Wimbledon 2019 (1st July - 14th July)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal went straight for Fed and he picked it!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-5, Nadal serving to stay in the match!

[Master Splinter]

Nadal pubbing it up at the net as well.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce on Nadal's serve!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer gives away the chance for match point. :haha:

[Mac76]

Smuggerer challenges and loses match point :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Doesn't matter in the end, more net juju from Fed.

Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Now it is match point!

Amazing returning.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Nadal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That backhand in the last two sets. :cloud9:

Deuce.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

:bow: to the both of them.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Fed!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce again.

I don't like this. :sick:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal holds on, Federer to serve it out!

:sick:

[Master Splinter]

Federer has been in The Zone all match apart from a handful of games in the second set when he ventured to the pub.

[Mac76]

Rafa holds - now come on ffs

[Mac76]

Federer has been in The Zone all match apart from a handful of games in the second set when he ventured to the pub.

* given a free pass by Rafa for a lot of the match

[McNamara That Ghost...]

15-0!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

15-15.

Eek.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

30-15, come on!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

30-30.

Piss it!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer does a Djokosmash!

Break point.

[Master Splinter]

Djokosmash!

[Mac76]

Smuggerer :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal had it!

Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Amazing at the net from Federer.

Match point!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce. What a point.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

:bow: and again!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ace brings up the fourth match point!

Nadal won it on the fourth Championship point in 2008 didn't he?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Geez what a backhand from Nadal.

Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fifth match point. Come on!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer duffs up Nadal 7-6 (7-3) 1-6 6-3 6-4 to reach his 12th Wimbledon final!!!! :bow:

Seems reasonable they'll have their first meeting at the US Open given they've both won at their 'home' courts against the other in their old age.

Commiserations to Nadal.

It however means it's another Djokovic - Federer final, the fifth!

[Mac76]

:sick:

Only Novak can save us from a smugfest now... :pray:

[Master Splinter]

Arrogant Swiss :bow:.

Clay court pusher :haha:.

[Master Splinter]

Federer looked like he was about to cry at the end.

I think he knows he played three out four flawless sets and has surprised himself again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barker sensed Nadal was trying to get back in to the match.

It's that kind of insight we are privileged to pay for.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Did Henman teleport to the studio? :blink:

[Mac76]

Rafa barely turned up, what a time to play like shite, free pass for the smugmeister, let's hope Novak's got his A game on Sunday

[Letters]

Fed the GOAT :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rafa barely turned up, what a time to play like shite, free pass for the smugmeister, let's hope Novak's got his A game on Sunday

As someone that favours Nadal, I'd have thought you would take the pain and want Djokovic to lose given Nole would again only be 2 slams behind Nadal.

[LDG]

Never seen maccy riled

[Master Splinter]

Maccy is a massive Fedtard.

Diss the Swiss at your peril.

[Letters]

What’s not to like about Fed? :unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Maccy is a massive Fedtard.

Diss the Swiss at your peril.

Master Becker. :bow:

[Mac76]

As someone that favours Nadal, I'd have thought you would take the pain and want Djokovic to lose given Nole would again only be 2 slams behind Nadal.

i do like Nadal but as much as that i'm 'anyone but Smugface' :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Halep is up a break on Serena!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

A double break now!

[Mac76]

Williams finding her feet in the last game but if Halep can keep going and take the first set will be a good match

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Halep. :bow:

Great pass.

Serena serving to stay in the first set at 1-5.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Which she does, Halep to serve it out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How did Halep get that back for 30-15? :blink:

[Mac76]

First set Halep :o

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Halep takes the first set 6-2! :bow:

[Mac76]

Serena channeling her inner godzilla :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Serena screaming at the net that she's a mother, probably.

[Mac76]

Halep holds serve :bow:

[Mac76]

Williams broken again :o

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Halep breaks!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Halep!

This would surely be the end really.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Halep breaks and will serve for the Championship!

[Mac76]

This is amazing, fantastic performance from Halep so far,

[McNamara That Ghost...]

15-0.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

30-0!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three Championship points! :bow:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

:trophy: :trophy: :trophy:

Beaten in an hour! :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Halep batters Serena 6-2 6-2 to win Wimbledon for the first time! :bow:

Her second Slam overall.

Serena. :haha:

Third Slam final defeat in a row, all by straight sets.

Time to give it up.

[Mac76]

Well done Halep, played Serena off the court, brilliant tennis :bow: :bow: :clap:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Halep literally played out of her mind says Serena. :sarcy:

[Master Splinter]

Serena :haha:.

Halep's decision to stop being a misery and not be so conservative seems to have paid off.

[Master Splinter]

Mahut's eye nearly taken out in the men's doubles final.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

A set apiece in that one, both going to a tie-break.

[Mac76]

It's been so close so far, some great play though

[Mac76]

Third set goes to tiebreak again... :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three tie-breaks? :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mahut booting off.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cabal/Farah take the third set 7-6 (8-6) however!

[Mac76]

Colombians win third set after umpire reverses an out call - Mahut not having a good day :lol:

[Mac76]

Mahut kicking off :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mahut/Roger-Vasselin break in the fourth set.

Long old wait for the women's doubles. :lol:

[Mac76]

Mahut loses serve! :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tie-break time again. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two set points have come and gone for Mahut/Roger-Vasselin. One remaining.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mahut/Roger-Vasselin take the fourth set 7-6 (7-5).

On to a fifth. :lol:

Sure to be 12-12.

[Mac76]

Now they're closing the roof...

[Mac76]

What's the bet they get to 12-all and another tiebreak? :lol:

[Mac76]

Colombians break serve

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Took them five attempts. :lol:

[Mac76]

...and the french break back... unbelievable

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oh FFS. :lol:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

:haha:

After being hit in the head earlier, Mahut just got smacked in the chest, next point and he's got one flush in the plums!

[Mac76]

Colombians try to take out the french players :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cartel doing the hits. :bow:

[Mac76]

This is turning into rollerball

[Mac76]

Colombians break again - serving for matxh...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Match point!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cabal/Farah win 6-7 (5-7) 7-6 (7-5) 7-6 (8-6) 6-7 (5-7) 6-3!

4 hours 56. :lol:

[Mac76]

Colombians win - great match :clap:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Women's doubles held over until tomorrow.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BBC's programme starts now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Players are warming up now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed holds first game. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Awful dropshot from Djokovic, he was in to the point.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce on Djokovic's serve. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Djokovic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He cannot hold however, Federer with another forehand winner down the line.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Federer!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer blows it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic holds, 2-2. :sick:

[Mac76]

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed's skill on the half volley is going to be crucial.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great backhand pass from Djokovic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a dropshot slice from Fed!

0-30 on Djokovic's serve!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

30-30. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic double faults on game point.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic holds again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Unbelievable backhand from Federer, he was up against it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brilliant play from Federer, Djokovic again serving to stay in the set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic holds to love.

It's tie-break time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a miss from Fed!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-3 at the changeover!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer has the mini-break!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed gives it away. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Set point for Djokovic. :sick:

Fuck this.

[Mac76]

First set Novak

Smuggerer :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer breaks at the start of the second set and leads 1-0! :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-30 on Djokovic's serve. :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three break points for Fed!

WTF?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two break points remaining.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed gets the double break and leads 3-0 in the second set! Wow.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-4. :blink:

[Mac76]

Novak throwing the set to stretch the match out :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nole avoids a bagel at least.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic serving to stay in the second set at 1-5!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer. :bow:

Narrow slice winner.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three set points for Federer!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer batters Djokovic 6-1 in the second set!

Fed to serve first though. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic already won as many games as in the second set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed will be massively gutted if he somehow loses this. He's serving out of a tree.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shankovic. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-4 in the third set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Serverer. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce. Fuck it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cyborgovic holds on, 5-5.

[Mac76]

Novak holds :clap:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic serving to force a tiebreak.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a backhand pass from this old git.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It is tie-break time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic leads 1-5 at the changeover.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two set points for Djokovic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic takes the third set 7-6 (7-4).

Unbelievable.

[Mac76]

Novak :clap:

Smuggerer :haha:

[Master Splinter]

No break points for Djokovic but he's two sets to one up.

Raonic :lol:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

If Federer loses this set 6-3, he'd have won the same amount of games as Djokovic. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic holds, Fed to serve.

Will see where Federer is at. In pieces I'd have thought.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed does hold.

Me. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer still somehow avoiding facing break points.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two break points for Federer!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Crowd being wankers, Nole is ready to serve.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed holds, 2-4.

Bif is there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed going mental like he did in the fourth set in 2014.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Federer! :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer breaks and will serve for the fourth set!

Bonkers.

[Master Splinter]

Djokovic with two Kygrios sets now.

Djokovic to win the final set tie-break without a break point?

Would be pretty funny.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tomic woz robbed.

[Master Splinter]

Federer is certainly not a GOAT challenger.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic has a break point! :faint:

[Master Splinter]

:faint:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oh sweet jesus, what a point!

Deuce.

35 shots.

[Master Splinter]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Djokovic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic does get one of the breaks back!

[Mac76]

:lol: cmon bogbrush

[Master Splinter]

Hawkeye trolling Federer.

[Master Splinter]

Worst volley ever from Djokovic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic holds on, Federer with the second chance to serve it out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

15-0!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

30-0!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three set points for Fed!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer takes the fourth set 6-4!!!

On to a fifth. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer off for his second shit of the match.

[Letters]

Fed :bow:

Fed haters :haha:

[Mac76]

Fed :bow:

Fed haters :haha:

Maybe wait til the end of the match? ;)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Not really the time for double faults Nole.

[Master Splinter]

Maybe wait til the end of the match? ;)

Letters isn't even a Fedtard.

He's worse - a glory hunter.

[Letters]

Maybe wait til the end of the match? ;)

Why all the hate for Fed, out of interest?
He’s the GOAT, or certainly in the conversation.
And seems to be a decent bloke with it.
I want Fed to win but wouldn’t begrudge either of them the title. Two fantastic players.

[Letters]

Letters isn't even a Fedtard.

He's worse - a glory hunter.

:lol: City :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce on Djokovic's serve!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Djokovic.

[Mac76]

Phew

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic holds. :sick:

[Mac76]

Why all the hate for Fed, out of interest?
He’s the GOAT, or certainly in the conversation.
And seems to be a smug egotistical git with it.
I want Fed to win but wouldn’t begrudge either of them the title. Two fantastic players.

Corrected ;)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Looking grim now.

[Master Splinter]

:lol: City :bow:

I bet you "supported" Huddersfield in the twenties.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two break points for Djokovic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Somehow this old git saves them both!

[Letters]

Two break points for Djokovic.

Both saved!

Deuce

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Djokovic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Saved with an ace.

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Methuselah holds.

How does he keep doing it?

[Letters]

Fed holds :bow:

[Letters]

Methuselah holds.

How does he keep doing it?

Very humbly and with great charm

[McNamara That Ghost...]

40-0 to Deuce!

[Letters]

Deuce from 40-0!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Djokovic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic clinging on.

[Mac76]

Methuselah holds.

How does he keep doing it?

Having the entire wimbledon crowd wanking off over him probably helps

[Letters]

Djokovic flukes another service game :sulk:

[Letters]

Having the entire wimbledon crowd wanking off over him probably helps

I like to think my wanking off over him also helps.
Helps me, anyway.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two more break points for Djokovic.

[Letters]

15-40 :sick:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic breaks and leads 4-2 in the fifth.

Fuck.

[Letters]

Djokovic breaks :sick:

[Master Splinter]

Hope Djokovic shushes the crowd.

[Mac76]

Smuggerer loses serve :haha:

Bogbrush :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Castle would provide instructions on how to read an instruction booklet.

What a banal twit.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic double faults. Break point Fed!

[Letters]

Break point!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shit rallyball. Deuce.

Federer breaks back!!! Come on!!!

[Letters]

FED BREAKS BACK!!

[Mac76]

:sick:

[Letters]

This is brilliant :lol:

[Mac76]

This is brilliant :lol:

I'd like to report a factually incorrect post :police:

[Letters]

Awful shot from Djokovic

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How has Nole hit the net cord there?!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed holds, it's 4-4!

:bow:

[Letters]

I'd like to report a factually incorrect post :police:

:lol: Come on, dude.
This is amazing tennis.
I love Fed. Carnally.
But this is a great contest between two incredible sportsmen.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a dropshot!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Done him with the dropshot again. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer won Wimbledon for the first time in 2003, Castle.

[Master Splinter]

Iggy Pop dressed as Borg in the crowd.

[Letters]

He’s gone drop shot crazy!
Djokovic holds.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic holds.

[Mac76]

:lol: Come on, dude.
This is amazing tennis.
I love Fed. Carnally.
But this is a great contest between two incredible sportsmen.

I'm mainly watching the cricket, just using the wimbledon app then switxhing over for important moments
