Uhhh, If you're referring to me, I'm generally a Serena fan. But her outbursts at the 09 US Open and today were disgraceful IMO. It wasn't that she was angry at the umpire, it was the things she said to the umpire "If you ever see me walking down the hall look the other away"

That's intimidating the umpire.

I don't want her banned ftr. And she obviously won't be.

Shocking behaviour from Serena. By my understanding the umpire was quite right to penalise her, just as the foot fault was a valid call in 2009. Was hoping that Stosur would win anyway, but even more pleased she was victorious after Serena's antics.

Couldn't handle it when she was up against it.

Anyway pumped for the final tonight. Come on Novack.

Would like Rafa to not lose his 6th final in a row to Novak, but won't mind if Novak wins tonight nevertheless. If Novak wins tonight it really will cap off a tremendous year.

Two absolute champions going head to head. Should be awesome. Get the feeling Rafa was embarrassed by his Wimbledon final performance and wants to make up for that.

 

[Cabinet96]

Epic start.

 

[Jono]

So important for Rafa to hold and get to 3-0 in the second. Can't let what happened in the first set be repeated.

 

[Cabinet96]

17 minuete game. Holy Crap.

 

[Jono]

Nadal works so hard to break back in the 2nd and immediately gives up the break again.

Novak is just relentless.

 

[Jono]

6-2 6-4 most misleading scoreline evr lol. Taken 2 hours and 10 minutes!!!

 

[Burgey]

Long way back.

 

[centurymaker]

as soon as he failed to hold the 3rd game, i knew he'd lose.

 

[Jono]

VAMOS!

Rafa willing himself back from the dead despite the fact he's thrown everything at Novak, and just not been able to get through him.

Come on, get the third set and make this interesting.

 

[Jono]

Wow, saves break point in the most epic fashion and then breaks Rafa. This guy is immense. Unstoppable.

Serving for the title now.

 

[Cevno]

Go Nadal!!

 

[Jono]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS


What an inspirational come back.

 

[Jono]

Trainer out for Novak. Gamesmanship I reckon.

Rafa 3 times down a break in that set.

 

[Cabinet96]

Novack doesn't look up for it. Nadal's game I reckon.

 

[Cevno]

This has potential to be a real classic.

 

[Jono]

Calling for the trainer again.

Interesting.
