Both Semis were fantastic, really enjoyed them. Just hope the final is not a walkover. My brother and his wife have tickets for the final.

Journo's will say anything to make themselves seem relevant and important, when really they're mostly 10 a penny.

The thing is Ben has turned it into a sexism debate when it isn't really one (for once).

yeah, which is just as muggy as women haters hating on equal pay (not saying all those that are against equal pay are women haters, but there's some of that shining through).

some women haters (caramba) are even equal pay

I wouldn't want any of the 216 minutes of Das Boot cut out

they're showing Bahrami shenanigans on me tv now. He was just seen giving HLR to Jonas Björkman during a match.

The thing is there's no good examples at slams because it's impossible because of the structure of them (ie. the women play a day ahead, so this can never happen the reverse way really, or is much less likely to do so). But I can think of many examples on tour of the women's final delaying the men's final, and we've, included Ben always moaned about the mugs complaining about this, you can't have it both ways.

probably in some muggy film like LOTR there's probably some pointless battles that you don't need

what's a HLR?

By:

n88uk When: 14 Jul 18 15:55

Lol any long films I do like I tend to like the full extended versions and love as much material added in.

Heart Lung Resuscitation, I see you call it CPR.

aaronh When: 14 Jul 18 15:57

can't believe the umpires allow Bahrami to just add an extra ball into the mix and not call it

Anyone else think Djokovic is free money to win this title now, realistically 1.1 or lower IMO.

Great game, maybe serving first there made the difference but hats of to novak, great to see him back, see how many slams mr federer wins now with the 2 lads back to form

By:

n88uk When: 14 Jul 18 15:59

Not worth it. Djokovic still hasn't got over the line and has shown fragility in doing so, he should win comfortably and dominate from the baseline, but there's enough doubts to not pile into him @ 1.1x.

stu When: 14 Jul 18 16:03

I know I said it before but Anderson will surely be massively out of shape - Djoker had to play today, but only two sets, so a nice warmup really.

By:

aaronh When: 14 Jul 18 16:04

i think it will be 3-0

Realistically no more, but I thought he was done winning Slams in 2011 so it was cool that he won another 4 after that. Novak could go on to dominate again, but it's unclear how his body will hold up.

great semi, one of the best we've seen.

And it does look like Joker really is back.

Once again, credit to Andy Murray who called it, the only one that did (the market certainly had no clue).
