Muzza gets a pretty decent side of the draw.

Murray bullying him good and proper.

:haha: :bow:

[adzzzbatch]

As well as Andy is playing, I still can only see one winner if he were to meet Djokovic in the final.

[Master Splinter]

As well as Andy is playing, I still can only see one winner if he were to meet Djokovic in the final.

Tsonga could test him little bit tomorrow.

The 5 or so extra days rest he'll have had if he reaches the final could be such a huge bonus though. Or maybe it could hamper his rhythm.

[adzzzbatch]

Game, set and match Murray! 6-1, 6-2, 6-2

:bow: :bow: :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Murray destroys Dimitrov 6-1 6-2 6-2.

[Kano]

Novak through to the semi's after Tsonga retires :lol:

He was at least two sets to love down this time.

He'll face Monfils. So the Bot is into the final again.

[Goonermerree]

Murray is in a fight at the moment, one set all, and just been broken back in the third.

[Goonermerree]

Murray breaks for a 4-3 lead, can he hold it this time?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nishikori breaks, 3-1 in the fourth!

Muzza took the third 6-4.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[Goonermerree]

The Jap is playing out of his trainers at the moment.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nishikori takes the fourth set 6-1!

On to a fifth. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nishikori breaks and leads 1-0 in the fifth! :o

[Kano]

Muzza :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza getting battered.

[Kano]

Muzza breaks back!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Nishikori on Muzza's serve.

Muzza in meltdown mode.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a backhand up the line!

Nishikori breaks, leads 3-2.

40-15 to broken. :doh:

[Kano]

Oh ffs Andy

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza breaks back.

Nishikori was 40-0. :doh:

[Kano]

He absolutely threw that game away.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Is the umpire deaf coz she fucking speaks like she is.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Double fault from Muzza to give up break point!

[Kano]

Ah Jesus

[Kano]

What is going on with his first serve?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wow. :bow:

How did he reach that?!

Nishikori breaks and will serve for the match!

[Kano]

How did he get his racket onto that?!

[Xhaka Can’t]

Wow

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two match points! Muzza chucking it in.

[Kano]

Two match points

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nishikori wins 1-6 6-4 4-6 6-1 7-5! :bow:

Muzza did a Muzza.

[Kano]

Nishikori had the match of his life tonight.

All he needs to do now is reach the final and retire for Novak.

[Master Splinter]

That was woeful from Muzza. The breaks in set two completely ruined him. Played like a moran from then on. The last two guys he's lost to have been players he's historically and recently dominated. He concentrates better against the more dangerous guys.

Djokovic will probably stay world number one for another three years. Has Monfils pulled out yet?

[Kano]

I don't think he needs to worry about number one, just grab a couple of more slams before he starts to decline in the next couple of years. This was a great chance to ride on the momentum built but he blew it. He needs to win an Australian. If he ends his career having not won one of those after so many finals it would be ridiculous.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Serena lost. :lol:

[Kano]

6-3, 6-2 so far as Novak sleepwalks into the final.

Will be 3-3 in the third in a few quick points.

[Kano]

Hold on, Monfils breaks to lead 2-4!

Four games in a row now :lol:

[Kano]

2-5!

Surely can't be long until Monfils retires.

[Kano]

From 0-40 down Monfils takes the third set 6-2.

Every chance they both might die in this heat.

[Kano]

Monfils bent over after nearly every point now.

Yet still drags it back from 0-40 to deuce.

[Kano]

He holds for 1-1 in the fourth.

It looks brutal out there.

[Kano]

Botovic breaks to go 3-1 up.

[Kano]

Monfils breaks back!

2-3

[Kano]

Novak breaks this time, 4-2

[Kano]

Monfils had nothing left in him for this set and goes down.

6-3, 6-2, 3-6, 6-2

[Kano]

Nishikori 4-2 up in the first against Wawrinka.

[Kano]

He takes the first set 6-4.

Stan has been asleep for half of this set.

[Kano]

Stan broken again in the first game of the second set.

[Kano]

It didn't look like it at all when I went to bed but Wawrinka is in the final to face Djok.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pliskova vs Kerber is on now.

Muzza the elder won in the doubles with Soares.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kerber is up a break. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

On to a deciding set!

[Kano]

Not watching but any good?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kerber wins 6-3 4-6 6-4!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Not watching but any good?

Yeah it was alright.

[Master Splinter]

Kerber beats Pliskova 6-3 4-6 6-4 to win the US Open!!!

Kerber :bow:. Best in the world at what she does.

[Kano]

Wawrinka broken in his first service game in the final.

2-0 Novak

[Kano]

3-0

[Kano]

Stan breaks back, 4-5

[Kano]

[Kano]

[Kano]

Ridiculous

2-1 tie-break Novak serving

[Kano]

4-1

[Kano]

Djok takes the first set 7-6 (7-2)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stan up a break in the second.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Botovic breaks back.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a forehand up the line! Two set points for Stan.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stan takes it on the second of them! 6-4. :bow:

1-1.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stan saves two break points.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stan holds, had to save a third break point on the way.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Stan!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Serve and volley from Nole.

Cyborg needs repairs.

Stan breaks and leads 2-0 in the third set!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic is literally a wall apparently.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Unbelievable point.

Stan holds, 3-0. Had to save another break point on the way.

[Master Splinter]

Stan is playing at Roland Garros 2015 levels at the moment.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The Bot breaks back.

[Master Splinter]

Stan takes the third set 7-5!!

[Master Splinter]

It should be Dan Evans out there right now tbh.

[Master Splinter]

Stan breaks to go 2-0 up in the fourth!

[Master Splinter]

Wawrinka beats Djokovic 6-7 6-4 7-5 6-3 to win the US Open!!!

Stan :bow:.

Djokovic :lol:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stan. :bow:

Djokovic. :rose:

Needs repairs.

[Kano]

Bloody hell, didn't see that coming.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

I watched the first two sets and went to bed, even before the match i had a feeling Stan might win. Djokovic looked like he was having troubles physically even though he's played hardly any Tennis this tournament due to a walkover and two injury retirements in his matches.

But more than that, he's always had trouble with hard hitters from the back of the court.......it makes him hesitant....and like with the French Open final last year Wawrinka was able to play on that and hit some amazing clean winners.

The only surprising thing is that Stan has won three grand slams so late in his career, he's like the Ian Wright of Tennis....fair play to him
