WIMBLEDON 2014

YES! So pleased for Kerber!

No-one is more surprised than me that the two matches I've enjoyed most this year (this and RG final) have both featured Sharapova.

astonishing game

FUCK YOU GRUNTING ASSHOLE :D :D :D :D

tbrr that was one of the best matches I've ever seen from both players tho

omg that was beautiful uh xposts

Kazak tennis down, German tennis up.

Shitty loss

Shittier because the stats are positive

Just saw a clip of Stan and Feliciano shaking hands so guess that was all ok after all?

Halep/Kvitova final anyone?

xp I rewatched - they shook hands and then had their little set-to

Nishikori throws his racket down as he loses the breaker in the 3rd against raonic

Women's QFs:

(13) Eugenie Bouchard vs. (9) Angelique Kerber
(3) Simona Halep vs. (19) Sabine Lisicki
(23) Lucie Safarova vs. (22) Ekaterina Makarova
(6) Petra Kvitova vs. Barbora Zahlavova-Strycova

Safarova already has MPs...

...and takes the first. Just a month removed from losing R1 in an ITF challenger to Ekaterina Alexandrova, Safarova is a Slam SFist...

:)

CZE finalist assured!

she sounded pretty Happy To Be There in that post match interview

So Wawrinka saved 3 SPs in the 2nd set tie-break.

what with all the args, this guy isn't messing around.

Come on you Czechs!

Wawrinka took umbrage with Lopez's chuntering during the third set and asked the umpire to tell him to stop, which led to much finger-pointing at the net after the match. It's been a tetchy day, hasn't it. If this is what the sun does to people, bring back the rain I say.

Kerber-Sharapova was extraordinary. I mean, I loathe the huuugggggely extended screams that come from MS when she's in a corner, but, blimey, I'm not sure anyone goes for the lines like she does break-/set-/match-point down, save possibly Djokovic.

Kyrgios bombed a 2nd serve ace.

Want Nadal to not get anywhere near another Wimbledon title but I might Nadal dismantling this guy even more.

Kyrgios has hit several stunning winners so far. His strategy is obviously to try rosoling the hell out of the match...

Nadal survives the barrage of several BPs to a breaker

Nadal fends off two SPs, one a return that missed by mms.

Something wrong with Serena - had the doctor on for an extended time after the warm-up, took the court anyway, could barely hit the ball, at 0-2 served four straight DFs, then retired.

I know it's Canada Day, but Raonic beat Kei? Really?

1st real UE from K but he is 4-1 up

4-2, if Nadal wins the next one we'll find out how good K really is today.

Kei went five sets with Bolelli, on the couple of times I dipped in today the commentators said there was something wrong with him physically (AGAIN). Sucks.

Oh he was good, disguise and an ace: 3 SPs

Kei had blisters or something?

K to serve..

with an ace - didn't blink.

TB wasn't even a surprise. Kyrgios has been dominant and Nadal hasn't really shown much today.

Seeing Serena in tears now..

I have a feeling that Nadal wins in four, loses the first set to Raonic, wins in four, then frustratingly fails to lose any sets to Federror. (I mean, right now, Roger is clearly playing better stuff, but it never works like that when they meet).

^^this, sadly.

Sounds entirely probable

I could actually see Kyrgios winning though, that's how good he's been

Of course, Fed could dip tomorrow vs Stan, but, purely selfishly, I have way too much on my plate at work at the moment to endure a Fedal semi on Friday. Best that it just doesn't happen.

WHAT DID YOU SEE THAT KYRGIOS WINNER WHAT

:D

Kyrgios, everyone: https://vine.co/v/MFYKPlIYBMd

wow. can't wait to try that one out.

Side-eyeing tomorrow's schedule for putting Kerber/Bouchard on first at 12 after Kerber had an epic match today while Bouchard had a day off

Haaaaa you don't see Nadal getting faked out too often. Kyrgios has brains/creativity/touch as well as power. And that was a big point.

holy shit at that baseline tweener

:(((

nice to see a young player come out of nowhere and make a serious run. the men's game is in serious need of some fun young players

plays FAST too
