Wimbledon 2016

It's all over. No way Fed will win all the next games and Raonic only needs one more.

Merlin5 · 8 Jul 2016 at 16:35

Match point Raonic....

marc2003 · 8 Jul 2016 at 16:36

All credit to Raonic. He really kicked it up a notch in that last set. :cool:

After that, you really have to question whether Federer is going to win another slam.

Cosimo · 8 Jul 2016 at 16:37

Shame to see the great man lose but all credit to Raonic.

Merlin5 · 8 Jul 2016 at 16:42

Looks like achieving more than 7 men's singles wins is impossible.

Raonic doesn't even look like he's played, especially as it was against Federer. Lools fresh as a daisy.

I'm not sure we'll see Fed at Wimbledon again.

If Murray makes the final, it'll be the first time he's been the betting favourite in a slam final

Does Nadal winning 9 at the French not count?

Mentioned on the live text feed on BBC Sport that a Fed defeat here would be the first time we had no Fed, Rafa, or Djok in the semis at Wimbledon since 2002

Inspired by that, I checked when the last time none of those three were in the semis of any of the Grand Slams - it was the 2004 French. 12 years ago!

So, the sequence ends.

No Fed, Djok, Rafa in the final of Wimbledon for the first time since 2002, and in any of the Grand slams since 2004!

EDIT: Scratch that. It was Semi-finals for that stat, not finals. I remember the US Open being none of those in it a couple of years ago

Good point!

I'd like to see it happen at Wimbledon though, but unless Federer does it, it probably won't happen in my lifetime.

Cilic/Nishikori 2014 US open final is just one off the top of my head. Too lazy to check for more...

edit: I see you've edited your post.

Yeah, edited it and cited that US Open final

. Realised my original stat was talking Semi-Finals.

Bit of a collapse from Berdych at the end of that set. Shame.

Cosimo · 8 Jul 2016 at 18:26

Hopefully Raonic will put up more of a fight on Sunday.

JanM · 8 Jul 2016 at 18:38

I'm absolutely gutted Federer lost today. I knew he was not playing that well but just wanted him to some how win the title again as its probably his last chance.

Oh well.

marc2003 · 8 Jul 2016 at 18:56

Murray trundling along in 3rd gear without breaking a sweat. Both matches were a let down after those quarters.

robfosters · 8 Jul 2016 at 18:59

Has Raonic got what it takes to beat Murray?im not sure.

semi-pro waster · 8 Jul 2016 at 19:03

I was hoping for a Federer vs Murray final as that way I'd be fairly happy whoever won. If the match goes to form it'll be a very close affair but I'm hoping that Murray will prevail.

Merlin5 · 9 Jul 2016 at 13:09

Women's final at 2pm. No doubt Serena will win against Angelique Kerber. That said, Kerber has beaten her before.

fez · 9 Jul 2016 at 14:32

The quality of this is so poor compared to even early games in the men's competition. So many unforced errors and generally bad shots.

Merlin5 · 9 Jul 2016 at 14:35

Someone really should have told Serena by now to wear something less revealing in the nips department.

And that's that. Serena 7 times Wimbledon champ.
