***Wimbledon 2017 Official Thread***

Speaking of Raonic, he was born in Yugoslavia. Can't say I've seen any Canadians question his nationality, the same way I see some Brits keen on pointing out Konta was born in Australia.

Maybe we've just got some miserable sods in this country, always looking for negativity. :p

From my point of view, national identity is about more than just place of birth. Some people I guess, can't see beyond that.

Anyway, as for Roger's resurgence compared to his younger opponents; I think how he plays the game helps his body emmensely, compared to Novak, Andy and especially Rafa, whose style of play is more punishing on their bodies. Roger plays as though he is going with the flow, so to speak, rather than against it.
 
I can see Fed winning Wimbledon this year. None of the top guns are in anymore ie Murray, Nadal and Novak all out.

With the way Fed has been playing this year, I can't see him having much difficulty in the final should he get there.

Immense player at his age.
 
Big day for Konta, she is up on all players left (H2H) but think Venus recently beat her. Regardless of the result, she has done a fantastic job to get here - unfortunately Robson and Watson aren't up to the task.

Very sharp from Murray that comment about 'male player' in the news conference.

How is that sharp. He's apparently calling out 'casual sexism' because the guy didn't qualify his statement with 'first male' when talking about his opponent in the MENS Wimbledon competition.

How ****** depressing is it that this is what we are doing now. It now seems we cannot say anything without people shouting 'sexism', 'racism' or some other form of discrimination.
