Yeah? Well, I know which one I'll be watching --- it's the one that will involve the beat-down of a very arrogant Serb.

I found the answer to my question:
Quote:
This sort of thing has come up in the past with Djokovic.
He quit because of an infected blister on a toe while trailing Rafael Nadal in a 2007 Wimbledon semifinal. He also stopped after losing the first two sets of his 2006 French Open quarterfinal against Nadal, citing a back injury, and retired during his second-round match of the 2005 French Open.
At the Masters event at Monte Carlo, Monaco, in April, Djokovic quit while losing 6-3, 3-2 against Federer, then complained of dizziness and a sore throat.

Oh! And Federer is up right now, in the second set.

Grrrr....Roger looks like he might let this set slip away.

I usually don't mind John McEnroe, but I'm getting sick of him saying "A good opportunity for _______ to break here" when the score in a game is like 0-30.
I understand if it's 0-40 but it's annoying when any time the server is down a point or two early in a game McEnroe makes it seem like it's inevitable that he'll be broken.
And no, Roger isn't looking great right now.

Man, Djokovic is a knob.
The crowd should shut up, though.

Awesome to see Federer come back after losing that 2nd set to win in 4 sets and head to the final vs Nadal/Murray (Murray is currently up 1 set and serving 2-3 in the 2nd).
HA HA STUPID DORKOVIC! I am so glad that idiot is out. He's the only player on the men's side that I can't stand.
I think Federer will beat whoever wins between Nadal/Murray. Roger has looked determined all tournament.

What a great match between Murray-Nadal. Nice to see Murray get the win. Should be a good match tomorrow but I see Federer winning in 4 sets. Nadal is an amazing talent and perhaps the most fit player i've ever seen (Agassi being the other). Federer will break Sampras' record but Nadal may very well beat everyone. Easily the 2008 men's player of the year. On that note, go Federer tomorrow!

Serena Williams is playing Jankovic right now in the women's finals.
Williams won the first set, Jankovic is up a break at 5-4 in the second; serving for that set.
I don't think this one is on TV anywhere --- I'm watching online.

Can't wait for the Federer/Murray match today, luckily for me it's right after work, so I won't have to miss it.
Hard to know who to cheer for, I like them both, but I think I will have to say I want Roger to win.

Yeah, I'm glad it's not much earlier than 5pm EST. Yesterday's women's final was also at an odd time for a grand slam.
I think I'll cheer for Federer, just so he gets some redemption this. Otherwise I just hope it's an entertaining match.
