2 sets up already. Stan is looking rattled.

Pigeon_Killer · 3 Jun 2016 at 16:00

He's playing superb tennis but superb tennis isn't good enough to beat Djokovic unfortunately

Stan's getting smashed up.

Would love ITV to get the Wimbledon coverage. Jim Courier's an excellent commentator and we actually get replays between points rather than celebrity watch like we do on the BBC.

robfosters · 3 Jun 2016 at 16:54

One game away.

Great response from Murray after losing that 3rd set.

I expect we'd get ad breaks in between points instead.

Haven't found the ads too intrusive tbh. It's generally between dull points and only 1 advert at a time. So much better than 30 minutes of Bradley ****ing Cooper clapping :mad:

Come on Muguruza. First set in the bag.

Oh and someone please shoot Bartoli. Her verbal diarrhoea is starting to grate. :mad:

The last thing I would ever bet on in sport is a woman tennis player holding her serve.

Pigeon_Killer · 4 Jun 2016 at 16:11

Good performance from Muguruza and she's got to go in to Wimbledon as the favorite now. Williams is still at the top but at 34 you've got to wonder how many more slams she's got in her.

Hope for a close final tomorrow but expect a straight sets victory for the machine

Was not expecting that but well done to Muguraza, I don't know whether Williams was having an off day or if she just wasn't allowed to play the way she wanted but a well deserved win there.

I'm not really looking forward to the match tomorrow, watching Murray is almost always nerve-wracking.

I have a feeling Murray's going to win in 4 sets :eek:

Pigeon_Killer · 5 Jun 2016 at 13:56

Winner will be the mentally tougher on the day and that's usually Djokovic. If Murray can win over the crowd and put pressure on Djokovic early he's got a chance but I fancy a straights sets victory if Djokovic wins the first.

el_dazza · 5 Jun 2016 at 14:17

Djokovic breaks to love in the opening game..

Murray breaks straight back

Pigeon_Killer · 5 Jun 2016 at 14:23

Murray's hit a few fantastic lobs in the last few days, that was another cracker.

el_dazza · 5 Jun 2016 at 14:30

Wow, a break up for Murray now, 1-3.
1-4, what a start!

marc2003 · 5 Jun 2016 at 14:34

el_dazza · 5 Jun 2016 at 14:48

5-2, doesn't want to get into too many of these deuce battles though.

semi-pro waster · 5 Jun 2016 at 14:48

What odds would you have got on both to lose serve in the first two games? It's been quite some start, one game away from the first set for Murray now.
