Seaside Nipper Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 I read your post - it seemed almost convincing - I was almost hooked - I was buying into it... Until I reached that bit, above! What a brilliant wind-up merchant you are! No wind up, I'm a Nike and Cobra man if truth he told. You need to commit to convince on the fashionable Links and on the typical Braid's layouts. I blame my ol man, dragged me into the gowf as a Nipper, I'm eternally grateful to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 Williams, the other one, against Muguruza today in the womens final today. The Spanish lady has had a mixed career, the highlights being runner up at Wimbledon 2 years ago and winning the French last year. Not much between them, and the odds reflect this with Williams being 11/10 and Maguruza 4/5. Think I'll go for Williams, offering a slightly better return.

faraway saint Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 Muguruza wins 2-0, 6-0 in the 2nd set, Williams absolutely fell apart in the 2nd set. Better player won, although was, somewhat, handed to her in the last set. Well done to her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 Just watching the women's wheelchair doubles........................astounding how the players can move around on the court. They just completed a 37 shot rally and while the ball is allowed to bounce twice it rarely did. Just breath taking at the strength and skill on display.

British women beat the Dutch ladies 2-1, 6-0 in the final set. Very enjoyable and congratulations. Decent crowd and the hope is these finals can get onto the bigger courts in the years to come, and why not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 Centre court looking a wee bit worn this year, the warm weather has resulted in a few more "dodgy" bounces than usual although if you look back to the 70's/80's the court was really worn and harder to read the bounce. Anyhow, probably the greatest player ever due on the court in under an hour. Cilic has a chance, big serve and moves well but it's hard to see past Federer. Looking forward to this.

faraway saint Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 Federer wins first set 6-3. Cilic, under pressure, has dropped his first serve average below 50%. Class telling at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 Cilic falling apart early in the 2nd set, unforced error count going through the roof, 3-0 down already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cilic had a wee "greet", back out, nothing obvious wrong with him physically, maybe just realises he's fecked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cilic 2-1 in the 3rd, doubt he can sustain any sort of form/threat. Only a matter of time IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 (edited) Federer wins 6-3, 6-1, 6-4 and is, probably, the best player there has ever been. Hasn't dropped a set throughout the tournament. Edited July 16, 2017 by faraway saint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All set up for another Wimbledon victory? Not sure, the nemesis that is Federer is my main concern. Bonus is he would only meet him in the final where I believe he would have a better chance. Federer wins his 8th Wimbledon title, quite a career. 19 grand slam titles. Just as well he's getting auld, give some other people a chance in the next few years.

TBH he did put up a bit of a fight in the 3rd set, he was a mess in the 2nd and looked like he was going to pull out so some credit for him putting in some effort.

I'll stay interested for some bets, that's about it although I feel there is a change coming with some decent young players who, while they probably won't win it, they will go far and cause some upsets.
