These linespeople need to be sacked.

Yeah, that call was disgracefully bad. No way they were paying intense attention.

i may be running for senatorship (thanks nio) but i'm no SUPERNICEDOG

Seeing as these two have never played a five set match, whoever wins this set will probably win in four. Looking like it will be Djokovic at this point. Good match, as expected.

Djokovic in 4. AGAIN.

GameFaqs....a place where people are friendly and nice to each other? You must live in a fantasy world.

If Nadal wins from here, I'd consider one of the best comebacks ever, unless Novak injures himself or something. For almost all of the last two sets, Djokovic has been dominating, and it's been getting easier and easier for him.

Nadal probably just missed his last chance to take back control of the match. :(

Nadal is poopy at Tennis.

HERE COMES THE RAIN!

Anyway we just hit the 4 hour mark in this match. But this match has had enough intense action to make it quite grueling for these two.

--
Dr voltchball - best in the world.

From 0-40 to winning 5 straight points. Damn, dat recovery.

Also, lol at Nadal signalling rain xD

god, it's nearly 8:00 AM. The whole Australian Open has crapped on my sleep schedule, but the final is going to utterly ruin it.

That game was amazing. Djokovic started with three ridiculous points and it seemed inevitable he'd go on to break (and then serve to win). But Nadal held firm and with huge forehands and serves held him off. Then it ends with a rain intervention! Wow.

am i crazy from sleep deprivation, or is jock-uh-vich not at all the correct way of pronouncing his name?

This is really nice lunchtime viewing.

Rain delay what is this.

Fascinating action from the ball boys squeegeeing the court. (That is what they're doing, right?)

Rain delay helped Djokovic regain his composure looks like.

--
Dr voltchball - best in the world.

Oh God we're in the insanely tense part of the match now.

FIFTH SET!

5TH SET LADS.

--
Dr voltchball - best in the world.

Wow. Nadal's fight is outrageous. If he wins this, the fourth set (88 minutes long, excluding the rain delay!) will be talked about for years to come.

Unless the fifth is better! Can't wait!

--

Prediction: Nadal wins the 5th set quite easily.

Great comeback to win that set.

Gap is closing on the top 3?

Who said that.

Novak went back to the black shirt.

Oh lordy. Rafael just does not know when to give up, does he?

There were so many moments in that set when I thought Novak had momentum and was going to grab the title... EPIC MATCH ALERT!

Did Djokovic just change his shirt again? Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy you do this to me?

F***ing augh.

The guru champ isn't such a SuperNiceDog, he made me change my sig!

I want every GS final to be like this for the rest of the year.

that would be quite nice. if the only 5 set, 5+ hour GS final this year is in the Open that most f***s over my sleep schedule, I will be none too happy.

Bad enough here in Aus where it is nearly 1 am. Got an early start tomorrow too. Didn't expect a 5 hour plus match.

I can imagine. It just takes 1/10th as much physical exertion for me to get there...

Well, I always felt like they had physically dropped off after playing a complete 1-set match, so... I honestly don't get how these guys are still standing.

cant believe he just missed that shot
