Watching Federer is like having sex with my girlfriend, she's beautiful but I don't understand why she hurts me so much.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Good lord that was harder than it initially seemed. Please Baby Fed, beat Nadal. I'm not liking Fed's odds against him at all.

Yes several years before Nadal debuted and a year before Federer won a grand slam.

If the finals are Williams sisters and Fed vs. Nadal it will probably be the most hyped-up close to a grand slam ever.

Federer didn't look good vs Wawrinka (and in patches against Nishikori) and there's got to be an almost 0% chance Venus actually beats Serena.
I'm not saying I disagree, I'm just saying at least the Womens final is going to be predictable as, while the Mens could be a bloodbath depending on who shows up and for how long.

Mmm. Real tennis. Rushing the net, and not using your doped up stamina to slug it from the baseline for 69 vollies.

Phwoar imagine Big Rog in his prime on courts that fast. He'd have won literally every single point on his own serve.

Man, tennis is weirdly quiet without bogans yelling poo poo out right as the players are about to serve

When a man lies he murders some part of the world. These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives. All this I cannot bear to witness any longer. Cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home?

Well if this keeps up we're getting a Fedal final which means Federer is getting another rear end kicking. I don't really wanna drink that early on a Sunday so that'll be a hard match to watch.

Dimitrov showing some steel there. He should have won that set like twenty minutes ago but didn't get disheartened.

Huh, didn't know they re-string rackets mid-match. Thought they'd have a heap of spares.

Federer notably carries a million rackets that are pre-strung, and Rafa notably uses the on-site stringers.

Outside the first set Nadal's looked so beatable that I'm starting to think Federer might have a chance if Rafa survives this. But I'll be really disappointed for Dimitrov cause I feel like he's been the better player here overall. Hopefully he can pull out the win.

So this match is just nuts. Dimitrov's forehand down the line to save break point was amazing. How he recovered from that slip and the lob over his head to win the point was insane.
