    Would like to see Williams win this. Always find her more enjoyable to watch than her sister. Much more finesse and not so much brute force.

    Great first set, Muguruza 7-5

    Muguruza 5-0 serving for the match!

    7-5 6-0, Venus just faded away in the second set, a shame for the contest

    That was the worst performance from a set of match linesman/woman I can remember.

    Yes as I correctly predicted during the Konta Halep quarter final the winner would lose to Venus but Muguruza would win the tournament. :-)

    Didn't expect that from Williams, usually keeps fighting but just seemed to go.

    Been supporting Muguruza since she beat Kerber, a worthy champion

    Great player no doubt, but I just haven't warmed to her. She's very robotic like, Sharapova-esque.

    I like Muguruza.

    Could be because I fancy her.

    She's got more variety than Sharapova, much better at the net

    Sure, it's her demeanour/mannerisms between points I was comparing.

    men's doubles went on for over 4 and a half hours with Kubot and Melo winning in the 5th set 13-11 , the roof was closed at 11-11

    The women's doubles started at 9.30ish and was finished in less than an hour as
    Makarova and Vesnina won 6-0 6-0

    £400k each to the winning pairs

    Will we be supporting Heather Watson and Chris Packham or Jamie Murray and Martina Hingis in the all part British Mixed Doubles?

    Federer a set and a break up already.

    Federer as expected, is pretty much cruising

    Cilic looking injured. Can't see him winning this one now. A lot of injuries this Wimbledon. Taking breaks & not playing too many / missing tournaments appears the thing to do.

    What a damp squib this is. So disappointing

    Out injured, comes back and wins Australian open, takes a rest, comes back and wins Wimbledon. Legend.

    To dominate a Wimbledon final like this at his age almost defies belief.
    Incredible athlete

    Federer is the first man since Bjorn Borg in 1976 to win Wimbledon without dropping a set

    Federer was brilliant, but as a final it was very disappointing. Some weird stuff about the blister though

    Glad federer won. The time cilic takes to serve is ridiculous.

    Andy still World No 1, but less than 300 points ahead of Rafa now, with Roger closing in as well

    Pliskova now women's World No 1 despite not winning any Grand Slams yet and indeed only making 1 final!

    And with a lot of points to defend in the second half of the season.

    Well done Jamie, and Martina (who was a schoolboy crush of mine).

    Murray has been lucky to stay No1 for so long really, after a poor 2017. Indeed he's only just in the top 8 players in the world to qualify for the O2 at the moment, with Novak in 7th
