The tennis thread.

I wonder if anyone has ever eaten off the plate they get at a major.

First picture was me on the final point.

Everyone in tennis is always so happy after they lose in the final, especially the women, can't fucking stand it.

They're not happy, they just put on an act, they're gutted, Errani was crying as well.

That mega cock-up from the announcer cheered her up though

I'm less annoyed about this because the main Maria-troll on TF was banned last night

Woah, ITV are showing doubles? Well played, ITV.

I'm so happy right now, this makes up for the lost finals.

Surprised that was her first time winning it.

Match started off well but got a bit shit, not much of a final.

Disagree from a neutral point of view, started off with Maria absolutely demolishing her, was too one sided, in the second set Errani actually put more in I think.

If Djokovic wins this, he'll have won all four in a row? Does that count as a Grand Slam?

Winning 4 at any point makes it a career grand slam but he'll hold all 4 at once which is not done by many at all.

Has anyone done it before?

Holding all 4 at once doesn't count, he'll have to win this and retain Wimbledon and the US.

Doesn't count as what? It counts that he's held all four slams at once.

Never mind you were responding to SB, I thought you were responding to me saying it'd be a career slam.

I am delighted for Maria. A wonderful woman.

In on calendar year Don Budge and Rod Laver have done it, Rod Laver done it twice, last one was 1969, but as RR said Novak has to win the French and Wimbledon, then the US to do that, I think he could definitely do it, but he's some way off, if he does that and wins the olympics it'll be the golden grand slam.

Nadal has a career golden slam.

Queen of clay, Stuttgart, Rome and Roland Garros, not bad for a cow on ice.

Yes it does.

Novak has a shot at the Golden Slam this year

Were you watching the same match?

Repeating what I said, clearly taking my words to seem knowledgeable on Tennis.

The golden slam > career golden slam.

I didn't read that

Did you unfollow me on Twitter?

EDIT: You might have not even been following me.

I unfollowed everyone from PM at one point.

I shall rectify this.

I see, are you still confident Rafa will beat Novak tomorrow? If Rafa loses it'll probably be the most painful ever for me, considering it's a RG final, Novak will cement his place above Nadal even further.
