Crazy stuff....can't see Roger breaking here.

Down 15 30 doesn't help.

Shame.

[Robceltsfan]

Fed out....and Nadal struggling.

Bummer.

Any chance Djokovic contends? He's been on a dry spell for a while.

I don't see why not. It's a bit of a crapshoot with the remaining players. Anyone's tourney at this point.

This tournament’s been the best he’s looked in a couple years. We’ve had a few anticlimactic slam finals as of late, so it’s good to see him back in a form that could give Fedal a run. Hopefully the US Open is where we get another meeting between two of those three.

Nadal now down 2 sets to 1.

Could we lose 1 and 2 on the same day?

[Robceltsfan]

What a day at Wimbledon. Some incredible matches.

Serena makes another Grand Slam finals. Some posters here will be triggered.

Not me, I have more important things to worry about. But yes some might.

The Rafa-Delpo match was too damn entertaining. A total popcorn bucket affair, easily match of the year.

I genuinely thought that Rafa was done several times, he did so well to save the break back points in the 5th and to mercilessly attack Delpo's backhand and to keep him moving with the dropshots. Neither strategy will serve against Novak but Novak doesn't have the same heavy artillery as Juan in a couple of ways. It's funny that if Rafa hadn't blown three set points in the tiebreak, Delpo likely tanks down 0-2 and Rafa cruises on. He exerted a lot of energy but I think that the pros of being pushed like that may outweigh the cons, he has got to feel pretty confident right now. With that being said I consider it a tossup between he and Novak.

Tough loss for Roger but you have to figure now that he wasn't winning the title had he survived. I wouldn't count him out until he hangs em' up but there are ominous signs now. Losses to Kokkinakis, Coric and Anderson in three of his past four tourneys, two on grass. Bad.

It's a total certainty that he's going to be a force to be reckoned with moving forward. Anyone who doubted his comeback was foolish given that we have just seen Roger and Rafa rise from the ashes after serious multi-year blips.

Dammit works gonna get in the way of an epic semi day

[kobeunderbite]

This is some absolute crap. They should be playing the other semi simultaneously on court 1.

Anderson is going to get nicknamed Marathon Man if he wins this one.

I doubt it will be anything like Isner Mahut of years past. Isner really would be the marathon man

[AlaskaHawks]

Break point for Anderson....

[vcsgrizzfan]

Back to back five setters with the fifth set going to multiple extra games. If Anderson wins, how much can he have left for the finals?

[AlaskaHawks]

Isner looked wobbly standing back up after that one.

[AlaskaHawks]

Great point from Isner there.

Hit it on the run, and cuts it in the back corner. As he's running, he just takes a seat in his area. Another break saved.
