@gohusk, what are your thoughts on the Mens and Womens Finals.

What do you want to see, and what do you think will happen?

I haven't watched any of the mens play this year so I won't even hazard a guess. Have watched a lot of the women play though and hopefully this one lives up to the billing. They've both been playing really gutsy tennis. I thought Halep was going to be through after that marathon she got caught up in because there wouldn't be anything left in the tank but she just keeps powering through. I'm going with her but this should be a real good one.

Ok, I am live.

 

[nuraman00]

Wozniacki up 3-0.

Her shots seem to have a lot more clearance over the net than they used to.

 

[nuraman00]

Wozniacki didn't really have bad errors, but still got broken when serving for the set at 5-3.

 

[nuraman00]

Halep with several great swinging volleys in the first set.

Wozniacki with the slice serve across the middle in the penultimate set point.

She wins the first set in the tiebreak.

 

[nuraman00]

Wow, I've never heard an umpire so clearly speak into the phone and call for a trainer.

I didn't know the mics could pick that up.

 

[nuraman00]

Halep saves 7 break points and wins the 2nd set.

Going to the final set.

 

[nuraman00]

Wozniacki up 2-0.

She saves 6 break points.

One of her few long service games this match.

She finally gets broken. It's now 2-1.

 

[nuraman00]

Wozniacki broken and down 4-3 in the 3rd.

 

[nuraman00]

Wozniacki breaks back, then goes up 5-4.

Was watching the women's final and it was so refreshing to watch two players who don't scream like they are getting gang fucked with every swing of the racquet.

 

[Montalban]

Happy for Wozniacki. After the way she got treated by that punk McElroy she deserves something good.

Had to be crushing from Halep. Was up a break at 4-3 in the final set. Should really have 2 majors. Instead she still at 0 and Serena is back

sadly, the sex shrieks are what at least 50% of the women's tennis audience tunes in FOR

She still showed a lot of good play. I think she'll be back in position to win another one.

I'm happy for Wozniacki, having followed her since 2008. But her game is more susceptible to big hitters IMO.

Thinking if I should set my alarm and wake up for the match tonight or if I should just DVR it and get my normal sleep.

what time is Fed-Colic? More importantly should I watch and jeopardize Fed's 20th? I need some expert advice here.

Decided I'll DVR it and watch first thing in the morning. Can't risk the chance of Cilic having me wake up for no reason then lose in straight sets

Cool, thanks.
