Kudos to Murray for a great tourney...He WILL win a Slam one day. Just not this year IMO.

He has to win a non-British tourney first, in order to conquer Wimby and although I feel he can win at the AO, I think he has to aim for the USO (if not this year, next year).

No, you didn't spoil anything H. My comment came just after I'd seen Murry lose. I'm just disappointed once again...

Hey Nyssa, sorry if I misunderstand...

Murray has already won a number of tournaments, some quite large ATP events including Shanghai Masters, Miami and Cincinnati.

Oh I see...You mean Murray needs to win one of the other Slams before taking SW19. Gotcha.

Agree, his best shot may be at Melbourne - when that finally happens, he should feel much less pressure at Wimbledon.

@orlok: phew...glad I didn't ruin anything for you.

OK...Men's picks!

Nadal or Djokovic?

I am gonna go with the Joker...In 4 tough, close sets.

I'm going with you. He's going to be world #1 as of Monday whatever the result, isn't he?

lestatar · 07-02-2011, 04:38 AM

^ Yup. Number 1 after his win over Tsonga in semis. No matter the result on Sunday.

Nyssa · 07-02-2011, 10:05 AM

Sorry for the confusion...yeah, I meant a Slam.
As for the men's final..I have no idea. It would not surprise me if the Joker won, though...He's been on fire.

As for the women...Kvitova has taken the first set and is up a break in the 2nd.

lestatar · 07-02-2011, 02:18 PM

^ wow....Just wow....
Hats off to Kvitova...a helluva display against a very tournament sharp Maria.

0-2 for this doggie

Yeah, Kvitova played a great match.

0-2 for me as well.

orlok · 07-02-2011, 03:10 PM

Yes. Well done her. Nice to see the underdog win through

Nyssa · 07-03-2011, 10:22 AM

Novak is taking Rafa to the woodshed right now ...6'4, 4'1

Nyssa · 07-03-2011, 10:50 AM

Joker took the 2nd set 6'1 (yes 6'1) but now Rafa is on the come back trail 4'1 in the 3rd.

Looks like the tide is turning, at least for a moment. Nadal now 4 games to 1 up in the third set.

lestatar · 07-03-2011, 11:50 AM

Its all said and done. Right now, Novak Djokovic is the best tennis player on the planet.

An excellent year thus far.

We will see about US Open - GO FED!

A great Wimbledon this year IMO...sad as always to see it end.

Thanks so much to everyone for chiming in here

orlok · 07-03-2011, 12:19 PM

Yes, it has been fun, and I have to say the best player won in the end. Thanks for the thread H

Nyssa · 07-03-2011, 12:23 PM

This has been fun, it is so nice to have other tennis fans with whom I can share my joys & frustrations.

Thank you for starting the thread, Les, and I hope we can do this again for the USO.
