The grunting isn't restricted to the women either. Djokovic vs Ferrer in the QF's being a case in point.

I don't really mind who wins now. I'll probably want Nadal over Djokovic based on how much of a sooky la la Novak has been over the past 6 months or so, feigning injuries and breathing difficulties to excuse himself when he loses points.

Azarenka vs Sharapova could go either way. I don't have anything for or against either player, so let's just hope it's a decent match that goes to 3 sets.

I went to the Open 4 times this year. A membership might be worth looking into:

VIKKAAA!!!

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant!

God dammit.

Maria is much more physically attractive and personable than Vika, so she's probably leading a happier life in general. And that's all that really matters. So, she wins in the end.

Vlad n U 2 · 01-28-2012, 05:52 PM

She'd trade a lot of it for another grand slam.

cobl04 · 01-28-2012, 06:11 PM

Nadal in four.

Vlad n U 2 · 01-28-2012, 07:25 PM

Someone in 5.

That was an epic match. Both players are great and deserving of respect. I just wish Nadal didn't get tired towards the end.

DRay9911 · 01-29-2012, 08:47 AM

Managed to catch the last few points.

Wish I would have been able to see more.

Men's final was one of the best ever. That was all about the will and the heart. Seeing match enter the 5th set I really gave advantage to Rafa considering he had 1 more day of rest and a much less physical semi's than Novak. However, i am thrilled that Djoko found that last bit of strength in him and pull of an amazing win. I got tired just watching that - can't imagine how they felt after 6 hrs. of power hitting.

nielsgov · 01-29-2012, 01:21 PM

I watched a small part. It's a shame that I missed the final set.

bono_man2002 · 01-29-2012, 03:44 PM

I actually got bored with this match, and I think it had everything to do with Channel 7 commentary. If your in twitter land you gotta follow 'Not Bruce McAvaney' (more so the aussies in this thread) He's very funny.

cobl04 · 01-29-2012, 04:35 PM

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Vlad n U 2 · 01-29-2012, 10:33 PM

I watched until 2-2 in the fourth set tiebreak, it was amazing but I just could not stay up for any longer.

intedomine · 01-29-2012, 10:44 PM

Was a great final, but there are some nonsensical claims from commentators claiming it to be one of the best matches ever. Not sure about that. Nadal-Federer was a better Aus Open Final in my opinion, not to mention the Federer-Roddick, Nadal-Federer finals at Wimbledon and Federer-Del Potro at the US Open.

Saracene · 01-30-2012, 05:09 AM

I wish I could have stayed awake for mens' final but my whole Saturday was a write-off after staying up to watch Djokovic/Murray match.

Vlad n U 2 · 02-10-2012, 01:03 AM

Gonzo retires.

Vlad n U 2 · 03-09-2012, 09:48 PM

Indian Wells, anyone?

*crickets*

bono_man2002 · 03-10-2012, 01:32 AM

The lack of coverage on Pay TV = Fail. I think we usually get to see the semis and the final. Saw a bit of Roddick V Federer at Madison Square Garden, looked pretty cool. The other day.
