Yes yes and yes.
Jerzy lost his way a bit in the 4th set, but Andy Murray still had to put him away.
Heres hoping Sunday we get a British Winner at last.

Could be another epic match if their last two finals are anything to go by. Could see it rank up there with Federer-Nadal, Becker-Edberg et al

The good news is Andy's got another crack at that gorgeous Wimbledon Trophy. :bound:
The bad news is I didn't win the final tickets. :no:
But Andy's still in it to win it and I have Wimbledon goodies on their way to me so everyone's a winner...except the Murray haters!

Yes, 6/4 for destiny to happen! (Though if he loses the first set, his price will probably drift to 5/1).

Has anyone ever seen Murray crack a smile? Fantastic player he undoubtedly is, miserable young mucker he is too. Love to watch him play, just wish he were a bit more likeable!!

Went to my mate's funeral yesterday - he died after being hit on the head with a tennis ball at Wimbledon.
It was a lovely service !

Murray did well yesterday and I've warmed to him over the years but Djokovic is a great player and a class act who I can't see losing.

Murray is playing great tennis but Djokovic is world number one for a reason, as mentally tough as they come and has the edge over him in grand slam head to heads.
More tears for Murray I think with Djokovic winning in four, maybe five.

From Reuters.....
"Beneath Williams, who won three of the last four slams, the WTA tour is a hotbed of inconsistency where any number of players could rise from obscurity to challenge the so-called big names."

The quality of women's tennis is truly rubbish at the moment. How much are people paying for tickets to watch this? Not exactly value for money compared to the men's semis yesterday.

Nervy start from Lisicki...hoping it'll warm up nicely in the 2nd set to match the weather.
Still hoping Lisicki in 3 which is what I said before the start.

And the women want, and get, equal pay as the men! Start playing 5 sets and then see whether the women deserve to be paid the same. Women's tennis is boring to watch, IMO, nothing like as athletic and powerful as men's tennis. Although some are very pleasing on the eye!

Quite happy with my £7 on Bartoli at 6/4 at the moment, Lisicki hasn't turned up (yet).

I guess they get equal pay because people are prepared to pay just as much to watch them, rather than how much work they have to do for the money. But I can't see the attraction myself (says he spending the afternoon on the sofa watching it) - if I just want to look at good-looking women I'd be watching something else.
It's not just the lack of pace and power, which is inevitable given the physical differences. But there's no reason why the proportion of unforced errors should be so much higher.

My thoughts entirely. I was gutted for her, having liked her ever since she did well at Wimbledon 4 years ago. Unfortunately she was just totally overwhelmed by the occasion (just like the Bees in play off finals & Mickey Mouse cup finals) and did not do herself justice. This was always a possibility as this was her first Grand Slam final and she was bound to be nervous. Well done to Bartoli, though. She's a real character and I'd much rather see someone like her winning Wimbledon than the likes of Williams, Sharapove or Azarenka. I would suggest, though, that Marion should give a huge thank you to Sabine for putting out Williams and Radwanska, among others, on her way to the final!
Looking forward to seeing Sabine (and her lovely smile) at Wimbledon again next year. Reaching the final this year was a HUGE bonus as it was so unexpected but it was really sad to see her perform so badly today since I'm convinced that she'd have won if she'd have been in anything like the form she showed against Stosur, Williams and Radwanska. Sadly, nerves and the occasion got the better of her.
Thanks for so much joy in the rest of the two weeks before today, Sabine! Hopefully, you'll be able to rectify matters in one of the next few years if you can add some more consistency to your game, and your experience today will hopefully stand you in good stead like being in the final six years ago was for Bartoli.

Murray's not exactly a looker is he?
"So, Kim Sears, what first attracted you to the multi-millionaire tennis player Andy Murray?"

You big softie...had a tear in my eye. :sad:
But I wasn't too upset as I know she'll be back and I'm sure she'll be a future Wimbledon Champ.
Bartoli has showed that even if you get to the final and lose and then a number of years pass...the desire and will to win just increases.

As for Murray...if he don't win his time, expect floods of

Everything crossed it's Andy's turn today.
