They have to replay that point because Novak's shot was called out before Roger hit it.

Both players classy as expected. Novak is one funny guy in the locker-room. His impersonations are hilarious.

Just saw that Serena retired after only six games into her opening match due to an injury. After watching the replay, I’m still trying to see how and what she injured.
Although in tears, likely due to her early exit, she certainly looked fine exiting the court without so much as even a slight limp.
She has not been the dominating force in women’s tennis since giving birth and I just wonder if she ever will be again.
She’s always been a big woman - hell, her thighs are bigger than MINE, although hers are pure muscle while mine are - well pretty much what you’d expect to find on a 59 year old man.
But she just looks overwhelmingly larger than I can remember and tennis is NOT a sport for large men or women.
It is a sport that requires speed, movement and grace and Serena does not appear to have any of those at this point in her career.
And it certainly cannot be easy trying to hit a pinpoint forehand or backhand with her “top half” in its current state and size.
We hate to see the great ones leave the game when they still have something left in the tank. But the last few times I’ve watched Serena play, it seemed as though she was just “going through the motions”.
Despite one of the hardest and fastest serves in the game, she can’t depend only on aces to win her games and tournaments.
And as strong as her baseline game used to be, there’s always going to be someone younger and faster that can return volley with her while at the same time playing the net and drop shot that Serena simply cannot get to anymore.
I was a big fan of Agassi and McEnroe before him and was lucky enough to see both of them play live. But they both knew when it was time to hang the racquet up and I hope Serena maybe starts to realize that time is near approaching, if not already here.
GO DODGERS!!!
