The Natural Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Yes, big shock. Before the championships started, a stat came out that only 10 men have beaten Roger Federer at Wimbledon. Kevin Anderson's #11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 We lost the men's number one seed and we could be losing the second as Rafael Nadal is 2-1 down to Juan Martin del Potro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Better change: Get rid of John Isner. For fuck's sake, please. The single most unwatchable, boring pro athlete in any major sport of the last 40 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The single most unwatchable, boring pro athlete in any major sport of the last 40 years. Such a truthful statement. He is literally just a serve, and hopes to win tiebreakers. The only tennis player I actively hope loses early and often, so he is not around to taint semifinals and finals on the weekends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReiseReise Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Djokovic and Nadal "only just" went 5:15. Kerber beats Serena in Wimbledon, who herself impressively reached the final in her first major since giving birth. Still proud of Angie, who is from the city I consider home (Kiel) after all.

I'm glad Kerber beat S. Williams, all she needs now is the French Open for the Career Grand Slam. Djokovic beat a knackered Anderson in the Wimbledon Men's Final, his fourth.

The Natural Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Ten years ago Rafael Nadal beat Roger Federer in the 2008 Wimbledon Men's Final by three sets to two. It's the greatest tennis match of all time and to mark the anniversary, Wimbledon's uploaded the whole match on YouTube: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
