Barclays ATP World Tour Finals - Day 5

[Denis]

I doubt he is seriously invested in this match.

Anyway, I hope Stan makes it. I also want Nadal to face Nole in the semis so I will not mind it too much if Rafa manages to end up second in his group.

 

[Kieran]

I think we'll have Rafa and Nole in the final, don't you? Even though there's many permutations, I expect that final...

It's probably going to be an all Swiss final...

Not on this surface. More likely if he gets Roger.

If Stan wins it, I'm okay with that

 

[Kieran]

Wouldn't that be nice! Fed v Stan, with Stan having the opportunity to finish the season as #1 Swiss player!

Would he deserve it though? :snigger

Not fully!

 

[Murat B.]

Now that I joked about that Swiss scenario...I see possibilities. Stan always plays Novak hard and comes up a bit short. Maybe this time ...And Roger has some chance against Rafa indoors, so maybe it CAN happen....

Maybe Stan will wear Novak out and Roger will breeze through the semis and final, licking his own face afterwards, as if it was chocolate!

 

[Murat B.]

David looks pretty motivated by the way. Good for him, not so good for Stan.

Wawrinka is looking better! Gets the break 4 -2

 

[Murat B.]

Couple of amazing backhand cross-courts from Stan and he gets the break. He can get his racket over the ball almost like a double hander. Amazing upper body strength.

 

[Denis]

Iron Stan? Lol, I wonder if he came up with that himself. Maybe he doesn't like the Stan the Man business.

 

[Denis]

Stan is smoking Ferrer.

 

[Denis]

But somehow manages to not serve it out....

5 - 4

 

[Murat B.]

Lame game there though. David breaks back.

 

[ClayDeath]

tight first set.

this is anybody's match at the current rate.

 

[Riotbeard]

Rafa ain't gonna tank nothin

...and I don't even like the guy.

 

[ClayDeath]

I believe that stan has the best single handed backhand in the business at the moment.

he has incredible spin and power off that wing. I also find it to be more consistent than gasquet's backhand.
