    I really enjoyed the women’s final. A tight match with some fabulous shots by both players. Moving to hear of how Jana Novotna trained and inspired Barbora.

    I thought the men’s double final would be over by supper time, but it looks like a tray dinner for me.

      It was a good Women's final. I would have liked Paolini to win, but maybe next time. Was pleased it went to a 3rd set.

      Doubles ongoing ...

            Now that was an exciting Doubles match. Could have gone either way right to the last ball. They looked so thrilled to win. Lovely! :dbgrtmb:

                    What do you all think for the men’s title??
                    I would love a 5 set match but my guess is Djokovic in 4…

                        Last year was 5 sets, 2 of which were 6-1 and 1-6, one tiebreak and the other 2 sets 6-3 or 4-6. From that my thought is that anything is possible! Vamos! …

                            They’ll have to delay the football kick off if so!
