    Just caught some of the Bartoli / Flipkens match - Flipkens was awful! At this stage I was expecting some class action.

    Also, now women have pay parity should they play a full 5 sets as the men do?

    OMG, these tennis players are killing me. Lisicki put through the ringer today but nicked it in the end! Fantastic play and well deserving of the final. Hope she wins. Hope Tracey Austin isn't commentating!

      He's been shafted with the roof going on. They could have played another hour but Janowicz was obviously feeling the pressure ;)

      Andy Murray beats Jerzy Janowicz in the Semi finals at Wimbledon.

      A Brit screws a Polish guy out of a job.

      Makes a change. :snork:

        lol :) Yeah, coming here stealing all the jobs we don't want to do...

        That Janowicz was a beast. 6'8"! all grunt and anger in there too, I thought he was going to kill someone. Very glad Murray showed his mettle and trounced him

        I missed the match and how Murray won - was the advice to kick a boot into Janowicz's face?

          His fall back tactic was to serve as hard as he could. And reap all the double faults ;)

          To be fair Sabine had been unwell earlier in the week and the Dr had to be called out while she was on court and i wondered if she had to call it a day then but had the strength to carry on and then went on to win.

          I don't think the heat helped this afternoon,as we were feeling it and we were only watching from the comfort of our armchairs.:biggrin: At least she is one player that smiles a lot because she said herself she enjoys the game and isn't in it just for the money and it was so nice to see her praising Bartoli at the end of it all and there was no bitterness:biggrin:
