Brilliant tennis, especially towards the end. Great match to watch but could tell from 3rd set that Federer had the upper hand. Rafa seemed to tire quicker.

 

Hope Sunday is just as good a match, if not better!

What to watch Sunday afternoon? 

 

Men's tennis final?

British F1 GP?

Scottish Open golf?

WC Cricket final?

 

Or WC Netball? 

 

Tennis on TV. Cricket on a laptop. F1 on another laptop

Yep, and the annoying thing is there was next to fvck all sport on last Sunday

Outstanding from Federer .

 

Nadal dug in at the but Federer was on top form throughout .

 

Can he beat Djokovic?

 

Will have the support of the crowd .

No can’t beat Djokovic

Bit of a disrespectful way to talk about them that imo. Think federal in particular is more than capable of giving Novak a game.

You're probably right Pabs - of course they're both greats. Guess it just gets to me when some folks overhype it all in a way that implies they think that tennis is Federer and Nadal and nothing else.

Nope

Serena's being out-Serena'd atm

[walkerleeds]

Could the BBC want Serena to win this anymore?

[UniFox21]

Serena looks absolutely drained 

[spacemunky]

Halep serving for the win. No pressure!

[spacemunky]

Awesome job Simona! 

[kingfox]

Well that was quick  

 

Younger, quicker and fitter, Simona wasn't letting a 37 year old beat her today.

Maybe Serena will never get that record ?

 

2nd year in a row she had been outplayed in the final .

 

Fully deserved for Halep - hopefully get the credit she has earnt .

Simona Halep only follows two people on Twitter and one of them is Mark Selby

Apparently she met him once he seemed nice and gave her a signed snooker ball so she followed him on Twitter. Who knows!! 

[Super_horns]

Contrast to the ladies final in the Men's doubles final .

 

4 hours long - 4 tiebreaks.

 

Now had to close the roof.

[Super_horns]

Federer probably been the better player so far .

 

Threw that 1st away so good to see him bouncing back in the 2nd.

[PhillippaT]

Best of 3 it is...

[Dr Marco]

Come on Roger!
