That shocking miss just about sums up Cilic's performance tonight.

Well played Novak but not the match I was hoping for. Was looking forward to a competitive decent match for some good tennis viewing after a hard day at work but Cilic was just crap tonight. Novak was great though too.

Novak wins, as he took couple of minutes less than Stan to complete the massacre. :laydownlaughing

p.s. Just kidding, real winner will be based on their H2H match (in case they both tie otherwise)

While I did not see the match, I managed to find an excuse; it looks like the Sore arm prevented him from serving well. :cover

Well his serve was crap tonight and he hasn't played in 3 weeks so he had no chance really. He has the 4th highest numbers of aces all season and served just one ace and first serve % was crap. Novak played great though but Cilic was just plain bad most of the time. If he's playing well he shouldn't lose a set by less than 6-3 or 6-4 really to most players with his big game but it was completely awol out there.

So who leads this group? Since Nole finished his match a couple minutes quicker, does he get the honours?:snigger

Novak's serve was broken. Was Stan's?

djokovic sneaks closer to ensnaring the year end no1 rank.

we thought in September djoko would have this no1 thing tied quickly as if it was a quota-quickie from the old days of cinema. but Federer made sure it was a long drawn out process..a bit like watching ben hur in one sitting without leaving the chair.

Good job Nole, I am pleased with his return and his forehand, the rest could use a bit of improvement. But for a first match, excellent indeed.:clap

Here he is analyzing his amazing FHs, return, positioning, sliding...etc...with Sky Sports
