Anyone watching the final? Djokovic is an absolute machine.

*actually they both are

[antipode]

all I know is my mum was watching it then I watched two episodes of the walking dead and she is still watching it

looong ting

[leyenda]

Nadal failing on the mental game. What's he doing so far behind the baseline?

[hutyluty]

djokovic is great! i reckon murray could have beaten nadal if he'd just got through that 5th set.

[leyenda]

Jesus, Nadal's just turned it up a notch.

[icanicant]

I dont really like him or nadal. They both play pretty boring tennis.

having said that the last game they just played was incredible

[icanicant]

awesome tie break. Reckon djokivic to really disappointingly cruise it in the last set

[leyenda]

Looking like Djokivic is starting to tire. Nadal has the momentum, I reckon he might have it now

[Duffman]

Such a good final, and god damnDjokovic's girlfriend


Nadal really should have won this set easily considering he was nearly 5-2 up.

[hutyluty]

Serving for the match! Must be about two in the mornin there

[Duffman]

As sad as I am to too see Nadal lose at least Murray wasn't in the final. So it's a good day for sport

The hostel staff kicked us out the tv room 10 mins before the end because it was 1.30 in the morning. What stnuc.

Both players were absolutely unbelievable in that. How does someone keep coming along who is even better than the last person?
Federer< Nadal< Djokovic

How do you know that its not as time goes on, the better ones get worse? You cant have someone be the best for ever, someone newer and better is always going to come along.

nadal's only 25 though, he's still at least as good as we was 2 years ago when we was winning everything

there is possibly an element of that. I would love to see Federer at his best play djokovic now.

6 Hours of tennis

Awards were a joke with the sponsors going on and on, and the players nearly fainting.

[parkour_nico]

Nah Federer will arguably always be the best player (since Fred Perry) - shot selection, actual stroke technique, not the typical power-based approach dominating the male game to the point of boredom.
Obviously age is a big factor in tennis and Federer is inevitably waining, subsequently as Djokovic is improving.
Both players have an unbelievably humbled demeanour and it is clear how much the sport means to them, through their dedication to INTENSE training programmes; both incredible players, but for me, consistency-wise, Federer edges it.

Cant wait for final tonight, hope it doesnt go on too long past my bedtime........
Murray got a big chance to finally nail one tonight, straight 50-50 i reckon
