Oh wow! I was just thinking that I need to try out the courts here at my apartment complex! Get out of my mind!

Fed truly has his back against the wall. He has to hold serve, then serve well in the tiebreak.
If Nadal wins this set no way I see Fed winning 2 straight including a 5th set.

Thanks. I dont know anything about tennis so had now clue these guys are the best in the biz. Not really sure what I am watching...but it looks to be very good! Very competitive!
yeah just watch any match between fed-Nadal-Djoko (not on clay) and you'll become a fan. Try the 2008 Wimbledon final or last year's US open semi-final (fed-Djoko). If that doesn't make you a fan then

Thanks. What is the scoring system? That is confusing me.

I'm about to take 40mg of adderall and a blody mary with a side of mimosa.

Not really, his serve hasn't been all that great this set. It's been good only 2 games, and he's had quite a few faults.
He hasn't gotten into a rhythm the entire game, so it's hard to predict when he'll find a mini stride.

Yep I've got to find me a trainer or something. I love tennis and, yet, have never played a real game

2 more points, Rafa!!

Fed is absolutely killing himself on all these dang errors.
His forehand is letting him down, he's trying to keep everything so flat.

FED has WAY too many unforced errors. This match is bout over. If Rafa takes this set hre will cruise in the 4th.

Tiebreak boys and girls. Get ready!

So it goes 15 for the 1st point, 30 for the second, 40 for the 3rd... then game.
And you have to win by 2 points... so... it has to be at least 40-30 and then game to win. If you tie at 40 all, it goes to deuce. When a person gets the point, they get the advantage... and the score basically goes back to 40-30. That happens until someone wins the game.

We could be here a while.

Now the games are tied at 6 all, so there has to be a tiebreak for the set. Basically, they switch serves back and forth, and again, you have to win by 2 points.
