Australian Tennis Season INCLUDING Australian Open

Absorbing tennis, but it looks like an episode of Ready, Steady, Cook ...

Rafa breaks and leads the 2nd 4-2

[Johno6]

Rafa has hit some incredible shots this set

[dedja]

Would have been great if this was the final ...

Rafa now leads 5-2 in the 2nd.

[dedja]

FFS, can't tennis be played with fireworks in the background?

[dedja]

Rafa wins 6 of the last 7 games in the 2nd to take out the set.

One set all.

I fear the Fed may succumb again.

I know weak as piss.
At the cricket today there were cannons going off and no one held up play there.

[Jim05]

Nadal blows 3 break points early in 3rd

[dedja]

The Fed guts out a service game, with a little net cord luck to square the 3rd set at 1-1.

[Johno6]

Nadal looks a lot better than fed ATM
The way fed came out to start the match thought it was gonna be over in 3 sets

[dedja]

Yep, and is hanging on by his fingernails now ... Rafa is threatening to blow the match apart.

[Jim05]

Yep, and is hanging on by his fingernails now ... Rafa is threatening to blow the match apart.

Yeah but Federer can click at any time, starting to get his serve back to full speed

[dedja]

I get the feeling The Fed has to win this set, whilst Rafa could lose it and still come up trumps in 5.

Great to watch though ...

[dedja]

Jim has the midas touch today!

The Fed breaks and leads 4-3 in the 3rd with his serve to come.

[dedja]

and Rafa breaks straight back ...

[dedja]

5-5 and all back on serve ...

[Jim05]

Rafa needs to break. Reckon Federer will win the tiebreak

[dedja]

OK Jim, let's test your theory ... tie-break it is.

[dedja]

Rafa up 4-1 in the tie-break ...

[Jim05]

OK Jim, let's test your theory ... tie-break it is.

Scrap that theory
