& the women's draw below:
Going to be tough for Konta but she's been playing great tennis the last year or so. She has a chance.0 -
If it can't be Andy, I'd love to see Feds win another Slam.3
-
Venus reaching the semis (at 36) is pretty amazing too, amazingly her best result since 2003, when she reached the final!
Raonic must fancy his chances of winning here, he reached the semis last year0 -
Would love to see Federer win, but think Stan Wawrinka may well win it.
If so he'll have more Grand Slams than Murray, which would be very impressive.0 -
1 in 4 chance of Federer v Nadal now!
Not bothered if Nadal goes through to be honest but I'm really hoping Federer can win.1 -
Federer v Wawrinka
Nadal v Dimitrov
I'm getting excited just thinking about another Roger Rafa final, I thought those days were long gone. Biggest danger to that is if Wawrinka plays one of his unstoppable matches where he hits multiple winners per game.

Roger Rafa would be amazing. I imagine Andy would prefer that than Stan overtaking his number of Grand Slams!Callumcafc said:Federer v Wawrinka

If Stan wins he has more slams than our greatest ever sportsman yet Stan is probably not even considered a great in his own sport.0

Stan still only has 17 titles whilst Murray has 46 titles though?MrOneLung said:If Stan wins he has more slams than our greatest ever sportsman yet Stan is probably not even considered a great in his own sport.

He only needs Wimbledon to complete a career Grand Slam! Which would be incredible for someone who's won relatively few tournaments, and never been higher than 3 in the world rankingsMrOneLung said:If Stan wins he has more slams than our greatest ever sportsman yet Stan is probably not even considered a great in his own sport.

Wawrinka is a weird one. He's a good player, but not a special one. Nine times of out of 10, Murray is the better player, but Wawrinka just seems to be very consistent, at least he has been in the last 3 or 4 years, and that means he's always been ready to capitalise when one of the big guns drops off their level. He's been in relatively few major finals, way less than Murray for example, but his conversion rate is exceptional. I guess he just has that big game mentality.killerandflash said:

Agreed, 1 Grand Slam a season for the last 3 years, at 3 different events. 3 finals, 3 wins...Exiled_Addick said:

His poor performance at Wimbledon makes him slightly overlooked in Britain, he's never been past the QF0 -
Venus vs Serena in the final. After Venus's health issues, an amazing achievement.
Talking of golden oldies, Roger vs Stan next. I like Roger's shirt!

First set Federer.0

Fed in total control, Stan goes for treatment in tears 2 sets down and now Fed's mind has wandered off somewhere.
Stan wins 3rd set 6-1 and breaks Fed in opening game of the 4th set, Fed just broken back 1-1 in 4th set0 -
2-2 and now Federer is off for treatment.
I'd tip Wawrinka now.0 -
5-3 to Rog in the 5th can he do it on his serve?0
-
Yes!! Go Federer!! Really hope he wins in the final.0

Phew. The Williams sisters and Roger, we just need Rafa to make it to rewind the clock 5/10 years!0

If we want to follow the current political trend for turning the clock back to the 80s, it should really be a Wilander vs Edberg final.killerandflash said:Phew. The Williams sisters and Roger, we just need Rafa to make it to rewind the clock 5/10 years!

Epic semi final between Nadal and Dimitrov goes to a deciding set.
Dimitrov takes the 4th set in a tie break and they've played almost 4 hours so far.0 -
Great bruising 5th set, Nadal is a such a fighter0
-
Nadal breaks for 5-4 and serves for the match0
-
Nadal wins in 4 hours 56 and plays Federer2
-
What a fantastic match, Dimitrov probably never played so well in his life and Nadal having to dig so deep, very little between them0
-
Will be a brilliant spectacle on Sunday.0
