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

in the coaches box...Grin

So Federer V Djokovic, 2014.

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

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)BrewWine

Envy I've never seen any of them in the flesh, I've always lived in the wrong part of the country.

One day, I will go to Wimbledon

Raahh cheeky Wink

Provencalroseparadox · 06/07/2014 14:50

Some of the rallies have been wonderful. Five setter I think.

It's wonderful Elephants. Even if you have a ground pass it's a lovely day out.

Raahh · 06/07/2014 14:51

It's very sad, because the tournament in Didsbury was a big pre Wimbledon one for years, then it gradually got down graded, and not isn't on anymore. I lots of big stars there. It was a good chance to get to see players, if you didn't live in the south.

20 years since my one and only Wimbledon tripSad
