Wimbledon 2009

[photonman]

Federer is through to the final with another straight sets win

7-6, 7-5, 6-3

Roddick vs Murray will be another tasty Semi, can't wait...hopefully Roddick defeats Murray, not really fond of that pommy

 

[Morgoth]

federer is being devastating again - like always!

 

[photonman]

Haas really had no chance of stopping Federer making his way to his 7th consecutive Wimbledon Final.

 

[Morgoth]

I thought haas would put up more of a fight though, he did get federer 2 love down in the french almost knocking him out of the tourney.

Meanwhile its Williams vs Williams in the women's final and Williams & Williams in the doubles as well

Looks like there is going to be 3 Mens Finals

It seems like Roddick has not read the script. Murray about to 'do a Henman'

 

[Morgoth]

lol @ the umpire penalizing Murray!

 

[hj2k_x]

Murray out

Great game.

Federer will eat Roddick for breakfast, though.

 

[Morgoth]

so its a 3rd time Roddic vs Federer as well, its quite a shame that Nadal can't play, Wimbledon is such a one sided affair.

 

[UltimateWarez]

[hj2k_x]

Serena 4-2 up in the 2nd, after winning the 1st. Could be over very soon

"IF" - By Rudyard Kipling!
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

I notice Federer and Nadal reading this poem before the broadcast starts, written by the Author of the jungle book its beautiful

How cool hearing Federer's mom being interviewed in Afrikaans!

I knew she was South African but still cool to hear. Our great SA genes spread everywhere!

 

[Morgoth]

yup sy is n Afrikaanse tannie!

 

[cybershark]

Roddick is playing very well, Federer is just hanging in there, doesn't look good.

Update:
Great fight back, with a little help

 

[LancelotSA]

Roddick is playing very well, Federer is just hanging in there, doesn't look good.

Write him off at your peril!!!!

 

[Morgoth]

Federer is back in the game, roddic chocked!
