One match at a time and all that, but Federer v Murray final looks very likely.

i'm as big a federer tard as they come, but i'm not liking his odds of making the final. big hitters on grass is a problem for the old man, so playing both cilic and raonic (though if he makes it through cilic i could see raonic not showing up for the semi) is a real hurdle. his performances at stuttgart and halle were also not very encouraging.

but no matter. just knowing that djokovic won't be able to add to his grossly inflated slam count is enough to make anything that may come enjoyable.

I want Fed, but he won't win.

So Tsonga please

 

[RedAssedApe]

fed remaining half of the draw are all missile launchers. average height 6'5". his serve is going to have to be on point.

could work in his favor if he makes it to the final though. potentially less mileage on his body going up against these play styles.

 

[AdventureRacing]

Fed usually seems to handle those guys pretty well. In all honesty I'd be happy with a Murray or Fed win and a final between them would be cool. I wouldn't mind seeing another player making a big upset either.

I'm definitely a Fed fan and would love to see him win wimbledon one last time but if he doesn't it's not the end of the world.

 

[Number45]

I want Federer to hold the record for wins alone, so he's my first choice. I'd be more than happy with Murray and Tsonga too.

Womens quarter day...going with Kerber,Serena,Cibulkova and one upset ,Shvedova over Venus.

I hope Vesely wins. Not because I like Vesely especially, but because at least Thiem's top 8 seeding is secured a little longer, and between Pouille and Vesely you have a young player making the SF.

Pablo Cuevas in wee bit of bother during Wimbledon doubles defeat

Spectator claims player urinated into ball-can after toilet break was refused
Cuevas and Marcel Granollers also stage sit-down protest during five-set loss

 

[John Dunbar]

i expected vesely to lose, but hoped he would at least make berdych play as long as possible to give pouille a better chance. no such luck, it seems.

Great match so far between help and carebear

"great match"

five breaks in a row

 

[scarlet]

"great match"

five breaks in a row

At least the 1st 3 games

 

[scarlet]

Oh wow, great rally.

 

[John Dunbar]

looks like one break of return will settle this set.

 

[Milchmann]

Kerber should have won the set more comfortably. Halep is doing hardly anything.

 

[LuuKyK]

Kerber is so in control of this match. It should have been way easier, but she doesnt have a serve. lol

 

[Diprosalic]

Halep is soon sliding out of the "she's still so young and talented" into the "why has she not won a GS yet" phase of her career.

can't you already tell by touching them?

 

[oti]

Kerber you can do it!

 

[Ricker]

Shvedova choke,she was ahead 5 2 in the tiebreak,lost the next 5.

 

[Diamond]

can't you already tell by touching them?

Hmmm, good point, I really don't know.

 

[leng jai]

Halep is incredibly skilled, too bad she can't put away a rally to save her life.

 

[Milchmann]

Thanks Simona for carrying Angie over the finish line.

 

[John Dunbar]

at least halep can take comfort in the fact that she is not bouchard.

you are pure evil

 

[scarlet]

VENUS!

 

[OceanicAir]

Woooo Venus! So happy for her!

 

[Garryk]

Cibulkova obviously doesn't want to reschedule her wedding.

 

[Niraj]

Guess these are both going to be quick matches

 

[Ricker]

What a difference a day makes for Cibulkova...thought she would win this.

Serena easily wins again.

 

[MIMIC]

Serena & Venus (wow) making their way to the finals

 

[Niraj]

Congrats to Vesnina, she wrecked

 

[perfectchaos007]

Serena & Venus (wow) making their way to the finals

One match away from that happening. Venus will be a huge underdog against Kerber though.

Semi Finals
(1) S. Williams
Vesnina

(8) V. Williams
(4) Kerber

Halep is soon sliding out of the "she's still so young and talented" into the "why has she not won a GS yet" phase of her career.

The most overlooked narrative of last year's US Open on the women's side was her bombing out in the semi against Pennetta after beating Azarenka. At the time it didn't seem too bad because Serena was winning the tournament anyway, but in hindsight that might've been the best chance to win a Slam she'll get. Great effort to get into a tie-break in the second set today, but needed to bring much more to it.

Looks like the only thing worse than losing a marathon baseline war of attrition is winning them: Cibulkova, slapping her legs in frustration, loses 2 and 2 the day after the most physical match of her life (her words).

 

[inm8num2]

Happy for Venus - first SF appearance in a GS since the 2010 US Open.

Vesnina?
How?

I haven't been following the tournament too closely.







Hooooooooow.

 

[LuuKyK]

Vesnina?
How?

I haven't been following the tournament too closely.







Hooooooooow.

She is playing really well this year after getting married.

 

[m_shortpants]

Omg I haven't been following too closely but Djokovic is out??????!!

 

[Wafflecakes]

I am not sure I could emotionally handle another all Williams final.

 

[RedAssedApe]

venus and roger champs. pls

 

[perfectchaos007]

venus and roger champs. pls

I wonder if we've ever had a mens and womens champion that combined for 70+ years of age.

 

[Diprosalic]

I wonder if we've ever had a mens and womens champion that combined for 70+ years of age.

no, not even close.
there's only one person ever that won a GS over the age of 35 (he was 37) and the other champ was 27.

 

[Smellycat]

Omg I haven't been following too closely but Djokovic is out??????!!

lol where have you been bro

 

[Lima]

Omg I haven't been following too closely but Djokovic is out??????!!

Blame Becker

 

[sam777]

I will be amazed if we don't have a Kerber vs S.Williams final.

 

[Simply Sami]

Tough match for Federer.

His returning needs to be better than what it has in his last 3 tournaments. Cillic and Raionic are far more dangerous players on grass than anybody on Murrays side.

Tsonga knocked Federer out of Wimbledon before & Berdych has been a finalist.

 

[John Dunbar]

querrey to win wimbledon after beating djokovic, federer and murray.

 

[Chumpion]

There was no denying the Kerberator yesterday. She was just relentless. I don't know if anyone could have beaten her.
