IF you're a Stan fan it is. Nole looks like he's having physical problems. For me, it's not making for a good final.

Serena in the semi-finals appears to have had a knee injury, and now Nole's having injury issues (horrible blisters, possibly leg injury too) during the finals. I know injury is a part of sports, but injury sure can make sports suck

violates every rule. This was no medical emergency. I'm with McEnroe here - not buying it.
Take your licks like a big boy.

Yeah, there ought to be a concrete medical rule that unless you're severely injured (Possible broken bone/blood involved), you shouldn't be able to just "TAKE" a medial time out to possibly slow down a loss or to throw your opponent off their rhythm. Bathroom breaks are horrible too, but not everyone is criticized for the bathroom breaks they take in the WTA however.
