going for way too much there, epic game, if Djoko takes it he wins the match i think.

Does it with some great counterpunching.
er...15-40 Djoko allowing Stan back in.
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 30 January 2015 11:04 (nine years ago) link
omg...crazy awful game from D
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 30 January 2015 11:05 (nine years ago) link
this is such a pain to watch: 0-40 with anemic play.
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 30 January 2015 11:08 (nine years ago) link
and then goes to play awesome shots for game point.
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 30 January 2015 11:11 (nine years ago) link
2-2. The circus is in town.
Stan now up a level. 3 awesome winners, now he has 3 BPs on Djokovic's serve.
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 30 January 2015 11:21 (nine years ago) link
Incredible, someone flicked a switch. Breaks.
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 30 January 2015 11:22 (nine years ago) link
Stan to serve for the set.
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 30 January 2015 11:29 (nine years ago) link
this is even worse than yesterday's match
― groovemaaan, Friday, 30 January 2015 11:30 (nine years ago) link
2x SPs Stan
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 30 January 2015 11:33 (nine years ago) link
Totally unsurprised this is going five
Why is Nole netting everything
― lex pretend, Friday, 30 January 2015 11:33 (nine years ago) link
Into a 5th we go, really Stan played a flawless 10 mins to get us into that.
Not only is Djoko breaking down but then there are all weird looks between him and his box. Becker is wrecking it.
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 30 January 2015 11:35 (nine years ago) link
omg, that was huge
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 30 January 2015 11:41 (nine years ago) link
BP
And stan finally hits one long: back to deuce
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 30 January 2015 11:42 (nine years ago) link
All chaos with the line judges.
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 30 January 2015 11:44 (nine years ago) link
Djoko just hangs on but I can't see Stan keeping this up
2 DFs Stan - and so its two BPs
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 30 January 2015 11:46 (nine years ago) link
a break it is, but hey it was like this in the 4th.
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 30 January 2015 11:48 (nine years ago) link
Holds himself well: 3-0
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 30 January 2015 11:51 (nine years ago) link
0-30, v close to being over..
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 30 January 2015 11:54 (nine years ago) link
another BP, surely MP D
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 30 January 2015 11:57 (nine years ago) link
4-0, bollocks.
right I'm off - Murray is favourite if D turns up like this.
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 30 January 2015 11:58 (nine years ago) link
Well that fifth set wasn't like their others here
― lex pretend, Friday, 30 January 2015 12:13 (nine years ago) link
At the other end of the scale to all this, Michelle Larcher de Brito skipped AO qualifying to be top seed in three US 25Ks. She went R1, R1, R2, losing to #279 Samantha Crawford, #246 Elise Mertens and #303 Ipek Soylu, all in straight sets. Silver lining, she did beat unranked WC Sofia Kenin at the last of those.

watching some of the djoko/stan replay -- stans hold to get to 2-2 in the 4th was so sick
― johnny crunch, Saturday, 31 January 2015 03:22 (nine years ago) link
1 1/4 hrs to kill in Paris airport. Get it done and dusted in that time Serena.
― lex pretend, Saturday, 31 January 2015 08:44 (nine years ago) link
Ma$ha DF on the first BP. Here we go
― lex pretend, Saturday, 31 January 2015 08:52 (nine years ago) link
The dropshot is Maria's most successful tactic so far
― lex pretend, Saturday, 31 January 2015 09:05 (nine years ago) link
This rain is going to fuck up the perfect timing of my day, I have to board a plane in 50 mins!
― lex pretend, Saturday, 31 January 2015 09:10 (nine years ago) link
Serena storms into a 5-2 lead on resumption, randomly flops serving for the set, no problem, just breaks to love to take it 6-3 anyway. No idea how serious her illness is but it seems to be making her more focused if anything.
― lex pretend, Saturday, 31 January 2015 09:33 (nine years ago) link
Sharapova hits a few winners to break back and get to 0-30. Serena easily snuffs this mini-peak out with serving.
― lex pretend, Saturday, 31 January 2015 09:52 (nine years ago) link
Stupid Serena, should've broken there. I have to board and I won't be able to see the end of this now -_-
― lex pretend, Saturday, 31 January 2015 09:59 (nine years ago) link
Ooh, not boarding yet. Serena has hit 10 aces in her last 4 service games. Break for the championship here please.
― lex pretend, Saturday, 31 January 2015 10:12 (nine years ago) link
Only seen the 2nd set but this hasn't been bad. Serena should win in the next few mins tho'.
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 31 January 2015 10:13 (nine years ago) link
0-15.
Do it for Lex Serena.
Pulling out gutsy 2nd serves..
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 31 January 2015 10:15 (nine years ago) link
DF: 30-30
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 31 January 2015 10:16 (nine years ago) link
Yeah the quality's been OK. Serena's illness seeme dto focus her.
― lex pretend, Saturday, 31 January 2015 10:16 (nine years ago) link
what defending from Serena: CP
Didn't know she was ill.
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 31 January 2015 10:17 (nine years ago) link
Incredible from Maria there, no surprises she went for the line and got it.
