Absolutely brilliant first set from Kygios, 6-4. Nick made it look easy, at least until the final game, the only time nerves seemed to be a factor.

My tv still isn't working at home and I'm working till noon or so. Just tuned in to see Kyrgios took the first set.

Nole breaks for 3-1 in the second set and the long process of breaking Nick's game down begins in earnest.

Nerve-wracking final game as Nole goes down love-40 on serve but he recovers. He bettered every single aspect of his game that set: returne, first serve, backcourt game, the works.

Nole's play reflects his recent pattern lately--lose a first set (or two) then tighten the screws; this match could be over in four sets

some moron keeps yelling when Kyrgios is about to play shots in the last game of the 2nd set, one of the worst things about British crowds is we always have people like that, hopefully they got removed

A friend just texted me and said Kyrgios is acting like an ass and making Djokovic look good! I am not home to watch. I wondered at what point Kyrgios would start acting up.

Kyrgios looks like a shell shocked Roy in his last game with the Habs. Djokovic is also a hot head himself, but I think now his when his mental game completely takes over vs the erratic Kyrgios

These two players couldn't be more different when it comes to focus and mental strength. Djokovic loses a set and only gets stronger and more focused. Kyrgios loses a set and implodes.
Djokovic is playing this year like a freaking hustler, dropping one or two sets a match he has no business losing then after giving you false hope he just stomps on it like a bug.

The match is sure living up to expectations. Some beautiful tennis from both these guys. I'd llike to see it go to a fifth even though I don't think it will.

Not cheering for anyone in this final but i’m with Kyrgios on the whole people drinking too much and becoming belligerent at sporting events

Great tennis though tempered somewhat by the fact that the outcome seemed almost preordained.
