And djok continues the tradition of having the worst smash in the atp

 

[Kristian]

Lovin this!

 

[John Dunbar]

djokovic managed to win that game so unfortunately those smashes won't qualify for his hall of fame.

 

[Lkr]

But your picture on my wall, it reminds me that its not so bad

 

[Niraj]

Those backhands

 

[John Dunbar]

wawrinka making things so hard for himself again. should have put that forehead away at 40-15 but here is deuce.

 

[lmbotiva]

Djokovic is talking to his imaginary friend again

 

[Kensuke]

Can't let Djokovic back into it, not when you have all the momentum. This is still not totally like the RG final, Wawrinka is making more mistakes and looks more vulnerable on serve.

 

[oti]

Wawa why Wawa.

 

[Kensuke]

So unnecessary. Wawrinka needs to start hitting some first serves.

 

[Speevy]

Damn it Stan you had this.

 

[John Dunbar]

that was inevitable. so shaky on his serve.

 

[Niraj]

So bad

 

[leng jai]

Wawrinka losing this set would be miraculous. Lazy slice error at 3-0 0-30 and terrible forehand put away at 3-1 40-15.

 

[John Dunbar]

i have a very bad feeling about this. i could see this running away from wawrinka.

 

[Niraj]

Stan really needs to get some free points somehow

edit: Like that lol

 

[Kensuke]

Good hold. Djokovic looks like he found his rhythm though. He's bringing more back and making less errors. Wawrinka has to keep hitting that first serve.

 

[John Dunbar]

tennis gods, please grant us sinners a sloppy service game.

 

[John Dunbar]

here we go again...

 

[Niraj]

Jesus Christ

 

[Kensuke]

Wawrinkla crumbling. Nooooo

 

[Omzz]

fuck u wawa

 

[Sax Russel]

y u do dis

 

[Niraj]

tennis gods, please grant us sinners a sloppy service game.

Should have specified the player

 

[John Dunbar]

Should have specified the player

i'm hoping they will give us two.

Stan is toast in the tie breaker if it gets there.

 

[Kensuke]

Wawrinka isn't hitting those winners anymore. It's gonna take something huge for him to regain momentum and take the set. Djokovic looks like he's settling in. Man, if only he could have kept the break.

 

[Niraj]

Yeah, don't like Stan in a tiebreak either. Has to hold and break.

 

[John Dunbar]

::

yeah, i think he has only won like one out of ten he has played against djokovic. pretty much has to hold and then break to win this set now. and djokovic does not look like he will be broken.

 

[Diprosalic]

now throw everything and the kitchen sink at that return Wawa.
it's not going to get easier.

 

[Speevy]

Break him Stan!!!!!

 

[John Dunbar]

if we look at the bright side, at least three competitive sets are more than we would have gotten from murray.

 

[Niraj]

Come on Stan!

 

[Kensuke]

holy shit. I shouldn't get excited.

 

[sam777]

Yessssss come on Stan

 

[Kensuke]

NO FUCKING WAY

HOW

YESSSSSSS

 

[Niraj]

YES

 

[Diprosalic]

WAWAWAWAWAWAWAWAWWAWAWAWAWAWAWAW



BELI3VE!!!!

 

[John Dunbar]

wawrinka you magnificent bastard.

 

[Speevy]

It's haapappppppppeeeennniiiiiiiiinnnnnngggggggggggggggg

 

[Omzz]

Yessssss dream is alive

 

[Kristian]

CMOON!

 

[Kensuke]

Still a looong way too go. It's not the dominance of the RG final, not even close. Could easily see this going to 5.

 

[Kotetsu534]

Can't say the tennis gods didn't help Stan out, with his multiple shanks in one point at Deuce and got away with them. But seriously, his defence and backhand down the line have been unreal tonight. I keep thinking he's going blow himself out and come to earth, but he's done this before, for three sets in a Slam final...

Djokovic really needs to catch on to the body serves. Stan keeps going for them on the Deuce side on big points and getting freebies.

 

[PhantomZone]

Stan set to end Novak's US Open reign :-D

 

[MIMIC]

Steadiness from Wawrinka and nerves from Novak on the big points have proved to be the difference in that set, too.

 

[John Dunbar]

just start with a hold and put some scoreboard pressure on djokovic.

 

[Kotetsu534]

Also, what's with Novak doing his best Murray impression and demanding more from his box? Not the guy to copy on court behavior from, I'd have thought.

 

[Kensuke]

Great start. Finally a great service game.
