The Tennis Thread

[Tredman]

Looking forward to this, quite enjoying the tennis this year. The Williams sisters in doubles yesterday was phenomenal.

Following online and seems a shame to miss the raonic/federer match. Looks a good game.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

It's as good as a Chairman Rao game ever is. I wouldn't say it's that great.

 

[lemonjelly]

Ah! Well, I'm gonna have to pedal my little arse off to try to get to watch the murray game. Should be ok though.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

The Raobot is going to win this. God I hate watching the massive dullard.

 

[lemonjelly]

Got home to see the winning shot.
If Murray gets through, he'll have to be favourite for the title now.

Very good 1st set by Murray who takes it 6-3

 

[darlowolf64]

Two breaks from 3-3 and Murray wins the second set 6-3

 

[Kenny]

Murray a break up in the 3rd set - 3-1

 

[darlowolf64]

Murray through to the final with a very comfortable 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 straight sets win

 

[lemonjelly]

Pretty dominant that. Played really well.
Looking forward to the wimbledon finals more than the euros final.

Agree with that - France not had a hard route to the final (till Germany, who decided to play uncharacteristically) & Portugal (Partic Ronaldo) just annoy

Murray clearly will be installed as favourite, but suspect Raonic will give him a harder game than today. He's shown he can take the pressure so would predict a second Wimbledon championship for him

Game, Set & Match Williams.

 

[Langers]

Come on, Andy!

Confident he can do this.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Murray with the first break & then holds serve

5 - 3 up in the first set

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

First set to Murray.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Murray takes the first set 6 - 4

Won't get many opportunities to break this Raonic serve, which looks brutal - needs to take them when there, but looks very focused

 

[machin05]

Murray is looking very strong today.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Raonic serves at 147mph (fastest serve of the tournament) & still loses the point

Murray is returning superbly here

Awesome tie-break from Murray there.
