Doesn't it start in 15 mins?
2 minutes!
During weekdays tickets are sold for morning/afternoon/evening sessions, on weekends tickets are sold for individual matches. This way someone who bought a ticket only for the Fednole match doesn't need to wait for 3 hours outside the stadium, but knows the exact time.
Awwwww yeah
I expect no disappointments here. FO was genius, a 3 set match should be at least of the same quality
Me and some friends are thinking about camping out for Wimbledon tickets this year. I remember seeing the queue on tv last year and it looked like the people were having good fun plus the tickets are cheap. Contrary to my memory it says on the website that tickets for the last 4 days are only available in advance, so we figured we'd go for centre court on men's quarter final day, which actually is probably the best day to go; 3-4 matches(?), almost certainly see 2 of the top 4 and a good chance of seeing Andy Murray. So, anyone have any experience doing this? How early should we plan to arrive to be guaranteed tickets?
Fed's sliding and ability to recover against heavy shots from slices is really admirable
My and by buddy are doing this next year probably. We'll probably go all out on spending but you definitely have to give up time as well. But if you really don't mind to spend I'm guessing you can get them via ebay from people that do camp out? Although from what you say I guess you consider the camping part of the experience
Yeah, you kinda saw it coming on BP when the first serve failed
edit, Djokovic is murdering

Federer wants to give the match away so he can keep his #2 for RG. Totally what's happening. Mmmmm.
He wouldn't win anyway.

I hope Djokovic keeps his Tezuka zone active for tomorrow too!
Fake edit: wait wut

At the very least he's getting some good fun out of it, I bet Djokovic hit that forehand in the net on purpose cause Roger was playign

Don't get too happy guys, you'll get crushed after a 7-1 tiebreak =P
Hilarious women's final as rain poured down for much of the match and conditions steadily worsened. Great high-quality start before jittery nerves followed the wet italian mud forming, as Li threw away a lead and then Maria threw away a lead. By this point it was raining cats and dogs and they had a short break at 5-5 30-30 in the third. At 4-6 6-4 6-6 they had to pull out the covers and take a break again as the weather was too severe.
Immediately after they returned to court the rain started again worse than before and the tie-break was played in a pool. After Maria won the tie-break and defended her 2011 title both players could only laugh at the handshake!
Clay summary: 2 titles to Serena, 2 to Maria, who has to pray she doesn't have to meet Silliams at Roland Garros.
Unfortunately I doubt the men's final will go ahead tonight.

Nadal
Just saw the score. His struggles against the Djoker seem to be over.
Or more like Djoker's magic run is coming to an end
Time to regroup, Novak.
Never seen Novak so completely lacking in confidence after such a spiriting win in the SF. Nadal was just...Nadal, who wasn't even playing that well either; he wasn't serving particularly well and he had more UEs than winners.
I expect Novak to play much better come RG. He still has a decent shot.

Nadal uber alles, fools gonna get stomped on.
Hope so..that one time you was banned (or not around for some other reason) we probably had the worst OT for a tennis major ever.
I just hope we're not getting another Nadal-Djoker final. I'm really getting tired of watching these guys play each other. All those Federer Nadal finals were much more fun to watch.
Can't really remember but yeah, could've been the US last year.
Good old FedKilla http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=30505317
Yes, but they were too predictable.
Funniest thing about Fedkilla is I've never seen him root for Rafa or against Federer. :lol
Nothing wrong with that
I mean, I of course welcome the competition it's just that compared to Federer both Nadal and Djokovic play so pedestrian tennis, not even gonna mention the Del Boretro and Murray (lol). The only dudes that are fun to watch right now beside Fedex are Tsonga (Tennis is nothing special but the dude is just awesome) and Dolgopolov.
Enjoying womens tennis much more these days, especially with Radwanska finally living up to (my) expectations.
Radwanska is great but I like Kvitova the most. Shame she can't find her form this year.
