Re: Tennis
Well that was a waste of time, Federer and Djokovic both through after a set and a couple of games.
I wonder how much of the stupid amounts of money the two cry offs will get for that?

Re: Tennis
Absolute masterclass of a choke by Fabio Fognini here. Gets worse for him too. Literally fell apart for him. He was close to taking Murray all the way to a fifth.

Re: Tennis
Murray will need to up his game several notches the way Nadal is playing ATM. Still a gutsy fight back from 5-2 down in 4th by Murray.

Re: Tennis
Well that was a surprise, great match and a deserved win by Gilles Muller, so that only leaves Federer cruising. Murray looks vulnerable as does Djokovic.

Yes it was certainly a epic match as my mother was supposed to phone us up 2 hours earlier then the match finished but like many of us put everything on hold until the match finally finished.

Re: Tennis
Excellent news, first British woman to be a Wimbledon semi finalist since Virginia Wade in 1978. And more importantly, not that I am biased or anything, it stops Halep getting the World #1 spot.

Re: Tennis
Women's game is usually slow, boring and predictable, but I have really enjoyed watching Konta absolutely going for it.

Re: Tennis
Injury finally took it's toll, Murray way off the pace, well played by Querrey though.

Sadly he was struggling with a limp throughout the match and was way off the pace.

Re: Tennis
At least he completed his match unlike several others this Wimbledon, wether that is brave or foolish only time will tell.
