    Stan in GOAT-mode right now... [​IMG]

    And he didn't just win the first set... he breadsticked Nole! 

    EDIT ~ No words.

    Stan's level dropping just a bit, while Nole hung in there...

    Impressed by Djoker to fight to stay in that set there... Back to reality?

    ^ He shoulda done more, really. He was up 40-0 after breaking Stan in the 3rd. Instead, Stan breaks back and now we're back on serve. 

    Backhand slowly coming back... some fine down-the-line shots there.

    On several levels too.  At 6-1, 4-1, we thought it wasn't gonna be Nole's day.  Then after Nole took the 3rd, we thought Stan would fold. And now Stan seems to have found his backhand again. What an amazing stroke.  

    In the 5th... who knows. Stan did get thigh massages in the 4th, so it'll be interesting to see how he physically holds.  Still... anything can happen.
