C'mon Milos

[leicsmac]

'nother five setter it is!

 

Anyone's game now.

[ScouseFox]

switched to full version just to see that. great.

[The Horse's Mouth]

Sensational stuff this, come on Milos

[VinceNoir]

Federer looks gone here. Completely knackered

[foxes_rule1978]

Raonic through brilliant stuff

[filbertway]

Let me hear you say raaaaaoooooooo

[foxy boxing]

With federer out if Murray does not have this he will totally kick himself he has to do it!

Will be favourite but today's is tough and then if he makes it Raonic has proven his abilities, certainly should win a slam in his career and grass suits him perfectly

[leicsmac]

With Raonic having just come through a pretty gruelling 5-setter, there's not really that much that Murray should fear in this tournament anymore, either today or on Sunday, unless he has a complete meltdown or Berdych plays a once-in-a-lifetime.

[The Horse's Mouth]

Berdych and Raonic final will be top

[Manwell Pablo]

Raonic not my cup of tea as a player. Not one for big servers, would love to see tommy win a grand slam, consistently up there just had a tough time against the big four on all surfaces. Murray obviously the preference at the minute though.

[foxes_rule1978]

2 sets to Murray, taking apart the Berdych serve...

[ScouseFox]

Andy on a different level. Great stuff. Just the final i wanted woo.

[leicsmac]

Professional, brutal and absolutely thorough. I'm not sure exactly how Lendl seems to give him extra steel, but it is clearly there again.

His title to lose, you would think, despite how good Raonic was today.

serena barely tried and won in straight sets. different game.

Serena the best ever.

[The Horse's Mouth]

will she **** off and retire now

[Manwell Pablo]

will she **** off and retire now

It's only joint at the moment so she'll keep playing for one more at the very least.

It's a travesty if you ask me , given some of the players around during grafts career like martina Seles hingis arantxa etc compared the mob of players where a different woman is ranked 2 every other week, but never mind.

Surely Hingis was around for more of Serena's career than Graf's but yeah I do see your point.

Speaking of also ran female tennis players, whatever happened to Safina? She was no 1 for a while but never won a Slam.

Thought it was a decent final, one of the better finals in years. Competitive match but a few fine margins and Serena's serve made all the difference, as much as Kerber played her part there was no chance she was winning today.

Serena back to her dominate ways for the time being, I did say wait till Wimbledon and see what happens. Come the US they'll be more contenders who can challenge Serena at that tournament on that surface, Serena is just the queen of grass, not many players can beat her on the surface unless she has a wobbler.

In my world Tennis only exists about 3 or 4 weeks a year. Would Serena so anything odf note if she went in the men's tournaments for a season? She's got biceps bigger than half the blokes that's for sure.

 

Watching her play is like watching an 15 year old play their 8 year old brother/sister. Pretty sure she could win the doubles on her own as well.
