    Fantastic match

    Even if you don't like tennis you have to admire two athletes at their prime battling it out! Amazing (clap)

    Exactly mate. Surely you don't have to have been a tennis fan to enjoy the 2 best players on Earth battling it out in an amazing encounter.

    Not a big tennis fan but I agree 100%. The quality of the play was superb. The backhand winner by Federer at match point in the 4th was amazing. The guy never gave in and refused to accept defeat.

    And Nadal, after being so close numerous times, must have thought he would never bag it, but never let each missed opportunity get to him.

    Total winners - if only the UK could product people with that mentality we might get somewhere.

    Oh - silly me, I forgot - our kids in school are not allowed to forge the attitude of there being winners and losers, so everyone's a winner, otherwise the losers might get upset and blub.

    We do produce winners

    There were two great sports events yesterday. The fantastic Wimbledon final and the equally amazing British Grand Prix where in atrocious conditions a young English lad absolutely destroyed the rest of the field in a simply awesome performance.

    RE: mixed doubles is a joke

    It can be a reight laff picking up £45.000 and gaining entry into the other Grand Slam tournaments.
