nole having a trainer out....:ras:

60% first serves in, 94% won. 16/7 W/UE. Fed's putting on a clinc--hope he can keep it up and not go away for a set as he's been accustomed to doing of late.

Is Djokovic calling an injury timeout?

Edit: Yes he is - but apparently not right away or it was very quick as he's serving now...

he should bring out his Federer impression...he needs it :p

Fakervic calls the trainer. What a joke!!!

medical time-out for Djokovic

Medical timeout :rolleyes:

Faker is losing, so he's obviously ill. Great excuse for the Noletrolls. :worship:
