French Open 2015 Day 13 - Let's get ready to mumble....

First topic message reminder :

....to ourselves in Murray-like fashion.

Can you get a bathroom TV!?

Not that I know of

Well, I've missed most of this while I was travelling home but I see Novak managed to get to the end of the third without facing a break point... and then loses serve on the first one he faces. Why must it be this painful?

So, does this have a McEnroe v Lendl 84 feel about it?

Getting dark pretty quickly.

Yes, I can confirm that T21 is ridiculously biased against cheese-head posters.

last player to take a set off Djokovic..anyone?

It was about 10 matches ago
at Rome he lost sets a few times, I'll forgive him, for the draw he had

Novak would have to blow up Mcenroe style for that

Entirely possible.

I'm sure the moderator will make sure not to see this.

It was almost too routine for Novak. Took his foot off the gas.

Here comes a breadstick or bagel.

Is now a good time to mention that Novak has deciding set bagels the last 2 matches against Andy?

Likely, but he still wont give up

come on Andy, go go goooooo

If Andy takes the 4'th set, Djoko will choke, possible MTO as last resort cheat.

Come on!!!

hahahaah, Welcome to the Club, though mind the sword

Good game from Murray, it would've been easy to capitulate there.

I wonder what LK would think of this?

wow 1-1 from 0-40. Never surrender

At least Novak knows he's in a match now.

To borrow from Jahu, goooooo gooooo Andy!

I'm calling it now.

Andy takes the 4th but they have to play the 5th tomorrow. Andy takes the one set shoot out.

I weep.

Muzza breaks to lead 2-1 in the fourth set.

Andy you dog.. you TOTAL warrior. This could go into tomorrow now, which means hell lose but...

Andy breaks! Can Novak remain calm? He must be in all sorts of turmoil right now.

I made that prediction before Andy broke, too!

I'm bailing out now.

Consolidate the break.

C'mon Andy you've got him on the run!

Got lucky there.

Break points:

Novak 3/12
Andy 2/2

BP conversion is the biggest difference to 2011 Novak.

No keep watching HMM. I think you might be Andy's lucky charm.

Good grief, I really feel for you

But two break-back points here...

Shucks! That didn't last long. Still level pegging.

Great serving from Novak.

still not giving up

Must help Novak that, whatever happens, he can't lose tonight.

Net touch! Net touch!

Or maybe not....

Has anyone else noticed that Novak's hairdo makes his head look like a microphone? Just saying.....

10 mins for the weather warning. Djoko needs this break

oh missed the second serve return!

Hell still win, but hell make Novaks job much harder if he comes back Saturday

Here he comes, and theyre stopping for a storm warning.
That massive hold has just held Novak back a day

Massive hold! Novak's BP conversion starting to look Federeresque.

Stopping.

Crucial hold for Andy and that is it for today as they are hauled off.

Tremendous fight from Murray. I thought he would capitulate in straight sets, but, mentally, he is so much tougher than a couple of years ago.

I think Wawrinka will be the one most glad of this match going into Saturday!
