Haha, its not that exciting. xD

“Pfft right back at ya
The conditions were the same when it was suspended as they were the previous hour or so, so why didn't the ref/Umpire either suspend play earlier or leave it to continue if they believed the conditions were fine, which was what Nadal was questioning when play was eventually suspended
I was a tad shocked though to see them both lose enough composure with Nole breaking his bench and Rafa chucking that ball at the umpire over the duration of the match

But no one was disadvantaged - both were out playing. Its hardly like Nole had his half of the court sheltered while poor Rafa was out in the rain with the heavy tennis balls.

Visibility wise didn't one of the commentators mention that Nole wears contacts - which would cause more discomfort, therefore, making visibility more difficult for Nole overall.

(PS - why can't they just use the tennis balls once if thats a problem...? I mean surely they have plenty of spares sitting around...)
Yeah, I found it funny that during the first suspension, they actually focused on Nole and how fast they changed the bench. xD And lol at the outrage when Nole flipped his racquet in the air. xD

“lol those 6 points definitely didn't help, but I'm hopeful this night long break will give them both a rest so we can have a more heated contest which many expected it to be! As much as I'm loving Rafa winning, it's not really living up to expectations as it just seems like it was all Rafa's way the first 2 sets and now Djoko's way the next two...I'd rather it have been neck and neck all the way (even though my nerves would've been shot with that)!!It sucks that it's been suspended till tomorrow! Yeah, those football lights would be great, or just not let the Americans dictate such a late start to the final
If they'd been allowed to start sooner, we'd probably have either been finished by now, or at least a good bit into the 5th!”

I know, I don't think the match would be completed in one day though if they reached a 5th set.
Same - both seemed to be lacking something today. Noles serving was a bit off for the majority of the match.Hopefully tomorrow they both can play better overall. And Nole can get all 4 slams under his belt




I'm guessing we could debate this one till we're blue in the face Javvy 

Or when I wear them driving and the ac gets to them!
