2017 WIMBLEDON

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?

I'm just a gift to the women of this world
Responsibility sits so hard on my shoulder
Like a good wine, I'm better as I grow older

looking forward to the ladies final

Definitely.

Fed has got this unless Cilic plays the match of his life.

That's what I thought at the 2014 US Open when Kei took out Novak. Then Cilic played the match of his life ;)

haha well Fed has made clear improvements. His BH looks a lot better now than maybe in 2014? omg and everything.

I hope, I hope.

This epic men's doubles match semi is strangely devoid of tension. 15-16 in the 5th but practically every game is a hold to love... There hasn't been a break point in 26 games.

And naturally that was end of the match! 17-15, Marach/Pavic will face Kubot/Melo (who only won 9-7 in the 5th, cheapskates).

Well, thank goodness Eltingh/Haarhuis just finished off Castle/Chang - now the final Mixed Doubles QF can get underway*. Seriously, do other Slams make proper tournament events wait for the invitational oldsters to finish what they're doing? Love Martina N obviously, but having her (and Cara Black, Andrea Jaeger, Conchita Martinez) on a showcourt is a bit mad. At least in that case, it's the final match of the day.

(* Pavic probably glad of the rest tbh)

yeah the us open does that bullshit also

gd closeout by cilic there to avoid a tiebreak

how close is rog to getting to #1 if he wins out btw

that berdych error is bruuutal

it wasnt a rally ball it was a winner that 20/20 top players hit and he netted it

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

this! I think that previous time it was also about Serena or Venus.

both of them actually

one of the many reasons i love murray

Bits and pieces of watching some of the games and I've a feeling Muguruza will win. Don't mind, 9-7 on the 3rd set plz.

Does the roof put anyone here at an advantage?

Venus serving 1st: Ace first point; Muguruza 15-15 after a rally

holds. Muguruza starts her service game with a DF

Played fantastic stuff - Venus didn't get another point.

On serve however Muguruza is splaying that FH everywhere rn. Venus keeping the points short.

Hard for Muguruza to win with that forehand.

Astonishing cross court winner from Venus then wastes the BP

Hold.

oh dear missed call and Muguruza was on top. Replay and she wins that with another terrific return

BP Mg

damn, deep 2nd serve to save

now DF back to deuce
