Ugh. i want to puke. I think i'm going go home. haha

Milos better play out of his mind. Prob one of his only chances to make a 2nd grand slam final.

For this reverse jinx, you will be punished with Isner-Anderson. So hope you enjoy that.

Impressive from Anderson. That's a lot of psychological mettle he showed there.



With all these big servers left, I'm definitely in Nadal's corner the rest of the way.

My bad (but I'm hoping it will be Raonic - Anderson).

[CedarMeter]

Poop.

Yup, Milos is gonna win 6-0, 6-0, 6-0 without dropping a point.

DelPo about to even up that match. Organizers on suicide watch if they lose Fed and Nadal on the same day.

The organizers might leave and go watch England at this rate.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Or DelPo chokes it away. Pity, he probably gets rolled now.

[dash_pinched]

I wonder what kind of live odds were available for Anderson at the start of the 3rd set. It was probably along the same lines as Leicester winning the Premier League a few years ago.

And England loses today to Croatia. It will be Black Sunday in London. with a 120% forecast of rain and fog.

[GirlySports]

before the match Anderson was 11/1, At 2 sets down, it must have been over 100.

I'm trying to find a live chart because you got me curious now

[Senator Clay Davis]

Isner-Raonic off to a remarkably anti-tennis start. Might get 100 aces combined today.

I Feel as though this will be decided be whoever asserts themselves at the net more effectively. The door is officially wide open for Milos to make his return to the finals once again with Federer losing.....this could be a huge motivating factor for the Canadian.

I don't care how he does it, Milos just needs to find a way to get to the semis against Anderson.

[Senator Clay Davis]

I mean these guys should be playing to tee off on the other's serve, just go for broke every return point. Why not? 95% likely you're in a tiebreak either way, but hit a couple huge winners and maybe steal a break.

[CorsiHockeyLeague]

Yeah, I agree. Start guessing.

Holy ####, DelPo came back from 1-4 down in the tiebreak. Amazing.

[Senator Clay Davis]

If nothing else for as awful as this is to watch, it moves pretty quickly.

[CorsiHockeyLeague]

Yeah, you know it's bad when the only thing to talk about is where the frackin' sun is coming from. Heyyyy there's a good return from Isner.
