The Tennis Thread

<p>Boo hiss. :(</p>

<p>Who are you booing about? JMDP or Murray losing the first set?</p>

<p>Disgusting British crowd.</p>

<p>^ JMDP :frowning: </p>

<p>Not happy with how this match is going, either.</p>

<p>Del Potro had no chance to beat Murray, so Iā€™m glad Djokovic won.</p>

<p>Wow, very exciting to see something so quirky & different in the ladies final!</p>

<p>I really did enjoy the womenā€™s final. It was great to see someone who has been working so many years win Wimbledon. She was so excited too and gracious to her opponent.</p>

<p>Very pleased that Bartoli won. She has a great story - rejected by the French Federation, generally made fun of and comes back and wins (arguably) the most prestigious tennis tournament ever. One can complain about her draw or Lisicki being nervous, but Bartoli beat whoever was put in front of her.</p>

<p>Tomorrow, I know who I am rooting for :slight_smile: DelPo-Novak was a great match; I nearly bit of all my nails. Jerzy-Murray was dull. Amusing that Verdasco took him to 5.</p>

<p>BBC apologising for commentator John Inverdaleā€™s remarks about Bartoli.

<p>Sad that no matter what great accomplishmenrs women achieve, they get cut down like this.</p>

<p>^ That is appalling.</p>

<p>The Bryans sure had me worried in the first set, but then they got it together. The award ceremony was pretty lame, thoughā€“they treat doubles like the red-headed stepchild of tennis. They couldnā€™t even do the presentation out on the court?</p>

<p>Iā€™m looking forward to seeing the Bryans play at Villanova later this month when the Philadelphia Freedoms play the Texas Wild. :D</p>

<p>I never noticed Bartoli beforeā€¦but she got my attention now. I love her style of play. I too play a double-handed forehand, though not nearly as effectively as she does! Her coach is another player I admire (Mauresmo). Anytime someone French wins, I am happy. Between Pearce, Mauresmo and now Bartoli, French women have won all four majors in the last 15 20 years. </p>

<p>Sharapova is still my favourite, but while I did not have a second favourite in the past, I have to say that I now really admire both women who played in the final today and I will be following their games with great interest in the future.</p>

<p>Wouldnā€™t Britain have a great day if Murray wins Wimbledon and the royal baby is born. Britain would go nuts.</p>

<p>Praying for Djokovic to send him back to Scotland empty handed.</p>

<p>I would rather see Djokovic win! :wink: But if Murray wins, I would also be pleased because he is definitely a class act.</p>

<p>Djokoā€™s chest beating turns me off. Go Andy!</p>

<p>I thought the womanā€™s final was ho-hum, but it was refreshing to see a final without Serena or the Shrieker. And Iā€™ve always liked Amelie so happy for her that Marion won. </p>

<p>I donā€™t know which of the menā€™s finalists I dislike more, so I havenā€™t decided if Iā€™ll even watch.</p>

<p>Murray all the way. Win it for Britain!</p>

<p>Murray? A class act? Youā€™re hilarious.</p>

<p>My wish is that Scotland leaves the UK before he wins so annoying British people canā€™t claim it when he does.</p>

<p>I love everything about Novak. Heā€™s funny, heā€™s sincere, the completeness of his game etc. I like Murray (#2 favorite), but Novak wins out for me.</p>

<p>Also, I too found the British crowd absolutely appalling.</p>
