think he was injured.... he was leading Berdych by a set and 2-0 in the second set.

Arm injury apparently!


Edit: Berdych was leading by a set and 2-0.

Road clear for Federer to win his 8th Wimbledon championship!

Correction. You have it reversed. Berdych was up

But but ...the Canadian can hold his head high.
That was no ordinary beating

In reply to NineMiles

Are you posting from the pub ...? Djoker lost the first set and was losing 0-2 in the 2nd.

Are you guys going to grow a pair and tell ManU and City to sod off over Dier and Walker?

Or punk out and sell?

Cilic will win Wimbledon. I hope I'm wrong, but that's what my gut feeling is telling me.

In reply to JohnBull

I'm not worried if both leave for £50m each. We can invest the money in a creative midfielder and a back-up central defender.

Trippier is good enough at right-back and I was quite disappointed with Dier's performance last season.

Roger is playing like he's 25 instead of 35 but I hear u re Cilic. He's hitting the fuzz off the ball right now and he's hungry for his first Wimbledon title. I think he will win too.

Cilic not beating Querrey

In reply to JohnBull

Last year Cilic was up 2 sets to none vs Roger at Wimbledon. Roger came back to win, but there was definitely some choking involved on Cilic's part.

A few years ago it looked like Federer had his best opportunity to win another US Open title. Nishikori beat Djokovic in the semis and Federer was set to face Cilic in the other semifinal. Cilic beat the pants off Roger. Fed could not return his serve and ended up losing in straight sets. Cilic's serve will pose even more problems on grass.

Fed has to get past Berdych first. When Berdych is at his best, he's capable of serving and hitting Federer right off the court.

Fed hasn't really shown any chinks in the armor himself, apart from his tendency to go for a mental stroll when he seems to have everything in control. He can't afford those types of slipups against huge servers who at times seem almost impossible to break. There's so much strain and pressure just to hold your serve when you face those guys. Sometimes all you can hope for is to get to a tiebreak.

You lying Devin. Federer is play without the selfdoubt of previous years which make him difficult to beat. The top 4 usually beat the others by sheer confidence.

In reply to FuzzyWuzzy

Like I said, I've seen Federer blown off the court by big hitters. Berdych has done it to him, and Cilic absolutely dismantled him at the US Open. Would've beaten him last year at Wimbledon as well if he was able to hold his nerve. Fed may be confident, but so is Cilic, as is Berdych and Querrey. Cilic came into this tournament in good form. If I'm not mistaken, he won one of the grass court tune-ups prior to Wimbledon.

In reply to Devin

Berdych will choke. Cillic more likely to hold his nerve but this is a rejuvenated Federer
