you don't have to be a big tennis head to watch raonic and federer play each other and decide which is more pleasing to watch

pandemic what do you have against murray? just some euro beef?

dour, habit of having bum-fluffy facial hair, a bottler

Yeah, that's him.

i don't mind AM but he's definitely got things that you could dislike about him
― ♫ Corbyn's on fire / PLP is terrified ♫ (jim in glasgow), Friday, 8 July 2016 16:54 (eight years ago) link
I like him, the fact that he's unlikeable makes him more likeable.

gripping match here

it always kind of amazes me that you could be a tennis player who could probably beat 99.99% of the world at a game of tennis and someone like Murray can make you look like an amateur.
― scott seward, Friday, 8 July 2016 19:48 (eight years ago) link
and he's even beaten murray before.
― scott seward, Friday, 8 July 2016 19:49 (eight years ago) link
they had never played each other on grass before today. fun fact.
― scott seward, Friday, 8 July 2016 19:51 (eight years ago) link
not a lot of grass court tournaments

gonna be watching the finals in ~social situations so will unfortunately be absent but I'll take Serena in three and Murray in four

(Murray's first Slam final not against Djokovic or Federer, whoa. The "he's too miserable" complaint about him pales next to the fact that he's one of the few ATP players with progressive opinions tbh)
― the hallouminati (lex pretend), Saturday, 9 July 2016 06:31 (eight years ago) link
yeah i have encountered way too many IRL murray haters who think he's awfully sour and grumpy, tbh whenever he's interviewed i'm always impressed by how articulate and sensible he sounds
― art baengels (monotony), Saturday, 9 July 2016 08:54 (eight years ago) link
saw in passing the stat of murray making at least the qtrs in 21 of the last 22 majors i think? thats p killer

some outstanding rallies here

kerb looks good

@ work, missing this, bah!
― They could have been Stackridge. (Tom D.), Saturday, 9 July 2016 13:57 (eight years ago) link
That was a solid set, so many amazing rallies. Hoping Kerber keeps it up.
― Roz, Saturday, 9 July 2016 14:04 (eight years ago) link
The highlight reel from this match will be unreal - it's just been winner after winner from both players.
― Roz, Saturday, 9 July 2016 14:15 (eight years ago) link
so many points making me gasp
― cerealbar, Saturday, 9 July 2016 14:20 (eight years ago) link
Jesus this match
― Roz, Saturday, 9 July 2016 14:32 (eight years ago) link
Sad for Angie. Nice net hug! Serena was generally very very good. But Wimbledon's been won with worse play than Kerber showed.

This final was everything I wanted it to be. Stellar performance from two of my favorite player.
― volumetric god rays (DJP), Saturday, 9 July 2016 14:40 (eight years ago) link
And Serena gets 22, tying Steffi Graf's record.
Shame that had to end so soon - there were more amazing points in those two sets than the entirety of yesterday's Raonic-Fed five-setter.
― Roz, Saturday, 9 July 2016 14:41 (eight years ago) link
Meanwhile, drama and hilarity in the girls' final. So much foot-stamping and screaming in the last game - Potapova needing six championship points to close it out, thinking she won on at least two of them only for Yetremska to challenge, both times guessing right.
By the time Potapova actually won, she looked ready to jump over the net and throttle Yetremska.

so crazy that serena won her first grand slam in 1999. that is a long time ago. beat hingis. i remember that one. did not know that hingis won the doubles at the u.s. open last year. missed that one.
― scott seward, Saturday, 9 July 2016 17:37 (eight years ago) link
serena/venus in the doubles final now
― k3vin k., Saturday, 9 July 2016 18:19 (eight years ago) link
Maybe time to introduce best-of-5 women's tennis - dual purpose - shut up the bigots and make top matches possibly more classic

very special to see history made with such a great match yesterday! and bey in the crowd!

Excellent from Murray so far
― imago, Sunday, 10 July 2016 13:53 (eight years ago) link
Hewitt needs to pick a pronunciation of Raonic and stick with it, even if it's the wrong one.
(Quite a good match-up this, Milos displaying far more variety)
― Michael Jones, Sunday, 10 July 2016 14:04 (eight years ago) link
Far more variety than we usually see from him, I mean, not more than his opponent.
― Michael Jones, Sunday, 10 July 2016 14:07 (eight years ago) link
brilliant passes from murray all maych
― k3vin k., Sunday, 10 July 2016 14:27 (eight years ago) link
raonic has no shot coming in against murray's backhand today
― k3vin k., Sunday, 10 July 2016 14:55 (eight years ago) link
murray is serving good
― johnny crunch, Sunday, 10 July 2016 15:46 (eight years ago) link
murray gets back shots no_one short of novak gets back
― johnny crunch, Sunday, 10 July 2016 15:50 (eight years ago) link
raonic has done well to keep this respectable because murray has played one of the best matches i've seen him play
― k3vin k., Sunday, 10 July 2016 15:53 (eight years ago) link
srsly he has been great
― imago, Sunday, 10 July 2016 15:58 (eight years ago) link
good one! unbelievable some of the serves that Murray returned today. like, how the hell do you even do it?
― scott seward, Sunday, 10 July 2016 16:03 (eight years ago) link
He did the business for sure.

raonic seems like a nice kid tho
yeah, surprising
― imago, Sunday, 10 July 2016 16:13 (eight years ago) link
yeah i feel bad when people get slammed for not showing emotion or having fun or whatever when all they must be thinking inside their head is: AHHHHHHHHHHHH I'M IN THE FINALS AT WIMBLEDON HOLY SHIT! i mean you need to keep it together.
