There was one right at the beginning lol.
I dunno, Djokovic looks the more agressive one but you can never question Federer's defensive skills, he's doing well.

Fed down a break in the third. Not looking rosy.
I'm pretty sure Clijsters will take out the women's final. I have a vague feeling that Li Na's recent victory over her may be a little bit counterproductive for Na somehow...Like she'll expect to win, or be too conscious of the fact that she can win and then panic when she encounters a Clijsters who will probably be playing a lot better than she did at Sydney.

No way, I wanted Na Li to win for sure.
I am worried for Federer - he doesn't seem to be up for it tonight. Poor guy, he sorta seems very lethargic on the court and not in control like usual.

Haha yeah, I was like what the hell? Because I respected Federer as the king of tennis just because of the sheer level of the finesse he has with the racquet and the ball. He's like an artist, or a magician or what ever you want to call it.
Only thing I know is that unforced errors aren't magestic, nor artistic. His back hand slices failed a lot, also his court coverage had been SEVERELY REDUCED, Some balls he didn't even bother running towards... I think it's because he's getting old??

in part yes. But the Joker certainly knows how to pump a ball real hard..............
Djokovic just had too much firepower for Federer to contain

This is Federer we are talking about. Yes Djokovic has gotten a lot better than last year, but it is still.... FEDERER
I remember watching him for the first time in like 2007, and I was blown away, because he was the first person I saw that just had such skill with the ball and his racquet - he defied conventional tennis so easily. The thing that most astounds me, is he wasn't injured, yet he LOST IN STRAIGHT SETS.
I think it's a mental issue of Federer, not physical. Watching the match, I could easily see Djokovic was 100x more confident, and it easily appeared to everyone the intensity of his hunger of winning the Open. Federer seemed to lack any intensity, he treated it like a 1st/2nd round match...
