World Tour Finals Day 2 - Nadal, Federer and Djokovic

First topic message reminder :

Tennis fans it is a marquee day today. I can't help but think what a jammy git Danny is to be able view both matches today and also CAS will be there later on when Federer and Djokovic lock horns.

Well today looks to be a bit special.

We have Nadal v Ferrer a rematch from Paris. Can the terrier sink his teeth into Nadal once again and produce another upset? Or will Nadal show up and inflict defeat number 21?

We then have for the main event Federer v Djokovic again another rematch from Paris. Can Roger at the tournament he has dominated Serbinate the Serbinator? Or will Djokovic crush the Swiss maestro.

The sad thing is I won't be able to watch either so a live commentary will be much appreciated and do feel free to discuss all things related to today's place.

Dodgy knees, dodgy backs, dodgy breathing, dodgy racquets. Anything dodgy goes. As the song goes if it is good enough for you, it's good enough for me

Thats it, punch it like there is.no tomorrow go.go go

Sublime service hold by Federer

One of best fake shots of Fed.

Go go go, get him out of the rythm

Here we are at deuce. Come on Fed

Djoko is folding like a cream cake.

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Ooooooh a BP!

Fed breaks! C'mon man!

ALLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Djoko cant stand on his feet.

Fed break up, go go go, or is Djoko playing his usual im out of sync, tired blla blla stuff he pulls so often, and then kicks ass?

Dont rush Fed, just chip it back

Djokovic with another BP

Not a DF!!

2 DF in a game. Not good.

Game over

Fed focus man focus

Take the break back!!!

Yesssss

But wait Djokovic has a gift for Federer 3 BP's! He breaks

WOW WHERE DID THAT COME FROM?!?!

If Fed ups his focus 10% he can beat him, Djoko looks spent.

It's just not the Fed of old. Decline and lack of confidence means we are unlikely to see that Fed again. Might win a tournament here and there, and I still haven't written another Slam off for him, but clearly this is nowhere near the same guy of 2004-7. It's areal shame, but there you go. Got to just appreciate the fact Fed still loves competing and every so often pulls off a great win or 2.

Saying that, He is a break up in second set Got to dig in now. No more silly lax service games.

Easyyyyy dont rushhhhh

STOP letting him back in!

Yesss 5:3

Federer hopefully can see this set out. Djokovic looks dead on his feet

TOO GOOD.

oh man 5:5

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Same crappy service game from Fed...  his serve has really gone awry in the last few years.  Used to be as solid as a rock, and now it just gives points away.

50% 1st serves in second set... that's just not how it was.

chip and charge!

Ah Fed Fed, set on your hands and you play silly.

Come on Fed! Sort it out.

Lets go Roger Lets go

Better.

Yeahhhhh

AAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!! GET IN THERE YA BEAUTY!!!
GO ON GRAMPS! yOU LEGEND

Third set will be quick 6:3 to any one

That doesnt make.much sense

What a response from djoko here.

What a waste of service

The issue is Fed can't serve like he used to so he is under pressure all the time. The players are attacking on his serve and it's paying dividends.

Take it backkkk

See if he doesent rush, he can keep up

djoko running away with it now

Fed will be in the Final

a double break... Novak stepped it up and itll take a miracle now for Fed

It doesn't help that the surface is so slow, but Fed just wasn't at the ;level required either.

Great last couple of serves from Fed there but the writings on the wall unfortunately. Shame to see a great on the decline and not be able to beat the top players anymore
