WIMBLEDON 2014: It's Ladies' Singles Final! Bouchard v Kvitova- Battle of the Plaits!

[Raahh]

I was so worried about my bloody apostrophes, I started this thread 3 times.

I thought it started at 1pm.

it doesn't

Just getting stuff ready for a a BBQ for later

Why are they closing the roof?

What a very, very strange thing to do.

Why are they closing the roof? Is it about to rain?

I know DuPain - the title is longer

We might have to ask MNHQ to change the title so we can use it for the men as well!

They might be worrying about rain- but will the ceremony take longer than the 20 minutes it takes to shut the roof?

Bouchard will be back- I think she is mentally tougher than some of the younger players.

I wouldn't want that man's job. I would spell something wrong.

Me thinks the roof could have been closed for the match as the wind is quite strong today maybe that disturbed Bouchard's play!

Do we get an interval act? Riverdance? Murray Montage?

Pulled- no, I think Petra was just too good.

But the Bouchard Camp might mention the wind

What an anti-climax

I think they are closing the roof because rain is forecast and they want to get the next match underway as soon as they can after the presentation ceremony. There are two finals to follow this match.

It does seem very odd! Maybe they just want to show off the technology

Well there's definitely plenty of room on the thread for tomorrow! Unless we all watch, and wildly comment on, Sock and Popsock later

Blimey. Kvitova played so strongly and totally dominated Bouchard. Really didn't expect that.

I think the next two matches have potential to be better than this was- but fair play to Kvitova, she was strong right from the off.

Oh I see Drama, that would make more sense.

I like the fact they built a little gate so the winners don't have to climb over that roof bit to get to their families.

I never tire of mentioning Jack Sock.

I have little opinion of his actual game, though

All i know about Popsock is he seems to be scared of Wawrinka- twice, he has pulled out of matches he was due to play against him

Petra definitely played better.....just clutching at straws for an excuse

There is murder behind Genie's eyes....

I don't see why the women should get the same prize money as the men. Fair enough if they played 5 sets.

£1 760 000 for under an hour isn't bad going.

DA :o Nicely done.

Lesley- is is ridiculous, isn't t- however much you try to spin it- they train as hard, etc etc. Tomorrow's match is unlikely to be less than 2 hours at the very least.

And it's a bloody lot of money for that!

Found you. Doesn't look like I missed much.

There is murder behind Genie's eyes Oh yes.

Aww, happy birthday David.

Rafa- nope. You have missed little.

We spent longer discussing Jack Sock than the match.
