Azarenka let it slip away though. The mental strength of Hleb.

Serena can do one, basically.
Men's final starts at about 9:20 ish I think.
[QUOTE=McNamara That Ghost...;190878]Serena can do one,
i think she appears to be a spoilt brat off the court but on it, she is a fascinating watch.
powerful but quietly intense behind her strong build make her such interesting to figure out on court.
She's sure got some balls.
Apart from glare at line judges whenever they dare to say, give her a foot fault? :lol: And as far as we know, say to a line judge she will kill her? :lol:Quote:

Fair enough :haha:Quote:

In terms of entertainment value, the men's game is probably as good as it has ever been....in terms of an open competitive field not so much
Since Wimbledon 2010, no-one out of the exclusive group of Federer, Nadal, Djokovic and Murray has made it even to a Grand Slam final....in fact it's fairly a common occurrence for that quartet to make up the semi final line ups as well. I know Murray isn't on the same platform as Nadal, Federer and Djokovic but he's consistently better than anyone else on the tour.
Also there are no youngsters coming through at the moment, the likes of Raonic and Tomic don't look anywhere near the standard needed to compete for majors.
Look how young Nadal was when he won his first major, there is no-one of that age bracket currently or even of 20-21 getting near the business end of Grand Slams.
Not sure if i should watch the final tonight or not or just follow it on bbc website/radio
Not the same but i cba going downstairs to watch something that might go on for hours
They have raised the bar considerably high for everything; mental strength, playing abilities, physicality, physical longevity. There are still good players on the tour but if they are just short on only one of those areas, they're unlikely to beat those guys - or if they beat one, they won't beat the other.Quote:

And that's the thing, they can keep pushing and pushing each other but eventually they go so high up the scale that it leaves the others with not a hope in hell as it stands. And that's the case for Masters events too, let alone Grand Slams!
However, Federer and Nadal are the most likeliest to go (not that I expect them to for another two years at least yet).
Go down when someone is a set away from winning it. Having said that, it could be a repeat of the Australian Open semi. :lol:Quote:

Bus-Parking?....compared to what.....serve-volleying which has practically been made redundant by the athleticism of the top four. For me it's just good court coverage.
Nadal must have the knees of a sixty year old with arthritis.....it's not good for a player his age to have had the injuries he has had and to have missed the tournaments he has....you look at Federer he's pretty much featured in every Grand Slam for the past ten years. I wouldn't be surprised if he has called time on his career by the time he is 30. Federer could still have a few years left in him but I think he will struggle to win anymore majors....Djokovic will dominate the hard courts....Nadal will own Roland Garros for a few more years and Wimbledon is a toss up between them. It will be interesting to see if Nadal can win seven more grand slams in his career to overtake Federer (assuming of course Federer remains on 17 and for the life of me I can't see where he will pick up another one) I'd like to think not because although Nadal is an exceptional athlete and can wear anyone down, i think Federer is the more consummate all round Tennis player with more variety in his locker.
aint you got a lap top or pc upstairs just watch it on a stream there.Quote:
