Australian Open... Spoiler

Will meet Federer in Australian Open Championships

Amazing marathon match against Dimitrov. One for the books.

No one ever tell me that tennis is for wimps. Great demonstration of athletic agility and endurance.

Nearly 5 hours.

Gawd I love this game.

Roger/Rafa final, William sisters final... Did we time warp back to eight or nine years and I missed it?

It is an amazing test of skills when the best go one on one. This does sound like an epic match. Now can I request that you change the subject title for this OP? I have friends who tape these matches to view later, especially when they are in distant time zones, and they want to keep up the suspense while watching. This is a classic spoiler thread, placed in General Discussion where it can not be avoided.

The discussion is fine, but could you change the title to something that doesn't give it away for those who want to see the match without knowing the outcome in advance? Anything like "Epic Final to Men's Australian Open" or whatever. Thanks for considering it.

I'm not one of those but I know some. But now I am interested in catching some if not all of that match. For those who saw it in real time it must have been amazing, and I certainly understand why you tarted a thread to discuss it.
