What time is the game on tonight?

-PB

Kyrgios(y)

2am
A hopeless time slot in Australia

12am Beijing, Shanghai, Indian Ocean, Singapore, Indonesian and Perth time though:-k

Well done by Kyrgios but I'd expect Raonic to clean him up. Nadal's power ground game is easier to counter on grass than Raonic's big serve and willingness to approach the net.

Called it. Good effort Nicko.

lol less than 24 hours between games, anyone could have called that.

Raonic was in the same boat.

What does annoy me was how Kyrgios was seen as the toast of the country a day before, by defeating Nadal the night before. Without even thinking about or celebrating taming Nadal, hes out of the tournament. Almost in the same breath

It's a fucking 50/50... nothing to be proud of mate :lol:

No shit. That's apparent because he won. You act like Kyrgios has never played games of tennis on consecutive days before in his life.

Against the World #1 and the 8th seed of the greatest Tennis tournament there is; probably not no.

Kvitova on fire, match nearly over.

what a shit time zone Australia has to watch the wimbledon final

First serve for the men's final was at 11pm!

Did not see a single ball hit in anger as a result! :x

Whoever does the scheduling in England needs to be shot. First weekend of TDF, Silverstone and Wimbledon final all on the same weekend is stupid.

The US Open is on right now :-({|=

The day time sessions are on at an unreasonable waking time, but the night sessions (6pm session onwards from New York City) are great to watch in Australia, with the last match of the evening session finishing around 2pm (midnight their time)

Unfortunately most of us are at work when this is all happening :-k

And Jack Sock must have the worst name in world sport, in that he hasnt won jackshit 8-[

I feel as if Kygrios is every bit as cocky and arrogant as Tomic yet he isn't torn to shreds by the Aus media

I tend to agree. However, Kyrgios is exciting to watch and doesn't give up, unlike Tomic, which is why everyone has taken to him. I do agree though, if Tomic said the same stuff as Kyrgios, everyone would be up in arms.

But think about it, youre going to have to be if youre going to challenge the might of Euro legends in the likes of Djokovic, Federer and Nadal, among others!
Those guys are the masters of playing the mind games, and at the highest level tennis is a game of wills as well as ability

Fuck these Federer fanboys cheering double faults from Monfils.

and, for the first time in a decade, there is a men's singles final to not feature nadal, djokovic, federer and murray

Cilic has always had the game to win a grand slam or go deep in one at least, hes derailed himself a couple of times, getting a ban for doping

and Nishikori is your typical a crazy extreme sportsman, there will be questions on his longevity with the way he plays, he has to do everything, at full functionality

and cilic has done it

In a final that evoked memories of the Krajicek vs Mali Vai Washington Wimbledon Final one all those years ago

Another day another Stosur choke.

^

My wife and I were flicking through the channels and saw she was leading 3-0 in the final set and my wife said "she'll choke"

We both chuckled and went to bed.

Now I feel bad.

Watching a replay of the 05 Quarter final between Hewitt and Nalbandian, what a match. =d> =d> =d>

Some terrible calls in this match though.

Despite not being well liked man has Hewitt been in some epics.

Classic Ch7 take off Radwanska v Muguruza at a pivotal moment in the match so we can watch that campaigner Stosur. :x

Did anyone watch that fast 4 tennis?

Nah I missed it, was at the Iraq v Jordan game instead. Came home to see Hewiit, Fed & the two nine stooges sitting on roller chairs conducting some sort of interview.

Husband and wife imagine young sporty woman choking before they go to bed chuckling... Wake up feeling bad... It takes all sorts I suppose.
