liv Posted July 12, 2019 Posted July 12, 2019 Great job, Roger!! If Rafa had pulled off the break there and evened up the 4th set he would have had the momentum and who knows what would have happened....... so lucky to see the best 2 players ever play against each other. Good luck to Simona tomorrow. The tennis gods have been very kind to Serena. When Osaka lost early and Pliskova, Barty and Kvitova lost to lower ranked people in the quarters, giving her an easier road to the final i figured the stars were aligning for her. I hope it is a good match and Halep gives it her all.

Sombreuil Posted July 13, 2019 Posted July 13, 2019 I’m really pleased for her - she played so well. Just spoken to my my mother (89) who was thrilled by the ladies match ( she was a keen player in her day) - she says she doesn’t dare to watch Federer tomorrow as she’s afraid of jinxing him - relatable ....
liv Posted July 13, 2019 Posted July 13, 2019 I actually didn't see the match today, but the numbers, only 3 unforced errors (!) and the score tell the story. Congratulations to Simona, and Romania, on the Wimbledon Championship. And how adorable was it to hear her say she had really hoped the Duchess of Cambridge would be there to watch and then she got to meet her. I think she's having a very good day!
Sombreuil Posted July 13, 2019 Posted July 13, 2019 My mother loves an underdog who plays clever rather than power tennis - her all time favourite was Maria Bueno. We disagreed horribly over Navratilova v Evert. Martina is my all time fave
liv Posted July 13, 2019 Posted July 13, 2019 I like the clever ones too... so many ball bashers that just hit hard these days and don't have all the skills and touch. My favourite is Steffi. Yes, fraulein forehand kind of makes my claim a lie, but she had smarts too and a clever little slice and could run forever. It wasn't all just bash bash. I enjoyed the Steffi v. Martina matches when Martina was still prime and Steffi was up and coming. Two total opposites made the matches very interesting. I consider them greater than Serena, no matter what the numbers say.
Sombreuil Posted July 13, 2019 Posted July 13, 2019 I love the serve volley game and Martina is the queen of that for me and always will be.
Veveco Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 Roger and Novak are having another epic match 11-11 in the 5th and counting...

Veveco Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 Officially now the longest finale ever for Wimbledon...
sallycinnamon Posted July 14, 2019 Author Posted July 14, 2019 What an incredible match it was...one of the best I have ever seen. Congratulations to Novak! Roger had so many chances to win this final but he couldn't, this defeat will hurt him a lot, overall he played better today, but I think he beat himself at the most crucial points too
Sombreuil Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 I think our remote is broken- himself was zapping between the cricket and tennis all afternoon, like a child with advanced ADD.
ralucutzagy Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 An epic breathtaking match! They both deserved to win! Amazing! Congratulations, Nole! Roger was so close! I'm sad for him because he played really good! OMG
