re: Official Tennis Discussion Thread
What did I tell you all? I said he'd win Wimbledon this year. As usual everyone wrote him off after the French, but now he's a 7 time Wimbledon champion, a 17 time grand slam champion and back to world number 1 ahead of 3 players all at least 5 years his junior.
There's not even an argument any more, Federer is indisputably the greatest tennis player of all time.

Yeah, definitely. You said Federer was going to win the Wimbledon and you were right after all.

Murray will win a Grand Slam soon.
It won't be because the other three are injured either, he'll stop geting inside his head and just fucking do it. He's not as good as the others but if he can perform to the very best of his ability they will have to too.

re: Official Tennis Discussion Thread
7 Wimbledon titles won and still only 30. Yes he is the G.O.A.T no doubt.
He has levelled Sampras' titles won, I think it is inevitable that he will eclipse his titles won in the next few years.
Feel sorry for Murray but he is still relatively young and has time on his side. Unfortunately for him though, Roger is at his peak and Djokovic and Nadal will probably come back strong. Still, I dont think this is his last Wimbledon final.

re: Official Tennis Discussion Thread
Feel really sad for Andy. He played a really good two sets, but once the roof came on, Federer just knocked it out the park. He was just too good in the last two sets, Murray still had his chances but couldn't stop the momentum Federer had from winning the second set. Really happy to see Federer as world number one again, and him breaking a lot of records through this Wimbledon, he deserves the limelight again and he's playing incredibly well.
Murray shouldn't feel too bad. He got a lot closer to that slam title this time around. He picked up the first set and honestly was playing better than Federer in the second, he should have won that. He's got chances, and I think he can do it. Was very sad to see him so upset in his speech, although lovely to see how much he cares about what he's doing. As Federer said, he will win one at some point, I think it's just a matter of when. Fed will decline (eventually) and Murray will only get better in the next two or three years.
Great tournament though and a great final with some fantastic tennis quality. Congrads to Roger!

Roger is not at his peak. What are you talking? Roger was at his peak during 2004-2007. Right now Djokovic and Nadal are at their peak.

re: Official Tennis Discussion Thread
It's been a great tournament though. I enjoyed it. I never really watched a whole tournament. I normally start watching around the quarters, but this year i have had plenty of time, so i have managed to watch it from the start. I even watched the womens properly for the first time.
What were your highlights of the tournament?
Men: Mine was Rosol beating Rafa. Such a shock
Women: That lass who won the first set without giving away a single point. It's quite incredible no matter who you are facing

re: Official Tennis Discussion Thread
Tough on Andy though, hopefully he wins a few slams soon.
Tournament highlights - Nadal v Rosol - one of the biggest upsets in history, period.
- Federer winning his 7th Title (and No.1 ranking)
- Federer beating Djoker after being written off early.
- The woman who won the first set without loosing a point as nazzac said.
btw the commentary towards the end, after the match was pretty terrible, the guy was mumbling inane things. maybe just me.
