I don't think any website covers enough players to justify such system, pretty much all cover only top4 and local talent.

Thanks, that's a shame. I assumed they'd have some sort of centralised data service from the ATP and WTA (sort of like Opta Stats for football) that they could use to provide a service like that. Would be useful.

 

[szaromir]

If you're interested in stats, ATP's official website has phenomenal stats database - most relevant stats are there. Not the case with WTA's website though.

 

[Saty]

Raining now? Dunno if court #1 matches will begin as planned.

 

[tycoonheart]

Matches have started.

 

[szaromir]

Really enjoying Florian Mayer's game, he really mixes things up. Hopefully he can keep up his current level.

 

[tycoonheart]

Mayer with the break.

 

[John Dunbar]

Federer only needed 5 break points to break. Back to normal, it would seem.

 

[Sax Russel]

Two monitors and espn3, ahhhhh. But now I need a 3rd for GAF :<

 

[szaromir]

Fantastic rally with gazillion slices and a lob from Djokovic.
And rain delay

 

[tycoonheart]

Oh god fuxking rain.

 

[Coldnoodle]

@wimbledonroof

:jnc

 

[Jay Sosa]

lolkovic

I don't get this dude..why does he only start to playing aggressive when he's 0:40 down?

 

[Deadman]

Oh no, federer is peaking 1 match too early

 

[mclem]

Oh no, federer is peaking 1 match too early

And next door, Djokovic isn't playing to his normal level.

 

[szaromir]

Mayer conceded the first set. Shame. The first setpoint he defended was brilliant, fantastic retrieving from Djokovic.

 

[szaromir]

I love Mayer's game. Shame he's not as athletic as the top guys and his service motion is awkward.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Federer is playing mediocre tbh, Youznhy is just shit.

 

[brianjones]

what a rally

 

[Sax Russel]

Neither match is particularly exciting, though Mayer is fun to watch at least. Bring on Ferrer v Murray!

 

[Akito]

It's a shame Mayer looks pretty spent already.

 

[Kenka]

Oh my goodness, Federer is executing the poor Juzhni.

 

[Diprosalic]

Federer is playing mediocre tbh, Youznhy is just shit.

yes he should be winning every point. what a mug.

 

[Jay Sosa]

That's the Joker I wanna see, well without that UF

 

[Stevie Gerrard]

Federer - Youznhy is terrible. Federer isn't even playing particularly well.

 

[brianjones]

federer makes that shit look so easy

 

[PS3GamerKyle]

It's a shame seeing Youzhny playing so, so bad.

Fed is going to win in straight sets. Is it because Youzhny played so bad, or that Fed played good? Federer isn't even playing amazing, but he sure looks better than he did in the previous two matches.

 

[Diprosalic]

what a mug fed is. should be winning 6-0 6-0 6-0.

 

[Sax Russel]

Fed's gonna choke and lose in 5 after wasting those break MPs imo

 

[Jay Sosa]

Fed's gonna choke and lose in 5 after wasting those break MPs imo

sure

 

[jett]

I so wish Federer would beat Djokovic and go on to become #1 again.

 

[tycoonheart]

Good god. That cross court winner from Novak.

 

[lucius]

Fed should take some proper PEDs for Djoker match and have one last go for a GS.

 

[MIMIC]

And we finally get Novak vs. Fed at Wimbledon ^_^

 

[Diprosalic]

i'd say it's 75-25 novak.

 

[MIMIC]

i'd say it's 75-25 novak.

lol, more like 60-40. He's still Fed, after all

 

[Diprosalic]

Olderer is gonna old.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Lose Murray, lose.

 

[brianjones]

ferrer is scrappy

 

[mclem]

Have to give credit to Mayer, I think, the impression I got from the liveblog was that although it was a straight-sets victory, he made Djokovic work for it. Fair assessment?

 

[Diprosalic]

the true final is federer vs. djokovic. barring any injures the winner of that match will straight set the finals.

 

[zomgbbqftw]

Murray is so going to lose today.

 

[MIMIC]

Have to give credit to Mayer, I think, the impression I got from the liveblog was that although it was a straight-sets victory, he made Djokovic work for it. Fair assessment?

Absolutely. Aside from the 2nd set, the 1st and 3rd were VERY close and could have conceivably gone either way (although I didn't tune in until late in the 1st). Novak had to work for this one.

 

[Coldnoodle]

the true final is federer vs. djokovic. barring any injures the winner of that match will straight set the finals.

Federer vs Tsonga would worry me.

 

[agrajag]

Let's go workhorse Ferrer

edit: wow, that was badass. Ferrer showed him that he can't just push the ball back to him

 

[Saty]

Line-judges are helping Murray again?

 

[agrajag]

Lolrray

 

[szaromir]

Watching both matches side by side, it's almost as if different physics rules applied

 

[MIMIC]

I predict that 90% of the rallies will go 20+ strokes. LOL

 

[agrajag]

I predict that 90% of the rallies will go 20+ strokes. LOL

well yeah, you've got a Spaniard and a pusher playing.

 

[Coldnoodle]

What a shot by Ferrer D:
