of COURSE my stream froze on championship point. I was rooting for Nole but well done Stan. Great match.
― Roz, Sunday, 7 June 2015 16:27 (nine years ago) link
Something Mauresmo-esque about this win. First Slam unexpected and comes, for many, with an asterisk re: an injured, more-accomplished player. Second Slam erases all doubts with a brilliant display in the final - and denies a dominant player the one Slam they're missing...

One daughter hacked off, one daughter delighted at victory of "Wear-pinka". Both want to go to the park with rackets. Let dad's heart rate come down a bit more, yeah?

Ironic if this moment makes crowds finally love him, maybe the thing he's craved even more than Slam titles
― lex pretend, Sunday, 7 June 2015 16:42 (nine years ago) link
Some heavy emotion here.
All this and Guga too (think his final vs Norman might be the most nerve-shredding RG men's title match I can recall before today... Gaudio-Coria perhaps, for different reasons).

Quick, we need Courier-translate.

LOL @ ES commentators attempting to argue that someone else being able to hit through Djokovic will make Murray more confident about doing so

Roll of honour:
Men's singles: Stan WawrinkaWomen's singles: Serena WilliamsMen's doubles: Ivan Dodig & Marcelo MeloWomen's doubles: Bethanie Mattek-Sands & Lucie SafarovaMixed doubles: Bethanie Mattek-Sands & Mike BryanBoys' singles: Tommy PaulGirls' singles: Paula Badosa GibertBoys' doubles: Alvaro Lopez San Martin & Jaume MunarGirls' doubles: Miriam Kolodziejova & Marketa Vondrousova
I saw a bit of the juniors while I was out there: Vondrousova was top girls' seed and was a very fitting warm-up for Safarova - tall, big-hitting lefty. Boys' finalist Taylor Harry Fritz managed to turn the crowd against him in his QF against a Chilean player - he was dominating, but after a couple of good winners he had this habit of turning to his opponent with this smarmy shit-eating grin on his face. Not edifying.

Not having a French Open will hurt far more. Bet Becker isn't as criticised as Mauresmo would've been had Murray lost today. Their partnership is in question as I think its reasonable to think Djoko would've won Wimbledon against Fed (D's final set rec is terrific as you pointed out from the stats) and Murray lost it by himself in the Aussie open.
This wasn't the fail as it was against Kei, but still...should be a fascinating Wimbledon.

Sorry I mean he would've won anyway - Becker or not.

I'm still surprised Kevin Anderson is a top 20 player. He was 24 before he won a round in a Slam.
