They will have to scrape the Scottish Serb off the court for that to happen. The Fed serving very well though, but he will have to on Sunday..

"They will have to scrape the Scottish Serb off the court for that to happen."

Think you could be right.

Would be amazing for Fed to win. I think the place would go into complete meltdown.

For sure, yep.

Although i've backed Jock, it wouldn't hurt too much to see The Fed win..

A dream final for me tbh..

Far be it from me to tell someone when to retire but I'd love Fed to win, then retire.

What a way that would be for him to go out Grin

Try not to miss this - if possible.

The Invitation Seniors Mens Doubles

The match between

Bahrami & Leconte

and

McNamara & McNamee

You need to find it on youtube (if it's there) and it lasts just over an hour.

Tremendous fun for all, and a standing ovation at the end from a packed number 1 court.

He probably has as much intention as retiring as Tony McCoy.

The match between

Bahrami & Leconte

and

McNamara & McNamee


Can't find it on youtube Sad

It was great fun though, including some good tennis bearing in mind that  McNamee was playing with an obvious problem with his elbow, and also:

play briefly stopping and champagne being served from the cool box on court and the crowd singing 'happy birthday' to one of the players.

One shot coming off the frame of a racket and going onto the roof. LeConte asked for 'Hawkeye' to check it, which it tried to do. This came up on the screen - '???'

McNamara falling over, and playing the next 4 or 5 shots from just behind the net, on his knees.

LeConte serving two balls at once, everybody laughed as one went over the net, but was out, the other flew past the umpires chair. Everybody also laughed when the Ummpire called 'Double fault' which was met by fake anger from Leconte.

LeConte jovially shouting 'SHUT UP' to a young boy aged about 5 or 6, in the audience, as he had shouted something as he was about to serve.

LeConte climbed over the barricade and went up the stairs and got him from his mother, then sat him on a courtside chair, and told him to be quiet. Laugh

MacNamee then picked the boy up in his arms and held him while he played a few shots, I should think that boy will remember that for the rest of his life. He also got a players sweatband for his wrist.   

Planty of other laughs along the way, and once Bahrama and Leconte were on match point, Bahrama served, but had tucked the ball into his pocket, and all 4 players played a long invisible ball rally, in slow motion. 

Then Bahrami got it from his pocket, placed it just outside the sideline,  and shouted 'OUT' and ended the match.

Perhaps you can find it on the BBC I-player.

I'm not a happy bunny.

I was hoping to watch the Final on the TV but Mr Makybe ia watching F1 Angry and because some numpty had a crash on the first lap (no one was badly hurt thank goodness) it meant it was delayed by an hour Sad

I've only just found the link on the BBC website for internet coverage.

Anyway, I'm thrilled to see Fed one set up Excited

Horrible fall for Djoko, hope he's ok.

I want Fed to win but not because Djoko can't play his best tennis.

Hope F1 finishes soon, so I can have the TV
