Haven't seen today's matches yet, but I think Querrey makes it to the Finals.

Fed in straights. Sets up Fed versus Cilic. Mugs versus Venus for the Ladies.

Have to think playing two 5 set matches this week finally took a toll on Sam.

Everyone must be pondering how Colic will match up against Federer in the final. Let's first see how he matches up with Berdych. Both are very tall Berdy Poo six-five and Colic is six-six. Both are 6-6 h2h. Both play right handed with double handed backhand. Berdy is 31 and Colic is 28. Both have big serves and forehands, and both have trouble bending at the knees. Colic's game is slightly better than Berdych's and he is three years younger. These are his only advantages, and his disadvantage is that he is still an inch taller than Berdych. But other than that very similar. Fed will look at a slightly upped version of Berdy Poo in the final. Hope he can win. He has a 6-1 h2h edge.

It was just a few points difference. He didn't seem tired, he was still running well.

Both have big serves and forehands, and both have trouble bending at the knees.

Does Cilic really have this problem?

 

[nuraman00]

Venus broken late to drop the first in the Finals.

Then she gets broken to open the 2nd set!

 

[nuraman00]

Venus down 2 breaks in the 2nd. She's lost 3 straight service games.

 

[nuraman00]

Why does this second set have to be so bad for Venus?

 

[nuraman00]

John McEnroe was so annoying during the Berdych match. Criticized him too much.

I don't think he's content. He's tried several different coaches the past 2+ years. He's getting different opinions.

He played a good match. Just a few points separated them.

He also didn't commit too many errors.

 

[nuraman00]

Did John McEnroe broadcast during the Australian Open?

I don't remember too many matches with a turnaround like that. Venus was outplaying Muguruza to 5-4, set point and then suddenly she lost the game and never won another game. I'm not even sure she had more than one game point in the second set.

Muguruza's a tough one to judge. She has a huge ceiling but almost never puts it together. It never would occur to someone who saw that second set that she only has four titles in 90 WTA tourneys. It's time that she adds some consistency and makes a serious run at #1.

Agree. I can't remember too many matches ever like this, from anyone.

 

[nuraman00]

The closest analogy to this Finals I can think of is a MLB game from 2015. A team had 0 runs entering the 9th, then scored 7 runs.

Yes, I know relief pitchers means there's a change in the opposition, unlike a tennis match where it's the same opponent.

But I'm just saying that type of close game that suddenly turns into a blowout.

Does Chris Evert broadcast any of the Mens matches?

She finally figured out her forehand. She needs more zip on her serve if she is going to go to the next level. I was surprised she did as well as she did. Didnt play well this year and was beat up.

This men's double finals is something else.

11-10 in the 5th set
