WIMBLEDON MEN'S FINAL- Will it be gr8 for Federer, or a trio of triumphs for Djokovoc?

[Raahh]

So, here we are again- deja vu, all over again. Tomorrow it will be-

Fed v Djok.

Becker v Edberg.

I'm thinking it might be the Synth's year- but Djok has had a very good tournament. Of course 'but RG will be playing on his mind' will be on the lips of all the commentators, but I'm not sure about that.

Ready? Play!

[Raahh]

pfft- and as usual, a lovely typo in the title.

Djokovic, of course. Sorry, Novak

Could be worse, could have put DjikDjok.

[DramaAlpaca]

Marking place . Thanks for new thread, Raahh.

[HenriettaTurkey]

Fed in 4.

Nobody watching the ladies doubles? It's fantastic.

[trixymalixy]

Although WTF is with the net in all the tennis outfits this year? That Russian's dress is hideous!

[DramaAlpaca]

Could be a classic final tomorrow. They are both playing so well. I'm not a fan of either so hope to enjoy a great match without wanting anyone in particular to win. If pushed I'm probably Team Fed. Just.

[Raahh]

Drama-I'm not really a fan of either, but am team Fed, for the Stefan factor.

I might have some alcohol left

[Raahh]

trixy- the net is odd, isn't it? Doesn't look right at all.

I am watching the ladies doubles now, although it seems they're trying to squeeze a bit of the highlights show in, while they are closing the roof. You forget what a truly talented, thinking tennis player Martina Hingis is. Nobody plays like that any more....

[Raahh]

Hingis did have such a bright future- it all just seemed to fall apart. I heard Sue saying earlier that Hingis was the one who was talked about, as having the massive potential, multiple slam winner....and then along came Venus and Serena. Martina has had her problems- it's good to see her back.

[GrouchyKiwi]

Thanks for the thread, Raahh.

Am watching the Women's Doubles final. It's great. Hingis certainly is brilliant.

[YonicScrewdriver]

I'm a djok supporter but think it could be Fed's year. Would be a good match with Serena as they are the same age!

[annandale]

When I see hingis it makes me think of seles. As an adult I can't quite believe what happened to her.

[Raahh]

No, anna neither can I. It was pretty scary- I think Seles would have gone on to win a lot more. He attacker got what he wanted

[GrouchyKiwi]

Oh wow! What a final set!

Makes me a bit sniffly to see Hingis winning again. And yay for Mirza. They're both so smiley.

[Raahh]

It's all coming to an end. I hate the end of Wimbledon, it effectively signals the end of the tournaments I can 'watch', for a while.

Just realised that the US Open is also a week later this year- I did wonder if delaying Wimbledon would have a knock on effect.

[Raahh]

I didn't get chance to watch Stooopid red button.

Well done to Hingis and Mirza!

[GrouchyKiwi]

DH and I just looked up the prize money. Blinking heck. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Championships,_Wimbledon#Trophies_and_prize_money

[PinkPopPony]

Checking in .
Really enjoyed the ladies doubles - probably the most enjoyable match for me this year.


Raah you could always come over to the TdF thread and watch the Pelaton next week Allez!

[PinkPopPony]

That was meant to have a on the end !

[DramaAlpaca]

Yes, well done Hingis & Mirza - great match

[Waltons]

Ladies doubles the most exciting final so far by a long chalk!

[Raahh]

I don't understand cycling- since it seems to involve a lot more than just getting for A to B ! [bicycle]
