Meanwhile, At S W 19.....

[ChillDoubt]

Novak is 5-3 up in the first set.
Hoping for a Djokovic/Federer final, with Roger being crowned the greatest of all time with 8 titles.
Fingers crossed.....

[ChillDoubt]

First set to Novak 6-4 in 27 minutes.
They're not hanging about!

[ChillDoubt]

Novak 3-1 up with the break in the 2nd, this could be over in very quick time, though both are having their difficulties with the sunny but windy conditions.

[ChillDoubt]

Dimitrov breaks back, 3-3. We might just have a game on....

[ChillDoubt]

Dimitrov has mastered the conditions in the last 15 minutes and is now on fire, 5-3 up and serving for the 2nd.
Massive turnaround in fortunes, Dkokovic looks troubled...

[ChillDoubt]

One set all, Novak looks determined again and must be kicking himself a little for letting Dimitrov off the hook somewhat.

[Tilly2]

Thanks for the updates, chill.

[ChillDoubt]

No probs Tilly, nice to feel appreciated once in a while!

[ChillDoubt]

Going with serve in the third, 3-2 Novak, who is changing his shoes as the previous pair are worn away on the sole. Never seen that on grass before!

[ChillDoubt]

The 3rd set went with serve and Novak took the tie-break fairly easily. One set away now from another final....

[ChillDoubt]

Dimitrov broken in the 3rd, 3 DF's in that service game. Novak 2-1 up.
Fat lady not warbling yet but she may be gargling.

[ChillDoubt]

The cuddly female can resume her seat in the wings for now, Dimitrov breaks right back.
It's ebb and flow....

[ChillDoubt]

Djokovic is animated and vocal as he looks to his entourage, not sure what the rant was about. He appeard to be speaking in his mother tongue, not sure if Boris got that!

[Eve]

I'm watching :) Djokovic needs to step it up on this serve!

Can't believe how the weather looks there, warm but raining and gloomy up in Manchester.

[Eve]

Oof, come on, he's giving this one away!

[ChillDoubt]

Indeed Eve, it's thoroughly persisting down here in N. Wales!

[Eve]

Djokovic is certainly looking agitated! Not surprising mind, he is looking tired.

[Eve]

Oooh, lucky he got that one back! They both look hot and tired. I'd like to see a Djokovic v. Federer final too.

I was disappointed that Kyrgios didn't come through.

[ChillDoubt]

I was disappointed that Kyrgios didn't come through.
---------------
Ditto, the boy was mustard.

Novak holds, 4-4. Heading for a tie break that will make or break this match.....

[ChillDoubt]

No lack of athleticism out there, they're stretching every sinew!

[Eve]

The Court is looking rather knackered too! You'd think they'd have some way of sprucing it up throughout.

Some serious muscles going on out there!

Kygrios is going to one to watch I think! Not getting much of a buzz off Dimitrov.
