The tennis thread.

Wish Djokovic would just fuck off the Serbian cunt.

DRAMA.

I don't think you'll ever see as good a match.

I never saw the match in the first place


The Federer vs Roddick one was pretty beastly though.

You've completely missed out on a momentous occasion.

Nadal v Federer in 2008 was far better than Federer v Roddick in terms of drama. I can't remember what the quality was like in 2009...probably not that good if Roddick was involved

I was thinking that Federer might be in trouble as well.

Meh, I blew off this year's Wimbledon final to go play some tennis myself

There was a question on "Million Pound Drop Live" today......these two guys were playing and one was an ex tennis coach.

Question: "Which of the following three were oldest when they won Wimbledon for the first time? Nadal, Djokovic, Federer".

They put 50:50 money on Federer and Nadal

What? Did they misread the question?

That's what I was thinking

Literally I watched the whole program, and probably would've got them all right. Still...it's a lot harder when you're there....your mind can go blank.

Mind you, I don't think that many people who don't follow tennis will know who Djokovic is.

Who is Djokovic's kryptonite?

Saying that though, since he's turned it on he has hardly lost so it's hard to say.



If you told me this time last year I'd be cheering Federer to knock Djokovic out I'd have told you to fuck off.

Murray makes him run round the pitch and get an injury

The pitch? This isn't Vicarage Road.

Djokovic would destroy Murray.

The Australian Open Final of 2009 pushed it pretty fucking close.

The Federer vs Roddick one was like a piece of shit compared to the most beautiful diamond when compared to 2008.

Yeah, phenomenal match, just hope we see some more Rafa - Roger finals, Novak is having none of it though.

I don't think it makes much difference at this stage, on Clay Nadal would just kill Federer, and even on other surfaces, while Federer's got the superior head-to-head, I'd still expect Nadal to win, Federer's not what he once was, nowhere near.

Oh don't get me wrong, I don't expect the same level of Tennis from 2008, I just think their styles compliment each other in a way where it's set up for a much more entertaining match.

Novak through, 6-3, 6-4, 6-2.

Groce.

He's copying Petkovic

Gluten.

Thank fuck for that, Rafa takes the first set.

EDIT: Brilliant start to the second from Rafa, 3-0 up with 2 breaks.

Rafa takes the second set 6-1.

Credit to Nalbandian for not needing a zimmer frame yet.

Cancel the match and put Rafa through then just make him lay on a bed so we can all look at him.

Also, LOL at Angelique Kerber being a Grand Slam quarter finalist. That's just hilarious.

"Well he was coming in Nalbandian, but the reality is he's going out."



Then Nalbandian breaks.



Cunt.
