Shite

I mean, he's not giving up, but It feels over.

Yes I think so, Thiem's going for it but maybe he's just too knackered for it to pay off (only just missing etc).

Djok is reading his serve better.

oh dear.

Come on. Why is the net cord conspiring against him now when it's always been on his side?

these rallies are kiling me.

My telly was about to turn itself because I’ve been watching for too long!

I just want it to finish now (unless Thiem is going to perform some sort of miracle) - I’ll definitely be switching off before the Djok celebration

Turn itself off!

My tv threatened that too, earlier Fizzy and I couldn't find the remote!

Feck it!

At least it wasn’t at match point Raahh

Fizzy true- though if it means I miss his stupid celebration, I won't mind!

Quite

I was so hopeful earlier

Djok is looking like he knows he has it won.

It seems longer than four hours

I said I would be sitting here 4 hours, and I was right.

Bollocks.

Oh well.

He made him play for it. Far better than last year.

Poor Domi - he must be gutted

I do feel for Dom- he hasn't come close in the RG finals (no-one has ever taken Rafa to 5 sets in a final) so this will hurt.

Right- time for a shower.

Well, he gave a good account of himself, so that's something.

I switched off straight after match point, CBA with the overlong ceremony thanking Kia motors and what have you.

It wasn't a great tournament overall, was it?

Or was it?! (I can't remember anything these days )

It seems to have been a very long tournament Spidey - I also can’t stand all the corporate a word from our sponsors thing!

Did Djok not do the usual celebration thing? He just seemed to be pointing at things and ranting to himself!
