<p>Well done Stan! I’d love an all Swiss final but Rafa probably has other ideas. Still, it’s all good and I can watch the rest of the matches without worrying that someone horrid is going to win.</p>
<p>Too bad we have to watch in the middle of the night to see the matches live!</p>
<p>It’s only for 2 weeks. I joke that I have jet lag without ever leaving the house. </p>
<p>And at least we now have the option of watching it live. I remember when everything was shown on tape delay.</p>
<p>What time EST would the Nadal- Federer match be on???</p>
<p>3:30 am Friday</p>
<p>Thanks Lulu - so I can wake up at 5:30ish and still likely catch some of it.</p>
<p>Going to be a great match…the question is…can I stay up through the whole match? Im on the west coast and going to try my best!!</p>
<p>Woke up at 5-all in the first, gotta love ESPN streaming on the iPad as I sure wasn’t getting out of bed. Way to go Rafa. Tape on the left palm seems to be gone. He seems to be tired of talking about the blister.</p>
<p>I am on the West Coast, so the match started at 12:30 AM. We left ESPN on when we went to sleep, I woke up mid-way through the second set and watched the 2nd and 3rd sets. I was rooting for Federer, but Rafa played great. I like Rafa, but will root for Wawrinka in the final since he is the under-dog (and I am a sucker for an under-dog).</p>
<p>I’ll be rooting for Stan, too.</p>
<p>I will be rooting for RN. He’s in striking distance of the GOAT with the time he has before retirement if the knees hold up.</p>
<p>I like 'em both, so I’m more rooting for a five set classic than anything else…</p>
<p>I always root for Rafa.</p>
<p>For the ladies, as long as there is no Serena I’m happy.</p>
<p>Well done LI NA! Deserved. Happy she has a second slam under her belt. 
</p>
<p>Tried to leave the TV on when you go to sleep trick again and watched the last few games of the first set. I would have been happy either way, but Li Na was really playing great. </p>
<p>Very happy for Na! Waking up tonight to watch Nadal. TGIWeekend!</p>
<p>Was rooting for Stan but am disappointed to see Nadal injured.</p>
<p>Stan won. Nadal had no chance against Stan today, “inured” or otherwise. Stan beat Djokovic in a convincing manner earlier, and at the Australian, Djokovic is heads and shoulders above the rest. This week, nobody had a chance against Wawrinka. The guy was in the zone. </p>
<p>I was also happy that Li Na won. I had prefered it if Ivanovic won, but I am very happy for Na.</p>
<p>Only woke up in the middle of set 3. Didn’t know about the Nadal problems until after it was over.
Congrats to Stan.</p>
<p>Very happy for Stan. I must say I’m a bit suspicious of the “injury”. </p>
