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)

I am giving in to DH and watching the race. But have decided to put on the live stream for the tennis (on mute) so we can watch both at once. Oh yeah.

Is quite amazing after his early loss last year, and rubbish form (and injury) that Roger is in the final again.

Sesame Street Count Yes The jacket and shirt don't help.

What's with all the uniformed people?

COME ON ROGER !

And they both look all shiny in their whites.

Roooaaaaaaaarrrrr!

Hopefully we have a good crowd today.

Go Nathan!

Well Victoria Beckham is there, bet she will throw herself wholeheartedly into the match.

She may even eat a fraction of a strawberry.

I think a lot of people are thinking as a many of us are- that Fed will win, and then retirement may beckon.

Or not.

Ahhhh, Stefan.

It's a pity Fed's girls aren't there- they always look so cute.

32 is no longer old, though is it?

Feds clan may be brought out later.

I dunno about him retiring you know ? I think it would be great for him if he won to go out on a high, but if as he has said all tournament that he is still loving playing, will he retire ? Perhaps not.

I would hate to see him fade away losing in early rounds though.

Here we go !

First Slam final without Nadal or Murray in 4 years.

Hello I am here. Injured so stuck on the sofa

I want Novak to win

Crowd with Roger ! Goodo !

Or should that be good-o ?!

GOOD point!!

Phew.

Come on Roger!

I love Jim asking Tim questions- like his game was ever anywhere close to standard of Fed

Yeah, but to be fair to Tim he does know his tennis.

I bet AC feels inferior sat in that box

Yep- AC must be desperate to join in, like an annoying younger sibling

Djok not blinked so far. Fed seems to need to settle a bit

It has gone very dark here.

Bright sunshine here right now
