Australian Open Final: Rafael Nadal (9) v Roger Federer (17)

[britbox]

It's not over!

 

[Moxie]

That's a shot that the old Rafa wouldn't have missed.

 

[Vince Evert]

It's over, It's over, IT's OOOO_O-VER.... IT's OOOOOOOVVVER !!! BS it is LOL...

 

[shawnbm]

You're right bb--unexpected from Roger there

 

[britbox]

I've seen him a lot tighter T.

 

[Moxie]

You're right about that, BB. This is not especially tight, v. Nadal.

 

[shawnbm]

Roger is not getting into Nadal service games of late.

 

[britbox]

One plus that might help Fed is that this hasn't been a war of attrition and he's still got his legs.

 

[mrzz]

but the number of easy misses is a record

 

[DarthFed]

I disagree, this is near top of the list

 

[shawnbm]

He's cruising on serve now

 

[Moxie]

Nice solid hold. Are we going 5?

 

[Vince Evert]

Nadal holds. I told you at the start it would be a BARNBURNER...

 

[DarthFed]

You guys will see once Roger loses the 5th in 20 minutes

 

[Moxie]

Peppermint tea or scotch...at this juncture?

 

[Vince Evert]

how different from the ladies final. Jeeez...

 

[mrzz]

sure we will. just hope Federer holds here to force Nadal serve it out

 

[DarthFed]

Repeat of 2009 only more pathetic

 

[shawnbm]

Yes, moxie and I concur with twisted.

 

[britbox]

It wouldn't surprise me if he did lose in 5 in the slightest.
