Isner wins in good weather, but now the announcers are acting like he's a threat to win the title because he won 3 tiebreaks. I wouldn't be shocked if Murray whooped him in straight sets, a day before Murray gets whooped by Nadal in straight sets.

Tipsy/Joker has been infected with Nadal's disease. They've split the first two sets in tiebreaks and the time on court is already 2 hours and 28 minutes.

Murray v Federer final. Murray wins it.

..Shut up.

So far, so good. Isner looks gassed and he's only down a set and a break. I hope my Murray/Nadal prediction is incorrect though because I can't stand Rafa.

[IAceI]

I've told you, Murray's winning the whole thing.

I sorta saw this with Murray/Isner. A close first set and then Murray would turn the screw and look more comfortable as he progresses. People will have written him off after the Haase scare but Murray is looking solid, unfortunately that's all he ever seems to be. And when he gets to the bigger boys or someone on a hot streak eg Berdych, Del Potro, Tsonga, that's when he becomes unstuck.

Isner takers the third 6-3

Come on Murray don't put us through this again!

[Starvinho]

Murray wins!

7-5 6-4 3-6 7-6 (7-2)

[Starvinho]

Federer takes the first set against Djoko 6-7 (7-9) and he's 1-2 in the second after just breaking Djoko. I think I'll settle in for an evening of tennis now the footy has finished.

Federer takes the second set too 4-6.

Federer/Djokovic goign to a 5th set after Federer won the first two. Does Federer have anything left for a 5th? Hard to ever count him out.

[Katsuya]

This is crazy. The crowd are going wild, such an amazing end.

[naiwf]

This 5th set has been crazy good. The shot Djokovic hit down 15-40 to save his first match point may just have saved his tournament.

[METALMAN]

<3 Andy Murray.

I've never done one of those <3 things before.

Remember when the US Open crowd used to hate Djokovic? Yes, they are mostly pro-Federer but this has been one fun crowd. Heck of a match. Soak this in if you are a tennis fan. When again will be we get 3 guys dominate the sport like the way Federer, Nadal and Djokovic have done.

To be fair, Djokovic brought that on himself with all the fake injury timeouts whenever he was losing. I know he used to have breathing problems, but the guy used to milk timeouts for all they were worth. As soon as he stopped trying to play games, the crowd stopped hating on him. He'll never be as popular as Federer, but odds are that no one will ever be able to garner that kind of support ever again.

Djokovic is a beast.

This is the best decision he ever made. This was the night that changed it for him.

I hope Djokovic crushes whoever he plays in the Final now. How insane is it that Fed had never lost a 2 set lead at a major and now he's lost that way at two GS in a row?

[Starvinho]

What a match and Djoko proving what a Champion he really is too, hope Murray beats Nadal now but either way I don't hold much hope in them beating Djokovic in the final.

[Starvinho]

Murray two sets down 6-4 6-2 and I think I'm going to bed. If Murray comes back and wins this in 5 I'll eat my own head...

Nadal/Djokovic final ensures that 26 of the last 27 grand slam tournaments have been won by one of the Big 3.
