OT: The Australian Open

[wire chief]

Andy & Novak will be up to their old tricks at 3amESPN, not 2.
Novak has momentum? Well he gutted out a 5-setter over Wawrinka in the quarters, then crushed David Ferrer in the semis. He has an extra day's rest over Andy, who needed 5 sets in his semi. And Novak is the defending champ.

Andy has momentum? He has a new lease on life with Ivan Lendl in his corner. Andy broke through last year, winning the Olympics. And he pulled through in the US Open vs. that same Novak who he now meets. And yesterday's victory over Roger was another step, for he had been 0-3 against Roger in Majors.

Should be one mighty contest.

That was a major confidence builder for Andy but your point about fatigue could be a decider, really looking forward to his one.

In signing off on this year's Open, I'm amazed we had more than 1800 look-ins on the board. Great to see tennis is alive and well on the Boneyard.

10 people, each one has 180 look-ins

And some of us aren't really tennis fans but check each thread on the board.

Just to keep up with what is happening but not really a fan. This time I learned about Sloane Stephens but I wouldn't say it was because I am a big fan of tennis.
