Me too mate.

 

Having a few million quid in the bank certainly helps your recovery. I doubt Roger goes to his local GP and gets put on a 3 month waiting list to see a physio student.

After my shoulder operation recently I had to have physio. 32 sessions over a 3 month period, about 25 mins a session. The woman was telling me that the top sportspeople would have the same amount of physio in a couple of days.

I've got two herniated discs in my lumbar and it's causing me all sorts of grief. If I was a millionaire, I doubt it would even bother me.

True, but they do have to go through the same pain, probably more. A good physio session which is doing you good in the long run is agony. 

 

Looking good for Fed to go 2-1 up in sets here. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Huge set for Fed to win.

I mean that they can afford to see specialists privately, have physio daily, etc. Still wouldn't be much fun like!

Definitely not, they also have the same physio and not a different person every time you have an appointment. Some of them put in the effort, others less so.

I'm don't follow tennis much but what's the PED testing like?

All the celebrity bell ends straining to be seen at the big  event while the true fans watch from Herman Hill outside....same as it ever was

Rodge's backhand is just sensational.

It really is

Federer is something else. Greatest without a doubt.

It's like a table tennis backhand flick. Insane power on it.

For as good as Fed has been I think Nadal has been poor and I don’t see him turning this around,  he looks done

Fed is such a clever player, he has Nadal running around and the more power Nadal tries to hit hard forced shots the angles are far too hard to get many winners in. 

[Bjornebye]

Djokovic will be praying for a decider 

[Bjornebye]

Brilliant this 

[Elite]

I think if Federer wins this tournament he'll have surpassed even the great Andrew Castles achievements.

[Dougie Do'ins]

Match has come to life in the last two games. Shame it'll be all over soon.

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

I'm sweating just watching this.

[Bjornebye]

Wow ! Rafa fighting like fuck 

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

Wow. What a guy.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

You just have to doff your cap to Federer. Pleasantly surprised as I thought Nadal would have too much for him today. Good game, especially that last game, fair fucks to Nadal for giving it all he had despite the pressure. Obviously hope Federer goes on to win the title against the Robot. 

[Captain Howdy]

Should be a good final, I wont see it because of the cricket but I would be surprised if Djokovic doesn’t win

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

Fair play to Rafa. Didn't walk off in a huff. Signing anything given to him by the crowd.

[KMD7]

Hope Fed has enough left in the tank against Djokovic. He played really well today
