Nadal has a big chance of winning. I'm not betting on Andy Murray here.

That's the problem, Murray actually has a decent record against Djokovic on Hard. Djoko leads Nadal 8-4 on Hard, and he's having the best year of his career.

21/10 on it going to 5 sets. Tempting...

Fucking hell, I wasn't speaking literally but now I shall explain my decision in full detail.

I have a betting account on the Internet which I use for betting. This weekend alone I have made £120 profit. I make this profit by taking risks and a lot of the time it pays off. Novak Djokovic is favourite and so he should be, but if I bet £20 on him, I'd win a huge £10.40. If I bet the same amount on Nadal, I'd win £25. Rafael Nadal can win but if he doesn't then life goes on and I'm still £100 up, if he does then I'm £145 up.

Great win by Stosur.

The problem with that is, you bet on Djokovic, you win a little amount, you bet on Rafa, you only lose.

Then I lose and be gracious in defeat. I'll still be £100 up on what I started with. If Nadal wins somehow, then I've made a good amount of money. alee

Serena was given a whopping $2000 fine for berating the umpire.

Yeah, that'll teach her.

Nadal needs to go on this site. http://www.drsprocket.com/Dr_Sprocket/Dr_Sprocket_Home.html

This is such a good match considering they're both baseline players. Djoko has been skewing an awful lot of forehands early in the second.

Djokovic is just a machine...

Such a complete player.

I'm calling it. Party done.

Nadal is getting SMASHED.

Only just started watching this now, had £15 on Djoko earlier today. Looks like smart money.

Did Novak break already in this set?

What a shot by Djoko.

This is some match. Shame I've got college in the morning.

Can't remember seeing so many breaks in a mens final

Suppose it's partly down to how great both players are at the baseline which almost nullifies the serving advantage.

What a return by Novak.

I want this to go to 4 at least. Don't care who wins, i'm enjoying this.

If Djokovic retires do I get my money back?

This has got Nadal in five written all over it.

I wouldn't go that far but things are looking to be on the up for him. Djokovic still has plenty of time for his game to improve again.

What a rally And I can't believe the crowd cheer faults.

Rafa needs to win this set. I have money on Novak winning 3-1.

Depends on which bookies you use.

Nope, Betfair only refunds bids if they retire in the first set. If Nadal were to retire now though, you'd get your winnings.

It has it's advantages & disadvantages - I've had many an accumulator ruined because of a void bet due a retirement (despite getting the outcome right)

Uh oh. Game over?

disappointed in nadal, he's playing like a pussy with his weak shots. djokovic has been more agressive and took his chances, while nadal has been playing safe.

Nadals back
