On phone and can't embolden the bit about seeming a nicer person off court but how do you come to that conclusion?? Most of the top tennis lads all seem like spot on lads of the court - yep even Murray. The only one who didn't imo was Nadal but for all I know he probably was/is a top lad as well just never seen any articles or pieces about him to back it up

Anyway, just don't think Djok gets the credit he deserves, not just on here but in the media too as the whole hype around the game will centre on Fed again imo when let's not forget Djok came on the scene when both Fed and Nadal where at the peak of their careers and still beat them

Hopefully it's another win leading on to another major for Djok, he'll be catching yer boy soon enough

You make it sound like he came in and knocked them off the top and has been #1 ever since...

There is 6 years between Fed and Novak...... in tennis thats a huge gap. Fed dominated Novak when he first came on tour .... it was pretty even in the middle and now Novak is dominating an old Fed.

As for Nadal.... its pretty even. In GS finals its 4-3 in Nadal fav and 9-4 in all GS matches. Nadal has been injured for the best part of 2 years....

Novak will never get the love that Nadal or Fed gets... His style of play is efficient but not that exciting.

Was only following on live score and bbc reports as thought they'd have on their website :/ but I hear Djok was sensational especially in first two sets

Edit flash scores

Very disappointing, game over

Already looking bad for Roger-down a break and Djokovic is playin like a man possessed.
Still long way to go.
C'mon Fed.

His last fond wish had been fulfilled to lie in his native land,and the wild waves roll in peace again on the lonely Banna Strand.

It's a shame today's match is the semi it's more than good enough to be the final but sure Fed would have to beat him at some stage anyway to win just tougher this way.

Should be a cracking match, Hon Fed! 🎾🎾🎾

Serena destroyed Radwanska in the first, who makes a fight of it in the 2nd set but Serena serves 3 aces in final game to win it in 2 sets. Would ye though?

"I called him an embarrassment to FIFA and to himself," .... He said 'No-one speaks to me like that'.... and I said, "well I do' and that was that."

I am sure Konta is a lovely girl, but please let her be hammered, I can't take any more fawning over someone who is as British as Saoirse Ronan.
