WIMBY THREAD 4 YOUNG PUPS GO FOR IT

Week 2 Quarter Finals Day

Ready ?

Play !

Boring for fans, but good for believing he can win the tournament. His earlier matches were a bit more interesting.

DH thinks Raonic has been offered generous funds if he 'lets' Roger win.

Just asked "when did Roger last make the final of anywhere ?" !

I've just said we reckon its his swan song.

He maintains its pre-arranged !

I haven't missed much have I?

We have been spoilt by R and R. A lot of the finals that haven't involved one or other of them, have been quite dull. Last year's final wasn't that great- Djok rarely turned up. I'm sure Murray fans would disagree, but as a spectacle of great tennis it fell very short.

I will be on Edberg's Fed's side on Sunday. I hope it will be 5 sets, but as I'm not really that bothered by who wins, it will feel very flat.

Not watching as at a picnic. Not much cop then?

This match is very disappointing, boring even.

I think Fed will beat Djok on Sunday, he's playing better than Djok did.

Raonic is picking up a bit here- but he can't rely on his serve, as Fed is one of the games best returners.

It feels a bit flat, now that we know Grigor will not be in the final.

I want Fed to win on Sunday, end his career on a big high, winning what is in many ways, his tournament.

And Nadal retains the number one spor

Spot not spor

Not at all, provencal. Picnic sounds good !

Agree, Drama.

I have no idea if he will retire, I just have a feeling if he wins he will. Can imagine him saying to Sue "what better way to bow out" and the crowd going "WTF ?!"

And we will all post simultaneously "we knew !"

That does it. Novak HAS to lose Sunday. Vested interest now.

Are we all meeting here to be bored to tears ?

It'll be over soon. Not sure Fed is going to lose this service game.

I think Tim and Jimmy gave up ages ago trying to be interesting...

Ace.

That's it.

What crappy semis.

I miss Rafa

Match point.

This hasn't been pre-arranged, has it ?

I love Federer, but I'm not sure about this change to clinical boring tennis. When was Roger ever boring to watch?

Yep - I will watch. i have to watch. It's traditional. I might not be as fussed by the outcome as i might have been. It's been 3 years since I cared about the final

I'd hoped after Murray and Nadal being knocked out that the final would be different.
Still I took the opportunity to go the shop as there was no one there (Germany playing right now) and stocked up on gin and assorted crap.

I know, Rafa.

Leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Perhaps if its over that quickly they'll show the '08 final.

Raahh

Same here.

I'll meet you here then. If its that crap we can always talk Rafa.

I think having to block a serve that reaches ridiculous speeds makes Roger look dull.

It was not helped by the commentary. I love listening to Jimmy Connors, he is very knowledgeable and isn't AC. But his lovely voice can be a tad soporific

Perhaps I'll bring the 08 final up on Youtube and watch that instead.

I'm up for discussing 'what would Rafa do?' at regular intervals.

Ooh yes, Rafa ! What a great idea. We could start a thread and really confuse people !

I might just get drunk

I'm glad you are looking forward to it, Sue.
