Wimbledon Men's Final - Djokovic V. Federer

[Eve]

Here we go, hoping for a great match between two incredible tennis players.

Anyone want to call for a winner? I don't think I could call this one! I wouldn't mind either winning.

Djokovic

[kawakiri]

Federer.

Too late...Djokovic

[toalisi]

I'd like Federer to win but think it will be Djokovic

[jim360]

Early signs that Federer isn't quite at the level of Friday. I think he will need to be at that level if he wants to win. Maybe it's the blustery conditions?

After Djokovic's verbal assault on a ball girl ,Federer to win

[jim360]

One thing about Federer is that he's less consistent these days. But in the last couple of years Wimbledon has brought out the best in him.

[Eve]

Rain is due around half three apparently so hopefully that won't disturb things.

It was very ungentlemanly and unsportsmanlike for him to shout at the ballgirl like that. Apparently he said he would apologise "if" he had done something wrong! Shame as he is a wonderful tennis player.

[jim360]

I think people have overblown that incident somewhat. He has already talked with the girl in question and apparently she has no issue any more. Obviously it looked bad but it was a heat-of-the-moment thing and shouldn't be held against Djokovic any longer.

I admit I didn't see the incident, just it all blown up in the press afterwards. If the ballgirl is fine and he spoke to her then fair play. Maybe got blown up in the media more than it was then?

A break already, Federer leading the first set!

[toalisi]

Not any longer! Federer loses his service game ...4/4

[jim360]

Ah well. I doubt that's his last chance in the match. Although then again Murray had break point in the first game on Friday and never saw another...

Live sport can surprise you all the time.

[jim360]

Not sure why it got blown up so much. It did look bad, perhaps it was because Djokovic could in principle have been against Murray in the final meant that the press wanted to get on his back slightly? Even against Federer the crowd will be largely not on DJokovic's side.

[douglas9401]

Oh I think there's plenty of mileage in his shouting at a youth yet.

At least if the constant harping back to the throwaway humourous Andy Murray one liner is anything to go by.

[Eve]

Murguruza too first thing yesterday, not that it helped her much, although she wasn't quite the tennis "pedigree" of these two.

[Eve]

I think Kyrgios has taken the prize for the biggest brat in this tournament, he really needs to have a word with himself!

[murraymints]

allez Roger !!

[jim360]

Kyrgios annoys me, perhaps because in theory he could be such a great player. But it just too much of a brat at the moment.
