Sergio Garcia Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Deserved set from Novak, after looking overpowered in first set he has came out swinging and looking good. Still think it'll be Rafa in 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afraid my ageing memory doesn't stretch that far. Aye it was a Monday EDIT - From Wiki 'It was announced in December 2012 that the Men's Singles final will be played on a Monday night in 2013 and 2014,[12] a decision which has proved unpopular with the Association of Tennis Professionals.[13] The past five Men's Singles finals had been delayed by one day due to untimely weather conditions. From 2015, the men's final will move back to its traditional Sunday night time-slot.[14]' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afraid my ageing memory doesn't stretch that far. This is the first time its been Scheduled for a Monday night, but due to weather delays alot of finals previous were played on a Monday because hey have their Mens Super Saturday Semi Final night which would often get delayed to the Sunday meaning they needed to reschedule it for a Monday.

Tommy Wiseau Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Defo fancy Rafa in a big way. But enough about my personal feelings, on to the tennis. Nadal in 4. He has an air of invincibility about him at the moment. Actually hope he wins too - deserves it for fighting back from those injuries and reaching these kinds of exceptional standards.
