Wimbledon 2011 thread 20 June - 3 July

Adv. Federer.

Fed wins 6-7 (5-7) 6-3 6-3 6-3. Quite a good match really.

Federer. Kinda.

It's quite worrying for the game in general to not have some big US players. None of the youngsters coming through look like anything special. Their top men (Roddick, Fish, Querrey, Isner) are all one-dimensional too.

At least Raonic looks like a genuinely good prospect for Canada! Shame he got injured here.

With respect to the financial side of things, you might be right. However, when considering it on a purely sporting level, this is actually a good thing. It shows that the world is doing well in tennis rather than just two or three countries. At the moment, there are 7 different countries represented in the quarter-finals. If Nadal wins his match, there will be two Spaniards whereas del Potro would make it 8 different countries.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Nadal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal breaks and leads 3-2 in the fourth set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Del Potro is serving to stay in the match at 5-3 down.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And he does. Nadal serving for the match.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal wins 7-6 (8-6) 3-6 7-6 (7-4) 6-4.

Great match.
