First danger here at 15-30

by Josiah Maiestas Sat 10 Sep 2011, 9:34 pm

Novak is beginning to fall asleep...Roger needs to take the initiative.

by lydian Sat 10 Sep 2011, 9:34 pm

Pure adrenalin will keep Fed going now...you wont see the Fed from sets 3 and 4. He can still take this if he doesnt press than panic button and I think he's mentally decided to go for it...good for him!

by **JuliusHMarx** Sat 10 Sep 2011, 9:34 pm

Can I be the first to predict - Djoko to win after saving 2 match points!

by Simple_Analyst Sat 10 Sep 2011, 9:35 pm

Surpise, surprise, Federer looking the fitter of the 2 in the final set but Djokovic cleverly is trying to move him on the baseline.

by Josiah Maiestas Sat 10 Sep 2011, 9:36 pm

THAT return was totally WEAk from him...you can't possibly expect Novak to mess up with that freebie

Here comes the break for Fed.

by Simple_Analyst Sat 10 Sep 2011, 9:41 pm

Serve keeping Federer in. It's like Roddick vs Djokovic now and Djokovic has to be careful here. US Open tie breaks so can become a lottery.

by Josiah Maiestas Sat 10 Sep 2011, 9:44 pm

Well done for jinxing him Jahu... now why don't you go play in the sandbox with your little friends and transformers toys..

by Jahu Sat 10 Sep 2011, 9:47 pm

It's coming, hang on to your hat.

by Mad for Chelsea Sat 10 Sep 2011, 9:48 pm

Allez Roger!

by lydian Sat 10 Sep 2011, 9:49 pm

Yes this resurgence blows the physical argument out of the water...its not physicality that causes the dips, its his mental dips. Look at him now, he's focused his mind again and look at the difference in his play!!

by Simple_Analyst Sat 10 Sep 2011, 9:50 pm

Yep, physicality has nothing to do with this set. Both players looking fresh to me. One has to crack mentally out there.

by droogle Sat 10 Sep 2011, 9:51 pm

No, Djokovic has tired a bit and Roger's had a couple of sets of downtime. . . now adrenaline has lifted him. That sort of thing.

by Simple_Analyst Sat 10 Sep 2011, 9:51 pm

Djokovic will get broken here.

by Mad for Chelsea Sat 10 Sep 2011, 9:51 pm

you could see it coming, moronic crowd furious

by CaledonianCraig Sat 10 Sep 2011, 9:52 pm

Three massive break points for Federer now. Surely three virtual match points.

Josiah, you owe me a ice cold Coca-Cola Smile

by Josiah Maiestas Sat 10 Sep 2011, 9:52 pm

SHOCKED........LOL

by droogle Sat 10 Sep 2011, 9:52 pm

No Roger, don't do it. Don't win. Please.

by Mad for Chelsea Sat 10 Sep 2011, 9:52 pm

Djokovic cracks! completely and utterly!

by CaledonianCraig Sat 10 Sep 2011, 9:52 pm

That could be it. Monumental effort from Roge Federer. He serves for the match.

by **JuliusHMarx** Sat 10 Sep 2011, 9:53 pm

Oh no, lost his bottle at 0-30!
C'mon - save those 2 upcoming match points, man!

by legendkillar Sat 10 Sep 2011, 9:53 pm

Oh no. What a titanic battle it has been. Great effort by both players.

by Josiah Maiestas Sat 10 Sep 2011, 9:53 pm

This current number 1 like I said earlier...is not a blue clay talent!

by Simple_Analyst Sat 10 Sep 2011, 9:53 pm

Hmmm if Nadal manages to beat Murray and Djokovic loses this, i'll be very disappointed.

by droogle Sat 10 Sep 2011, 9:54 pm

Good lord.

by droogle Sat 10 Sep 2011, 9:54 pm

Good lord.

by droogle Sat 10 Sep 2011, 9:55 pm

2 match points saved?

by Simple_Analyst Sat 10 Sep 2011, 9:56 pm

What a shot from Djokovic!

by legendkillar Sat 10 Sep 2011, 9:56 pm

What guts by Djoko

by Simple_Analyst Sat 10 Sep 2011, 9:58 pm

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha laughing

he is choking it again. Choker laughing

by Jahu Sat 10 Sep 2011, 9:58 pm

It cant me happening. A cornered animal is dangerous.

by legendkillar Sat 10 Sep 2011, 9:58 pm

Federer beat himself there. Novak to serve to stay in it.

by CaledonianCraig Sat 10 Sep 2011, 9:58 pm

What drama. Fed (like last year) throws away two match points and we are back on serve. Crazy.

by Mad for Chelsea Sat 10 Sep 2011, 9:58 pm

can you believe it? serious choking there...

by **JuliusHMarx** Sat 10 Sep 2011, 9:59 pm

Did anyone predict saving 2 match points? Oh yeah - me! I thank you!

by wow Sat 10 Sep 2011, 10:00 pm

This choke is a bad bad news for Nadal Smile

by Josiah Maiestas Sat 10 Sep 2011, 10:00 pm

HMMM.... this match has suddenly made the USO sh** weather episode a thing of the past... don't know what'll happen next..

by droogle Sat 10 Sep 2011, 10:00 pm

Surely now Roger is done running on empty and the wheels will fully fall off.

by CaledonianCraig Sat 10 Sep 2011, 10:00 pm

He's got to win yet. Wink

by legendkillar Sat 10 Sep 2011, 10:03 pm

Man what a big 2 games coming up

by CaledonianCraig Sat 10 Sep 2011, 10:07 pm

That man has the heart of a lion and breaks Federer to lead 6-5 and will serve for the match. Immense stuff.

by legendkillar Sat 10 Sep 2011, 10:08 pm

Djoko cranking that FH. The American crowd are retards. Can they not shut up during points??

by Jahu Sat 10 Sep 2011, 10:08 pm

Disastrous. Love Fed, but Djoko deserves this. So sorry for Fed, his time is passing slowly.

by Josiah Maiestas Sat 10 Sep 2011, 10:09 pm

Embarassing Fedster....5-3 up and you can't put away a 2/3 length forehand on a withering opponent??? This was quite a nasty way to finish...if it does finish..

by Mad for Chelsea Sat 10 Sep 2011, 10:09 pm

a match that has pretty much had everything: Federer at his imperious best in the first two sets, then Djokovic taking it up while Federer wilted, before the Swiss came roaring back in the fifth, only to choke at the death...

by CaledonianCraig Sat 10 Sep 2011, 10:09 pm

Deja vu anyone? Two match points saved as was the case last year. Spooky.
