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)

Think this might be Novak's set

I bet Roger is a teeny bit more podgy than taut in places these days...

MrsV- he's had 2 sets of twins, you know

Nooooooo! I need something for my nerves

Boris looks strained...

Yes, Rafa for sex, Federer for conversation

I didn't realise he was a medical marvel as well as tennis player !

Yy Ele but you'd still need a paper bag or to close your eyes.

Lets face it, if Rafa wasn't a tennis player he would look like a smarmy Spaniard who needs a scrub.

Would wrap my legs round his neck/waist quite happily, or be a doggy, though.

Hmm I think maybe Grigor for sex, and Jack Sock for a fun night out.

Poor Tim, and the ball girl incident.

I remember he got her flowers.

Grigor is a bit too young for me.

I think I would feel a bit like a cougar.

Awww, Rafa is cute!

Awww, bless Tim.

Rafa is probably too young for me, really.

But I'd give it a go

Tim got disqualified

Raahh I was going to say same. They are all too young for me really. Edberg for sex??

88 final was fab - I'd seen both of them play as juniors in 85 (6 months before Becker won Wimbledon) and Edberg was adorable. I loved him ever after and was never keen on Becker but today I'm in the opposite camp. Federer is a beautiful player to watch but I really like Novak and since he's had a bad run lately I think it's important for him to win today. He's had several good chances in the first set and not quite pulled them off but I'm keep my fingers crossed.

I was thrilled at the ladies' result and am hoping for a double.

Not really, Raahh.

He has a sweet smile but he's not good looking really is he ?

Men always do terrible sex faces, anyway.

Rafa- it was quite funny at the time. And ironic, given the fact Jeff Tarango, his opponent, was probably one of the worst behaved players EVER

I was meant to marry Stefan.

He just never knew.

Rafa's not too young for you, Raahh. Only 14 years isn't it ?

That's experience.

I have never fancied Becker at at all- used to blow on his fingers. It was very -ewwww.

MrsV- you are right.

I like a man who can catch his own fish.

Why do the BBC keep doing those shots of the crowds/vague celebs/fuck knows who in the 2.5 seconds between shots?

It's making me dizzy.

I don't get AC's obsession with Feds 4 children .If he was a female player, it would be interesting. But not a bloke.

And Lendl has 5 daughters or something, doesn't he?
