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

[Raahh]

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!

Oh, Raahh (((hug)))

We'll do it all again next year. Cheer up.

Oh I get to see more of the Aussie, because early-ish mornings are much easier to watch than late nights/very early hours.

And the Tour Finals before that will be televised (everything crossed that Rafa will be there).

I fell asleep & missed the end

I did rewind & watch last 30 mins - Djok was just sensational. I would like Roger to win number 8 at Wimbledon but Novak really deserved to win.

Thanks for letting me gatecrash the thread today & making me feel welcome.

You're welcome.

It has been a very tennis packed 6-7 weeks, or whatever it is since the start of the French.

The dcs want the tv back

Yay, Raahh

Crossing everything for Rafa.

It doesn't usually go like that, sorry if I ruined things. Love chatting tennis with anyone.

Hope to see you on other tennis threads. We kind of keep the threads going talking about the inanities of life without it.

Its been brilliant, Raahh.

on the commentary for the wheelchair match, someone has just said they can see shadows.

I thought he meant Hank Marvin!

is he still alive?

Lol

It was the lady yelling "stop hitting it in the net".

Took me a second to realise she was shouting at herself.

BONUS! The other Martina on Centre Court, and she is obviously thrilled to little bits to be there.

Live on the BBC website if you need to know where to find it.

Thanks Waltons. My old laptop too slow to cope.

Wonder how Goran did in his match ?

One of the vommentators earlier in the week said Rafa might not make it to the ATP finals

Will try to catch some of the Davis cup next week though.

Ooh. Just found Martina N on red button 2. Goody !

I know, Tobikko. Top 10 only. Lets hope he has a good Flushing Meadows and can be in the top 10.

If not, here's to a healthier, happier Rafa in 2016.

Tobikko- where he stands now, he won't. But all the vommentators hate him, anyway. He can gain about 4-5000 points before November,in theory, based on the tournaments he is due to play. I'm usually a glass half empty kind of gal, but Vamos Rafa!

^ wot she said.

Goran won...think it was on earlier as saw pic on Twitter....

Yep - Goran won - great match, lots of fun. but the "first to 10 tiebreak" at the end is still weird. Can't get used to it.

Glad you found Martina, MrsVamos! Not going well at the moment - broken in the first game. May see the silly tiebreak again at this rate.

Yes, brain not working, guess Rafa will drop from world #10 post Wimby

Yes, agree that none of the vommentators like anyone apart from SynthFed or Murray

Tobikko- he just clings onto top 10 this week- but had Simon got any further, he would have dropped a place.

I am very geeky, and spend a lot of time working things out on this site

not at all obsessed

Oh brilliant for Goran !

I'm sorry I was so snippy earlier. Heat of the moment but I shouldn't have snapped or been rude to you.

Please accept my apologies and a virtual bunch . Or would you prefer ?

Enjoying Martina ! Don't quite get why someone just shouted "go on Rafa" ?!

He's clearly very much missed.

Yay! For Goran!

I Love goran so happy he won
Rafa has to be top 10 I'm going to the O2 and it just wouldn't be the same without him.

Forgot to say, that the actual rankings don't always follow the ATP Race - where Rafa is currently 8th- so it's not all bad.

Looks like Heather will be 51 from the live rankings site. Thought she might climb into the top 50 but she'll just miss it.
