prolly the only tennis fan on the board...
 

but Kudo's to you Serena...

Great comeback. Winning Wimbleton at 32 is not an easy thing to do.

Serena is amazing and no one really gives a **** lol

I used to watch tennis a lot back when we had Agassi and Sampras

And Borg, McEnroe and Conners

Thunder Thighs wins another. Hope Federer takes care of business tomorrow

I only watch tennis when its two hot women "grunting" as they hit the ball. Otherwise, its unwatchable.

Tennis is a great sport to watch.

& Serena is one of the All time greats

Hope I get to Wembley before she hangs it up

Wow, that is impressive. What a great athlete.

Tennis might be the only sport where its more entertaining watching the women than the men.

Completely disagree. Women's tennis is just so much worse than men's tennis that I honestly can't watch it unless somebody hot is playing.

Federer-Murray should be a good one tomorrow. There's a lot at stake for both players.

Nice!:thumb:

I remember dressing like Serena Williams for Halloween one year.

My buddy was Venus.

We looked good for being white.

God I hope Federer loses.

Normally, I would agree, but Murray is such a little bitch, I hate seeing him win. Same with Djokovic.

Tennis, at least it's not soccer.

I came into this thread to express my vehement irritation with the use of the abbreviation "prolly."

Carry on.

He should be winning most matches even at his age.. Serena and her brother are dudes..

And when they **** are the women going to start going 3/5.. They have had equal pay for a while, make them winning win 3 matches..

It seems to me that the only top player who doesn't have a bitchy demeanor on court is Federer (although even he was a bit of a whiner back in his youth).

"YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!!!!!"

Nadal isn't too bad, most of the time. Djokovic really pissed me off when he got upset at the crowd at the US Open rooting for Roddick instead of him. WTF did he expect? And then he goes and insults the crowd? Lame. They weren't actively rooting against him until he started getting pissed that they were going for the hometown boy.

That Djokovic stuff was a while ago (2008, I think). IIRC, he was upset about a comment Roddick made about him feigning injury before that match began. He's never really had the crowds on his side, but he finally learned last year how to harness that energy in a positive way.

Did you see Nadal's match against Rosol last week? The guy acted like a spoiled child, complaining to umpires and even intentionally bumping the guy on the changeover. I know he was frustrated that he was about to lose to some no-name who was locked in, but there is no reason to act like that ever.

Yeah, it was a while ago. I just never got over it. And Djokovic did feign injury almost every match a while ago. He would start losing, then call for the trainer. Sometimes, instead of taking the loss, he'd just quit the match.

I missed the Nadal match.

Found the video:

Also from Nadal's match last week (which was one of the most ridiculous matches I've ever seen considering the kind of zone Rosol was in):

Nadal has always been pretty respectful on the court. I don't think his behavior this week will become the norm for him

He's pretty respectful on the court when he's winning (which, fortunately for him, happens nearly every match he plays). When he's losing, though, he regresses to this bitchy state often.

I used to love tennis and boxing. Now neither one does much for me. The personalities are gone.

If they could merge the two at the net that would be sweet. Still both > soccer

Tennis is alright. I enjoy watching the Williams sisters. The sport needs a new McEnroe though.

this

Agassi,Sampras,Chang,Daveport,Seles,Hingis


enjoyed it then


Serena seems to be getting more and more attitude, so i like her less and less.

ive played tennis my entire life and grew up on sampras and agassi, so not having any americans in the sport worth a damn its so hard to care much anymore.

I'm rooting for the Brit just because the Olympics start in London soon and they won't win squat.

Serena, Venus, and Dr Dre are from Compton... So...

I happen to believe that both tennis and hockey are vastly underrated by Americans as spectator sports. Both are fast and very highlight-friendly. I'll be on the road today, so I'll miss the men's final, but I hope Federer pulls through.

Federer's unforced errors keeping Murray in the match

Federer gives away the first set 6-4

excellent

when the hell did NBC stop covering Wimbledon? Is there a stream anywhere online to watch this?

Espn or Wimbledon.com

I couldn't find anything but live radio on Wimbledon.com. Thankfully, espn3 has it.

Is Federer trying to lose?

I hate serena. I will never root for her.

Cant sTand the womens game. So much unnecessary and weird grunting and as soon as someone hits #1 they lose it in a week.

I think the same time they picked up the boys with shriveled nuts riding bikes in France.

Federers forehand is spraying all over the place today.

Stupid that they put that on. How many actually want to watch guys riding bikes?

FEDERER TAKES SET 2 7-5

ROFL

Murray getting ready to crack?

Sure hope the delay benefits Murray

False. I give ****s. She's a badass.

This has been a pretty awesome match so far.

Whoa When did they put a roof on centre court?

Does John just wad up his suits into a suitcase? His suits always look like wrinkled crap.

I think they said they've only used it 4 times. Did anyone else hear that?

This year is the first year they didn't.

Yes, no consistency at the top of the sport among the elite payers in women's tennis.

On the subject of ESPN3. Why do they seem to let you watch practically all major events on it but not MNF?

Very high level from both players so far.

I think Murray, when he's playing his best, is better than Federer's current best. The question is whether he can hold his nerves over the course of an entire match. He's never done it before at this stage.

Serena could do it, but she doesn't play enough tournaments to hold her ranking up.

Perhaps, I don't think she's as committed to the sport as she used to be. Before this Wimbledon, she'd lost fairly early in three of her last four slams. Guys at the top level of the men's game just don't do that. In fact, Nadal's 2nd round loss here is the first time I can remember in years that any one of Djokovic/Nadal/Federer/Murray has lost early in a slam.

Federer hasn't lost before the QFs in a slam since the 2004 FO in the 3R. Ridiculous streak actually. Nadal's last time before Rosol here was the 2009 FO loss to Soderling in the 4th round. Djokovic's last early loss was the 2009 FO in the 3rd round. Even Murray, the least consistent among them, hasn't lost early since the 2010 USO in the 3rd.

She was also injured, iirc.

Federer finally breaks his ass

What a game. What effort from both of them. Federer comes out on top...I wonder if that will demoralize him.

That's another thing that's ridiculous about the top men's players. They're never hurt (or it just seems that way and they're able to excel despite injuries). Del Potro was in the running to join that elite before his injury.

Agreed.

Roids

They might be the most well conditioned athletes in any sport

Or some kind of other PEDs maybe. There's a lot out there.

Aren't they piss tested like most other sports?

I find it amazing how Djokovic, Nadal, and Murray are able to reach as many balls as they do. It's like they're playing on clay in every match.

A ton actually, I think. Don't forget that there's always undetectable PEDs being produced, though.

Federer seems to be pulling away

I love how Federer will kick in the cruise control and let you beat yourself if you want.

Don't see Murray giving up like he has in the past. He's playing so well. I wouldn't be surprised to see this go 5 at all.

I'm watching Federer hand Murray a beatdown.

Murray in trouble

Ridiculous shot to take the break there. He went behind Murray. Not looking good, Andy. Federer has seemingly entered his god-mode.

Federer is still really good at tennis, guys.
