WIMBLEDON 1988- Men's Singles Final- It's Edberg v Becker...

[Raahh]

in the coaches box...

So Federer V Djokovic, 2014.

Gutted it isn't Nadal, or Grigor. Glad it isn't Murray, we might get more balanced commentary.

I think Federer may have it- and will be able to play a better game than against the big serving Raonic.

But Djok is hurting from the number of GS losses
He has only played Fed on grass once. At Wimbledon. He lost.
If the roof goes on, Fed is better indoors too.

I want a 5 set thriller, because I don't care who wins really. I am refusing to move form the sofa. My children will go to school Monday wearing pyjamas, and with a bag of crisps for lunch.

I am sticking with Virgin Pimms (a.k.a Peppermint tea)

Rafa, Dimitrov, Monfils, Li na (altho she says she has an injury) all pulling out of pre open tournaments with 'injuries'.

bit always happens JUST before a GS tournament. every one.

commonwealth games is brilliant atm. nebver watched then before but filling the void. lovin the diving and the squash.

Sky sports beginning the run ups next week.

(I didn't see the ball on the list- so was just checking).

So, if we keep really, really quiet ....

Well, Raonic is continuing his march up the rankings.

Congrats to him .

But still sad there will be no Rafa next week

And Dogs isn't there either!

Some interesting matches in the Roger's cup today- and in the middle of the night, Novak and Stan have teamed up for doubles!

and Andys keeping Mauresmo on for now.

It's been raining in Toronto. But Kyrgios has just very narrowly beaten Giraldo in the first set. Gulbis is on the way to winning his first set.

Nice to be able to refresh score again

wow. well done andy, seriously thought Kyrios would have put up more of a fight.

Raah wheres everyone else gone????! its you and I atm!

Still here. Other stuff seems to have got in the way a bit.

See the are still here too.

It is a bit of a lull at the moment, before the US open, and i'm finding it hard to keep up because of the hols.

Bret Murray is relieved to get that match under his belt- he didn't do so well during this period last year, he will be wanting to improve on that.

I think the might be permanent- they didn't bother getting rid when they removed all the CG emoticons.

But I am probably wrong and it will go pfffft now

After the aftermath of Wimby it does calm down a bit doesn't it, but I love the American hard court season and the lead up to the US Open then the Shanghai and Paris masters then O2 finals.

really hoping to get tickets this year to the Albert hall for the legends.

would love to see Leconte and Bahrami play.

We got them back for the US last year didn't we. Hopefully we will get to keep them until at least then.

The ATP site has the Wawrinka/Anderson match still playing.

The updated life rankings has Stan as the winner and through to the next round already.

A mistake, or an over-enthusiatic Stan fan?

And Anderson is the actual winner.

Tsonga has beaten Djok in his first set. That's a bit of a turn up. This used to be one of Novak's best tournaments, he'll be gutted to go out now.

Think there is something wrong with Djok- the scoreline doesn't look good at all.

And the rankings site is being sabotaged again- this time it thinks Murray has won a match that isn't due to start until the Djok match finishes.

Ahh, it would appear Gasquet has retired.

Tsonga playing Murray- I'd love him to repeat his game over Djok (but it was sure an easy win, I suspect something is wrong with Djok). Unless Jo-Willy has some magic medicine

Woo hoo! Jo-Willy!

And Kevin Anderson is currently winning against Grigor.- C'mon Grigor!

And Happy Birthday! Rog!

Hi there, Raahh!

Thought I'd pop on to say hello so you're not talking to yourself all evening

Happy birthday Roger! Wonder if he'll get his 16th (?) win over the Spanish Terrier today? I suspect he will.

Typical Murray today. Getting a break in sets 2 & 3 then tamely losing his serve. He can be so frustrating to watch.

Grigor looks like he's might be starting to get the upper hand here - at least he was until just now. Go Grigor!
