5th set then..

 

[MW1304]

Tsonga broken. About as predictable as anything.

Ah well fun while it lasted. This one's over.

How terrible does this look now?

Especially after you having a go at people for calling Djokovic/Querrey predictable after 2 sets.

 

[Pratters]

Of every one worth their salt loses, Federer will win.

At last ... Murray . 4-0

 

[MW1304]

Thank gawd Muzzle.

Some good tennis from Tsonga . But Murray through . Back to the footie.

 

[Furball]

Wouldn't be Murray without putting us through the ringer.

raonic has a great chance to reach the wimbledon finals...federer coming off a tough 5 setter...in any case that was a classic and roger has done very well to get this far...it will take something special from berdych and a major fall in form from murray for the scot to lose that one...i see a murray vs raonic final...

Djokovic lost. Murray still won

Nah fair play to Jo. What happened in the 5th though? Went to bed in a fit of rage.

 

[_Ed_]

Just ran out of steam, I think. The Isner game might have taken its toll.

 

[Burgey]

Federer.

That is all.

Yep. Fed's recent losses have very often come the next round after he played 5 sets

Niall, Vimes - Kerber at $1.33 vs. Venus seems short, no?

I dunno!

I haven't watched enough of either to feel strongly about that match whatsoever over the last few weeks.

I suppose laying Kerber pre match at those prices isn't the worse idea if I had to have to some financial interest in it as you should get a chance to lock in some sort of profit.

 

[Anil]

Federer.

That is all.

yeah the man is a synonym for awesome...

Stop Gambhiring, man. Just believe.

Raonic will be tough but I think Federer will be careful not to let him get off to a flyer like he did vs. Cilic. Just hope his body holds up well, in a long match I'd still back him against anyone except Djokovic.

A little. Venus' run hasn't been that impressive in terms of opponents she's beaten - Carla Suárez the best in her path and she got let off the hook by Kasatkina. However, I have mental question marks over how Kerber will handle playing Venus at Wimbledon, and she also had a pretty easy run.

$1.50 seems more fair.

Expecting a Williams v Kerber final on Saturday.

Not exactly an ideal start here for Vesnina
