Sunday.

Maybe Monday though if the weather plays up.

[C-man]

Williams final. <_<

[Darkzzz_]

I still think Nadal will fall short again, although he has been amazing this year, How can you not look past Roger.

If Nadal carries on improving at the rate he is, it won't be long before he wins his first Wimbledon title. I can't see past Federer this year though.

With out a doubt, Nadal will win more than one Wimbledon, if, like you say he carries on improving at this rate.

Great Athlete.

I hope Safin pushes Federer, it will be interesting to see.

Looks like Safin is not pushing Federer as i wanted him to!

Damn you Marat...

If anyone unseeded was going to push him on that side of the draw it would of been Ancic.

[Milky]

Is this bollocks almost over yet?

I'd like to have my radio back. ****ing tennis wank.

Get out of the thread, you stink.

[SamL]

Federer played quality yet again. I can't see past him for the title despite a huge improvement by Nadal.

Yeah i thought Ancic would have been a tough one, Fair play to Federer, people in the media have written the 5 time winner off, which is staggering!!

He has got his head down and yet again he has been class.

I think he will win it, but i would like to see Nadal do it to be honest.

[Manwell Pablo]

It should be another good game although I can't see Nadal beating him on Grass.

Scheuttler Nadal is jusy going to be joke.

[Darkzzz_]

He only just came off court about 5 minutes a go didn't he??

Actually are Scheuttler and Clement still playing??

[Joe.]

You could say Nadal won that first set fairly comfortably.

[The People's Hero]

Nadal and Federer are just pis sing this.

A class apart, both of them.

Is grass even Nadal's strongest surface, he looks like more of a clay court player to me. Having said that, I know nothing about tennis.

[Joe.]

Schuettler's just broken Nadal.

[Simi]

Nadal is a weirdo with what he does when he sits down at the interval.

[Joe.]

Well he's only just scraped through that one. Didn't think he was going to win it before he broke back.

[Joe.]

Game, set and match Nadal.

To be fair to Schuettler, apart from the first set he put up a good fight.

[SamL]

It was a good win for Nadal so it should be a pretty good final.

It would be nice to see an upset, can't see it though.

Rafa's just taken his headband off and he's got tanlines on his forehead!

Tim Henman on the final: "Really, it's going to boil down to whoever plays best on the day".

Thanks Tim.

[Thracian]

Today's game was an aside really. Sure he tried but there was no way the German was equipped to make a serious challenge.

The biggest problem for Nadal was keeping his shorts out of his arse.

Big thing now is whether Nadal's ever-increasing intensity can finally overcome Federer. And whether his mind can win the battle of the big points.

It's set for a classic but I think an era is reluctantly passing. Nadal will triumph and with some emphasis.

I reckon Nadal will win in 5 sets. Hopefully an epic. Both men are a class apart from all of the others. No doubt Federer will go down as one of the greatest players ever to play the game and in my opinion, Nadal will be up there aswell.

That would be nice to see, I always like to see an upset.

It's a close call between the Williams sisters today but I think Serena might just have the edge.

[Simi]

Serena wins.
