[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza :bow:

[Mac76]

Fed is 2-1 down. :doh:

His opponent got injured, jammy Swiss f****r

[GP]

delicious

[Letters]

His opponent got injured, jammy Swiss f****r

:lol: What's with the Federer hate?

[Mac76]

:lol: What's with the Federer hate?

just not a fan - he's a slimy smug git

and overrated as a player :ninja:

[Letters]

I'd be a bit smug if I was that good.

And behave! :lol:

Murray is being a bit Scottish again. 1 set all at the moment, with serve in the 3rd so far.

[Letters]

0-40 on Murray's serve...

[Letters]

Murray saves 2 but is then broken.
Scots :rolleyes:

[Niall_Quinn]

Did I see a bunch of toff cunts stuffed into seats with no social distancing and no masks?

Odd. No?

Anyone for strawberries and cream?

[Letters]

Any odder than Wembley last night? Not many toffs there.
Well, the royals were there, but you know what I mean.

Otte serving for the set.

[Letters]

3rd set Otte
Murray :rose:

[Niall_Quinn]

Any odder than Wembley last night? Not many toffs there.
Well, the royals were there, but you know what I mean.

Otte serving for the set.

Do you have kids? At school? Or a boss that buys the covid shit? Let me ask you? How can schools be doing one thing (provided they aren't private schools), and Wimbledon be doing another - Wembley too after the smackdown in response to covid apartheid - be doing the opposite. And YET. People come on here and do - THE FIGURES AND THE DATA STATE THIS!

How can you keep it all straight in the tiny space where your mind exists?

[Letters]

You know what? I'll reply to this in the Covid thread :good:

[Niall_Quinn]

You know what? I'll reply to this in the Covid thread :good:

Why? So you can keep tennis pure in a world full of impurity?

[Letters]

Why? So you can keep tennis pure in a world full of impurity?

As you know, the moderation is very light touch on here, but I guess there should be some semblance of keeping threads what they're about.
So why not? We have a thread about Covid so might as well put this conversation where it belongs.

In the spirit of that...going with serve in the 4th, they're just off for a break while they close the roof.

Fair enough.

[Letters]

Murray gets a break in the 4th!

[Letters]

:doh: Murray serves for the set and is broken. 5-5.

Scots :doh:

[Letters]

2 set points Murray!

[Letters]

2 sets each!

Brits :bow:

I kinda want Murray to lose but I can't explain why.

[Letters]

Murray breaks.
2-0, 5th set.

[Mac76]

3-0, c'mon Muzza

Good match

[Letters]

4-1

Hard to see past Murray now.

[LDG]

I kinda want Murray to lose but I can't explain why.

It’s beacuse he’s a wanker :good:

[Letters]

It’s beacuse he’s a wanker :good:

Could be that.

The wanker has 2 match points

[Letters]

Brilliant lob to win it.

Muzza was all over the shop till the break. Soon as he came out after they put the roof on he was a different player.

[Mac76]

Muzza :bow:

germany lose again :pal:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer beat Gasquet 7-6 (7-1) 6-1 6-4.

[Letters]

Murray :rose:

[GP]

Come on Tim!

[Mac76]

Murray :rose:

The way he's talking it really does sound like the end of the road - a shame he lost so much time at the end to injury but there you go

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer v Norrie is on in a minute.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer took the first set 6-4 and is up a break in the second.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And takes the second set 6-4 also.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Norrie took the first set 7-5. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer beats Norrie 6-4 6-4 5-7 6-4! :bow:

[Letters]

Fed in to the Quarter Finals for the 18th time :wacko:

Djok through too though, and looking good.

[Mac76]

A shame to see Raducanu have to come off though she was on course to lose anyway

Still, one to watch for the future - let's hope it was nothing serioua

[GP]

Apparently she had a panic attack.

[Letters]

Well that doesn’t bode well if true for a career in top level sport!

[Mac76]

McEnroe said last night that it's happened to some big name players before and maybe it was good she got it out of the way early

The problem is the way the media go mad on any British player who wins a couple of matches, immediately putting them under massive pressure

[Mac76]

federer :rose:

[Mac76]

Federer :haha:

Straight sets :haha:

Last set 6-0 :haha:

Switzerland :haha:

Cuckoo clocks :haha:

Neutrality :haha:

Banking :haha:

Cheese with holes in :haha:

Xhaka :haha:

[GP]

Old man Fed annihilated in 3 sets.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bageled in the third set. :rose:

Fed. :rose:

Will miss you.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barty v Pliskova in today's final.

Djokovic v Berrettini tomorrow.

[Mac76]

Barty wins 2 sets to 1

not a great standard of tennis, Pliskova all over the place in the first set

[Letters]

Come on, Djok. I reckon he could win quite easily although I say that without knowing much about the other guy

[Letters]

Djok made a right mess of that but did end up holding serve in the end.

[Letters]

Djok breaks. 3–1

[Letters]

Berrettini finally holds after a real battle, but Djok will be serving for the set.

[Letters]

Break point :popcorn:

[Letters]

Deuce!

[Letters]

Berrettini breaks!
5-4

[Letters]

Tie break

[Letters]

Berrettini serves an ace to win the first set!
Amazing!

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Good god would have taken his head off :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Watching on the BBC Sport website for the time being so am waaay behind.

Well done Berrettini, some fight back. That is absolutely massive.

[Letters]

Djok breaks then holds at the start of the 2nd
2-0

[Master Splinter]

Watching on the BBC Sport website for the time being so am waaay behind.



Ivanisevic has done it!

[Letters]

Djok gets a second break! 3-0

[Letters]

Ivanisevic has done it!

:lol:

Fred Perry :bow:

[Mac76]

Wish men's tennis was best of three, it's just boring making it best of five

[Letters]

What a point!
Berrettini holds

[Letters]

Berrettini gets a break back. Djok :doh:

[Letters]

And now 0-40 on Berrettini’s serve!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ivanisevic has done it!

I can't believe you spoilt the ending for me.

[Letters]

And buggers up all 3 set points :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wish men's tennis was best of three, it's just boring making it best of five

No way. Best of three for a Slam final is not enough.

[Letters]

3 more set points

[Letters]

And this time takes one. 1 set each!

[Letters]

5-4 in the 3rd but Djok has a break so will be serving for the set

[Letters]

Djok holds to take the 3rd set. Up 2-1

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The reign of terror could reach new heights this year.

The Grand Slam is on. :sick:

[Master Splinter]

Relying on The Italians to end Djokovic and Southgate's reign of terror isn't going well so far.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point Djokovic. The end is nigh.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Double fault gives it away. 4-3 Djokovic leads in the fourth.

[Letters]

Djok holds for 5-3.
The end could be nigh.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Berrettini is serving to stay in the Championship.

[Letters]

Djokovic’s returning is insane.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Championship point!

[Letters]

Saved. Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Surpass Federer and Nadal on the same number of Slams.

Castle. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2nd Championship point.

[Letters]

Advantage Djok.

[Letters]

Saved again!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ballbashing forehand down the line, deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Third Championship point now.

[Letters]

3rd Championship point

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic beats Berrettini 6-7 (4-7), 6-4 6-4 6-3 to win Wimbledon for the sixth time and 20th Slam overall, now equal with Federer and Nadal.

The reign of terror well and truly goes on.

US Open would be the Grand Slam.

[Letters]

And he’s done it.
GOAT?

[Master Splinter]

The scary thing is, he played a 6/10 match today.

A 6/10 Djokovic is still the third best player in the world though.

[Letters]

Catherine. :bow:

DILFs

[Mac76]

And he’s done it.
GOAT?

I reckon, yes

Good effort by Berrettini, cpuld see him winning slams in future

[Master Splinter]

Djokovic will have every number in his favour within the next year.

Unless he suffers a really bad injury, he's only going to pull ahead. There's no doubt about it.

[Letters]

The amazing thing is he’s sort of come up on the rails while everyone was creaming themselves about Nadal and Federer.
Berrettini made him work for it today, hope to see more of him.

Italy 0 - Rest of the World 1 so far.
Hopefully we’ll make it 2-0 later :pray:

[GP]

He's a bit... boring?

[Master Splinter]

He's a bit... boring?

He's German efficiency in football form. But also ten times better than that. He's a machine and it's up to others to try and reach his level.

[Letters]

Might as well continue this thread

[Letters]

9-3. Nadal.

Match point

[Letters]

Nadal wins. Apparently the tie breaks go up to 10
Is that a 5th set thing?

[Xhaka Can’t]

Kyrgios sounds like quite the piece of shit.

He’s the Pritti Patel of tennis.

[Letters]

:lol:

[Marc Overmars]

Nadal has been forced to withdraw with an injury.

Kyrgios into the final. :lol:

[Letters]

Oh! That’s a shame. He was obviously struggling yesterday but made a heroic effort to get through

[Mac76]

Norrie breaks Jokavich's serve first game then goes and loses his own... :doh:

[Mac76]

Norrie wins first set 6-2 :faint:

[GP]

lol what?

[Letters]

:gp:

[GP]

Starting to choke a bit. Choosing his shots poorly.

[Mac76]

1-1 ,,,

[Letters]

Arteta OUT!

[Mac76]

Djoko wins third set 6-2

Norrie :rose:

[Mac76]

Norrie broken in first game of fourth set - falling apart now

[Mac76]

all over - Norrie threw it away when Djoko still wasn't playing well tbh

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic v Kyrgios final.

:wacko:

[Xhaka Can’t]

These truly are the darkest of times.

[Mac76]

i'm skipping it but watched the women's final - good win for Rybakina, good match, no arguments, shouting etc :)

[GP]

Djokovic v Kyrgios final.

:wacko:

Battle of the Bastards

[Letters]

What’s with the Djok hate?

[Niall_Quinn]

What’s with the Djok hate?

He's an alpha male, very upsetting for marxists cucks.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Literally the first time I’ve ever heard of a tennis player referred to as an Alpha Male :lol:

[Mac76]

What’s with the Djok hate?

anti-vax moron, also a splitter by trying to introduce an equivalent of the superleague in tennis - still routing for him in the final though - Kyrgios must be stopped

oh and if he wins it means the Smug Swiss will then be third in the league for most grand slams :haha:

[Letters]

Djok :doh:

Double faults to lose his serve

[Letters]

oh and if he wins it means the Smug Swiss will then be third in the league for most grand slams :haha:

He’s not anti vax though, is he?
He just didn’t see any need to have the vaccine himself because he’s young and fit and not vulnerable. Pretty much the reason I don’t have the flu shot :shrug:

I don’t know about the super league stuff.

And yeah, Fed will probably forever stuck on 20 slams. What a loser!

[Letters]

Ah. We are back.
One set all.

[HCZ_Reborn]

I’m backing Kyrgios simply because of all the shrill feminists on twitter getting upset about him being charged with common assault on his missus/ex missus

So ladies, innocent until proven guilty doesn’t count for all crimes?

[Jofnn]

Ah. We are back.
One set all.

:ilt:

[Letters]

:ilt:

:lol:

Did you turn it off and turn it back on again?

[Letters]

:lol:

But, overall, he does seem like quite the piece of shit so come on, Djok

[HCZ_Reborn]

:lol:

But, overall, he does seem like quite the piece of shit so come on, Djok

Oh he’s a massive bell end

But still salty about Djokovic beating Federer in 2019 so domestic abuser or not, I want that Aussie cunt to win

[Jofnn]

:lol:

Did you turn it off and turn it back on again?

Let's just say it wasn't a fun 32 minutes :D

[Letters]

Oh he’s a massive bell end

But still salty about Djokovic beating Federer in 2019 so domestic abuser or not, I want that Aussie cunt to win
:lol:

Well the Aussie cunt just went 2 sets to 1 down.
I am warming to Kyrgios a bit though, he’s playing brilliantly to stay with Djok
