I don't even think that women are interested in women's tennis. Apart from the Lesbians; and even then, if they like tennis, they probably don't like women's tennis. I've got my tickets for Centre Court at the Olympics and have a silent dread that I'll have to sit through some of that awful stuff.

shaun.lawson Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 What's everyone thinking of Oor Andys chances tomorrow then? First set crucial as ever, and he always seems to lose it against Nadal. Would be interested to see how Murray would react to taking the first set. Nadal wins the first set at a canter. Cue much on here, abuse for Murray being a loser, hobo bottler and all the rest of it. Then, midway through the second set, Murray unexpectedly breaks Nadal and starts to flow. He takes the set, levels the match, and everyone on here does a total 180 and proclaims him the Champion in waiting. A titanic third set unfolds: Murray playing brilliantly, Rafa hanging on for grim death. The level gets higher and higher - and it becomes apparent that whoever loses this set will, on momentum alone, inevitably forfeit the match; and whoever wins it will surely take the title as well. Murray has several break points - but Nadal saves them with diamond brilliance. Then, just as a tiebreak seems inevitable, Nadal, through his unique combination of pure indomitability and sheer, unquestioned genius, steals the set 7-5, and the die is cast. The reigning Champion duly gallops away with the fourth set to seal the contest; and for the third time in as many years, but after far and away his best effort to date, Murray is knocked out in the semi-finals. Britain's wait for a domestic winner of the Gentlemen's Singles extends to 76 years. In the other semi, Tsonga plays well and hangs in there; but Djokovic sees him off comfortably enough in four, and into a fitting finale between the two best tennis players on the planet.

The Old Tolbooth Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I worry about you Shaun, I really do! I have a sneaky feeling that Murray is going to beat Nadal for some reason, I don't know why, and I don't want it to happen as I'm a bit of a Nadal fan to be honest, but I just think that things appear to be clicking into place for Murray this time. I also reckon that Tsonga will pip Djokovic in a classic, Tsonga was outstanding at Queens and has been outstanding again at Wimbledon, if Murray plays Tsonga in the final it will be another classic too, Queens was one of the best 3 set finals I've ever seen!

My match tipping has been abysmal so far and I agree on the Tsonga v Djoko match. Many of the commentators are comapring this match up to the Oz Final in 2008(?) which took place at a time when Tsonga was only coming on the scene; had had vey little big match experience, and had played the game of his life (perhaps more outstanding than this week's v Federer) to make it to the final. He's much more battle ready nowadays and will almost definitely give Djoko a harder time of it. Djoko's come on a great deal in that time, too, of course but, in 2008, was already a top 3 ranked player. He's (as usual - with the exception of the French this year) come through the draw with very little attention paid to him so it's a little unclear just how well he's been playing or how poorly his oppo have been. From what I've seen, he's a tiny amount behind where he was going through March, April & May. Nothing I can really put my finger on but the Djoko on the 40-odd match winning streak would not have got into the tangle that he did in his match against Baghdatis; though his racket-smashing blowout may well have cleared his head. As you say, the potential for a great, great match. (The Knightley kiss of death - it's going to be one-sided 2 and a bit sets before one of them retires hurt...) I really don't want to call the Murray match. I'm a huge admirer of Nadal, the competitor and the man - if you haven't seen it, look out the vid of his time in the studio with Sue Barker yesterday; he's an absolute gent - and I hope that his foot isn't bad as, if Murray does somehow win it, I would want it to be on merit rather than giving his naysayers the ammo that he only just sneaked past a one-legged opponent. And in a rather nasty turn up for the books, I may not be able to watch it...

reaths17 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Murray to win. seems to have a more relaxed feeling than usual for him and Nadal seems to have had to battle a bit to get through. Novak has struggled on the grass before and hasn't been convincing with the easiest draw of the top 4. Tsonga likes the grass and for the 1st time i've seen, managed to see out 5 sets. he has a 5 for 2 against record with Novak. after predicting a NADAL v Djokovic result at the start, i'm seriously having doubts and perhaps Murrays gonna do it. the biggest worry is the hobo connection, 78 years since a brit made the final is still someway short of 109.
