Ugh, that’s disappointing. Congrats to Kerber.

Well done Kerber, Not a brilliant final and I’m really not a fan of the Williams game even though I acknowledge what she’s achieved. Rather like Sampras in that respect, I can never warm to them.

On the other hand I’m very much a fan of Nadal and Djokovic. That was an epic semi with some ridiculously good tennis. So pleased to see Novak back in the game. Is it too much to ask to see Murray fit again and have one last hurrah of the big 4?

:smack:

heh - I guess we all jump the gun now and then.  
If tomorrow can outdo yesterday’s semi, I’ll eat my chapeau.

And of course, I once again stupidly find out a result online (Serena’s loss) before it crosses my mind to _perhaps_ check out the PVR, uh, first?

Looked like it was Joker’s easiest match of the tourney.
