Australian Open 2017 [Roger Federer clinches his 18th Grand Slam title]

[Protea Fan]

At this point, I really don't know who federer would prefer

Dimitrov looking utterly deadly atm, pretending as though the 3rd set never happened

 

[Zak_Fan]

OMG... 5th set has been EPIC!!! If you are not watching this live, do catch the highlights.

 

[Zak_Fan]

This could be the match for Dimitrov. 0-30 and Rafa's serve has lost all the steam.

 

[shah_1]

What a comeback by Nadal

 

[shah_1]

YES YES

He got the break

Vamos Nadal

 

[shah_1]

15-0 Nadal

 

[Aman]

That comeback from 0-30 by Nadal was so clutch

 

[shah_1]

30-0 Nadal

Two points away from an epic win

 

[Aman]

This could be the match for Dimitrov. 0-30 and Rafa's serve has lost all the steam.

I thought he was done there man... what a legend..

 

[shah_1]

30-15

 

[Aman]

Damn, not over yet... Dimitrov not giving up.

 

[shah_1]

30-30

Thriller

 

[Aman]

Match point.

 

[shah_1]

40-30

 

[Aman]

Damn it

 

[shah_1]

40-40

Not over yet

 

[Aman]

C'mon Rafa!

 

[shah_1]

YES !

Match point

 

[Aman]

God damn it, second match point saved...

 

[shah_1]

40-40

I am going to have a heart attack LOL

 

[Aman]

Third match point..

 

[shah_1]

Match point for the 3rd time

 

[Aman]

He's done it!!!

The dream final is on

 

[shah_1]

Nadal won nadal won

yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

 

[Aman]

I'm not a big fan of tennis at all, the only reason I started watching was because of Nadal and Federer.

Going to be awesome to see them lock up again in a GS Final.

 

[street cricketer]

Rafa VAMOS!

 

[shah_1]

This match was special

One of the greatest of all time

 

[Zak_Fan]

Yesssssssssssssss !!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Zak_Fan]

Well played Dimitrov. This was such an epic effort !

I started watching because of Marat Safin. He was a great character while playing


Nowaday due to lack of time, I watch only Nadal matches

 

[street cricketer]

Chuffed for Rafa after all his setbacks and injuries over the past year or two. Personally I wrote his career off, but guy proves once again that he can never be written off.

An another note, I wouldn't be surprised if Federer wins the final though after a draining semifinal for Nadal. Just hope he recovers soon for the big match.

In India are people mostly divided between Nadal and Federer or are Novak and Murray favorites now?

 

[Protea Fan]

Unreal fight and dedication from nadal which is their in his routine

sumptuous mental strength,stamina and shotmaking from Grigor.....the lad has some future

Now the odds are favouring nadal to win the title and fed will be the underdog which is good i think

 

[Zak_Fan]

In India are people mostly divided between Nadal and Federer or are Novak and Murray favorites now?

Popularity-wise, Djokovic is up there with Fed and Nadal. Don't think many care about Sir Andy Murray though.

 

[Muhammad10]

Looks like I missed a classic.

Hope to see an epic final on Sunday, in shaa Allah.

When I was in college, my friends were mostly divided between Federer and Nadal with the odd fan for Djoker.

None for Murray though.

 

[Nostalgic]

Four breaks of serve in the first four games in the ladies' final...

 

[bones]

The women's final has no intensity, it's a terrible watch.

 

[bones]

I guess everyone is building up for tomorrow's final. But neutrals and Federer fans will be disappointed the most.

 

[shah_1]

The women's final has no intensity, it's a terrible watch.

They want equal pay lol

 

[Zak_Fan]

165-170 kph 1st serves. 145 kph second serves.

No way Rafa is winning it like this.

 

[Zak_Fan]

Roger on the other hand is serving missiles. About to wrap up the 1st set with ease.

 

[street cricketer]

That moment when everyone in your family is a Federer fan and you're the lone Nadal supporter!

 

[Zak_Fan]

No one watching this? Rafa breaks !!

 

[street cricketer]

No one watching this? Rafa breaks !!

Looks like Federer fans are too tensed to post even after a set up.

 

[Zak_Fan]

Looks like Federer fans are too tensed to post even after a set up.

Lol, probably. His game is slipping big time in this second set. Gets broken again.

 

[Zak_Fan]

Federer playing very aggressive here, so when it comes off, Nadal is no match, but when it goes wrong, he is losing points quickly. Nadal on the other hand looks predictably defensive.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Looks like Federer fans are too tensed to post even after a set up.

He's almost 36 brother. And yes, I'm too tense to even watch.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Damn. 2nd set to Nadal.

 

[Zak_Fan]

6-4, 3-6 .. Let's hope that the 3rd set sees the best of both.

 

[shah_1]

Nadal will win this

 

[Nikhil_cric]

I just don't see Federer lasting five sets against Nadal. The longer it goes, the better for Nadal.

 

[Aman]

No one watching this? Rafa breaks !!

Too invested in the match to post.

 

[Aman]

Federer is mentally shot, he always doubts himself against Nadal.

 

[shah_1]

Federer's forehand ???

 

[Aman]

Another ace to save the break point

 

[Aman]

Damn Fed's serve is clutch, he saved two break points with aces.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Federer is mentally shot, he always doubts himself against Nadal.

Yeah he's never been at his best against Nadal for whatever reason.

 

[Aman]

Just after I say that, Fed breaks

 

[Aman]

Fed going to go up 0-3 in the third, damn...

 

[shah_1]

Great going Federer

 

[street cricketer]

C'mon Nadal man.

 

[shah_1]

Great aggression from Federer

 

[shah_1]

3 break points saved by Federer in the first game of 3rd set could be turning point of the match

 

[street cricketer]

Someone just gave a ring and hoped the crowd would help him out with the yes.

 

[SandyB]

Nadal always seems to have the mental side sorted. Doing great in this game . Federer is looking invincible in some games and then goes fragile in a few..

 

[SandyB]

3 aces in a row wasn't it ? Legend !

 

[shah_1]

Federer has been magical in some points in the 3rd set

WON IT

 

[street cricketer]

Fed is playing a pretty aggressive brand of tennis. He knows the longer the match goes on, the more it plays into Nadal's hands (despite the marathon match on Friday).

Hopefully Nadal can make a comeback in the 4th set..

 

[shah_1]

35 year old winning this would be something

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Cmon Fed finish it off this set!!

 

[shah_1]

2-1 Federer


Nadal must be scared but can make a comeback

 

[street cricketer]

Nadal doesn't have the same legs.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Warner present at the match.

 

[shah_1]

Nadal has got the break

This is his chance

 

[shah_1]

What a point omggggg

 

[street cricketer]

I bow down to Nadal just for that winner.

 

[JaDed]

If it goes to last set Nadal will most probably be the winner,this is a make or break set for Roger.

 

[JaDed]

Its so hard to break Nadal's serve in last 2 sets of games.

 

[JaDed]

Danit I'm not even watching it now.
