decent game on tonight. Wawrinka looks to have a small injury, and so started trying to shorten the points, and came out and won the third 6-1

I've never been a Federer or Nadal fan, so while I'm expecting a great game tonight I'm not overly excited by the match up, I don't care who wins

Dream final on paper.
Went to 5 sets.
Yet I don't feel it was really a classic final.

Well done to the Fed X

Serena has just performed one of the more remarkable chokes in tennis history. serving 5-1 in the third, losing 4 match points and going on to lose 7-5

I know it’s not Summer, but what a remarkable rise to the top of the game by Ash Barty....
Ranked 246 in July 2016 to now world no.1

Evans looks bit shot here, struggling between points, 5 all in third. De Minaur chases down everything.

Curious anyone watching - who is commentating game with Woodbridge??
