Wimbledon Day 11 - Men's Semi Finals

First topic message reminder :

Well folks here it is. We are down to the nitty gritty. Is it a time for new hero's? Or will the old guard starve off the new breed?

Djokovic in his 5th Wimbledon semi final. Federer in his 8th.

Dimitrov and Raonic in their first Slam semi finals respectively.

If we go by the H2H we should expect another Federer and Djokovic final. However, it's a Slam and anything can happen.

I actually have the day off, so take that work! Can't wait for some stonking tennis action!

You too?  I think we both may be under the evil spell of BOO, who must have visited East Coast recently.  I did not see a single point played in the Fed match (but will watch at least some of it later today).

I did not see Fed's match but it sounds like he must have been all right.

The man has been broken once the whole tournament so far.  I suspect that will change in a hurry on Sunday.  Still, against Nole at Wimbledon, he might have a chance.

The sad thing is I think he'll win a major or two in between the Big Four retiring and players younger than him breaking through.

You are probably right TSJ though I wont be turning my tv on    The match must have been bad I was actually finished  watching the WC match between Germany and France......ME WATCH FOOTBALL...depends on what kind of  boredom you choose to die by

Do you not get the seniors over there?  Goran and Ljubicic are playing doubles.  They're a laugh.

Have you watched Laconte and Berrani(not sure my spelling is correct) but they are a hoot !!!!

Yeah!! I caught a bit of them earlier today when Henri hit the ball at his opponent. There's a great compilation of them on YouTube somewhere.

Watching the ex pros shows just how fun tennis can be.

Is haddie ever happy?

Kyrgios should've let Nadal through shouldn't he!

I can't think of a better final between the 2 most appeasing players on tour. Raonic would have won a set off Nole today and Murray... I won't mention players who do not make grass QF's lol.

Is haddie ever happy?


I  sure am JM and Im never more happy than when you stop posting... so go take a holiday and I will be extatic 

Haddie I will be on holiday on the 13th   

I accept Raonic isn't a great grass player i'd rather Kyrgios had beat him to be honest. Will you be wearing your Serbia flag on Sunday?

Is HN not spanish?

I. Will you be wearing your Serbia flag on Sunday?



Is HN not spanish?



       

Im  torn between wearing the flag of St George, the Spanish Flag or the Maple Leaf

please do not associate me with the Serbian Flag

Enjoy your holiday JM... dont rush back we will cope without you 

Dimitrov will move into the rankings top 10 for the first time.  At #9, he will now be ahead of Andy (dropping to #10).

Perhaps even more interestingly, he will be ahead of Andy even in the Race (#6 vs #7).

Does anyone up here know what the queues are like for ground passes on mens final day? Has anyone attempted it? I am guessing slightly less demand as Murray is not in the final?

If Raonic and Dry Paint were in a room together.........

who would be bored first?

I'd watch Raonic so long as he wasn't speaking, then I'd go with the paint.

Seems a decent lad though, shouldn't be cruel. Just zero on-court charisma.

I wasn't referring to his personality just his way of playing   

What's wrong haddie?

Rafa's started losing to teenagers.

Yeah Rafa was only 17 when he took his first scalp.... WHO was that can you remember ?

Yeah the shoe's on the other foot now though

Let's not start talking about Rafa's scalp...   

Proper grass tennis when Rafa doesn't reach the last 8

Nadal is not playing the finals in W 2014. It is Djokovic v Federer, in case some here have a forgotten and want to drag poor Rafito into this.

No trench warfare, JM, H-n, BB, Reckoner, please.

Satire <> trench warfare laverfan! Off for      Have a great evening

Enjoy your pint(s) and hopefully your friends will show up this time.

I am now convinced Dimi will be a multi-surface multi-slam winner. He's improving the stamina and mental strength a lot and he has the game and variety and the class on grass and maybe even clay

It's always like this in London we are at the mercy of our idiotic transport system! Pints were enjoyed, footie was endured, bring on the final tomorrow, I mean today!

Let's hope so - I like the way he plays.
