[Rors]

Simply - Djoko gave it some beans in that point.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic is so adept at forcing Nadal back even after Nadal has nailed one crosscourt.

[Master Splinter]

:wacko:

:bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Holy crap. :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Nadal :doh:.

[Rors]

Someone get Rafa a bottle of whisky and a revolver after missing that one.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Djokovic.

[Cripps_orig]

They need to have one one a month WWE style

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Superb from Djokovic. Dropshot from the back of the court. Adv. Djokovic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That has to be one of the most ridiculous returns I've seen. :wacko:

[Cripps_orig]

That blonde bint in the paddy power advert is quite a looker

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Nadal.

[Rors]

This tennis final is astonishing - I urge you all to tear yourselves away from QVC, Al Jazeera or the porn channels and watch the end

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal went for it...:doh: 30-30.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

5-5.

[Master Splinter]

I can't imagine what a tie-break will be like in this match :wacko:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dear me Nadal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I can't imagine what a tie-break will be like in this match :wacko:.

RIP Dolgopolov's claim to fame. :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great anticipation from Djokovic. Break point.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic breaks and will serve for the Championship. Stunning.

[Cripps_orig]

Thats all she wrote i reckon

[Rors]

Almost there now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Point of the year!

:haha:

[Rors]

:faint:

[Cripps_orig]

What a point

What a fucking point

These 2 are crazy

[Master Splinter]

:bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Its a shame this wont go to a 5 setter.

If it did then its the best match of all time imo

As it is, probably the best 3 setter match of all time

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Nadal!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's a tiebreak!

[Rors]

Oh come on :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Tie break it is

[Master Splinter]

Come on Rafa :pray:.

This deserves to go to five sets.

Even if they both die.

[Rors]

(Mark Steel now providing text Twitter commentary)

[Cripps_orig]

Rafa with the mini break

Its on

[McNamara That Ghost...]

5-1 Nadal leads at the changeover.

[Cripps_orig]

5-1 Nadal at the change over

[Cripps_orig]

Novak gets one break back

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three set points for Nadal!

[Cripps_orig]

3 set points Nadal

Djokovic should have taken that point though

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal takes the third set 7-6 (7-3)!

[Rors]

For crying out loud :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Rafa :bow:.

[Cripps_orig]

Nadal wins it 7-6 (7-3)

What has Novak got left?

He looks dead out there

Nadal is a physical beast

[Rors]

Did Boris have to namecheck "Ultimate Warrior"?

[Cripps_orig]

Djokovic getting treatment.

Hes ripe for the picking

[Master Splinter]

People who are not watching this match :haha:.

They've had a shocker.

[Master Splinter]

Djoko in very close straight-sets..

Rors and Croft :pal:.

[Marc Overmars]

What a set!

Rafa showing the true spirit of a champ.

Don't care if I'm bleary eyed in the morning, I'm watching this shit. :popcorn:

[Rors]

Rors and Croft :pal:.

A pairing I could live with. Or could have. In 1984. If I wasn't just two at the time. *hands back shovel*

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Average of 1 hour and ten for each set. :haha:

[GunnerFan4Life]

this is ridonkulous.

[Rors]

Do me a favour :lol:

[Rors]

Djoko clearly being troubled by his back here.....

[Cripps_orig]

Really tempted to keep watching this but alas

dvd>tennis tbh

[Master Splinter]

Sampras-esque :bow:.

[Master Splinter]

Really tempted to keep watching this but alas

dvd>tennis tbh

WTF?

Of all your WUM attempts, this is the worst.

If you're being serious, I pity you.

[Rors]

Medical Time Out.
Spinal implant?

[GunnerFan4Life]

Wimbledon 2008 or this?

[Cripps_orig]

WTF?

Of all your WUM attempts, this is the worst.

If you're being serious, I pity you.

Worst? Id say its pretty good if i go by the volume of your WTF

And no i wasnt serious, im watching this til the end

Djokovic gets a warning for taking too long before each serve :lol:

I called that 2 hours ago

Me>umpire tbh

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic. :bow:

He learnt this from Nadal.

[Cripps_orig]

What happens if the medical timeout runs out and hes still getting treatment?

[Rors]

I reckon we're about 5 minutes away from Djoko getting on the mic and telling us he's "lost his smile"... :whistle:

[Rors]

Nadal will probably send down a beamer now :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Dont think we'll see many long rallys now

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two break points for Djokovic! :bow:

[fakeyank]

Come on Rafa!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

One break point remaining.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Djokovic. What a shot.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce again. :lol:

[fakeyank]

Is Rafa a Barca fan or Real fan? If Barca, fuck him..

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Djokovic, again.

[Cripps_orig]

Is Rafa a Barca fan or Real fan? If Barca, fuck him..Real

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Is Rafa a Barca fan or Real fan? If Barca, fuck him..

Real Madrid. He is involved with Real Mallorca heavily though, given their financial position and it is where he is from.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce. What are we having for breakfast?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Djokovic. Again. :haha:

[fakeyank]

Real Madrid. He is involved with Real Mallorca heavily though, given their financial position and it is where he is from.

Thank fuck..

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic breaks with a superb winner! 2-0 in the fourth set he leads.

[fakeyank]

Djoko got it in the bag now

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-0 Djokovic. First time in the match someone has managed to get that despite them collectively leading 2-0 three times. :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Nadal needs to hold serve cos i reckon he'll get a chance to get the break back.

Just keep calm.

We need a 5th set

[Master Splinter]

Real Madrid. He is involved with Real Mallorca heavily though, given their financial position and it is where he is from.

Mallorca/Barca/Spain legend Miguel Ángel Nadal is Rafa's uncle and Uncle Toni's (:bow:) brother.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-1 Djokovic leads. Love service.

[Cripps_orig]

Mallorca/Barcunts/Spain legend Miguel Ángel Nadal is Rafa's uncle and Uncle Toni's (:bow:) brother.Just corrected your little mistake there

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed thought that one was a fluke. :ninja:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal. :doh: 0-30.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three break points for Djokovic!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic breaks to love and will serve for the Championship again!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a return from Nadal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Championship point for Djokovic. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic wins the U.S Open 6-2 6-4 6-7 (3-7) 6-1 !!!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What. A. Match. Djokovic. :bow: Nadal. :bow:

Three Slams in a year for Djokovic and even without those you'd still say he has had a brilliant one given where he was, say two years ago. Amazing improvement.

As for Rafa, well he never gives up and certainly played his part in it. Djokovic just has the game that can take it away from him however. Four hours + of stupidly long rallies and unbelievable power hitting.

Plenty of mark out moments. That 17 minute long game in particular.

[Cripps_orig]

Its over

Shit last set

First 3 :bow:

[Master Splinter]

A shame it ended like that. It looked like Nadal had lost all his energy, rather than Djokovic.

What a match though :bow:.

Djokovic :bow: :bow:.

Nadal :bow:.

Tennis :bow:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal is going to kick a cat I think.

[Master Splinter]

Djokovic in four.



:gp:

:bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Murray is one of the 2 to beat Djokovic this year

His claim to fame

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's on!

[Master Splinter]

Wonder if Nadal will play in the Davis Cup :popcorn:.

Djokovic will have so many ranking points to defend next year. Unless he has another superhuman year, someone else could steal the number one ranking.

Time for Bogdanovic to claim his rightful place :bow:.

[Marc Overmars]

Great advert for Tennis. I crashed out and slept on the sofa during the last set because it was so one sided!

Credit to Djok though for finishing it like that. I thought Nadal had gained a 2nd wind but it wasn't to be.

Some of those rallies, wow. Tennis is easily the most physically demanding sport around, you need to use every ounce of strength and mental ability you have and last night demonstrated that.

Tennis. :bow:

[Özim]

Murray is one of the 2 to beat Djokovic this year

His claim to fame
Djokovic was injured and retired in that match, not sure it can really be counted as a genuine victory against him.

The only one that beat him fully fit and won a whole match was Federer.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic hit 51 winners. WTF?
