Del Potro was seriously brilliant as well today, best tennis of the championship so far.

He's been out-muscled by Verdasco before, it's not a good match-up for Murray.

Isn't he 9-1 against Verdasco now, hardly suggests it's not a good match-up really?

 

[Uppercut]

True but he's ranked like 60th, he's not the quality of player you'd expect to beat Murray anyway. When he's gone out to worse players in big tournaments it's often been to big hitters.

 

[Scaly piscine]

The way Murray was playing was perfect for Verdasco though. Loopy whipped shots meaning Verdasco can hit his big forehand. Murray's returning against him was poor, defensive and let him take the initiative. Murray also never really mixed it up, particularly with his second serves. They were nearly always ridiculously slow and waiting to be hammered - he hardly ever went for a second serve and I can only remember one decent body serve.

Boom Boom Lisicki!

Is Lisicki hot? I don't really get it, little chip-munk face, irritating smile, honestly I hate people that smile so much, it's ****ing annoying.

Seems the darling of the crowds and press though. kraut v frog, hard to know who to light-heartedly be racist too the most.

Compared to Bartoli she is lol.

Lisicki's body is great, I don't really focus on her face that much. She's had an awesome run to reach the final though.

Totally Rad could not handle Fully Lisicki's power.

Agi Radf will see this as the best chance she will ever have of winning a slam. She'd be gutted.

 

[NUFAN]

Rad needs a bit more meat on her legs, they look so thin, perhaps it was that white tape that made them appear anorexic like. The final should be pretty good really, I actually really enjoy watching both of them play on grass.

Djokovic vs Del Potro is going to be epic eh Jono.

Given Delpo isn't fit I can't see that match being very interesting.

Cracking body, she not the worst facially anyway. Best looking of the semi finalists anyway.

Those of us old enough to remember the horror days of Arancha Sanchez-Vicario know never to complain about current female players.

To be fair she was more than made up for by Sabatini and Graf's body.

No doubt the talent on display is much superior in general nowadays, I guess it's like they say standards are bound to raise with more concentration on fitness.

Lol. All time poor post

 

[NUFAN]

Since I said the exact opposite to Morgie, thanks Jono for saying that my post was an all time great one.
