It's funny how Borg spent so long away from Wimbledon, now he's there every year. :lol:
I think he is slightly drunk today too.
Borg. :bow:
Now we have a piece on Fred Perry. :unsure:
Wasn't he pissed off for a while because after being out for a while they did not offer him a wild card automatic place and asked him to complete in the pre-wimbledon play-offs to earn a place in the finals? I seem to remember him being annoyed that a multiple Wimbledon champion would have to do that.Quote:

They should be honoured to be there with him. He's much better.
I think they were fishing for him to praise Wimbledon.
Also, the players are coming out on court now.
Maybe. Thing is, it is like comparing the 1971 double side with the invincibles. Games move on - if McEnroe, Becker and Borg had been players in the current era, how would their game techniques have changed? Impossible to say. All we can say is that McEnroe, Borg, Becker, Nadal, Federer, Sampras and Laver were truly great players of the game.Quote:

Andrew Castle gets the final again. FFS.
You can only judge these things on Slams really. They all played in a highly comptetive field of great players. Nadal has 10 at the age 25 and will win alot more. McEnroe had 7, Becker had 6. And Nadal has won everything.Quote:

Preferably for Rafa
Twice Djokovic has stumbled. Gets through the game though, 1-0, Nadal to serve.

It's just odd they give the final to an ITV guy. The stupidity comes with the territory.Quote:

Alan Rickman is there. :bow:
Get Johnny Mac, Becker and Rusedski in there
Alan Rickman is there :bow:
Absolves him for his Harry Potter association.

Brilliant in the Harry Potter films :bow:
Becker is, it just sounds like he is elsewhere.Quote:

I think Centre Court will get more ravaged today than it has been over the last two weeks.
He has a strangely endearing sense of humour and is actually very self-deprecating.Quote:

Still on serve, 4-3 Djokovic leads.

Good luck with the interviews. :good:
