Tennis - at least it's marginally more interesting than golf

There needs to be a word for the quiet, subdued sound you get when the crowd realises the Brit is going to lose.

The sound of inevitability?

the ā€œmurmur of resignationā€

I think you mean Jock :grin:

Or Strayan

Federer has been amazing throughout. Since Murray and Djoko have both struggled with injury, it looks like Rogerā€™s time off has been a great strategy.

Do they all play too much? Is the tour simply too gruelling?

The guy who used to give me tennis lessons in Germany, told me that to get in to the top 100 players in Germany alone, you have to take drugsā€¦
These drugs also mask injuries so that you can play through the pain, I presume once you get to the top 100 in the world, you have to ease off these as you could be caught.

So good strategy by Federer as at his age recovery takes longer, is it as gruelling as other sports? No idea tbhā€¦

Also Federer is the finest player to ever grace a court. Such a contrast to the 6ā€™5" + big serve, monster forehand droids that have taken over tennis.

He has been superb,although he made quite a few errors today.

He will need to be at his best against cilic,although i expect him to win 3-1

Fuck tennis never made it as an Olympic sport.

Not much of a final so far :frowning:

Normal then

This is particularly bad.

I am watching a decent sport

Womenā€™s beach volleyball?

Well that was about as dull and borring as F1. Well done Federer I suppose.

Going to go and vacuum out the car now Iā€™ve wone an hour.

What a poor final.
