Wimbledon 2018

*MODS couldn't see a thread. Pls merge if there is one*

Currently watching the most tedious and longest semi finals match ever. 5th set but the play is so repetitive.
 

Wimbledon 2018

24-24 in the final set.

Have to admire their fitness levels.

This match reminded me of the 1980s and 1990s when the serve was dominate.

Biggest problem tennis has is that once Novak, Fed and Nadal retire there really isn't anything else ....

Fatigue won the day there.
Isner could hardly move in the last game.

Nonsense, he won a longer match!

11h05 Wimbledon 2010, 1st Round: United States John Isner def. France Nicolas Mahut, 6–4, 3–6, 6–7(7–9), 7–6(7–3), 70–68 (3 days).

bloody hell. Now I know the reference when the spectator in the crowd shouted we don't want a 70-68.

More quality in the first game between Nadal and Djok than the previous match.

70-68 final set? Jesus.
 

Wimbledon 2018

The quality of tennis in the Nadal Djok match in the first 7 games is better than anything of the previous 6 hours plus of the other semi.

What I did like about the interview of with Anderson after his win he was apologies towards John Isner, very honest guy

Yes you could see earlier that Isner as struggling with his fitness, He was not chasing around and I think he thought I. can win this with my bigger servers alas he didn’t

Watching these two guys, I still remember the US open final in 2011 between Nadal and Djok. In terms of quality probably on par with the 2008 Wimbledon Final although it never reached a 5th set but the first three sets was mind-blowing.

Apparently those blokes in the semi final played as long today and the Williams woman has played in the whole tournament.....do they get paid the same now.

blessed to have been in an era with Fed, Nadal and Djok with supporting actors in Murray and if it wasn't for his injuries Potro

Think you can add Wawrinka to the list of supporting cast members.

Quality of tennis at the very top of the game over the last 10-15 years has been spectacular.

Don’t think I can watch much more of this Wimbledon final. Djokovic bounces the ball 25 times every ****ing point. Even for second serves !! Complete borefest pisstake
 

Wimbledon 2018

Just watched Djokovic mouth to the upmitpre to tell the crowd to SHUT THE **** UP as they made a noise during the rally. The umpire asked the crowd to be quiet but didn’t warn Djokovic. What an arrogant person Djokovic is .He won’t live in his own country

Why does he have to do that silly celebration at the end, yes maybe he loves the crowd but my wife and I don’t love him , what a prat

The other Murray is currently playing in the mixed doubles final. Winning 3-2.

Not really up to date with this thread......when does Wimbledon start this year??

Probably the least watched Wimbledon ever. Only one game stood out and that was the Nadal Djok semi.

Kind of feel sorry for the people that paid top dollar to watch that final. Glad I gave it a miss.

Sport seems to be going like that.

The major events, Grand National, The Derby, The Boat Race, all seem to be going unnoticed.

Wimbledon was probably not helped by the World Cup, that was on at the same time.
