FFS mate get over it was 1968 loads of people take a kicking as a teenager or at some time in their life it's part of life as shit as it might seem
I've been thrown through a window of an Indian restaurant before down ship street in Brighton cut all my arm open pissed off about it at the time but had a laugh about it the next day with all my mates coz it had ripped my brand new £200 coat I'd been bragging about the previous night

Might harm Del P, but Djokavic has previously played a 5 hour slam semi (against Murray, I think), then come out the next day and played a long final (and won). He seems to run on Duracell.
He's not human.
Brilliant match.
Del Potro playing out of his skin.

It's all well and good saying 'hope it goes to 5 sets and they're knackered'. However, the slight problem with that is the longer the match goes on, the later Murray gets on to court. All these guys are supremely fit, the only thing with Del Potro is whether his knee holds up.

True, but with 48 hours recovery, I think finishing a couple of hours later won't bother Murray too. much. I suspect if you asked him - and I'm not assuming he's going to win his semi - whether he'd rather play a slightly jaded Djok and finish his match 2 hours later or a fresh Djok and have 2 hours more rest, I think I know what he'd choose.

Del Potro did extremely well to force a tie-break there after being 0-40 down. Excellent match.

Let it last the distance and I can get back from London to Shoreham to see the other one.

Well your certainly one of the lads.
Djokovic has just moved up a gear. This will be over pretty soon.

Not really mate never started or looked for trouble in my life but if I ever did get a kicking I wouldn't be crying about it 40 years later and hating a whole nation because I'd got beaten up by one Scotsman

Anyway feck off I'm watching the Tennis
It did look that way when Djokovic broke but Del Potro broke back. What a game this is turning out to be! 5-5 in the 4th.
Del Potro looked out of it at 4-6 in the tiebreak.
He now has a set point.....what a tiebreak and what a game.

We are going the distance, what a comeback there from Del Potro
Truly amazing 4th set. Del Potro saves TWO match points in the tie break then wins it to take us to a 5th.
That was an hour ago, and I reckon we're still an hour off.
