biffer Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Absolutely hammered Berdych there. If he plays like that on Sunday he will win. But it's a big ask to keep that standard up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney Rubble Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Most brutal tennis match I've ever witnessed was Del Potro v Djokovic semi at Wimbledon.2013. 4 hours and 45 minutes. It's probably got a shout for greatest game of tennis ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been on holiday so haven't been following it too closely, what happened to the big man? Fancied him as an outsider when Novak dropped out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disposed of Wawrinka in round 3 (?) but then got taken out himself next round. If he gets fit again Del Potro is a contender for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway 'mon the Murray Incredibly it's taken 11 Grand Slam finals to come up against a lower ranked player! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fringo Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 For me some of the classic finals were when I was a schoolkid and watched a lot of Wimbledon. Many of them involved Bjorn Borg, Connors and then McEnroe, Becker etc. I see to remember Bjorg v Roscoe Tanner was a classic 3-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally think Murray has this l. Had it been Federer, must admit I was 50/50 and tbh I've no idea why, because he has made some unbelievably basic errors this week. Raonic on the other hand has probably played the best I've seen. Anyway no matter. Mon Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boynze Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 have an un-nervingly positive feeling about his chances today, feeling it might well be 3-0. murray has a very good record of beating players below him in the rankings, and losing to those higher.

An excellent endorsement of the ranking system, I suppose. Your positive feelings have also been endorsed so far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
