2017 WIMBLEDON

serve!

held well in the end.

More holds: 8-8

Astonishing stuff. Nadal kept trying to chip away from 40-15 down, goes on to earn two BPs, this one just inside the line.

Muller resisting.

omg at the net, one more BP Nadal

and yet one more - phenomenal coverage.

jesus, called for BP, corrected (it was right) - another serve.

Ace!

amazing for muller - hope he can win this. How did he resist there?

Hawkeye at his best. Nadal might've felt cheated there, but the challenge clears any doubts.

We go on..

0-30 now..

fkn hell that deep FH. Muller a bit shy there though

now for the winner, spoke too soon! MP..

bah, he was never going to lose that

fucking hate the fist-pumping, just lose and fuck off

excellent play from Muller - one more MP

fuck please

lol i mean can you try to be properly aggressive

shit DP

ok that was a gorgeous angle at the net for Nadal to hold - urge to kill momentarily fades.

10-10

0-30 again, attacking at the net

Muller shitting himself again. I should just to dinner.

lmao

wtf was that, like swatting a fly..

I'm hungry, won't someone give Muller a spine?

jesus, finally.

Think Muller bored him to death. On to lose the next round in straight sets.

They'll be dancing in the streets of Schifflange

lol

Has Luxembourg ever had a better month in sport?

Just went looking for the "like" button for that, then realised I wasn't on Facebook.

God almighty, do I hope Rybarikovw puts Vandeweghe out of everyone's misery.

Venus is looking spry, and Muguruza seems to be awake, too.

rip andy

I watched the fourth set, it was BRUTAL

Has Querrey turned a corner? It seems like he is showing a lot more consistency over the past twelve months.

i swear the third set tiebreaker just ended and when i next looked up querrey was up 3-1 in the fifth

idk abt a lot more consistency, tho he played great @ acapulco earlier this yr; getting to a slam semi is great tho obv

too many dudes wearing headbands

nice that we'll get some fresh blood in the finals in either cilic or quer

lol so this is shaping up p good for fed

Well Cilic has won the US Open so not exactly fresh.

Such an awful tournament on the men's side.

Terrific:

wow 2012 querrey/cilic played a 3d rd match that went to 17-15 in the 5th (cilic won)

That press conference question… I mean, come on. Not that I expect Serena to be brought up as a player on the men's tour but it's really fucking easy to give your question enough context so it doesn't seem like you're pretending one of if not THE greatest female player ever isn't still dominating the conversation at this tournament while she's out expecting her first child.

greatest female athlete ever prob

hasn't that exact same thing happened before with murray?

i think so yea @ the olympics iirc

Plus Venus made the women's semis literally the day before.

Murray's like the Lou Reed of tennis.

His shit is worth other people's diamonds?

Easy UEs to hand the next game. I hope she can re-group. There is a bit of time.

One more BP..

Double break!

4-0, and its now 0-15..

5-0. People going on about tiredness but Muguruza's play is awesome to watch. Ruthless - to serve for the Championship.

Played so great. Venus did go walkabout on that 2nd set.

Such a bizarre set.

and a sad to see.

thoroughly deserved but winning on a challenge is so weird

Garbine Muguruza is the first player to beat both Venus and Serena Williams in a Grand Slam final.

Genny SS‏ @genny_ss 6m6 minutes ago

Conchita the first woman to win Wimbledon as a player and as a coach

Bit of a weird atmosphere as Venus crumbled. Shame. Well done Garbine though!

Mug was great. Sad for Venus.

Venus is such a class act though <3

rooting for marin bc fed worshipping is the worst

gratuitous contrarianism will get you nowhere, cmon fed

This is not really one of the great finals is it?

pretty boring tournament

Feel like the injury completely killed the match as a spectacle but you can't begrudge him that.

that was shite

fed goat, no sets dropped

yea not a great tourney tbh

was on a plane / in transit for entirety of that match so i am feeling very pleased rn

So glad I missed this - just horrible on the men's side.

Women's tennis is in much better shape rn.

i watched for like half an hour and it was dismal sure but not fed's fault and i'd rather there was one man playing that well than closely-fought mediocrity
