Very excited for Konta.....do we think it's a forgone conclusion against Williams? I like to hope not, but I also like to be realistic!! She'll put up one hell of a fight though...go Konta!!

By the way, don't Australians play tennis these days? Strictly speaking Jo Konta is Aussie... Sad for her though. |

She played really well, and I hope she will win it one day. It's really lovely seeing Venus back too. I can't call the final at all.

I'm torn today. I love the idea of a new name on the trophy, and Muguruza's Spanish . . . BUT . . . I really like Venus.

Pleased for Garbiñe Muguruza, she played well, but Venus fell apart in that second set!!!

Well there you are. Everyone saying she doesn't stand a chance. Venus will win. And so on. A lesson for us all. Well, definitely for me!

He's having a bit of mare out there isn't he. I do feel very sorry for him but he's in danger of letting it get the better of him, which is the way it seems to be going at the moment. But who knows, there's a way to go yet...but maybe we'll be finding out the new Doctor sooner than expected!!

Yes a nice normal foot 😳
Let the subject rest there. Sorry I touched a sore spot there.

Disagreeing with someone does not a sore spot make.

I think the only sore spots were on his feet.

Sadly a very underwhelming end to an underwhelming two weeks of Singles' tennis at Wimbledon, particularly the Men's.

Yes, certainly won't go down in the history books this year. A few very entertaining matches, though, specifically Nadal v Muller for my money!

I said earlier in the thread that Nadal and Federer would not win Wimbledon and I was right. Well in a round about way Federer won more by circumstance than skill.
Felt sorry for the mixed doubles final, with 2 British players, looking at the royal box it was virtually empty.

Sad news that Jana Novotna has died of cancer aged just 49.
RIP Jana.
