At least now I don't feel as bad about Milos getting handled by Federer yesterday.

For all the talk of upsets this year, the old guard have been taking everyone to the woodshed in London. Hopefully the semis will be more contentious!

Yea this was the worst wtf since I started watching tennis. It got good with the semis but then got even more disappointing. The lovely thing is this might have hosed Switzerland out of the Davis Cup as well.

Best moment was the game where McEnroe sat out a point to make it 1 vs. 2, then went round the other side of the net to make it 1 vs. 3.

FWIW, Australian Open's Youtube channel televised the wildcard matches: https://www.youtube.com/user/australianopentv/videos

Rio looks like a boring-rear end tournament and I'm mad that Tennis Channel are showing pretty much just that and Delray, and pretty much ignoring Marseille which looks really fun.

Serena pulling out with a "knee injury" before the semis, the exact same thing that Venus did in 2001 that lead to all the drama. :tinfoil:

Man Murray got whacked. I don't think I've ever seen him hit that many unforced errors in such a short amount of games. Djokovic looked to be moving and playing well but not that well. Hopefully Federer wins against Milos. I really like Federer/Djokovic matches.

Assuming you're not watching the NCAA tourney or Barcelona/Real Madrid, the Djokovic/Federer final at Indian Wells just started. Coverage on ESPN.

This has been such an up and down match. It's been pretty good in stretches but so weird in others.

Where I come from, there's no such thing as kryptonite.
Some big UFEs on Roger's last game to get broken for the championship.

Congrats Novak, you're putting together quite a long run at #1. He's basically the prototypical hardcourt death machine.
