Any one watching this. He'll play Federer on Centre Court if he wins.

Oh well good effort.

Oh well good effort.

Sorry I missed it. Wouldn't it have been wonderful to see him play Federer?

[Ah Well]

Sorry I missed it. Wouldn't it have been wonderful to see him play Federer?

Dunno .. isn't it better to see him bowl out at this point after a closely fought and enjoyable contest rather than watch a next round slaughter ensue?

Roger Federer is a really nice guy. But if you are facing him on the other side of the net, he may not appear that way. You don't achieve his level of success without an utterly ruthless streak driving you on.

Every time I hear about British hopes at Wimbledon resting on the shoulders of Andy Murray it reminds me of this Monty Python sketch

Well Andy Murray is in tomorrow's final against Federer.

I watched the match against Tsonga yesterday and enjoyed it hugely. Not a serve and volley power game so technically perfect as to be a bit boring, but unpredictable (lots of unforced errors) and exciting.

I can't see Murray beating Federer tomorrow on that basis, but the British fans will go wild if he does. It's been a long wait wince 1938 for the Wimbledon hosts to see a Briton in the men's final. As an interviewee however he is unwatchable, averting his eyes, seeming to resent questions. Perhaps he just needs to concentrate so much on maintaining focus that the interview is a disruption.

Women's final today . i enjoyed seeing the Williams sisters in the doubles and Serena should win on that kind of form, but I haven't seen her opponent play this week.

As expected, Serena Williams beat Radwanska in three sets. 6-1,5-7, 6-2.

Some fabulous rallies.

I'm guessing four sets tomorrow - 3 to one for Federer.

[DCon]

As expected, Serena Williams beat Randowski in two straight sets.

Where's McEnroe when you need him?

Randowski??

I saw her playing Agnieszka Radwanska in the Ladies Singles Final in 3 sets.

Seemingly, she later won the Ladies Doubles Final with her sister.

Then she played "Randowski"?

Wow, she WAS busy yesterday!

[Spectabilis]

Oops

I am really hoping Federer wins today to Match the record of Sampras at Wimbledon to take his Grand Slam total to 17. There is a certain increase in the media attention this is getting here in Switzerland ahead of the match but nothing wild. In the UK, however, it seems that the hype has gone into overdrive on Murray. Of course, after waiting so long for a British finalist, it is not really surprising but Murray will do well if he can block all this from his mind.

[Slim Buddha]

Oops

Radwanska won the second set, Spectabilis, 7-5.

[Spectabilis]

Oops again. My career as a sports journalist over before it started.

Federer has a great following at Wimbledon who feel the same way as you. There will be anguish one way or another.
