Another testament to the champ's mental toughness and endurance. What an amazing match. We had a snow storm and our power went out at the precise moment when djoker hit the winner to win the 3rd set. Started shaking the tv to spit out a few extra watts. It was a sleepless night but caught the rest on replay today. Time to get a generator.

Amazing story! I'd be going mental if the power went out during such a match.

So funny reading the rabid rage of all the hatas (and I'm only on page 3). What dumbasses.

The rage quickly turned into deep depression. At least less things get broken that way. Catatonia is like that.

According to your theory he should be promoted. If the people you claim run the show.

Fell asleep during the match . How much of a mug do I feel now ?

Happy for Nole, sad for Stan.

Not so. GSMNadal was talking about the original call by the linesperson. If the ball hadn't originally been called out by the linesperson Wawrinka would have won the point and broken serve.

It was called out by linesman. It would have been replayed. Not to mention that it was a BP, not a MP. This call has some significance but it wasn't crucial. And surely there were no cheating from anyone-- not linesman, not Molina, and of course not Djokovic. But hey, fedtards want to throw in their usual false accusations, that is a fucking surprise

The power going out when you're watching television is an amazing story? You're easily impressed.

'some significance but not crucial'. How is the point to break so you can serve for the match not crucial

Djokovic might have broken him, but Wawrinka held 6 consecutive times after that game, so it's not like Nole was in his break at will mode. Of course you'd have the added nerves, but that call was a huge, huge lucky break for Nole.

Such things happen, I don't know how many points would Nole lose last season if he didn't use his challenges all the time. Was it Rome finals when the wrong challenge made him lose his focus and ultimately lose the set? I don't remember you going so wild about it when it was in Nadal's favor

I don't remember that being on break point at 4-4 in the deciding set

Of course, I didn't think you would remember. What a hypocrite

First of all, 90% of comments here are directed at the umpire, not the linesperson. But second of all, even without the incorrect call by the linesperson there's no guarantee that Wavrinka would have won the point. Djokovic got it back over the net, and the ball was still in play. Players miss dead easy smashes and putaway balls all the time. If Novak had guessed the right corner, Wavrinka would have gone closer to the line with his shot and anything could have happened. It happened to Novak at a few occassions, even though Wavrinka is not nearly as good defensively as Novak. Just watch the match and see how many impossible balls from Wavrinka Novak got back into play...

Hypothetically, had Wavrinka broken, that's still no guarantee that he would have served it out. It would have been a psychologically different situation from simply being on serve. Wavrinka could have choked, Novak could have gone "all in" knowing that he had to do something different being at the brink of defeat. You cannot simply juxtapose the hypothetical break with the subsequent hold of serve. Two completely different circumstances. After all, Novak broke Wavrinka at the start of the 4th set and had 40-0 on his serve, then missed an easy shot, got broken and the match was all open again. You simply never know...

Also, for the 100th time, Wavrinka could have challenged but chose not to. Having only one challenge left was his own doing, but had he thought he had a realistic chance of winning the challenge he would have used it without a second thought. This was the final stage of the 4-4 game, and AFAIK the challenges are reset at 6-6, so he was just 3 games away from getting new ones anyway. It's a very lame excuse which I'm pleased to note doesn't come from Wavrinka himself but from a bunch of tards trying to cope with an unfavorable result by discrediting the winner any way they can

Maybe because they don't use the challenge system on clay courts? And maybe because it was a straight set victory? Could be, but if this wasn't the case, please refresh my memory.
