Watching the tennis finals.
I don't watch a lot of tennis, but like the finals matches. Only if there is nothing else to do. Prefer the women's matches. For me the men take too long and it becomes boring.
One thing I have noticed, not so bad this match, but the players boxes seem to be usually filled with unkempt, very bored and sad looking people. |

i usually watch three matches only at wimbledon, mens semi's and mens final, but only on tv, i get tired of the camera showing celebrities, relatives, and coaches, tired that i have wanted to go my entire life and certain people can just walk in at the drop of a hat, in fact i get a bit more tired of sport in general every year, Where are the new superstars? I think tennis peaked a while back. |

The best match was yesterday, Federer and Nadal... epic battle, but with Serena always dominating, I find the men better viewing

federer looking good, kept his head after losing second set, from then on he had the measure of his opponent,
djokovic could easily break his heart tomorrow. |

So much prefer men’s tennis.
The action is way more fun. But I admit I don’t have the patience sit through full matches. Never noticed anything about unhappy unkempt people. But then, I don’t look for stuff like that.

Loved the Federer Nadal match and taping the finals this morning. Going out to enjoy some quality time with the family on the water this morning.
I hope it’s a good match today! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

incredible match, that will hurt federer massively, and if he had won it would probably have been his best ever victory,
i watched the whole match, i wonder if i will watch another, as its only really the big 3 that have interested me the last few years. well done djokovic. |

They should make the tiebreaker at 6-6, its just too long otherwise, and really puts the elderly at a disadvantage when it's past their bed time.

As they say, that’s how it goes, and all the credit to the joker who won when it mattered Edit: Roger won, 218 to 204 |

Today I am exhausted, the tennis was five hours and the cricket was all day, I was shattered by the end and I sat on the couch the whole time!

i dont want him to tarnish his legacy, although he has won lots, he has had a lot of defeats aswell, its not good to see him coming up short, he has one hell of a life outside tennis to come, he is an incredibly lucky man, and well liked.
