Wimbledon 2011

I have put $5 of those winnings onto Tomic breaking Djokovic again in the 14th game this time at 9-1.

Tomic 4-1 up in the second set.

Tomic's odds to win the match have gone from 23-1 to 8-1 in the last five minutes.

This is a good game, watching it atm

I dropped that $5 but did it again for the next Djokovic service game and won.

Tomic won the second set 6-3 and is a break up in the third. Suddenly in the second the form switched and Tomic was hitting everything whilst Djokovic kept faulting.

 

[Troy]

Federer is now two sets up 6-3, 7-6.

Looks like a good game as well.

 

[Andrew]

Fuck Federer, who cares about him. He'll beat Tsonga but I hope he loses... He pisses me off with his wins, can't someone new take over?

 

[Troy]

Well Federer hasn't won for some time it has mainly been Nadal.

Tomic is now 3-1 up with Djokovic serving.

 

[Troy]

Djokovic held his serve and then broke back. Now Djokovic leads 4-3 with Tomic serving. Two major momentum shifts so far this match.

 

[Troy]

Great comeback from Djokovic to win that set 6-3. Two sets to one up now.

Can Tomic hold it together for another set.

 

[Troy]

2-2 in the fourth with both players breaking each other. Momentum starting to go to Tomic again.

 

[Troy]

It wasn't to be for Tomic as he lost 2-6, 6-3, 3-6, 5-7. Djokovic was just too good for him but I was impressed that he won a set and make him fight for the win. Good signs for the future.

Federer and Tsonga are currently locked at two sets each but Tsonga is 4-2 up in the fifth. An upset is on the cards.

Okay the women's singles final is now set with Sharapova to face Kvitova. Sharapova is clear favourite and if she doesn't win in straight sets I will be shocked. With the Williams sisters struggling this could be the time for Sharapova to make a run at more grand slams and possibly the number one ranking.

Tonight the men's semi-finals are on. Tsonga who beat Federer in five faces Djokovic. Murray then faces Nadal. My picks are Djokovic and Nadal.

 

[Dod Draper]

Djokovic 2 sets up against Tsonga. Looks like he's going to be in the final on Sunday.

 

[The New F'n Show]

Djokovic has struggled at times in his last two matches but he turns it on when he needs too. The Tomic kid impressed the hell out of me though and he seems to understand Tennis better than many. He is good at switching tempos and pulling out shots only when they favor him. He could be someone to watch out for. Sharapova should win tomorrow but Kvitova is playing well, think it may go 3 sets. Rafa wins again as well and I thought Djokovic would finally win this coming in but now I'm not sure.

 

[Troy]

Once Tomic matures physically and mentally he will be able to run out full games at the moment he suffers from going absent for portions of the game. In two years time he should be hitting great form.

Women's final tonight and Kvitova needs to hit all her serves. Her serving is her big weapon and if she is on song she could challenge but I still think the Sharapova will win this.

Djokovic becomes world number one even if he loses tomorrow. He rightly deserves the number one spot in the form he is in. A bit unfortunate for Nadal if he wins here and still drops the top ranking but it will be close at the top. Should be a great final. Both players have looked great but have also had their moments. Djokovic can go missing for parts of games whereas Nadal's foot seems to be giving him trouble. I have to pick Djokovic to cap off a brilliant start to the year.

Can somebody explain how Nadal still loses the #1 ranking regardless of if he beats Djokovic? That just makes absolutely no sense to me, regardless of whether Djokovic has hardly lost this year. Aren't their rankings based off the points they receive for winning matches? It's not like Nadal has lost many either, so the fact he could win a Grand Slam but still no longer be number one just sounds so dumb.

Either way, glad to see the final is between Nadal and Djokovic. Poor Murray can't buy his maiden Grand Slam title!
