Holy **** Djokovic is going to double bagel Berdych to win the Beijing title.

Very mixed performance by Murray in defeat against Ferrer. Rafa also knocked out after deciding to play out the rest of the year with appendicitis.

 

[Jono]

Yeah Rafa looked so poor, had set points in the 2nd too and choked. Ridic. He must be being offered a lot of cash to play in Shanghai, otherwise can't see why he'd have played.

Novak and Fed been tested in these tournaments too by big names like Kukishkin and Mayer.

Why can't Camilla Giorgi find a dress that fits her?

 

[Jono]

Anyone watch Fed vs. Novak? That was absolutely gold class from Fed. Robbie Koenig described it as the best serve and volley performance in a decade, and I value his opinion more than most when it comes to tennis commentary and analysis.

Good on Fed, should beat Simon now, but ya never know.

 

[grecian]

Fed wins, puts on his watch standard.

Almost must be favourite for London ATM.

 

[Jono]

Simon completely blew that first set. Ridiculous.

 

[Anil]

federer racking up some regular titles this year...

 

[grecian]

Grigor Dimitrov, ladies and gentlemen!!!!!

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Another tournament win for Murray in Vienna in a desperate bid to make the o2. 9th should enough with Nadal's illness surely going to rule him out at some stage.

 

[Jono]

Great win, he looked stuffed at the start of that second set vs. Ferrer. That hold in his first service game was pivotal.

Berdych vs. Dimitrov sounds awesome. Only caught the first set up til 5-5.

 

[Jono]

Murray beats Ferrer, 3rd time they've played in the last month!

Also Rafa playing Shanghai and Basel whislt needing his appendix out is one of the stupidest things I can remember him doing. Now he's out for the season.

Baffling stuff.

reeks of desperation which is crazy…obviously the season didn't go as he had planned but he still won a slam this year so it's not as if it was a total mess…!

 

[Jono]

He was already qualified for London. Understand he wanted match practice heading into it but by not getting the surgery this month he's not ruined the rest of the year. Foolish stuff.

Meanwhile Robredo (jokingly) giving Murray the bird after wasting match points

 

[Jono]

Also Serena got some serious revenge on Halep on Sunday night in the final of the WTA Tour Finals. Incredible determination. Wanted to dominate that match after her embarrassing loss in the round robin stage on Wednesday.

 

[Cabinet96]

God if Fed wins this I'll cringe. Will have to continue my post US Open hiding, can't handle the love in.

 

[Jono]

Murray was 0-6 0-5 down and 0-30 with Fed missing a volley. He was so lucky not to be double bagelled

 

[Jono]

This tournament is proof we need at least 3 of the big 4 in form, otherwise tennis stinks. With an injured Rafa and a tired Murray, we can't be relying on Raonic, Cilic and Berdych ffs. Especially when you also have Del Potro injured.

Jesus Fed, clinical.

I know he's the best ever and all but I really wish he'd **** off now and let the new gen come through, the second-wind-having bastard..

He didn't win a Slam in 2013 or 2014 tbf
