    Who would you prefer to watch ,an aggressive player going for big shots or a grinder playing percentage tennis.
    Slower courts suit grinders and that's why guys like Brown dont have a chance.

    I remember Sampras winning Wimbledon 7 times on the fast courts in the 90s - it was not particularly entertaining.

    Djokovic not good at converting break points ...

    Was just about to say that! Although Tomic seems to pull it together each time and play brilliantly so I don't know how much is actually down to Djokovic simply not converting them.

    Djokovic looking good.... still think Murray will nick it tho..

    Would be fun if Heather could make a match of this.. but I think she'll win six games max.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,513 ✭✭✭seanhynes


    25mins ha I'd say another 2 max next set too

    Isner/Cilic into a first set tie break.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 492 ✭✭Wicklow Brave


    Go on Heather!

    Nice one Heather, starting to make this interesting!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce


    Come on Heather. You have her rattled now!

    Is it just me, or has Serena up-ed the decibel level of her scream? If so, un sporting.

    What is it with Williams and her going about if she's in pain and discomfort ??

    Who knows, but she isn't a happy bunny out there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,919 ✭✭✭RosyLily


    Go Heather!! Great fight. She could not find a 1st serve in that last game though.

    She's a possum not a bunny and a pro one at that.

    I couldn't watch her at RG this year, I felt so lethargic just watching her.

    Almost like she wants to say ¨look Im still winning/dominating despite being so sickly and weak ..¨

    Djokovic creates an insane amount of break points in most matches, but his conversion rate is often dismal. You will often see in his set stats 2/10 breakpoints converted or the likes.

    Someone worked out a year or two ago that if you didn't get your first serve in against him, you were more likely to win the point if you let HIM serve for the point :) . Would be comical to see if it was allowed.....

    Still, he seems to be serving as well as he was here last year, and he will take a bit of beating if he doesn't get dragged into unnecessary five setters along the way...

    Well well well, looks like I picked a good time to arrive home (about half an hour ago) and turn the tennis on :D

    Hope it's not another re-run of Berankis/Cilic, though, where Berankis basically ran out of steam at the end.......

    Wow, certainly didn't expect this!

    Can heather hold her nerve?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 492 ✭✭Wicklow Brave


    Heather couldn't could she?!

    I'd still say it's 1/10 Serena will win if I'm honest...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,556 ✭✭✭the_monkey


    I´m enjoying this, I usually don't like the home crowd when Muz is playing ... but this is just as fine as paint :):):)

    2 breaks down , it's tough, but it's Serena .... caution!!

    Neither did the Williams mother it seems. She's back in her seat.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,506 ✭✭✭✭HeidiHeidi


    Both getting nervy now......


  • Registered Users Posts: 14 5599


    Serena looks like she's on that part of the month.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,556 ✭✭✭the_monkey


    ah get of the stage Serena !!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,223 ✭✭✭✭flazio


    This is reminding me of the Williams/Lisicki match from 2 years ago.

    Looked like Serena had surrendered that point before Heather had even hit it.

    :eek:
