Neither, unfortunately. I'm on dial-up right now, checking up on some things - then will watch the beginning on freeview, and then go to work. :( :badpc:

Go Rog indeed.
Novak is playing really well though. He hasn't dropped a set all tourny right?
Still 5-1 head to head and the way Roger was playing against Blake makes me hope and think he should take this one.
Gav - January 25, 2008 08:26 AM (GMT)
Morning Folks :D I'm up for this one... Hoping for a great match!
Scotsguy - January 25, 2008 08:27 AM (GMT)
I am very excited about this even if neither player is one of my favorites....

Instead of Norovirus, tell your boss you have Novak virus - and if you come in, you'll be forced to do terrible impressions of people all day - and click your pen 100000 times before using it ;)
I've got to do a lot of work - but will be keeping an eye on procedures!

:lmaao: i love it!!!
Ace - January 25, 2008 08:52 AM (GMT)
7-6 6-3 6-4 to Roger I say.
SaraLess - January 25, 2008 08:56 AM (GMT)
I am going for 7-5, 5-7, 6-4, 6-3 to Rog!!
C'mon Roger! (I am starting to sound like the Hewitt I always bemoan!)
Scotsguy - January 25, 2008 08:58 AM (GMT)
Fed's rushing it and he's looking a little off on his groundies, 2 BPs for Djoko.....one now.
Both saved :ok:
Ace - January 25, 2008 09:00 AM (GMT)
Rog saves the break points and takes the game. :D
SaraLess - January 25, 2008 09:06 AM (GMT)
Djokos backhand is looking a bit too good for comfort!
Dinky Jo - January 25, 2008 09:08 AM (GMT)
SaraLess - January 25, 2008 09:10 AM (GMT)
Woo-hoo!!
And Fed shoves my backhand comments right back at me, with a sublime BH from him!
Ace - January 25, 2008 09:12 AM (GMT)
Dinky Jo - January 25, 2008 09:15 AM (GMT)
and holds.....dear God Nole, please don't fall apart :unsure:
Scotsguy - January 25, 2008 09:23 AM (GMT)
and Raja hands it back to Nole on a plate.....
Ace - January 25, 2008 09:23 AM (GMT)
Fed is broken. Gave it away. :( :( :(
SaraLess - January 25, 2008 09:24 AM (GMT)
Gav - January 25, 2008 09:27 AM (GMT)
I am impressed that Djoko didn't cave in.
Come on Djoko!!!!!! Break him!!! Take this set!!!

yeah, I am too :ok:
tbh, I'd quite like Djoko to win this :blush: I just want someone else to win a slam for a change - I think it could well make the rest of the year more interesting :unsure:

You echo my thoughts exactly Jo.
SET POINT DJOKO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Scotsguy - January 25, 2008 09:31 AM (GMT)
Set point Nole, will he need another 7 though :rolleyes:
Guess not. Set Djoko 7-5 and we have a match on our hands.....
Gav - January 25, 2008 09:31 AM (GMT)
FIRST SET DJOKO 7-5!!!!!!!!!! :bow: :bow: :clap: :clap: :yahoo: :yahoo:

This is not very good. :(
SuperBRAT - January 25, 2008 09:36 AM (GMT)
Morning folks :)
I see Djoko has taken the 1st set :unsure: Have to say this isn't that great to watch, rather patchy, especially after yesterday's wonderful display of brilliant rallies and aggressive shotmaking, touch and falir!

question on the beeb:
"When was the last time a Grand Slam final was contested without either Nadal or Federer playing in it?"
that would be the AO 2005???? :)
Mo aka Mz O'Hara - January 25, 2008 09:39 AM (GMT)
Come on Djokovic :clap: :yahoo: :clap: :yahoo:

Its more without Federer playing in it.......only one Nadal was in that Fed wasn't was the French Open 2005 i think/.....
Scotsguy - January 25, 2008 09:45 AM (GMT)
Fed's teetering on the edge.....

the AO 2005 final was Hewitt vs. Safin wasn't it?? :unsure:
Scotsguy - January 25, 2008 09:46 AM (GMT)
You have to go back to RG 2004 to find 2 GS semis without Fed in it........
Break point for NoDjo
