Waves across to the 'haters' thread grin

The centre court umpire has a VERY sexy voice. Sounds a bit like Barry White.

Forty.....luuuuuurve

No I don't think so Jo Kon said she thought it was someone getting over excited

What actually happened when that woman shouted out? I was 'watching' it with my eyes closed [I do that a lot with sport]. Did it affect the result?

I agree a great match. I too am sorry that my fav tennis player Nada is out, but as usual he didn`t make a big deal of being the loser and when interviewed said that Muller deserved to win.

What a fantastic match it was between Nadal and Muller! Hope the men's final is equally good.

I did want Muller to win, even though I'm a huge Nadal fan. I just felt he deserved it. However, what usually happens in cases like this is that Muller will now lose quite badly in the next round.How sportspeople of this calibre come back and fight so hard [both Muller and Nadal in this case] is beyond me. I'd just go 'ok; I'm going to lose now, goodbye'.

I am not a fan of Nadal so I was delighted to see Muller win although it was 50/50 at the end. He is now 35 so I would imagine that it is his last chance of winning Wimbledon. Not that I want him winning but he may play in the final against Andy if he has the stamina after this evening.

Anyone still reeling from the epic Nadal v Muller?
