Rafa in a five set thriller.
This is really fecked up...if this goes over 5 hour, I'll probably sleep around 8 AM.
thats fecked up
Rafa to win in 4 sets
The last time Rafa beat Novak here in the final, with the rain delays and all, the match ended at 830 AM here. Surely can't be the same again
Nervous now. Don't want to see Nadal lose yet another Slam final to Novak
Did you sleep beforehand or like me you are going all out?The last time Rafa beat Novak here in the final, with the rain delays and all, the match ended at 830 AM here. Surely can't be the same again
I had a little nap in preparation and I'm only in England, it must be awful for you lads. Nadal in a pulsating five setter
here we go then...
VAMOS RAFA!!!
VAMOS RAFA!!!
C'mon Rafa.
1st game and Nole's mission is clear. Aggresive from the beggining, its his only chance.
Nadal a break up already.
Good start for Rafa
The annoying thing about these matches is that both players take 20 minutes to serve.
It's Nadal, he takes 2 weeks wiping his whole body down with a towel after every point.
Djokovic not playing that well.
This could break their Aussie Open final record. Looking at 7 hours the way we are going here. Every game going to deuce, every point a 10+ rally.
Surprisingly I'm finding this match not that exciting.
feck me
Petchey as usual going into hypobole mode about those 2 easy pickups from Rafa.
Djokovic isn't quite at the races at the moment. Nadal's hitting some great shots mind.
Nole pull yourself together man.
Yeah. Nadal is creaming him at the moment. Playing some great shots.
Although I've seen this many times in Nadal-Djokovic matches. Suddenly Djokovic will find inspiration and he'll dominate. Wouldn't get too excited yet as a Nadal fan.

Djokovic was really going for his shots in the opening game or so, and he just stopped. He has to play lights out tennis here to win. Stop pushing and trading with him from the back, it won't work.
Bloody hell Nadal is like a girl, how long does he need to get ready.
Chokervic is playing like he did pre-2011. He doesn't look like he believes he can win this.
That's certainly true. The recent losses have all been pretty close but that's something that he would have won a couple of years ago, and now those tight matches are not going in his favour. He just needs to be more aggressive generally, his whole body language is terrible in comparison to Nadal's.
That is a wand in Nadal's left hand, not a racquet. He's fecking unplayable.
That rafa forehand was 
That Nole lob was
Nole is alive! feck me, what a point!!!!!!!!!!!
54 shots
Wow!!!
What the feck was that!
What a point by Djokovic, stunning defence. 54 shots 
That is what you have to do to break Nadal.
Here we go, fecking hell Novak. Hold your serve you mug.
3 break points Rafa!
No idea why he didnt challenge that first serve, it was in.
2 more. Come on Rafa!!
