Roger is not great at challenges.

The grass eating irritates me, every time. I just hope the sniffer dogs (I'm sure they have them) have had a wee on that bit.

I enjoyed Djok's smug "you can all fuck off" face Grin

The statue of Fred Perry made me laugh, when I saw it at Wimbledon. I always thought it was life size. It's not Grin.

I'm a bit happier with where the pundits have placed this match. (Still think it's too high, though, and is there purely for 'First British winner for ages ' reasons rather than because it was in anyway a great match).

Yes, I'm not Djok fan (I don't like Fed either), but the crowd were not on is side- for all Roger moaning that he couldn't hear the line calls! It was because the crowd were cheering or him!

Afternoon Tennis

I did laugh at the pigeon commentary Grin it's getting like those repeats of the Jo Konta RG semi final where we've seen it so many times we know the commentary! Grin

I couldn't bear to see lovely smiley Pat Rafter lose in 2000 - again! Same for Andy Roddick.

I'm also a bit surprised that 2013 wasn't 1 or 2.

Surely 2008 will be top?? I voted 2001 though Grin

Raahh · 12/07/2020 15:42

SPOILER ALERT* (Don't look Jane) Grin

It's number 2 on the online vote, Private- but way behind the 2008 final, percentage wise. I don't agree it should be that high. I think that's just the 'popular' vote.

I can't believe that none of Stefan's finals were shortlisted- although the Wimbledon channel showed the 1990 final today- so at least they have acknowledged the best serve volleyer ever!

OP posts:
Raahh · 12/07/2020 15:45

Oh the Jo Konta semiGrin How many times did they repeat that??

OP posts:
PrivateSpidey · 12/07/2020 15:46

Yes it's not on really - he should have been included. Stefan woz robbed!! Grin

Raahh · 12/07/2020 15:46

Oof. The dog is looking at me...

I love that guy in the crowd in the shirt and tie - he looks like he is so enjoying himself Grin

JaneJeffer · 12/07/2020 15:48

I am Lot's wife when it comes to not looking Raahh!

No3?! Outrageous Grin

Raahh · 12/07/2020 15:50

A British male winner, Sue. There have been other female ones!

OP posts:
Raahh · 12/07/2020 15:52

I think we can guess what is 2 and 1.

There's still another hour of the this- I think they are showing most of them again Grin.

OP posts:
PrivateSpidey · 12/07/2020 15:55

Raahh by process of elimination I think I've worked out which matches are 1 and 2 Grin

Raahh · 12/07/2020 15:58

I'm quite surprised the Agassi win wasn't in the shortlist. I'd have put that in, not sure what I'd miss out though.

OP posts:
JaneJeffer · 12/07/2020 16:01

They could have left last year's out.

Raahh · 12/07/2020 16:04

Actually, Jane you are right- it was long but was it any good? Not really gripping til near the end. I felt the second set was thrwon. (controversial). But I come at as not a fan of either of them, so...

Same as the 2013 final Grin.

OP posts:
Raahh · 12/07/2020 16:06

Much as I love Pat Rafter, I think they could have missed out the Sampras final in 2000 as well. But I guess finding an interesting Sampras final is hard (always found him very boring to watch).

OP posts:
Raahh · 12/07/2020 16:07

I don't think it spoils much to say that the Sampras final got 0% of the votes online.

OP posts:
PrivateSpidey · 12/07/2020 16:09

Yes that was probably his most interesting final Hmm

Although he played a good one v Andre - can't remember the year? I think it was straight sets but a good quality match iirc.
