Outstanding play from Anderson. Really deserved that.

Love it.

Going to be an interesting final between Nadal and Djokovic, unless there is another player or two with designs on a upset.

They play each other in the semis, if Nadal wins that is.

The way Djokovic is playing, when he's on it, I wouldn't be surprised to see a Djokovic vs Raonic final.

Oh OK. Thought Djokovic was in Federer's half. Oh well, in that case, winner of that, wins.

Marsman · 11 Jul 2018 at 17:39

Nadal sounds like he's straining for a dump.

Wizzfizz · 11 Jul 2018 at 17:49

Federer to me just looks like he can't be bothered now, he's achieved everything pretty much (on grass court). It's a matter of time before he retires now imo.

Tight tiebreak , 8-7 to Del Potro...
Del Potro wins 2nd set. 1 set each!

el_dazza · 11 Jul 2018 at 19:34

I fancy Isner to win the tournament. I don't believe he's lost serve yet.

GUTTED to see Roger go! But WHAT. A. MATCH!!!
I hope he comes back to Wimbledon for atleast one last time as I want to get there next year!

Merlin5 · 11 Jul 2018 at 19:55

This is another epic match. 2 sets each and deuce in the 5th set 3rd game.

Lol, Nadal ended up running and crashing into the front row audience.

Marsman · 11 Jul 2018 at 20:17

Raonic could be done.

Marsman · 11 Jul 2018 at 20:29

Battle of the big people it is. 6' 10" vs 6' 8".

That fifth set in the Nadal v Del Potro match was as good as it gets. Incredible from both players. And people were watching football instead of Tennis this evening? Crazy!

Marsman · 12 Jul 2018 at 10:07

I flicked over a few times to see what was happening in the football, but I stayed mainly with the tennis. Was certainly a lot more thrilling than what I saw going on in the football match.

We have had 2 great quarter finals and potentially a great semi to come between Nadal and Djokovic. I get the feeling the final will be a damp squib though, with Isner or Anderson getting to his first grand slam final. I think the occasion will over awe whoever it is, just as it has for many a debutant finalist before now.

Unless either Anderson or Isner can prove me wrong and make a contest of it, I'll likely be paying more attention to the football final.

I wish I'd been sat where that woman was

It wouldn't be Anderson's first final. He got to the US open final last year.

That'll teach me for not looking first.
