Nole gracious in defeat

Good to hear Djokovic's post match interview where he said he lost to the better player and congratulated Fed.

These 2 aren't the best of friends, so it can't be an easy defeat to take, but full credit to Nole for his sportsmanship and hope he now goes away and comes back refreshed to have a great crack at US Open.

Well don't to all players today in their semis.

Tsonga was really great even in loss.

What's the importance of being gracious in defeat? It's a show, people, they don't mean what they say.
Let's judge them how they act on court, not in press conferences
Djoko knows how to behave on court, but i don't care what he says a few hours later.

Hei Jonty and just got back from playing 3 weeks of very successful tennis myself at Ayia Napa, Cyprus. 9 matches and 9 victories and did not drop a set Really managed to get my single handed backhand topspinners to work, rifling them down the line, across court or at the opponents feet as the case may have been. How are you playing?

Great to see the boring Serbian machine is out of Wimbledon and now I have the final I could only have dreamed about a few months ago.

As much as I admire and idolise Roger, I have simply got to wish that our British number One wins his first Grand Slam.

Either way I applaud both players, and am really looking forward to the dream final, at the dream venue that is Wimbledon.

Boring mallorcan machine got crashed out in the second round only and will slip to no. 3.
It surprsies me that people can even mention nadull in GOAT's debate.

gallery play, it's called good PR!

Chest, welcome home, that's a cracking record, keep it up!


I'm switching between indoor and out at the moment and busy with kids coaching.....did you see any Wimbledon, been a super tournament so far.

I like Fed, probably more than Murray but here is where some patriotism kicks in so I'll be rooting fully for Murray tomorrow but can also appreciate it if Fed even further enhances his reputation.

Hei Jonty. I have not seen a single shot played by anybody so far but am now back in Norway just in time to watch the 2 finals

Really chuffed for Serena who will surely win easily? and am fascinated by the mens final. As you know I have been supporting Rafa on clay and hope he wins 10 French Opens, but this is a whole different ball game and either way something amazing is going to happen.

We are living in an era of living legends and a great British player is competing too. It doesn't get better than this?
