Williams is just too fucking good.

lionel_messias · « **Reply #361 on:** June 8, 2013, 03:49:02 pm »

So who's rolling over for Williams today?

Oh.

Women's tennis is in a really bad timewarp, isn't?

I'd hardly say its her fault she's probably the greatest women's tennis player ever.

TheShanklyGates · « **Reply #363 on:** June 8, 2013, 04:04:06 pm »

Meh. At least Sharapova made a good match of it.

sinnermichael · « **Reply #364 on:** June 8, 2013, 04:04:11 pm »

pointless anyone else even turning up at wimbledon. that's serena's best surface

Titan · « **Reply #365 on:** June 8, 2013, 04:04:18 pm »

Serena wins.

What a fucking serve she has.

b_joseph · « **Reply #366 on:** June 8, 2013, 04:04:35 pm »

Best female athlete of all time..2nd French Open after all of those years of doing nothing since her 1st win there.

Madan · « **Reply #367 on:** June 8, 2013, 04:09:26 pm »

That is some good French by Williams.

Miss Steffi Graf for me.

But Serena is one of the greatest as well.

Loving the GCSE French from Serena

Steffi, Hingis, Navratilova? and possibly Seles?

I never understand why the jokes about Serena saying she should be in mans tennis??

It seems like so many people are so bitter to see some one do so well. She got natural ability and worked hard to get where she is and glad she destroying everything in her way.

Its not just her that gets the hate Micheal phelps/Tiger woods/Micheal schumacher/Floyd mayweather.

Its like some have nothing better to do than hate on great athlete.

Hingis 5/ Seles 8 gran slams Don't even compare. Navratilova and Steffi are in same league.

then fair enough mate. I was just replying to someone who was telling Serena is the greatest ever. She is not alone in that GOAT league.

Buzzing for the final. 12th title for Rafa hoepfully. Get this done then 5 more to go

(unless Rodger mauls everyone at Wimbledon again)

Hazell · « **Reply #384 on:** June 9, 2013, 10:55:18 am »

Really hope it isn't a one sided final. Whoever wins it though, it'll be history made.

Po The Panda · « **Reply #385 on:** June 9, 2013, 02:06:43 pm »

Dull 1 sided final coming up hopefully ferrer wins more then 6 games..., Bring on wimbledon!

b_joseph · « **Reply #386 on:** June 9, 2013, 02:09:31 pm »

Ferrer has played him tough recently, especially in Rome. Hopefully the rain stays away, those clouds look ominous.

Rafa in 4.

TheShanklyGates · « **Reply #387 on:** June 9, 2013, 02:29:17 pm »

What a point! Ferrer breaks back, 2-2 in the first.

Hazell · « **Reply #388 on:** June 9, 2013, 02:29:25 pm »

Great stuff from Ferrer to that break back.

elsewhere · « **Reply #389 on:** June 9, 2013, 02:48:33 pm »

Wow,good stuff Rafa,glad you are back

When was the last time a Spainiard won against Rafa in a major?

Redshadow · « **Reply #390 on:** June 9, 2013, 02:52:08 pm »

Last Friday was an Epic, but this one is not a slouch by any means... entertaining first set so far...

TheShanklyGates · « **Reply #391 on:** June 9, 2013, 02:54:44 pm »

Pretty tame end to the first set from Ferrer. Struggling to see past a straight sets win for Nadal now.

Po The Panda · « **Reply #392 on:** June 9, 2013, 02:55:42 pm »

Ferrer will just fall apart now mentally weak he's no Novak. That should have been the final, this is like an exhibition with Rafa already crowned champion on friday.

Fairly comfortable for Nadal here.

What a hold of serve that was from Nadal.

The rally he won at BP down was incredible.

Titan · « **Reply #398 on:** June 9, 2013, 03:40:36 pm »

The fuck.

Some c*nt with a flare just ran onto the court. Security got to him just in time before he got to Nadal.

WelshMike · « **Reply #399 on:** June 9, 2013, 03:41:01 pm »

It's all going a little bit mental. Protesters in the crowds, a guy with a flare running onto the court. Hope Nadal and Ferrer feel okay; well done security too. Seems like an organised thing too.
