Wimbledon 2016

DP wins. Very interesting.

Wasn't SW predicted to be Murray's semi-final opponent?

Yes though his wimbledon record is pretty poor. Hard to see beyond a Murry/Djokovic final though you can never discount Federer on the grass.

I believe so. But DP is no mug...

Federer will lose to Evans later today.

(Actually he probably won't, but people I played tennis with last night were convinced he has a better chance than people give him credit for...)

Djokovic 2 sets down :stunned:

Djokovic 2 sets down :stunned:

Annoyingly the rain saved him. He's back on at 11.30 this morning. What's the betting he wins the next 3 sets?

Still well odds-on.

He had the same situation with Kevin Anderson last year - down 2-0, then came back to win 3-2. Even so, fair play to Querrey.....so far.

He did. But this time he couldn't survive.

So I'm guessing this makes that moody Murray the favourite?

Yep top seed. Who gives a **** if he doesn't do a song and dance? I want him to win his second Wimbledon & third Grand Slam.

As Murray said himself: he's got to get to the final for that result to have any impact on him.

 

[MK Shrimper]

Easy for Murray - didn't even face a breakpoint vs Kyrgios. Impressive form indeed.

 

[Crabby Shrimper]

Just checking the scores, and noticed that in the Men's Doubles, Inglot and Nestor are playing Benneteau, and the fantastically named Roger-Vasselin.

Ok, I may have the humour of a 12 year old, but it did make me chuckle.

So it's Murray V Raonic in the Final on Sunday. Surely Murray must fancy himself to win this now.

It will be his 11th Grand Final, he's lost 8 of those to either Federer or Djokovic, so what with them both out of the way, and added to that, the usual biased home support, along with the world rankings (2nd V 7th) as well as beating him at Queens recently. Although, mind you, he was a set down & a break at one stage.

I watched all of both matches (albeit with an eye patch over one eye after minor surgery this morning) and think it is going to be extremely close.

Murray in 4 on Sunday. Raonic wobbles....Murray doesn't. I think in his present form, he'd beat anyone including Djokovic.

I hope you're right. Everyone said Federer would beat him too.

Feds, god bless him, is getting on a bit. Won't be long before he retires I reckon.

I know nothing. :smile:

When Djokovic and Federer got knocked out they might as well have handed it to him. Most boring Wimbeldon for a long time!
