There are ways around that. You could weight Grand Slam semi-finals and finals insanely heavily but keep the early rounds as they are.

Seriously no need for that imo. I quite like the ranking system as it is. Probably a very good case for reducing the value of the World Tour Finals, though.

Ooh, Tsonga up a break in the fourth.

Threw my Lisicki-Tsonga ticket away after fed went up 2 sets. Might go retrieve it soon...

Tomic wont win this, but has been a huge effort. Used to think he was boring to watch, but really enjoying him this Wimbledon. Alot of defence but some of his shots are just first class.

 

[Uppercut]

In all seriousness, Tomic looks a fantastic prospect. Such a shame about the crumble in the third set because he's played some great tennis.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

That forehand before was sublime.

 

[centurymaker]

federer noooooo

 

[Bobisback]

Djokovic goes off as if he just broke Nadal to serve for the championship. Says something about Tomic.

 

[Bobisback]

Tsonga breaks first game of the 5th...

 

[Jarquis]

Bobisback to fetch his ticket..

Fetched and re-walleted.

That will be just what Fed needed to lift.

 

[Jarquis]

Was going to put £2 on Federer and then he shanked that forehand horribly on 30-15 so I didn't click confirm. **** that was an awful shot, just like the back hand he put long a few games ago. Where's the clinical Fed?

 

[_Ed_]

It's over!

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Tsongaaaah

 

[_Ed_]

Haha, what a reaction from the crowd on Court 1 when the result appeared on the screen.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Meanwhile Nadal gets an opponent who serves 35 %. Even Dementieva would be ashamed at that.

(yeah, ok, he had a tough opponent last match.)

 

[Jarquis]

Just got on Murray 3-1. Didn't see much value in backing him for the match at 1.09

 

[Uppercut]

I wouldn't expect Lopez to win a set.

 

[_Ed_]

This is getting ridiculous. I'm staying up to see the end of Marina Erakovic's doubles quarter-final - it's now a preposterous 11-11 in the third. Let me go to bed, FFS.

 

[Jarquis]

I wouldn't expect Lopez to win a set.

Yeah but I thought 4.3 was decent.

 

[_Ed_]

YES! 13-11! A Kiwi in the semis. Yeah, it's only doubles, but we'll take it.
