Kyrgios on his rd of 16 match-up with Nadal: "with 14 grand slams between us it should be a good match" hahahaha I love this kid.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Now that's pretty endearing, unlike anything Tomic has ever said.

He can take it to 5 I think.

 

[cobl04]

Fuck, the Kerber-Sharapova game was awesome, but it came at the most inconvenient time.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Final game was tense.

Your boy has Rafa on the ropes.

 

[Hewson]

And he takes him down. Well done.

 

[bono_man2002]

Wow! He was playing some awesome tennis. I watched the first two and bit sets because it got to about 3am here and it looked like Nadal was stepping up and I thought he would win.

Way to go Kyrgios!

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Watched the first half of the first set and it was clear that Kyrgios' game on grass was a massive handful for Nadal, and Nadal's performances on grass in recent years have been quite under par. I always thought Kyrgios was a big chance but I didn't exactly expect a 4 set win!

In some ways he has already surpassed Tomic.

 

[cobl04]

I fucking fell asleep after the first set. And when I woke up he was being interviewed. So pissed off.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Ch 7 will probably replay the match about half a dozen times anyway.

 

[bono_man2002]

7Two replay tonight at 7:30.

And just in case you thought he couldn't be more of a sick cunt

[Vlad n U 2]

I can hear the sound of Tomic gradually descending into almost complete irrelevance right now.

[Vlad n U 2]

Dimitrov just sent Murray flying out in straight sets, boy oh boy.

 

[bono_man2002]

So he's back to being Scottish?

Djokovic match going on forever, looks like I'm gonna fall asleep before Nick comes on.

 

[bono_man2002]

Both men deserve this. Breathtaking final so far!

 

[youarenotimmune]

It's been great!

Come on Federer, let's get that 18th slam!

Yeah I like both players but it's hard not to cheer for Federer here. Looks like he's losing stream though.

Federer really needs to hold here, and then go all out to try and break Djokovic. Without a final set tiebreaker, the longer this goes on the greater Djokovic's chances of winning.

 

[youarenotimmune]

Fuck.

 

[cobl04]

It's gonna suck when Federer retires.

 

[BoMac]

 

[cobl04]

That's heavy.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I watched up until near the end of the 3rd set. Didn't keep going because I've seen enough of Federer v Djokovic and those other frequent matchups.

I guess Federer was always going to be teary eyed, as expected.

 

[nielsgov]

Gutted that Federer didn't win. I really don't want Nadal to win more Grand Slams than him.

 

[Hewson]

Spoiler

 

[BoMac]

Spectacular comeback by Federer last night, down two match points in the fourth set. Monfils looked dazed and confused in the fifth.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

No Federer, no Djokovic in the final, guaranteed new slam winner. Good for the game.
