If Federer wins on Sunday he'll be the third player only to win a Grand Slam in the modern era post 33 years of age (Ken Rosewall and Andres Gimeno the others)...

 

He'll be by far the oldest Wimbledon winner, Arthur Ashe being a week short of his 32nd birthday previously (Federer is 34 on August 8th).

I really enjoyed that, there were some great games, pity they were all on Andy's serve mind.I'd love Roger to win one last Wimbledon but my head says Novak.

He's got a full day to stuff as much gluten free whizz down his trumpet as humanly possible.

Are the bookies offering odds on Roger losing but being awarded the title in a few years? I might have a punt on that one

Arguably today that was the best performance ever on centre court. Murray did nothing wrong but Federer was flawless across three sets.

 

Can he do it again? He will have to in order to win I think.

If you count motor racing as a sport then only Hamilton ranks higher n terms of major sports.

 

If not then he's the best british sports person out there.

To be fair like motor racing, tennis is a minority sport for posh kids in this country. Murray's parents sent him to tennis school in Spain when he was 15/16 at a cost to them of 40k.The vast majority of parents can't do that.

Agree, stopped what I was doing and watched that, absolutely thrilling.

 

Marion Bartoli just on now doing a bit of punditry, John Innverdale will be spinning in his grave.

It seemed that game might be the turning point, but then Roger won his service game in about a minute and broke Murray the next game.

Aye, I stopped watching then and cracked on with what I was doing.

Cable and preacher curls then a bar to focus on forearms. Grunted like a good 'un throughout.

 

Do you practice good etiquette or are you of the tattooed, steroid bulked types who are too hip and cool to put their weights back on the racks?

Does my bloody head in that.

 

I always go 9-10pm most week nights and the place looks like a jumble sale of free weights by the time I get there.

 

Dropping them does my head in too. If you can't put em down don't pick the fuckers up.

Absolutely! I'd rather stick to my 3 x 12 reps with 22kg bells than show off pressing 45kg 3 times, grunt and drop.
