I actually agree with you there. I am not a Murray fan, but I admit I felt sorry for him when Federer had the backing of most of the crowd in the match.

that was what annoyed me.

Fed Cup and Davis Cup both won by the Czech Republic. Icredible!

What a player Stepanek is! So old-school, yet so brilliant.

Probably his best game. Almagro and Czech pundits say it was the game of his life. In the countryy, it had a massive response. This tennis success is suddenly everywhere lol.

I absolutelylove his pairing with Leander Paes on the court. Both of them compliment each other a lot and i remember Radek was a well established singles player but then made the switch to doubles.

Amazing match between Wawrinka and Djokovic in the Australian open. A set down, Novak went from 5-1 down in the second set to win it 7-5.

12-10 in the final set, 5 hours of playing. Stunning. Reminded me of Federer's semi in the Olympics.

Djokovic, having beaten Stepanek, is now up to another Czech, Berdych. Could be interesting as well.

Reckon it'll be an easier game than today for Djoko, that is if he is not too exhausted by today's performance.

Stepanek is actually one of my favorite players. No one, and I mean one, plays like he does anymore. Everyone nowadays just smashes the ball, he beats his opponents with his mind.

Yeah, I think Berdych is worse when it comes to games with Novak. As for Stepanek, he is also a great, great entertainer. He plays for the fans and he knows how to fire them up.

I hate Tomic. Get the fuck out of my country you brat.

After wo sets, Djoko - Berdych 1-1

Djokovic only has himself to blame for loosing the second set, wasted a ton of break points.

Indeed. Let's see whether it will have any impact on the game. It was an important moment.

E: 3-0, probably not

Doesn't look to have affected the game much. Novak up 3-0 already in the third set.

It seems he was just saving energy, dammit

[Spike 12,049]

You'd think given my love for tennis I'd be watching the Australian Open. I wish a couple of good Australian players would appear.

Well, it seems like Djoko had a rest in the 2nd but is rolling on now.

Djokovic has a super alien body. How can someone play 5hrs and be in top form 48hrs later?

It is one thing to mentally prepare yourself for it (like in a final), and a whole other to be expecting an easy 2hrs game and still have to give 110%.

Just look at Simon, after his epic battle, he went to the hospital in the next match (vs Monfins).
