Let's go Berdych?

I think Berdych would be a better opponent for Milos than Joker, but the way Roger is playing, it could very well be moot. Milos has won the last two matches against Roger though, I just wonder how much gas Milos has left in the tank after that tough five-setter against Zverev.

Also, if you would have told me one of Querrey, Muller, or Cilic would be playing in the Wimbledon final, well I might have lost my brother-in-law's farm on that bet.

Oh boy, Milos down a set and a break to Roger - This could be over quickly.

Roger wins the first 2 sets in a hour - This is just a clinic from the King.

Berdych through to the semi-finals as Joker retires with an injury (shoulder likely).

That said, there's a reason why Fed is the greatest to ever play the game. It should be a cakewalk for Roger the rest of the way.

Takes a 3-love in the tie-breaker, now 3-all. Thanks esls :D
In my defense, I was quoting the live odds before the tie break began.

/i would steer clear of wagering on the rest of the tourney now

Speaking of odds, Sam Querrey was 200-1 to win Wimbledon before the tourney started. His chances still aren't great, but if you're holding a betting slip. you have to be a little excited.

Federer. Man, what a legend. And no Joker / Murray / Nadal / Stan left - I can't see him missing out on this opportunity to pad the stats.

? is who's better all time; Serena or Venus? I really don't know how to answer that but both have to be among the top 5-10 of female tennis players ever.
