Wimbledon 2011 thread 20 June - 3 July

[GP]

It's funny how Borg spent so long away from Wimbledon, now he's there every year.

I think he is slightly drunk today too.

Borg.

Resistance is futile.

John Major and Alex Salmond in conversation. Jenson Button and Rory McIlroy (again!) are there too.

Andrew Castle gets the final again. FFS.

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.

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.

Hoping this is over by half 4.

Need a 3 set win.

Preferably for Rafa

[McNamara That Ghost...]

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

Andrew Castle gets the final again. FFS.

"These are tennis players. They use the raquet to hit the green ball."

"I will use my annoying voice to patronise the viewing public and teach them the basics."

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

Another shocker from the BBC
