Match day bump.

It's up to a whopping -550 Novak, Casper +410 at Fanduel; Novak -500, Casper +390 at DraftKings.

They're closing the roof, baws! I couldn't be happier it's so fricking humid. Now we get to watch a great match.

Wow, it's wild that a tournament that has been played in sun and wind for two weeks will finish that way.

Yeah, but it's supposed to rain and it's absolutely miserable humidity right now. Get your bets in on Joker before it gets worse!

Public service announcement for the thread. Tennis Channel said Tulane's tennis coach had a heart transplant and there is a GoFundMe. Looks like a he has an infant daughter. They said he is walking up to a mile now. Good for that baw.

Ruud breaks in Novak's first service game. 12 minute game that finishes with a chunked overhead from Novak.

Djok is going to wear him down. This isn’t sustainable for Ruud, but gluten free djok(wink wink) can go for ages

Novak looks horrible. He needs to pick his level up and get this record today.

I tend to agree. Casper isn't blasting winners, but he is thumping a heavy ball. I just don't think he can do this for four hours. He needs to pray Djoker gets elbow issues.

Idk what the tennis equivalent of great ball striking that they say in golf, but Rudd is hitting a great ball right now

He still gets tight in break points, and some of his moon ball attempts were weak af, but the dude came to play, atleast early on!

Def some of that too. I expect he’ll settle in eventually and wrestle away control, but this isn’t the Rudd who played Rafa and Carlos in the finals previously.

I know sometimes Novak will concede the first set but this is ridiculous.

Djok is in control. He may lose this set but would be shocked if he doesn’t win this

He understands it’s a marathon not a sprint. Ruud is going to punch himself out way too early

Back on serve even after he chunked another overhead. Great rally.
