Watch your step here Berdych. I need under 39.5 games and you're starting to bottle it.
Federer dealt with Milos big serve well last night
remarkable how close Federer gets into recieve.
Djokovic absolutely fucked Ferrer up there. Hard to look past him to win the whole thing.
Federer-Murray should be a good semi nonetheless.
Easy draw so far for Murray so he goes in as favourite, I will be in camp Federer though. I agree that Djokovic is the one to beat.
Murray leading 5-3 in 1st set.
Federer so good in tie-breaks.Shaping up to be a decent match.
That back-hand>>>>.
I can't put my finger on it, but I really dislike Andy Murray for some reason.

I don't know. Personally I think Murray has far more personality than Federer or Nadal, who are both so dull. Murray's personality is one of a miserable Scot.
Good work from Murray to grind down Federer. Federer to just be a grass specialist from now on?
Djokovic v Murray final = the new school of tennis.
Come on Djokovic.
Murray definitely had the edge in schedule and rest, so I don't think Fed's just a specialist now, I think he just didn't have the elements in his favour last night. Go Djokovic!
what is it with the female tennis players and their grunting. It's bloody annoying. At least Li Na is as quiet as a mouse. Hope she wins it for the non-grunters.

THE KING OF MELBOURNE.
pity Murray was injured, might have made it a more interesting game
congrats to Djo, just the French to go for him. Be a Bit special to have 3x GS winners on the circuit simultaneously.
Murray is always injured when he loses.....
nice article on just how good Djo is in today's Press
Was it the one by Mark Reason? I thought he made some ridiculous statements, Djokovic is the best player ever? Just surpassing Nadal? Far far too early in his career to make those statements.
Federer is the greatest player ever. Nadal is the greatest clay court player ever.
Djok (and i love him) has a long way to go before he's in Federer's league.
thought Djo would win this morning. Felt this year would be his
No question that Nadal is the greatest clay court player of all time.
1 loss in 66 matches on the clay. Humungously impressive.
Still not as good as Federer. Anyone who thinks otherwise should read this:

The Fed Express has no one near him except for Borg.
enjoyed Agassi's autobiography, good read even if you are not a tennis fan
massive upset as Serena crashes.
Djok vs Fed
Approx 1:30 on ESPN
BIG big game.
Fed to make it 18
#GOAT
had a great chance to make it 18 this weekend given other results and injuries
Instead we will have a new champion on the Mens side, 2 in one year is good for the sport.

Seppi stuns Fed
Murray will crush the arrogant Aussie kid tomorrow.
Bye bye Nadal.
Nadal proving yet again he is nothing more than a sh*t overrated doping clay court bully. Absolute joke he is even talked about in the same breath as The G.O.A.T. (Federer) in some circles.
Laver, Borg, Federer true greats of the game. I used to follow the next tier down, Roscoe Tanner, John Newcombe. All good players.

What a load of junk. Federer got destroyed two rounds earlier by a far weaker opponent, Nadal was never likely to go well this tournament, hasn't played a top 10 player in months. Nadal is the best ever on clay but worth noting he also usually beats Federer on hard courts, and usually beats Federer in the big matches. And I'm not even a Nadal fan!
