I see Mypremiumtv is working again (Sky stream) so I'll watch Rafa on that (until it goes down again)

Luke Jensen.

Look him up on google, then look at his singles record if you want a laugh.

Career record 12–43
Career titles 0
Highest ranking 168 (25-Jul-88)

Fantastic play from Andy, some great shots. Was so nervous on the tiebreaker as we know Isners results, how Andy held his nerve. Great win from Andy, so deserved. Sheer Brilliance.

Ah, the type we are all familiar with then. Failed tennis player who knows nothing and thinks he knows everything.

Loved that he kept making comments about the sun every time John was serving on that side. Hasn't he realized that they change sides every 2 games? Andy had to serve there too but had no problems with that!
Today was one of the rubbish commentary I've ever heard. Calling Judy Andy's coach, saying that Isner clearly outhit Andy in the 1st set.

Fed/Djoko at 5pm, Andy/Rafa or Roddick to follow

You're right Linda!!!!!

It's not before 2.45 pm NY time, isn't it?

So it's 12noon (5pm UK) start for Fed v Nole (who had today off).
Not before 2.45pm (7.45pm UK) for Andy v ????? (who is still on court).

I've had a long day!!!!

You nearly gave me a heart attack! I'm out from 5.30 to 7.15. With this timing I can watch (although Rafa is looking scarily good against Roddick, I was hoping for a ding-dong battle).

At least whoever wins tomorrow will have a day off as the final now on Monday
Lets hope no more rain tomorrow especially not after Nole/Fed have played

Sets 1 and 2 were great .... sets 3 and 4 I can't comment upon as I was in the car and unable to watch .... and by the sounds of things that wasn't a bad thing

Well done Andy - so pleased you've made your 4th semi of the year .... way to go!

Jay..you said it. Isner was closer to the sun, closer to defeat. Did an Icarus!!!

Easy for you. You didn't go through what we went through! Last Friday and now this Friday I'm into the white wine rack. Was hoping it would last until Christmas. God knows what I will be like if he get to the final. BTW I have promised a certain Saint a charitable donation each match. But I will honour it. Next time you see me I may be destitute and relying on the kindness of friends.

So it's Andy-Rafa SF. AGAIN. Hoping for a different outcome. We all know Andy's got the game. It's all between the ears now.

Good luck Andy!

Don't worry Maureen--I'll buy you some white wine at braehead next weekend -you'll be alright. looking forward to meeting up with you again.

And I you. It will be so lovely to meet up again.

I thought Isner would be easy to beat. Well, not easy. but not as hard as today. I hate it when Andy gets all negative. The commies on CBS were all complaining about it and apologising for his bad language. Johnny Mac, who has predicted Andy to win the whole thing, said it's that negative attitude that is holding him back from winning a GS.

But I enjoyed the match all the same and I knew he'd win.

This happened to me a few times on this board, until I realised that after you write a reply and click "submit", it often comes back with a message that there have been new posts while you were writing and asks if you still want to submit the post. If you notice this and click on "save", your post goes ahead, but if you don't notice it and just move straight on to another thread, your post will vanish into thin air.
