Re: The Wimbledon Thread - anyone for tennis?

Another crapfest final. Bouchard very ordinary. Barely an hour. Maybe Bouchard should have paid the spectators to watch.

So Kvitova... Good at tennis but I'd rather not see her face plastered all over the news over the next 10 years if she is to be the future of tennis   .

"I'd rather not see her face plastered all over the news"

A disquieting image.

So the previous six rounds count for nothing?

Bit of a shitty comment TBH.

Great tits are hard to find.

These days they're just misty watercolour mammaries.

[PeterCS]

Keep Babs out of this.

Personally, I think Kvitova is a perfectly charming, vivacious young lady from the Czech Republic.

And no extreme ironing there.

I bet you're no oil painting yourself, Mr Vilkrang.

so we should make all Women's Slam Finals 5 sets?

[lardbucket]

make them do equal work for equal pay

[Fred Nerk]

At least with five setters the result's still in doubt for the first two and a half. Unlike last night frinst....competitive first set, early break in second, crowd may as well go home.

Meh, no Brad Pitt but I do alright.

But yes, was maybe a tad harsh a comment I made regarding her face.

No, the women often bleat about equal pay but the overall standard and the relative brevity of many of the key matches does not warrant it.

[Guest]

The equal pay thing is such a disgrace. Are the women incapable of playing 5 set matches?

[JGK]

1 set all but Joker has looked the better so far.

A great advertisement against equal pay compared to last night.

[Guest]

Fed missed his easy forehand in that breaker, Joke didn't and that was the difference.

Exactly where did I mention equality of pay?

[Guest]

Classic final here... Still think Djokovic will come through but Fed certainly is far from disgracing himself at the age of 32.

[Paul Keating]

Even Bouchard apologized to the fans for her performance in the 'final'.

[Paul Keating]

The joker wins.

[taipan]

Federer seemed to get tired. Loads of errors in the final set.

[PeterCS]

Anyone who overcomes The Mr K Curse deserves to win the tournament.


A tremendous match. For all the errors, some fabulous strokeplay and a factoryload of grit. Congrats due to both contestants.

[skully]

Well done to the Joker. Looks a cracking final.

[horace]

fabulous contest

[JGK]

That's now 4 times Fed has lost a Grand Slam final in 5 sets.

Bugger . . . t'was a sporting bet going for Fed.
Now let's hope the Cloggies go on to win the WC .... and Bubba the Open.
