Well I wasn’t expecting this
And we’re into a 5th set.
Hmmmph!!!. When I saw the thread bumped I thought @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy had won a tournament or some malcontent had set the pavilion of the LTC on fire.
Alas neither.
Djokovic breaks for 2-1 in the 5th.
Game over. The extra hour and a half won’t be of much benefit to Novak.
It was very careless. Serving for a straight set win and ends up out on court for over an hour and a half more.
Credit to Tsitsipas. Could have easily chucked the towel in there with the form Djokovic was in but kept plugging away and played some great stuff.

Is this girl a Mormon or something, she’s dressed like a 19th century tennis player
It’s cold.
Not many outdoor events played in Europe in October, generally.
Is this a tactical medical timeout? Taking a leaf out of Djokovic playbook
Think so. Wojtek Fibak was close . Radwanska lost a couple of finals. Fair fucks.
Something to whet the appetite for later.
With Federer not taking part, I haven’t watched any of this.
Do we still have time to make ourselves a cup of tea during a Nadal service game and not miss a point ?
Hasn’t been the case for a few years now. Nadal’s body gave out on him in 2015/16 and he had to reinvent his game to go for shorter, quicker points. If the rallies go long and attritional today then it is advantage Djokovic.
I was referring to the length it takes him to actually serve
Can you make a cup of tea in 25 seconds?
The shot clock has been in for a few years now.
