WIMBLEDON MEN'S FINAL- Will it be gr8 for Federer, or a trio of triumphs for Djokovoc?

So, here we are again- deja vu, all over again. Tomorrow it will be-

Fed v Djok.

Becker v Edberg.

I'm thinking it might be the Synth's year- but Djok has had a very good tournament. Of course 'but RG will be playing on his mind' will be on the lips of all the commentators, but I'm not sure about that.

Ready? Play!

pfft- and as usual, a lovely typo in the title.

Djokovic, of course. Sorry, NovakGrin

Could be worse, could have put DjikDjok.

Fed in 4.

Nobody watching the ladies doubles? It's fantastic.

trixymalixy · 11/07/2015 20:37

Although WTF is with the net in all the tennis outfits this year? That Russian's dress is hideous!

DramaAlpaca · 11/07/2015 20:40

Could be a classic final tomorrow. They are both playing so well. I'm not a fan of either so hope to enjoy a great match without wanting anyone in particular to win. If pushed I'm probably Team Fed. Just.

Raahh · 11/07/2015 20:44

Drama-I'm not really a fan of either, but am team Fed, for the Stefan factor.

I might have some alcohol left Grin

trixy- the net is odd, isn't it? Doesn't look right at all.

I am watching the ladies doubles now, although it seems they're trying to squeeze a bit of the highlights show in, while they are closing the roof. You forget what a truly talented, thinking tennis player Martina Hingis is. Nobody plays like that any more....

Raahh · 11/07/2015 20:58

Hingis did have such a bright future- it all just seemed to fall apart. I heard Sue saying earlier that Hingis was the one who was talked about, as having the massive potential, multiple slam winner....and then along came Venus and Serena. Martina has had her problems- it's good to see her back.

Thanks for the thread, Raahh.

Am watching the Women's Doubles final. It's great. Hingis certainly is brilliant.

YonicScrewdriver · 11/07/2015 21:07

I'm a djok supporter but think it could be Fed's year. Would be a good match with Serena as they are the same age!

annandale · 11/07/2015 21:08

When I see hingis it makes me think of seles. As an adult I can't quite believe what happened to her.

Raahh · 11/07/2015 21:14

No, anna neither can I. It was pretty scary- I think Seles would have gone on to win a lot more. He attacker got what he wanted Sad

Oh wow! What a final set!

Makes me a bit sniffly to see Hingis winning again. And yay for Mirza. They're both so smiley.

It's all coming to an end. I hate the end of Wimbledon, it effectively signals the end of the tournaments I can 'watch', for a while.

Just realised that the US Open is also a week later this year- I did wonder if delaying Wimbledon would have a knock on effect.

Well done to Hingis and Mirza!

Checking in .
Really enjoyed the ladies doubles - probably the most enjoyable match for me this year.

Raah you could always come over to the TdF thread and watch the Pelaton next week Bike Allez!

PinkPopPony · 11/07/2015 21:38

That was meant to have a Wink on the end !

DramaAlpaca · 11/07/2015 21:40

Yes, well done Hingis & Mirza - great match Tennis

Waltons · 11/07/2015 21:44

Ladies doubles the most exciting final so far by a long chalk!
