Prince is also a Jehovas Witness.

I know... they have touched all my favorites... I would not be shocked if Prince himself knocked on Serena's door :|

In a world where Virginia Wade never existed...

 

[perfectchaos007]

Who's Virginia Wade?

 

[Speevy]

Which is more disappointing?


-Andy Murray losing out on another major title

or

-Roger Federer watching what could be his last chance at a title disappear.

Last chance? No.

Who's Virginia Wade?

She won the women's singles championship at Wimbledon on 1 July 1977, making The Mail's headline (even more) Pointless (than usual).

 

[~Kinggi~]

Are any US stations carrying the final live?

ESPN i think.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

ESPN but their coverage starts an hour early, so sleep in.

 

[milanbaros]

Who's Virginia Wade?

He must have won the Men's singles title sometime in the past 76 years.

 

[NZer]

Doubles can be great fun at the rec/club level (i.e. my level), but not a fan of watching it at tour level. Pro singles is where it's at.

Virginia Wade > Andy Murray. Anyone who listens to BBC knows this.

Virginia Wade > Andy Murray. Anyone who listens to BBC knows this.

Barry Davis and Virgina Wade are the ultimate commentary duo.

 

[killer_clank]

Imagine Andy Murray doing what Henman and Rusedski have done and become a commentator when he retires.

No, neither can I.

 

[DanteFox]

when are men and women's finals? tomorrow?

 

[Peru]

Women's final - yesterday. Men's final today.

 

[Wes]

Scottish flag ihas been raised over Downing Street.

 

[Jay Sosa]

when are men and women's finals? tomorrow?

google, how does it work?

 

[Jay Sosa]

Wait so people hate Serena for being really competitive on court?

Come on.

No. People hate Serena for threatening line judges.

 

[Timbuktu]

Imagine Andy Murray doing what Henman and Rusedski have done and become a commentator when he retires.

No, neither can I.

If he wins, maybe he can going into clothing like Perry, Lacoste and Borg.

And apparently, according to the Wimbledon racket stringer, the Williams are “very horrible people.”

Mr Nolan added: “I didn’t like working with the Williams sisters: they’re very horrible people really. I remember we were raising some money for a kids’ hospice and we would have two T-shirts that we’d get all the players to sign and they were the only two who refused to sign it because they said they had not got enough time.”

BBC peak viewing figures guesses? I'm going with 13.3m.

Some context:
13.8m Agassi v Ivanisevic 1992
13.1m Henman v Kratochvil 2002
11.2m saw Federer beat Roddick in 2009
11.4m watched Murray beat Tsonga on Friday

Depends if it goes to four/five sets or not due to the Grand Prix being on the other channel.

 

[LegoArmo]

15m

(when word gets around that Murray is winning)

 

[Oxx]

Peak at the penalty shoot-out.

 

[killer_clank]

18m peak if it goes to 5 sets and word gets around.

probs around 13 otherwise.

 

[Xun]

Federer losing would really make my day.

Sorry fans.

 

[Diprosalic]

5 million because it will ve to painful for brits to watch him getting destroyed!

 

[Suairyu]

If Murray does lose then we dissolve the Scottish parliament.

 

[mclem]

5 million because it will ve to painful for brits to watch him getting destroyed!

Do you think we haven't become *numb* to that pain after all these years?

sad to see that Nadal vs Federer Wimbledon 2008 final didn't make the list. Best final ever.

 

[Peru]

I'm not sure those are the all-time high numbers.. where did you get them from?

17-18m peak is my guess, don't expect the average to be as special because of the grand prix.

If it goes to a 5th, 20m might be possible which would be stunning for Wimbledon.

 

[scorcho]

so is Murray 98% or 99% British at this point?

 

[DemonNite]

[hertog]

[Sage00]

[hertog]

In an hour and ten minutes.

[Diprosalic]

i'm getting really nervous now. this opportunity just seems to good to be true, another wimby with no.1 on the line?

seems like a fanfic i wrote.

 

[Wes]

Oh God. This BBC intro is so incredibly epic. I am nervous as hell.

 

[Atrophis]

Wimbledon men's final, le tour stage 8, British GP and EVO finals. What a day.

Please make it competitive Andy.

 

[whatevermort]

I'm currently on holiday in turkey and can't watch the BBC stream on my iPad. Anybody know a stream I will be able to watch of this final?

 

[PS3GamerKyle]

Greatest final of all time.


ONE HOUR GUYS! Although I hate Murray, I'm much more excited for this match than if it was Federer/Tsonga.

Good luck to Andy Murray. He's British for another few hours then he'll be Scottish again. #UKpress
