WIMBLEDON 2014

Novak to lose this now altogether?

I've rarely been as surprised at a tennis twist

So it is...

MY TELEVISION JUST TURNED ITSELF OFF AND WON"T GO BACK ON FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK

Fifth set! And Djokovic takes a bathroom break...

24 games apiece going into the 5th.

Important routine hold for Djokovic. If he loses this from that position it will be worse than all his recent Slam flops combined

Fed takes 5th set 27-25

Djokovic holds again, but his body language isn't looking good

That 30-15 rally was encouraging from Djokovic.

Ruh-roh. BP Fed

BP Fed. Nole looks gassed.

saved

Brad Gilbert ‏@bgtennisnation 49s
We have lost @ChrissieEvert she is about to blow a Gasquet on every point right now

...do you want to rephrase this tweet Brad?

haha

omg lol

guuuuuhhhhhh

PASS! BPs!!!

Both saved -_-

Another great pass, another BP...

So tense...

aghajhkjshklassla

Huuuge hold for Fed

Gahhhh missed smash into the net

Best I've seen Roger serve since ....... Damn it

haaaaaaa

I love when I see these guys dump into the net, makes me feel better about my own playing.

Great now Shankerer's here

Djokovic hustling and hustling. Shankerer!

Stop challenging Nole you are terrible at it today

Two more MPs.

Pheewwwww....

YASSSS

Wow. Great match.

Excellent - so happy for D

Always sucks to see someone fight their way back and then lose when on-serve in their own service game

Gutted. I mean, happy that Nole finally broke his Slam losing streak but why did it have to be here and against Roger? ;_;

And fantastic last hurrah from Fed - that 4th set will live w/me for a long time.

Seriously wondering if this is Fed's last final.

Becker celebrating in the players' box is the most sickening part of this whole thing.

I'm gutted. But that was one of great finals.

Feel ya Roz, but Novak came out w/magic, magic returns.

Nole needed this so much more, even aside from the MP drama. So, so pleased his Slam drought is over.

Let's hope the CC crowd appreciates Petra and Nole a little more next time they play finals here, eh. Not impressed by the lack of support for them.

There's a...pineapple...on top of the...trophy now? Has that always been there?

first classic men's slam final in a long time

The trophy for the men's singles at Wimbledon is one of the most recognizable in sport and dates back to 1887. The magnificent gold cup stands 18 1/2 inches high and has a diameter of 7 1/2 inches, but the eagle-eyed might notice the pineapple design which adorns the top of the lid. A spokesperson for the Wimbledon museum told CNN that information remains scarce about the origins of the actual cup. She offered the explanation that it could date back to the tradition where captains in the British navy coming back from sea put a pineapple on the gateposts of their home.

or

Back in the 17th century, it was a highly sought-after commodity. It was very rare (in England) and therefore very expensive, and was the crowning fruit of only the most lush feasts; a symbol of significant wealth. If you attended a dinner party back in the 1600s and there was pineapple on the table, you could consider yourself very honoured indeed.

re: lack of support. Its mixed in with people wanting matches to go all the way more than anything (although of course people pay a lot for a tkt).
