I've just been mesmerised by the match between Venus Williams and Cory Gauff. They looked very similar in physique and style of play, but the big difference is in age. Venus 39, Cory 15. And the youngster won. Granted that Venus isn't the power she once was, but she's still a force to be reckoned with. It was remarkable that the kid was never visibly disturbed if something went wrong - she was completely composed and the best thing is that all the shrieks were coming from Venus. How good to find a newcomer that plays in silence!

So pleased Federer is in the final today!!
Was disgusted with BBC Breakfast this morning.. absolutely NO mention of the incredible 5 hour mens doubles final yesterday....
Great performance by Halep.. no histrionics..just fabulous tennis..

I agree. Great tennis yesterday, - fantastic Halep!, - and hopefully a great mens final today. I don't really mind who wins, although I am a fan of Federer.
I love Wimbledon and plan my days around it so I can watch as much as possible.

I settled down for an afternoon watching the women's final and it was all over within an hour! Halep was magnificent. She ran Serena off her feet. And when she was interviewed at the end, she was charmingly spontaneous and genuinely so happy, paying tribute to her mum who was there in the box.
I'd like to see Federer win today and if he plays as well as he did against Nadal, he might carry it off.
I enjoyed watching the men's doubles final in the evening - they had to put the roof on for the final set - full of admiration for the skill and speed of the doubles game.
