Maurice, you ask a question and you answer to it:)) You're such an idealist.. really.
I think You don't know what tennis is. You just fooling around and critic every one's words like you are the greatest filosoph of all the times. Just shut up and let people say their opinion, stop comment stupidities, U BIG MOUTH!

may be a boyball should put the ball in play ... lol

For me, i don't feel that Wimbledon quite produces the same spectacle as the French or Australian. Australia has to be my favourite because year in year out it always produces classic matches.

If the serve is a strong part of ur game u should not take advantage of it thats basically what ur saying .... looooooooolllllllll thats about the dummest comment i have ever heard. Do you really know what is tennis?... thought so.

serves are a big weapon at wimbledon and thats the way it goes, and thats why i prefer the french but a player like nadal can beat the big server as he did against karlovic at queens it is possible, now it remains to be seen if rafa can do it in the final assuming he gets there (hopefully). my money is on rafa

game set match to fed got that one wrong, master plan derailed. well done fed

Thank you Ralph:)

"Wimbledon is really the ugliest grand slam at all. If you serve, like Federer, the opponent can't do anything. Really boring." Yeah, this also seems to me to be correct.Not just Federrer has such a good serve and the oppenent just watch him doing that. That's what i am against this kind of play, because these players don't give other player the oportunity to play TOO! It should exist some tournament of those who give perfect serveses one after onether, to concurate who gives more many;))

he choked mostly because he has a better player in front of him. Like the dutch

Safin playing tennis is a bit like the Dutch playing football. When the Dutch are playing well and cohesive, they play beautiful football and appear to be able to win everything. However, as history as shown - barring one exception - they've always choked in the clutch.

With Marat it's partially the same. Of course, you may look at it differently.

2 sets down isn't good because he's never come back from 2 sets down to win in his career.

Simon doesn't know what he's talking about. 'I expect Federer to STROLL through in straight sets'. Where do they get these 'know-it-all' journalists???

plan back off the rails fed wins the 2nd set. marat now has a mountain to climb..........

I'll be surprised if Federer wins in straight sets. Like i said before, when Safin rises to the occasion, he can definitely beat any of the top 3. If he didn't have as many injury problems and had a stronger mentality then he'd easily be a top 5 player.

NICOLAS B of course its possible its called adrenalin

GRRR crunch time who gets the 2nd set. tie break coming up.......

correct pitic

fed definitely having more trouble than marat in securing his service games. mmmm can marat break ???

You are right about Federrer, indeed, but how come you didn't notice that he use to scream too!? i saw him a few time by now. Anyway, each person express in an own way and especially on the court, u cannot controlate what you feel. The reactions may be weak or strong. Everyone feels different. You like Murray much more?:) He would be number one...at screaming, making noise on the court rank:)) Nadal's more popular,let's say. All that matters are the results, their evolutions. Maybe you would scream too if you'd be a sportive...

roger just a little rattled here, wasted 2 challenges, the plan dare i say it is back on track, early days still but safin winning his service games easily, now he has to break and then who knows roger's unforced errors might start going up.
