2016 Wimbledon

[nuraman00]

Past 3 days have been much better for the tourney. We've actually played matches.

The draw also has some pretty good looking matches the next 2 days.

Any of you guys know how big the jump will be for Sam in the latest rankings next Monday assuming he doesn't win another match at Wimbledon? He's currently at 41

@Old Lion can't come to the computer right now. He's busy watching an intense serving montage of Womens Tennis from this year's Wimbledon.

Cibulkova's wedding in doubt after reaching QF

Pfft. She will have plenty of opportunities to get married. How many more chances is she really going to get at Wimby?

Venus Williams in the SF. So proud of her. Whatever happens from this point on is icing on the cake. Amazing run

Happy to see both of the Williams sisters advance.

The Berdych match remained a bit tipsy turvy which was fitting considering last night's events, but it's all good and I'm ready for Murray - Tsonga.

We need Fed to win the first set. Gonna be key.

 

[bksballer89]

Wish I wasn't at work. See that Fed dropped the first set.

Cilic up a set and a break

 

[bksballer89]

Fed is 5-1 vs Cilic but the last time they met, Cilic won in straights at the US Open

Yikes Fed down 2 sets

 

[nuraman00]

Been watching since the start.

FED has only had 3 break points across the first 2 sets.

He was down 0 - 5 in the 1st set tiebreaker and lost 7 - 3.

FED also had a 0 - 30 game on Cilic's serve, and Cilic only wins 38% of games when down 0 - 30. But Cilic went on to hold easily.

Things are bleak.

I'm also looking forward to that one. But I think Tsonga had a good chance to beat Murray at Wimbledon in 2010, 2012, but lost some of the important points.

 

[nuraman00]

FED holds after being down 0-40.

 

[nuraman00]

Cilic double faults to get broken, then FED holds to win the set 6 - 3.



Still, I think FED needs to actually break Cilic (out-hit), rather then have Cilic double fault a lot.



Headed to a 4th set.

 

[nuraman00]

FED manages to hold after being behind 15-40.

Mostly on 2nd serves too.

 

[bksballer89]

See that Sam forced a 4th set. Proud of him

 

[nuraman00]

FED faces match point but holds to make it 5-5 in the 4th.

 

[Hs0022]

I jinxed Fed three times just by looking at the scores!! The third time he was facing MP. Now I sneaked a peek and see he has set point in the fourth! Maybe I will jinx that too!!

 

[Old Lion]

Something was wrong with Sam in the second half of the 4th. He could not serve any more.
