StillUnknown Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 both guys are killing their serve its actually denying us some of the rally's that have been a staple of their matches in the past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 In rally's but not drama. Tie-break. NOW the crowd should get into it. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StillUnknown Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 missed opportunity to win that first set for Federer. Djokovic served well when down a couple of set points. In the tiebreak Djokovic raised his level, and Federer's dipped for a brief moment and thats all it took to give Djokovic the first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Yeah, when you're getting 4/ 5 points back the breaker, concede the set and start afresh. Percentages. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Yeah, well the title to this thread has been pretty well answered! A day after Serena gets her 21st title in pretty dominant fashion... all the thread can talk about is the men's game. She's already being dismissed :silly: Was surprised there wasn't a Tennis/Wimbledon thread. Surprised that this is the catchall. I guess that's what happens when everyone wants super-threads.

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I've put a specific Winbledin thread up a few times in the past but it only tends to appeal to the ES tennis minority and never really gets the interest. So here we are. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So here we are. Hail. Kind of sad. I like tennis though my interest has waned. I don't want to admit that it's due to the lack of American superstars, but I sure had more fun in the Jimmy McEnroe, Connors, Chris Evert days. Agassi, Sampras wasn't quite as fun because they didn't really have the fire or personalities. Serena definitely should be getting more love than she does. Tennis used to be a solid second tier sport. I think it's drifted into the third tier for the most part. Mind you, bowling's fallen off into the fifth or sixth tier. I think golf is now pretty much alone in that second tier... unless hockey is there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 They know the rain is coming, why haven't they closed the roof? All relevant as to how heavy it is and the duration. They like the tradition of an outdoor tourney. You'd have to take them off regardless to close the roof. Forecast isn't too bad so this should pass. Hail.

Hersh Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Yeah, well the title to this thread has been pretty well answered!

She's already being dismissed :silly: Was surprised there wasn't a Tennis/Wimbledon thread. Surprised that this is the catchall. I guess that's what happens when everyone wants super-threads. Good point but I think this has everything to do with what I said about a lack of a rival for Serena. There is no drama, no other great, great women's player that helps to produce this kind of drama and to push Serena. Roger has had Nadal and Djokovic, some of the best ever to play against. When Serena plays her best, no one is even close these days. It's not the same with the men. On another note, at what point do women start to play 5 set matches? Maybe even starting in the Quarter Finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
