Nishikori's win over Raonic was spectacular. Especially since he lost to him at Wimbledon.

Not bad against Stan either! Though I wish he could've rapped it up a bit earlier. Going to be a late night with with Novak and Andy not on till after the Women..

Some 9th game. Setting in for the long haul here.

Federer-Monfils has been crazy. Federer up a break in the 5th after coming back from 2 sets-0 down and down 2 match points in the 4th.

 

[Spikey]

the moment when Monfils tried the through the legs shot was amazing

 

[OverratedSanity]

Yeah, feeling for Monfils, really. Completely fell apart for him from a winning position.

You'd expect a Federer-Box Head final from here, but Roger was pretty ordinary in the first two sets there. First match of the tourney I've seen.

I gather Nadal didn't play with injury?

Got the impression Federer had the ****s with him in the fourth there when he was carrying on a bit.

Always thought Monfils has a game perfect for big time tennis, but he's such a walking brain fade. He falls apart like a Sao in a blender.

Classic Monfils and classic Fed. Amazing ability to fight back and when Monfils gave him an opening with a massive choke he said thank you very much.

Cilic had a good tournament so far

 

[Anil]

this is nole's tournament…i think cilic has a better chance against him than federer...

C'mon Kei, let's change this utterly dull order.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Set up for one of those crazy fightbacks from matchppoint that djokovic does.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Ok then nope

 

[grecian]

Wow great stuff

 

[OverratedSanity]

Felt he had to close it out in the 4th. Brilliant stuff. Hopefully the fab 4 slowly declines in dominance now.

Want Federer to win this though. Will be his biggest missed opportunity if he losesffrom here.

Cilic isn't going to be easy though.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Course not. But he's more likely to beat Cilic and Kei than Djokovic or Nadal.

For the record, the last Grand Slam final without one of Federer, Nadal, Djokovic or Murray in it was Safin-Hewitt at the 2005 Australian.

 

[Burgey]

Fmd Cilic is making everything. I mean everything here.

 

[Burgey]

Superb tennis from Cilic. Just blew Federer away. Would have beaten anyone today. Hit so many lines and clean winners.

Fine GS year for Fed. Though he was pretty well done after last year but he keeps on keeping on in the big tourneys.

Oh ffs, what a **** day. I though Novak winning Wimbledon was supposed to lead to him dominating the tour? Nadal's got injured and he's just spent the last few weeks playing **** tennis, losing to random average ****s and claiming he has more important things than tennis. He should've ****ing dominated the North American hard court season instead of losing every time someone dared play well against him or he played a match with any ****ing importance. Nadal must be spinning in his injury bed watching a bunch of average ****s slug it out for major tournaments while he's on the sidelines. Seriously, what's the point of getting to every semi final or final of a grandlsam if you just pack it in against anyone decent in the big ****ing moments. Boris Becker was supposed to sort this out and it's just escalated into a ****ing hysterical joke. **** has brought nothing to Novak's game.
