...
10-06-2012, 04:22 PM
4-2 Djokovic leads.
McNamara That Ghost...
10-06-2012, 04:27 PM
This is much more like the prevous Grand Slam finals between them, Nadal just not able to cope with Djokovic's depth and hitting.
McNamara That Ghost...
10-06-2012, 04:28 PM
Adv. Djokovic!
McNamara That Ghost...
10-06-2012, 04:29 PM
Djokovic breaks Nadal again and will serve for the third set!
McNamara That Ghost...
10-06-2012, 04:32 PM
Three set points!
McNamara That Ghost...
10-06-2012, 04:32 PM
Djokovic takes the third set 6-2! Mightily impressive from 2-0 down in games and 2-0 down in sets.
McNamara That Ghost...
10-06-2012, 04:35 PM
Nadal isn't happy about the conditions. :lol:
Cripps_orig
10-06-2012, 04:36 PM
Seems like it is turning in to a good final
FFS need rain to hold them off til after Spain v Italy
Why couldnt the Irish match be first? Dont give a crap about watching them
McNamara That Ghost...
10-06-2012, 04:38 PM
What a rally. Back to beating the shit out of each other from the Aussie Open.
McNamara That Ghost...
10-06-2012, 04:42 PM
Adv. Djokovic on Nadal's serve.
Cripps_orig
10-06-2012, 04:43 PM

McNamara That Ghost...
11-06-2012, 11:28 AM
Djokovic holds. 3-3. Had been called out but the umpire corrects it.
Cripps_orig

Brilliant from Djokovic.
McNamara That Ghost...
11-06-2012, 11:49 AM
5-5. Djokovic has to break, he can't afford a tie-break against Nadal.
Cripps_orig
11-06-2012, 11:52 AM
Only 7 aces in the whole match :lol:
Roddick, Ivanisevic, Phillipousis, Karlovic etc must be turning in their graves
Cripps_orig
11-06-2012, 11:53 AM

McNamara That Ghost...
11-06-2012, 11:55 AM
6-5. This could be it for Djokovic.
Cripps_orig

Nadal :bow:
King of dirt apparently
Cripps_orig
11-06-2012, 12:04 PM
Djokovics 18 months of fame over?
Back to the Nadal v Federer rivalry at last.
Bring on Wimbledon
Just had a look at BBC 2. Chew Bacca with John lloyd and Andrew Castle talking about Federer
Cripps_orig
11-06-2012, 12:07 PM
Predictions?
Nadal for men
Sharapova for women
Me :bow:
The Wengerbabies
11-06-2012, 12:13 PM
Nadal :bow:
Djokovic :haha:
Cripps_orig
11-06-2012, 12:15 PM
Djokovic speaking some weird language
Cripps_orig
11-06-2012, 12:50 PM
Any chance of seeing Jim Courier at Wimbledon?
McNamara That Ghost...
11-06-2012, 01:01 PM
Not sure if he is freelance or not. Guess he might be working for ESPN (in America) though, like McEnroe does.
Master Splinter
11-06-2012, 02:40 PM
Nadal :bow: :bow:.
Great effort from Djokovic. He wasn't playing particularly well at all, but still got to the final. He'll get his hands on this trophy soon, you'd expect.
Courier is annoying when he does those terrible on-court interviews at the Australian Open, but as a commentator he's one of the best. BBC should cancel Doctors and pay him what he wants for Wimbledon. Actually, get rid of McEnroe instead.
Time for ITV to get all the Slams from the Beeb tbf. Tennis without Castle :cloud9:.
McNamara That Ghost...
