What a horrible despicable crowd ! You just would not see that much hatred for a player in any other tournament across the world , Support Rafa by all means but the booing walking onto court is cringeworthy
Your feeding into Novaks hands , Heres hoping for a 5 setter :greengrin
Nadal breaks in the first game of the match which lasts 10 minutes!
I suspect we're going to be in for a long night!
Djokovic has brought this on himself for me. He was never too popular but his behaviour in Australia has changed a lot of people's views on him from complete ambivalence to outright hostililty.Quote:

3-0 second set.

Turning point?
18 minute marathon game eventually results in Djokovic winning his third game in a row to level at 3-3 in the second set.
Huge game and potentially a huge turning point in this match.

I fully expect ND to win from here on in
Nadal warned for the proverbial time wasting that he does , Stop picking your erse you fool
4 games in a row for Djokovic.
Nadal stops the rot and levels the second set at 4-4.
Love listening to McEnroe on the commentary. "Jesus, shut these guys up" when the crowd are calling out 😂
An hour ago I posted Nadal was 3-0 up in this set.
They've played 7 games in an hour! 😂
Djokovic takes the second set 6-4.
Brilliant from Djokovic to take set 2. Who knows what time this will finish.
2nd set Novak after being 3-0 down and 2 breaks down
I think I was being quite optimistic by saying midnight.Quote:

On holiday in Spain and just turned tv on. It’s midnight ffs 😂. This could go on for another hour or 2
