2017 WIMBLEDON

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

lol ace

holds in the end

Good final so far - on serve.

Muguruza has to serve to stay in the 1st set.

Astonishing rally with BH winner form Venus, taking it by the scruff of the neck

Two SPs Venus.

rally of the match and is just one point! One more BP to go

SP

Saves both - deuce

Stands up tall. On we go, terrific.

Now a BP Muguruza

oh my lord what a fucking FH

fucking god rally #2 to break

just so much hard-hitting. Muguruza to serve for the set

poor at the net: 0-15

Venus' FH hasn't been all that great either. 15 all

wtf what a get, Venus in control then the defensive lob lands in the corner

2 SPs

1 sp - Venus makes sure this time
