I expected Djokovic in 3 but this is just sad.

 

[MIMIC]

A 6-1 masterclass

 

[rangersfan414]

Didn't even break a sweat.

 

[Saty]

Bring back Stan for a second try.

 

[qindarka]

Berdych breaks early on in the second.

 

[rangersfan414]

Hopefully same score as last time, except Nole is on the losing end!

 

[qindarka]

Berdych consolidates but I still can't see him giving Djokovic trouble here. Djokovic seems to give him so much trouble on his service games, is defending so well as usual.

 

[rangersfan414]

lovin the nadal commentary lol

 

[darkwing]

meh this is just a minor hiccup

 

[rangersfan414]

WOW at the smash return!

 

[qindarka]

Well done Berdych in this second set. I get the feeling he has been playing above his level though with Djokovic dipping slightly. Don't think he can keep this up. Djokovic still looks invincible and I would still back him to win this set.

Only a matter of time before Berdych cracks on his serve.

Update: He held again but again it seems he has to play so well just to win points on his serve.

 

[MIMIC]

God damn @ Berdych's girlfriend @_@

I already fixed it

 

[MIMIC]

Set point for Berdych after a marathon couple of pts

 

[rangersfan414]

Best 2 outta 3 now.

Lego Tommy!

 

[Akito]

Berdych not completely useless after all

 

[John Dunbar]

well held, but i feel the next two sets will be pretty easy for djokovic.

 

[Sax Russel]

Huh

 

[qindarka]

Clutchdych. I hope he proves me wrong and keeps this up. Some free points on his serve would be nice, he held 5 straight times but none were comfortable. Had to hit incredible winners to save BPs and can't rely on that.

 

[perfectchaos007]

I know Djokovic has an easier road to the final than the other two, but his slip ups in this round and the last may wear him out by the final

 

[clemenx]

Good for him to hold. I was expecting Tomas Almagro.

 

[rangersfan414]

Good for him to hold. I was expecting Tomas Almugro.

Fixed. xP

 

[John Dunbar]

the first serve is just fucked now.

 

[Sax Russel]

This is more like it!

 

[darkwing]

The dream is over

 

[MIMIC]

Novak really plays well after having to deal with some type of adversity.

After marathon match, he comes into the next one and steamrolls Berdych in the 1st set.
Now he's up 5-0 after dropping the 2nd set.

That's what I call regrouping.

 

[John Dunbar]

That's what I call regrouping.

actually, that's just berdych.

 

[MIMIC]

actually, that's just berdych.

Novak's mental toughness has been well on display the last couple of years. Fed and Nadal (as well as the rest of the tour) have seen it firsthand.

EDIT: And the 4th set's a-go!

 

[perfectchaos007]

Match point for Djokovic!

 

[Hours Left]

Great job Novak!

 

[Sax Russel]

Djokovic gives some great post match interviews

 

[MIMIC]

Novak

11th consecutive Major semi-final (2nd, behind Federer)

 

[qindarka]

Well done to Djokovic. Pretty routine in the end. Berdych had to redline to get a set.

Can't see Ferrer stopping him.

 

[Saty]

Novak

11th consecutive Major semi-final (2nd, behind Federer)

Didn't the Eurosport commentator say it was the 9th?

 

[qindarka]

Didn't the Eurosport commentator say it was the 9th?

It's 11. From Wimbledon 2010 up to now.

 

[Wes]

I can't call who is going to win the womens. Seems pretty open to me.

 

[Good Job Bob]

Why the fuck are you smiling Nico? Chump

Bye Almugro. Deserved just for your choke.

 

[Coldnoodle]

I can't call who is going to win the womens. Seems pretty open to me.

Serena. There.

 

[Globox_82]

I don't think Novak is in great form. Longer off season has affected him imo. He seems to play hot-cold and I am afraid that won't fly in the final against Roger. Mats said 9 SF, it's 11. But Mats 's "love" for Novak is well know and his "hate" for Roger as well.

 

[rangersfan414]

Serena. There.

She's definitely the favorite, but Sharapova isn't that big of an underdog (this is based off vegas odds).

And Azarenka has a shot but she's a pretty decent underdog right now.


EDIT: Shockingly to me, in Mens Novak is favored (obviously) but Murray has better odds to win it all than Roger. Besides those 3, Vegas thinks nobody else has a chance lol.

 

[Niraj]

Lol. There's something wrong with that guy.

Surprised Berdych got a set off Djoker, but not like it amounted to anything, as is typical with Berdych.

 

[Globox_82]

can't wait for tsonga vs Roger. Let's hope tsonga can take a set at least.

What do you mean? Wilander called Murray and Nadal "only really talented tennis players", while Djoker and Fedex are "superhuman" to him. Seems he loves both Djoker and Fedex.

I think he respect Novaks achivements, but I don't think he likes Novak. He said so many stupid shit about Novak through the years that one could write a book.

Like 9 straight SF. He knows it's 11th, with which he surpased Pete, Roger of course has 23 straight, Novak is now second of all time with 11. and after the match interview
http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/video/djokovic-happy-performance-162221845.html

Mats congratulates Novak for 9th staight SF, Novak a class act doesn't say anything, even if he knows its 11th. Don't believe me it's 11th http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novak_Djokovic scroll down. Started Wimbledon 2010

 

[PS3GamerKyle]

First real test for Federer. It's been pretty smooth sailing for him, but he's looked great.

I'm going to miss it tomorrow; definitely try to catch some post-game highlights. Tsonga is a good player, I really like him. But my love for Federer will always prevail

I think Roger in 3. He is serving unreal. Only Andy and Novak can break him atm. MAybe he takes a set but I think Roger is playing great. I hope tsonga can push him.....although tbh I haven't seen anything of Tsonga matches.

 

[Nemo]

ALMAGRO ACTUALLY LOST?!

Holy shit

ALMAGRO ACTUALLY LOST?!
