i know i've heard this before but why do you guys dislike nadal so much?

i prefer federer but nadal is still exciting to watch
---

Never been a fan of Nadal's back court grind style. Less so when I actually played at a decent level in high school, but yeah.
---

I'm the opposite and don't like Federer. I've gotten over that a bit over the years but still prefer the other pros.

iirc it was some fat band member from the university of oklahoma crying after a bowl game loss

but that was years ago
---

Venus and Muguruza though.

Coco down a set - this would be a pretty disappointing loss if she doesn't pull this match out.
---

Konta/Halep was a very good match. That probably should have been the final.
---

lol murray
---

Wow. Murray is sucking hard right now. He doesn't have a prayer against Federer or Djokovic.
---

Lol murray
---

wow
---

Literally an American in the semis at Wimbledon

Sampras would be proud
---

please do not let Cilic into the final please, Sam
---

Lol Murray had a comfy draw and still bottled it.
---

muller please save tennis

Gilles Muller can still save you.

In fairness he is very clearly injured but there's no way the defending champ is going to pull out injured in his home slam

Ok so here's the plan

First, this happens and Sam wins his semifinal

Then, Old Man Federer gets taken to a very extended 5th set by Djokovic in the other semifinal, leading to an exhausted Federror showing up in the finals.

Then the American wins the British Tennis tournament
---

if we truly went back in time this year, the finals should be Federer > Querrey and Venus > ...well I guess there's no analogue to 10 years ago on the other side of the women's draw.
---

I would also be thrilled with a 2007-quality final. Seriously that match was incredible.
---

welp
---

retiring novak is back

everything is falling into place for #19
---

Ouch. Maybe with some hiatus Nole will come back even stronger like what happened with Fed/Nadal.
---

why did he retire
---

why did he retire

Shoulder injury, it looks like
---

ya go my federer
---

meh
---

One more for Federer!
---

jeez, Muguruza wasn't messing around today
---

It helps when you're playing the weakest player still in the draw. She'll lose the final in straight sets.
---

Venus through. RIP great britain
---

zzzz
---

Gutted for Konta but she haf a great tournament.

Williams vs Muguruza will be interesting. Im rooting for Mugu.
---

God, even with one pregnant the other just takes her place at the top.

Konta/Halep was a very good match. That probably should have been the final.

Seriously one of my favourite matches ever at Wimbledon

Shame about today. But Venus. God damn.
---

Venus: "It's been a pretty good year."

Hmmmm.

Anyway, rooting for Querrey/Federer final so I would be happy with either winner.
---

Wow what a play by Querrey there on the 8th tiebreak point.

Cilic's serve looks overpowering.
---

Dying old lady definitely fucked with Cilic's momentum there
---

Definitely looks like we're headed for a 7-6 6-7 7-6 6-7 14-16 or something similar. Cilic looks better.
---

Sadly, Cilic has this in 4
---

querrey pls

I don't want to live in a world where cilic could potentially be a 2-time slam winner
---

Querrey looks gassed. His body language is like **** since the first set and is only getting worse.

Or is he always like this?
---

not a promising start to the third set
---

Wow, he really needed that
---

well that's probably the end of this match

federer save us
---

maybe I spoke too soon !
---

That third set was heartbreaking
