6-1, 6-4 to Serena today, I reckon.
You've got to beat the man to be the man, as it were. Novak is the man, Fed beat him, he'll beat Murray. THat's how I see it and that's how I want it. Federer in four.

Agree that it would be nice to ditch the 76 YEARS issue, but I am kinda rooting against Murray as if he wins Sports Personality of the Year 2012 that'll be a right kick in the face to swimmers/gymnasts/wheelchair murderball players, who only get a shot at recognition (and subsequent boost in funding/sponsorship) every 4 years. Thankfully this straw person is very unlikely to exist!
― katstevens, Saturday, 7 July 2012 10:49 (thirteen years ago)
Don't think he'd win sports personality of the year if he wins tomorrow against a more "likeable", top olympic performance.
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 7 July 2012 10:55 (thirteen years ago)
Ha just realised that if Murray loses in either a heartbreaker or a wipeout coming back in a couple of weeks for the Olympics will really not be great for him
― bitch I'm on the 242 (lex pretend), Saturday, 7 July 2012 11:04 (thirteen years ago)
Or maybe he'll see it as redemption!
Rooting for Roger, as always, rather than against Murray. Having said that I don't want to suffer so I'm more than okay with an annihilation (not that I expect one)
― pandemic, Saturday, 7 July 2012 11:12 (thirteen years ago)
lex otm on this thread re: jngoism/ 'likeability'/ BBC... everything concering Murray really! Murray annoys a lot of twattish people so that's a good reason to support him imo. Hoping against hope the final today is not a total bloodbath.

Oh the blessed silence of the commentators on the ESPN3 stream of this so far. Which I suspect will change once the match actually starts.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 7 July 2012 13:07 (thirteen years ago)
Bah, there it is.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 7 July 2012 13:08 (thirteen years ago)
I've enjoyed the #shitchrissiesays hashtag from the US tennis tweeters I follow
― bitch I'm on the 242 (lex pretend), Saturday, 7 July 2012 13:09 (thirteen years ago)
A-Rad wins a point! :D
― bitch I'm on the 242 (lex pretend), Saturday, 7 July 2012 13:11 (thirteen years ago)
Now can she win a game?
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 7 July 2012 13:18 (thirteen years ago)
Good grief that rally!
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 7 July 2012 13:20 (thirteen years ago)
How the hell did Radwanska even get that full-power Serena FH back?!
― bitch I'm on the 242 (lex pretend), Saturday, 7 July 2012 13:21 (thirteen years ago)
I have to leave for a wedding :( good luck Aga! Don't get bageled.
― Roz, Saturday, 7 July 2012 13:22 (thirteen years ago)
This whole match is going to be like this, isn't it?
― I see you, Pineapple Teef (DJP), Saturday, 7 July 2012 13:29 (thirteen years ago)
Yes :(
― bitch I'm on the 242 (lex pretend), Saturday, 7 July 2012 13:30 (thirteen years ago)
Is Serena wearing a calculator watch??? <3
― I see you, Pineapple Teef (DJP), Saturday, 7 July 2012 13:31 (thirteen years ago)
6-0, 6-0 plz!
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 7 July 2012 13:33 (thirteen years ago)
Three of these four games have actually gone to deuce, ugh
― bitch I'm on the 242 (lex pretend), Saturday, 7 July 2012 13:35 (thirteen years ago)
Man
I knew this would happen but damn
― I see you, Pineapple Teef (DJP), Saturday, 7 July 2012 13:38 (thirteen years ago)
Oh thank god. With an ace too. No Zvereva!
― bitch I'm on the 242 (lex pretend), Saturday, 7 July 2012 13:44 (thirteen years ago)
Very good!
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 7 July 2012 13:44 (thirteen years ago)
lol a missed smash; Serena must be going to sleep.
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 7 July 2012 13:45 (thirteen years ago)
Sure, Radwanska could be at.. uh.. 2-5 or something right now, maybe 3-4. But Serena would just raise her game too.
― neil young & crazy town (edwardo), Saturday, 7 July 2012 13:49 (thirteen years ago)
Haha Chris Evert just made the most aggravated noise when the possibility of Serena matching her Slam total was mentioned
― I see you, Pineapple Teef (DJP), Saturday, 7 July 2012 14:12 (thirteen years ago)
No bagel in this set either. I can relax.
― bitch I'm on the 242 (lex pretend), Saturday, 7 July 2012 14:13 (thirteen years ago)
Chris Evert just said the Williams sisters have dominated tennis for the past 20 years. Um...
― I see you, Pineapple Teef (DJP), Saturday, 7 July 2012 14:17 (thirteen years ago)
Chrissie's finest moment this Wimbledon might have been saying that it was unlikely that the Wim crowd would know who this young Chinese player was about Zheng, the 29-year-old former doubles champ and singles SFist
― bitch I'm on the 242 (lex pretend), Saturday, 7 July 2012 14:19 (thirteen years ago)
finals like these must really sell the women's game to fans all over!
― k3vin k., Saturday, 7 July 2012 14:21 (thirteen years ago)
this mushroom in my backyard has more style than radwanska
― k3vin k., Saturday, 7 July 2012 14:23 (thirteen years ago)
A-Rad matches Ma$ha's performance vs Serena in the AO 07 final.
― bitch I'm on the 242 (lex pretend), Saturday, 7 July 2012 14:28 (thirteen years ago)
Outdoes Ma$ha! And actually played a great point in that game!
― bitch I'm on the 242 (lex pretend), Saturday, 7 July 2012 14:35 (thirteen years ago)
Ahahahaha that call o_0
― bitch I'm on the 242 (lex pretend), Saturday, 7 July 2012 14:44 (thirteen years ago)
A-Rad breaks!!!
She has now done as well as Serena did against Ma$ha in 2004!
― bitch I'm on the 242 (lex pretend), Saturday, 7 July 2012 14:45 (thirteen years ago)
Serena is trolling so hard. The last few games of this match have been hilarious.
― neil young & crazy town (edwardo), Saturday, 7 July 2012 14:49 (thirteen years ago)
Really glad Aga's making this a match. Playing so much better and Serena's obviously tightened up a bit. Hitting deep down the middle to cut off Serena's angles, Lindsay should know something about that tactic...
― bitch I'm on the 242 (lex pretend), Saturday, 7 July 2012 14:49 (thirteen years ago)
serena's getting a little lazy, finding herself in no-man's land right in the middle of the court
― k3vin k., Saturday, 7 July 2012 14:53 (thirteen years ago)
wow those two points were textbook choking from Serena. I expect she'll hit four aces now.
― bitch I'm on the 242 (lex pretend), Saturday, 7 July 2012 14:57 (thirteen years ago)
wow
― dis civilization and its contents (nakhchivan), Saturday, 7 July 2012 14:58 (thirteen years ago)
Does Radwanska seriously have set points lololololololol
― bitch I'm on the 242 (lex pretend), Saturday, 7 July 2012 14:58 (thirteen years ago)
WOW! go radwanska!
― kid steel (cajunsunday), Saturday, 7 July 2012 14:58 (thirteen years ago)
well okay. can't say i saw that coming.
― Merdeyeux, Saturday, 7 July 2012 14:58 (thirteen years ago)
Hmm...
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 7 July 2012 14:59 (thirteen years ago)
My housemate and his girlfriend and I are watching this and our neighbours have just banged on our adjoining wall, most probably because the laughing is keeping them awake. Sorry, Joe and Brittney (sic), you might have another hour of this.
― neil young & crazy town (edwardo), Saturday, 7 July 2012 14:59 (thirteen years ago)
I can't believe Radwanska WON A SET. I can't believe it'll last but I'm just going to revel in it right now. LOL @ Serena choking!
― bitch I'm on the 242 (lex pretend), Saturday, 7 July 2012 14:59 (thirteen years ago)
Last set will be 6-1 but I have no idea who will win
― I see you, Pineapple Teef (DJP), Saturday, 7 July 2012 15:00 (thirteen years ago)
ugh
― dis civilization and its contents (nakhchivan), Saturday, 7 July 2012 15:03 (thirteen years ago)
i really want radwanska to win this now but i wish williams had already won it
― dis civilization and its contents (nakhchivan), Saturday, 7 July 2012 15:04 (thirteen years ago)
unexpected comeback followed by capitulation is the worst sport narrative
