Going to try for tickets for Sunday. Online only by an as yet unspecified method on a first come first serve basis. My hopes are not high.

I am not sure the match continuing would have been disadvantageous to Djokovic. Players like Querrey are not able to sustain against better players in long games. Today, Querrey would start out fresh. He has beaten Djokovic once in nine meetings. Essentially, he has to win one set and he can go all out in the first two he plays after a night's rest.

Yes you won't be surprised if Novak wins but big boy Sam Querrey is value with the odds. 1.67 seems short on Novak

Weird how a guy is 2 sets down and was a bit shambolic by his own standards in the 2nd set yet we all expect him to come through. Guess that the measure of the man.

Personally hope he loses as it will make it easier for Murray.

Djokovic would have won last night, will win today, and will lift the trophy on the third Tuesday after rain on Sunday and Monday next weekend.

****EDIT**** I forgot rain doesn't matter these days.

 

[Jono]

Either way we are up for an interesting match. Fairly obvious to say, but Querrey has to serve big all the way through.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

So it begins.

 

[Jono]

Imagine how awful it would have been for Querrey overnight. Actually has something to lose. Would have thought about it all night and this morning. Brutal.

 

[Jono]

4-0. Lezzzzz go Novak.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Well this isn't predictable at all

 

[Lillian Thomson]

How long would the tournament take if they played the whole thing for 12 hours a day under the roof?

 

[Pratters]

This non shifting of matches to the center court is ****ing ridiculous.

 

[harsh.ag]

Is the Djokovic-Querrey match happening?

 

[Pratters]

Raining again. FFS.

 

[Pratters]

Started again Harsh..

 

[harsh.ag]

Is it on the ****ing HD channel again?

 

[Pratters]

Just checked. Yes, only Star Sports HD 4.

 

[Pratters]

Querrey is playing quite well. More unforced errors than Djokovic but being able to rally fairly well.

 

[Pratters]

Every time Djokovic has a break point, Querrey serves a big one. Only 2/10 break points won for Nole so far.

 

[Pratters]

Make that 2/11 as he comes up with an ace now.

 

[Pratters]

Two break points for Querrey now.
