definitely Ben, Murray really looked up to it against Tsonga the other day and I think it won't be easy for Federer tomorrow.

Serena Williams wins the Women's... jeez she looks like a man and plays like one

Both these men in the doubles final support Liverpool so I hope they win. Marray and Nielsen that is.

Fantastic win by Federer, 17 grand slam titles! BLOODY HELL! Murray had a fantastic game, he tried his best and didn't choke but he was beaten by a BETTER tennis player.

Made up!

I like Roger, I love Roger, delighted he won, gutted for Andy, would have loved him to have won, but I'm bored of Federer, the sooner a young spark comes up through the ranks and starts slaying the likes of Federer, Djokovic and Nadal the better. Men's tennis is boring, it's the same two/three winners every year.

That was the first slam Federer had won in 2 and a half years.

There have been 4 different winners of slams in the last 3 years. The matches between the players are fantastic including that final .

Tennis has never been more exciting. Normally it's just two going for the title now we have 4 or even 6 capable

Ferrer
Djokovic
Del Potro
Federer
Nadal
Murray
Tsonga

Thats 7 players who can win a slam ( all have reached finals in recent times with 4 of them winning )

plus players just on the outside like Berdych and Youzhny.

9x out of 10, it's going to Djokovic or Nadal who win Grand Slams.

Andy Murray, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and David Ferrer are never going to win a slam and Del Potro won't win another one.

Men's tennis has been exciting in the past few years.

Not really, it's always two people well above anyone else. Sampras/Agassi. Roger/Rafa and now Rafa and Djokovic. Women's tennis provides a huge variety of Champions.

Feel for Murray there. Gave it his all, went a set up and took the second set close, but in the end was outclassed by a great player playing at the top of his game. No shame in that.

So definate yet the last two weeks I have witnessed Nadal and Djokovic getting slapped by outsiders and the crowds loving whilst there were empty seats for ladies semi finals !!!

If you think men's tennis is boring then I'm not sure what you are watching
