    Is it even a Serena final without her having a breakdown and making it all about her?

    Some of Fed's forehands in that tiebreaker were shit.

    Fed has been the better player over all 3 sets yet 2-1 down

    He can't let the next set go to a tiebreak.

    Federer is incredibly likeable, though. Tennis doesn't feel like a sport where countries are really represented. Like F1, it's more about the individual.

    If it goes to a tiebreak (which it will) unless Fed pulls it out here, then Djokovic has it.

    Bit of a shame it ended with Federer doing the quivalent of hitting a penalty 800 yards over the bar.

    No.

    Anderson/Isner last year was the final straw.

    Anderson going to the final on the back of a 7-6, 6-7, 6-7, 6-4, 26-24 semi-final just completely killed the final because he could barely move.

    They should leave the 12-12 tiebreak in for earlier rounds but just let them keep going in the final.

    I'm all for the tie-breaks and 12-12 seems a decent point to decide that anything after that is retarded and we should really stop now.

    Federer had his chances and he didn't take them, which was a real shame.

    Djok Mental strength of a lion/bear/giraffe.

    Four off Federer's slam total now. I think he'll match it (but Federer could still win more...)

    Djokovic booted out of the US Open for striking a ball in anger and (accidentally) hitting a line judge in the throat.

    Must be all the gluten in his diet.

    By the sounds of it he had a massive sulky game, fell over and then chimped again.

    ATP Finals have started today and finish next Sunday. The first singles match in a few minutes should be good - Thiem v Tsitsipas.

    BBC have the afternoon singles each day (~2pm) as well as the final. Amazon have everything.

    Oh yeah, and it sounds like it totally worked if Becker was really going home saying Agassi was reading his mind.

    Murray was superb fighting back yesterday. I wish his hip hadn't fucked him as he's a joy at times.

    Really turned it around after the 3rd set, managed to unlock any stiffness and get into a rhythm which looked like his old best. Hope it can continue a bit longer.

    It kind of winds me up that, of the top players in this era, he's the one that got seriously crocked. I know Nadal and Federer's had injury problems but not to the tune of taking years out of the game. Speaking of which, Serena Williams is done.

    Del Potro would have a few more as well, you'd think.
