What a performance. Just clinical. Privileged to have seen that.

Yeah Errani and Vinci deserved the title.

 

[Jono]

Yep. Anytime someone comes back from 2-5 down in a deciding set of a championship match they no doubt deserve the title.

Actually interesting point, when most top players shun doubles, Errani/Vinci seem to care more about it then their singles career.

Maybe they CBF with the fame.

 

[Jono]

Very happy for Na Li.

Also humorous victory speech.

 

[NUFAN]

I want need Nadal to win in 4 sets. It makes for tough watching as I don't actually know who I'm going for in the first set.

 

[NUFAN]

Time to lift your game now Rafa..

 

[benchmark00]

When was the last time a final fell on Australia Day?

I would say the fireworks will help Nadal.

 

[NUFAN]

Sounds like an epic atmosphere, I'm sure Jono is making some terrible but standard puns. Fans on Wawrinka's side now..

Benchy, they mentioned earlier only 3 americans have won on Australia Day - I think Sampras or Agassi were mentioned, so they were the last winner. Rafa is gooone.

 

[benchmark00]

Nadal you cat.

 

[Johnners]

Jono tearing up aws

 

[Spark]

so is nadal actually this ****ed injury-wise or

if it is this is gonna be a seriously facile match. shame

 

[NUFAN]

Rafa the Justine Henin of the mens tour - Stan is Mauresmo only more feminine.

 

[Spikey]

worse than tomic imo

 

[Spark]

well this is kind of bizarre

 

[NUFAN]

I actually hope Nadal retires...

 

[Spark]

I actually hope Nadal retires...

yeah a default is much better than wasting everyone's time with another forty minutes of ridiculously one-sided tennis

 

[Spikey]

Nadel's serving here reminding me of former Australian opener bowling John Hastings

 

[Johnners]

Feel for Stan
