Australian Open 2012 Day 14 - Men's Final

by Tenez Sun 29 Jan 2012, 8:07 am

Unfortunately, I have a match this morning so I won't be watching live.....but please leave your comments here....

For now I'll remind everybody what Djokovic thinks about it.

“There is no secret it is going to be physical again,” Djokovic said. “I will do my best to recover. I have a day and a half. I will try to get as much sleep and recovery program underway and hope for the best. I think that's going to be crucial, you know, for me to recover and to be able to perform my best, because Rafa is fit. He's been playing well. He had an extra day. He definitely wants to win this title.”

Could they extend the court to allow Nadal to receive deeper?

Tennis Australia would have to remove the large screen monitor that Murray had complained about. Laugh

Nadal in fully negative, anti-tennis moon balling mode.

He's unbelievably confident in his fitness.

by **laverfan** Sun 29 Jan 2012, 8:59 am

My those contact lenses are really good for challenges. Murray and Federer need to order a set each. Laugh
