Grand Slam Wimbledon 2018

[pepsi]

She could very well go another slam ahead of Federer!

Please don't turn it into a debate between men and women. Just focus on female tennis players.

Hurry up lol

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Hope they put the doubles on

I was always confident Nadal had another big run at Wimbledon left in him. Would love to go back through the previous year's threads to see how many people wrote him off on grass.

Here he is, 2018 in a semi. On the cusp. If he can get past Djokovic I think we're looking at number 18.

Please don't . But as Pepsi has said, the court is playing slower and with a bit more bounce. Ben said that on twitter in the first day.

Well, didn't see this comeback happening.

Did see the counter to the comeback though by Williams

Serena Williams you star!

 

[juice t]

It’s like Williams sees everything in slow motion

 

[LukeParkerno1]

How boring were those two semis hoping the final is cracking though.

Williams to win in 2.

 

[red+black]

Serena back up to #28, if she wins the final, #19.

Kerber goes #6 to #4 if she wins.

 

[red+black]

Serena becomes the 3rd oldest woman to make a slam final. Can break her own record of oldest to win:

37-290 (WI 2019) - Serena Williams (?)
37-257 (WI 1994) - Martina Navratilova (L)
37-255 (FR 2019) - Serena Williams (?)
37-123 (AU 2019) - Serena Williams (?)
37-029 (WI 2017) - Venus Williams (L)
36-347 (US 2018) - Serena Williams (?)
36-291 (WI 2018) - Serena Williams (?)
36-225 (AU 2017) - Venus Williams (L)
35-124 (AU 2017) - Serena Williams (W)

Fairly one sided semis sadly. Oh well, not every tournament can have a Halep v Kerber semi.

Be the first time since Aus open 2017 imo where the men's side has had a better and more interesting tournament than the girls.

As much as I like Kerber, geez I hope Serena wins it. As super-human as she is, she's nearing the end of her career and won't get too many more opportunities to add to her total, and let's be honest, I think it would sit better with most of us if Serena had the record rather than the homophobic Margaret Court. To do it after everything she's been through over the last year would also be an incredible accomplishment. And despite missing over a year from the game, if Serena won on Saturday it would be the seventh straight year she's won a major going back to 2012.

Those are the reasons I'd want her to win it as a neutral. But she's been my personal favourite since 2001 so I want her to win every match she plays

I think we need to separate the 2 issues. Margaret Court is a legend of the game and I don't care who ends with the higher slam tally.

I certainly disagree with Court on some of her opinions, but still admire her sporting career and achievements, as I do Serena's.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Agreed pepsi the two issues are not similar one bit. Respect both for what they achieve on the court. Don’t really care what they do off the court although I disagree with Court’s comments.

Oh for sure I think any great athlete deserves to be recognised for what they did on the court/field/track etc. but if one had to have that record I know who I'd prefer and not just because she's my personal favourite.

Isner v Anderson about to begin on 7two

Time to see some big serving

 

[pepsi]

Tipping isner as he hasn't been broken yet this tournament.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Wake me up when this serve fest is over

 

[vaughany]

Either way most people will want this one wrapped up in 3 sets and get Djokovic v Nadal out on court for a pending epic match

Do they still do that chase the ace betting thing?

Would be great to see either of these 2 take out the title.

Sure if you want to see someone new win for a change

But the people want to see Nadal get another slam closer to Fed.... err Serena's slams record

No because they are 2 very likeable guys who have had very good careers. As for Nadal, yeah I've had enough. Absolute legend, but have grown tired of his antics on court over time sadly.

Who is the commentator with McEnroe tonight?
