I know right, I finally got around to watching the golden globes I had on the dvr after that Murray snoozer fest.

Ricky Gervais says "Come at me bro!"


Coverage finally starting.

I normally pull for the Jokester, but having Ferrer advance would bode well for, especially Fed but also Nadal.


Ah well, No-Joke will probably destroy this kid setting up for an AWESOME final.

Fed has done well against the joker, he's just got to get past Nadal who is definitely a mental block for Fed.

Very true. Nadal is 7-2 against Rodge in majors.

Fed has done well against Nadal lately, and the major w/l tally is hugely skewed by the french/clay surface.

Ferrer is skittering all around the court, don't know if he can keep this up for 5 sets.

Did this site just crash??

Ferrer going to have to WORK hard if he wants to stay in this. It's taking every part of his being to be down 4-6.

As I type, deuce on his serve in the 1st game of the 2nd.

Djokovic has blown so many break points its not even funny.

Ferrer has only had one service game where it wasn't up in the air or went to deuce it seems.

Ferrer is fighting extremely hard but he's been outplayed pretty soundly.

Site did go down, I was going to ask what did you think of that looping pin point corner lob Djokovic hit in the first game he broke Ferrer? I was stunned, never thought it was possible.

The thing that gets me is that No-Joke hits so many shots like that and by his face and swing you wouldn't even be able to tell it was an awesome shot. He just does everything with ease.

Don't count out Ferrer quite yet (yes I know it's early). He is really starting to find a rhythm.

your super slow mo returned, I saw it in the first set and rotfl. Djokovic looked so insane/rape face/scary(like I mean it was intense, frighteningly so), then they cut to Ferrer who was motorboating his lips

It's so dang stupid. They keep doing it and not to mention they make the players look less than flattering, they accomplish NOTHING by showing it.

Ferrer with the HUGE break point, sends this puppy into second break tie break.

He's not winning 3 straight.

Only question is if Djokovic lets off the pedal and allows Ferrer to take a set.

I wonder if Djokovic runs right through Murray as well. He just looks pretty dominant, even though he isn't playing his best. He's missed plenty of shots but is still well in control of the match.
