Roger Federer is back in the Wimbledon final after beating Novak Djokovic 6-3, 3-6, 6-4, 6-3.
The second semifinal today is the brit Andy Murray vs. Jo Wilfried Tsonga. Obviously the crowd will be rooting strongly for their countryman Murray, but he tends to choke in these situations.
Amazingly, Federer can regain the number 1 ranking by winning the tournament, a feat which not many thought possible at this stage in his career.
Come on Roger!
Pretty happy to see Djokovic go down
true. even though I'm a fan
true. even though I'm a fan of R.F. I'd like to see Andy Murry pull it off on his home turf.
This is Murray's 4th straight
This is Murray's 4th straight Wimbledon semifinal appearances. The last two he lost to Nadal (who can blame him) and in 2009 he lost to Andy Roddick (can only blame yourself on that one). Let's see if he can get over the hump and get to the finals, where he would face Federer, to whom he has lost 2 Grand Slame Finals to. An Englishmen hasn't even appeared in the Wimbledon Finals since before WWII !!!! Alot of demons that Murray could exorcise today.
Murray is actually Scottish.
Murray is actually Scottish. The joke among the fans at Wimbledon is "If he wins he's British, if he loses he's a Scot."
Didn't know that. Sucks for
Didn't know that. Sucks for the English.
Eh, if he wins on Sunday,
Eh, if he wins on Sunday, fans will probably forget all that and sing this song:
To be fair
Roddick was playing some of the best tennis of his career at Wimbledon in 2009. That's the final where he gave an in-his-prime Federer absolutely everything he could handle.
There is no time, sir, at which ties do not matter.
Roddick's backhand has always
Roddick's backhand has always been his Achilles backhand. It's just a punchback in the hope that he can run around a forehand. It never really materialized.
Karlovic
Ivo Karlovic broke that record at 156 MPH. But it also looks like some young dude served in the 160s just this year. That is wild.
If Federer wins the final and
If Federer wins the final and regains the #1 ranking at his age it would be pretty damn remarkable, especially considering Nadal and Djokovic are going to also go down as greats.
If Murray makes the final,
If Murray makes the final, will Sean Connery show up at Centre Court?
"...just the way your mother
"...just the way your mother likes it, Tribec!"
Sir Sean Connery
I like big butts and i cannot lie
I just want to see Serena and that big ol booty
Tsonga looks exactly like LTT

What time is Murray Tsonga?

It's always such a pain figuring out match schedules in tennis for some reason
Every time an MGoBoard poster complains about a thread topic, God kills a baby panda.
