Yes a good effort from Safarova and it's turning into a very good final now.

 

[Master D]

24 Slam finals and 20 victories. What a champ.

Well done SteKrazy, won the dream team as we both have only Djokovic left. Beat me by 3 points, if only Murray hadn't collapsed completely in the 5th set I think I'd have sneaked it!

Looked like it was going to be a routine win for Serena but Safarova has just come back from 4-1 down to force a deciding set.

Seems to be a bit of a pattern for Serena in her last 3 matches (maybe the illness was cause some issues) - came out a strong winner in the decider.

Could we see Williams and Djokovic win all 4 Grand Slams this year?

Well done Krazy. I'll be looking to regain my title at Wimbledon.

Cheers guys, 100% down to pure beginners luck.

Looking at the teams I'm guessing I wasn't the only one who didn't give Wawrinka a second thought? Never even crossed my mind that he would get to the final.

I did consider him but with the money he cost, it seemed more prudent to go for Federer or Berdych as I fancied one at least to reach to the final. Just shows you beyond Djokovic, it's quite open at the moment.

Wimbledon will be interesting as you get your players who shine once a year turn up. Everyone will have Lisicki.

Not a bad first set but Djokovic takes it 6-4

 

[Super_horns]

1-1 set all.

I was going to have Stan but he was in bad form....

 

[DarkSithLord]

2-1 to Stan!! Go on Lad!

 

[The Iron]

Wawrinka is unplayable at the moment, but i'd be surprised if his level of play remains as high in the 4th set as it was in the 3rd set.

 

[Munkiki]

This is where he chokes.

edit: Or not?

Wawrinka playing really well. Going to be heart-breaking when he loses.

 

[SALTIRE]

What a rally!

 

[Master D]

Putting Djokovic away is the hardest feat in tennis. Loads more work for Stan to do if he's going to finish him.

Absolutely but Djokovic definitely looks fatigued and Stan is good for five sets.

 

[The Iron]

I don't think Djokovic has got much energy left considering he played yesterday and Wawrinka had a few days rest.

 

[Master D]

Djokovic has endless energy, don't worry about that. Fucking clutch hold just then. He isn't going anywhere fast.

 

[SALTIRE]

Great game theee from both. Djokovic is trying to raise his game again.

Stan is no bottler though even if Djokovic wins this set he'll give it his all in the fifth.

 

[Munkiki]

40-0 down on his serve. It'll take some doing saving this set.

 

[Munkiki]

Incredible hold.

 

[SALTIRE]

Genius hold from Stan there!

 

[The Iron]

Excellent hold from Wawrinka and he saved the 3 break points very well.

 

[Master D]

What a save from Stan under massive pressure.

 

[Munkiki]

He's playing some sensational tennis here.

 

[This Charming Mike]

Wow. Stan's serving for the championship. Absolutely deserves to be, too.

 

[Munkiki]

Stan!!

 

[DarkSithLord]

WOW. Incredible.
