tomic getting opportunities to deal more and more slop.

meltdown for berdych imminent. lol.

 

[bksballer89]

Another break chance.

 

[bksballer89]

Andersen has not been able to get into the point on any of his break chances

 

[cezero]

looking at the score, looks like nadal is off to one of his notorious slow starts

just a matter of time

 

[cezero]

lol

berdych complaining about tomic jumping around to return serve

this is going to get hilarious

 

[bksballer89]

If he doesn't break Rafa here with all these break chances, I almost expect Rafa to break Anderson to win the set 7-5

 

[cezero]

as usual, rafa starts a little slow, gives an opponent hope, and then ruthlessly crushes him, and the first set's over before you know it.

the next 2 should be much quicker.

 

[bksballer89]

That set was over when Anderson dropped 4 or 5 break point chances on Rafa's last service game

 

[cezero]

yeesh, rafa's first set included how many UFE?

that's unreal for him, even when he starts slow.

 

[bksballer89]

Tomic is in trouble on his serve now

 

[cezero]

tomic just saved 3 break points to stay on serve in the 2nd set

great match

part of the fun is watching berdych try to keep his composure dealing with tomic's slicey/sloppy play, and the crowd being c$#ts.

 

[bksballer89]

Huge hold for Tomic down Love-40 4 all in the 2nd set

 

[bksballer89]

BTW the weather in Australia has been wonderful for the players. I don't think it is hitting 70 today.

The US Open a few months ago had much hotter days which isn't usually the case

 

[bksballer89]

Yep Rafa is about to run away with this.

Broke Anderson again.

It is over

 

[bksballer89]

I wish ESPN2 would switch to the Tomic match so I don't have to watch it on my laptop anymore

 

[cezero]

berdych melting like a popsicle

 

[cezero]

see what i meant about tomic never hitting the same type of shot more than 2 times in a row?

all of the different slices and paces tomic is throwing at him are driving him crazy, as I expected.

 

[cezero]

i don't even like Tomic, but i'd like to see this go 4 or 5

 

[bksballer89]

Tomic in trouble.

Thinking about taking a nap and setting my alarm for 530 or so to catch some of the murray match

 

[bksballer89]

These matches today were all disappointing.

Can't believe Tomic is going out in straights
