Excellent tournament this year. I've watched a lot of it. The quality of play has been outstanding, particularly on the women's side. ESPN's coverage has been terrific.

Agree! You won’t be rooting (supporting) any player from the Men’s or Women’s Semis?

This is one of those sporting events where the venue is almost more important than the outcome. I think Halep can beat Serena, but it wouldn't break my heart if it went either way. I love Roger's game and would like to see him win, but he's got a tall mountain to climb.

Wimbledon (Tennis) Finalists pick?
Quote:
I’m a fan of Federer. So I hope he wins and my vote goes to him too. It’s more a sentimental vote rather than an objective one. If he plays like he played against Nadal, then chances of him winning is greater. Fairy tales (miracles) do happen! My vote goes to Halep. I’m not really a fan of Halep but just supporting the underdog. Sorry fans of Serena. Odds to win: Federer 47% vs Djokovic 53% Halep 45% vs Serena 55%

I like Joker... he's a good dude. He just happened to play in the wrong time for his own popularity. Having said all that, I'll be rooting (slightly) for Roger though.

Incredible performance by Halep. Deserved win. Serena will have to wait a bit longer for that elusive 24th major.

Yep, and it wasn’t close. Serena looked slow and lumbering. #24 may never come.

I don't follow the sport, but did watch the last 2 sets of today's match. Amazing matchup! 5 hours of all-out effort, coming down to tiebreakers.

Who knows what the heck I was thinking. I meant to post on the world cup thread. Oops.

I don’t agree that tiebreakers are luck - Joko won 3 of 3 yesterday, which is a LOT of luck. But they do reward a different approach and they clearly played to Joko’s advantage. I didn’t even realize they’d decided to allow final set breakers at Wimbledon and don’t love it, but if you’re gonna do it, waiting until 12-12 still allows for a bit of a war of attrition. Without it, I think they’d be getting ready to go back out today to resume at 20-20... Amazing match. Glad I tuned in. Didn’t catch the women’s final - I just assume Serena’s gonna win. Guess it may be time to start paying attention again... -Ray |
