Can't believe I'm missing this game! Sometimes work is really a kick in the bollocks. Painful having to follow the score on BBC which only refreshes every game rather than point.

Thanks mate but the computer I'm on is far too slow for the official site. Keeps stalling and making everything else crash so I have to put up with BBC for newsfeeds until the end of each set when I run down to the lobby and watch.

djokovic doesn't look bothered in this set

Something not right about him.

He's a fearsome competitor (reminds me of Lendl with his steely unbreakable resolve) but hes not looking happy at the moment.

Well, that set was a bit of an anti-climax. Nadal takes it 6-1.

Why bother with hawk eye if they aren't going to use it?

Usually the ball leaves a mark, so they dont really use it here.

One more Rafa!

Time violation. New rule introduced at the start of this season/tour.

Well I say new rule, they just reduced the time allowed between points to 25 seconds. Nadal is a repeat offender with his stupid bouncing ball between serves!

incredible...what a rally

gaztop08 · « **Reply #252 on:** June 7, 2013, 02:42:59 pm »

Novak digging deep, holds serve

TheShanklyGates · « **Reply #254 on:** June 7, 2013, 02:58:58 pm »

Nadal breaks! Hes two games away from the final.

TheShanklyGates · « **Reply #256 on:** June 7, 2013, 03:03:39 pm »

Djokovic breaks straight back! Couple of unbelievable returns in that game.

TheShanklyGates · « **Reply #257 on:** June 7, 2013, 03:16:29 pm »

Nadal breaks! He'll serve for the match.

TheShanklyGates · « **Reply #258 on:** June 7, 2013, 03:22:17 pm »

Djokovic breaks back again! This man just will not give up.

4th set tie break.

TheShanklyGates · « **Reply #260 on:** June 7, 2013, 03:27:40 pm »

Nadal to serve next

TheShanklyGates · « **Reply #262 on:** June 7, 2013, 03:31:20 pm »

Unreal from Djokovic. You have to make him the favourite now.

rusty-la · « **Reply #263 on:** June 7, 2013, 03:32:11 pm »

It's going to a fifth set

Time to uncork the Sancerre, head out to the sun terrace and enjoy

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #267 on:** June 7, 2013, 03:46:56 pm »

Fair do's to Djokovic, he is an unbelievable competitor.

Trie them both out for Sunday for my Ferrer 33/1 bet to come in please (I know I have zero chance of this happening!).

rusty-la · « **Reply #268 on:** June 7, 2013, 03:49:25 pm »

It's brutal out there, both exchanging heavy shots....

For those unable to get to a TV, the Sancerre is quiet chilled.

TheShanklyGates · « **Reply #269 on:** June 7, 2013, 04:03:00 pm »

Massive hold from Nadal.

You feel its now or never for Nadal. Hes had so many chances this game.

TheShanklyGates · « **Reply #274 on:** June 7, 2013, 04:20:16 pm »

Nadal gets the break back! This is absolutely incredible.
