    Is it the return of el Choko...

    Or is he just being outplayed?

    Just got broken again, Berdie's serving to go up 2 sets to love.

    I only saw the first set before I left. Out played for the most part from what I saw, but Djokovic was also making some dumb shots as evidenced by his winners-errors ratio of about 1:1.

    I also prefer Djoko-bitch to El Choko.


    How many break opps ya gonna blow?

    WHOA, Breaker breaker. This is it right here. Win the tie break or tuck your nuts into your vagina and go back to Serbia.

    Well, Djokovic just got lucky thanks to the ball hitting the tape and broke back.

    Now heading into the TB. Although I would've agreed with you 5 minutes ago EP, Berdie's starting to show a few signs of tightening up so there's still a lot of hope left for your bet.

    Not after he blows the tie break. Mini break right off, nighty night Djokobitch.

    I'm trying not to offend our Serbian friends. They can't deny he's a choker but I don't want them cracking it at me for calling him a bitch.

    Whatever we want to call him, he needs to win this damn tie break for there to be much hope for all of you on him. Bloody hell this guy.

    Not gonna happen. I would ALMOST go all-in live betting on Berdych at any price right now, except for the memory of him choking away a 2-0 lead last month to Soderling in a similar spot. Although Soderling > Djokovic from a mental standpoint, I think.

    oh come on, very mediocre season by djoker, while berdych has been stellar to say the least, this is no choke, the better player is winning

    Sad thing is he was just a few big points away from winning the 2nd set and making it a match. Berdych has plenty of errors too in this one, but his haven't come with a set on the line ... YET ...

    Wow. Djokovic just got slightly screwed there by the line judge. He looks like he needs his asthma inhaler after that rally.

    EP, I think that call may have been just what you needed to save your bet. He's finally fired up.

    We'll see. Until he wins a set, he's a piece of shit.

    You have got to be fukking kidding me. He needs a racquet to his head.

    I hope this serves as a good learning point for those new to tennis capping: betting on someone mainly because of Grand Slam experience and their ranking can bite you in the arse if the dude is weak mentally.

    And dropped to -580. Apparently many remember the French Open. I don't think we're in for a repeat.

    Well, Djokovic has come back from two sets down exactly once in his career. Maybe he'll make it twice for you today but he needs to stop playing those damn drop shots and forget about that last set.

    He looks like he's given up completely. Too much slouching and not enough fighting.

    How has Berdych been stellar and Djokovic been mediocre? Sorry but I don't agree.

    The past year exactly Berdych 52-23 69% while Djokovic is 64-16 at 80%. On grass this season Berdych is 5-0 (all at Wimbledon) while Djokovic is 6-1 having played Queens Club. To use either of those terms to describe either of these guys is unwarranted in my opinion.

    I think he's trying but his body language is horrible. I can't tell if it's because he thinks he's beaten or if he's just out of steam. I'd really like to see him at least take a set but his shot selection at times isn't doing him any favours at all.

    Does this guy not realise that Federer is out. He needs to pull his thumb out of his ass and stop walking around like he's at a fuuckin funeral.

    I really thought Berdych was going to choke it away in that 2nd set. After getting broken when serving for the set and then up 6-2 in the tiebreak and couldn't put it away. Surprising play from Berdych.

    This would have been a different match if Joker could have pulled off that 2nd set tiebreak. I think Berdych would have crumbled if he had blown a 6-2 lead. That being said it was my fault for betting on this stiff...I got suckered by the nice line.

    shari you watch a lot of tennis I assume so you know what I talk of

    numbers mean diddly doo, have you seen those two play recently? berdych has been solid, djoko not so much, never gave you the impression that he is taking control of the game and has lost to some shaddy opposition
