Is Halep back in Romania yet? I'd really like to see some images of her homecoming.

Shame, shame, shame, you fucking bastard rule changers. Yeah, I know Djok could win anyway but it would be fair then.
Wimbledon is most prestigious tournament at least if you're from ex-USSR - there were not much tennis at TV and green grass, all white dresses, serve and volley, it's what tennis should be not backline running to eternity, save it for RG.

Yeah, I think both were something like their best. Somewhere between 90-95%. It's not as well as either can play, but it was pretty good and at a higher level than anything else in the Men's tournament baring the Federer-Nadal Semi (which was the best match in terms of quality).

On reflection, was either player at anything like their best today? On the other hand, does it matter when we had such a dramatic and tense final hour?

I think it was live. But I was flicking between the 2 until about 46-47 overs, then stuck with the cricket. By then I was in no state to think about anything else at all.

I had to abandon this for the cricket tie-break. Like London buses ...

Really? Never knew that.
Maybe it is a good idea: to rotate the surfaces sometimes.

The Australian Open was played on grass until 1987.
The US Open was played on grass until 1974, then clay for three years, before finally switching to hard courts in 1978.

I always found it a bit odd that the surfaces aren't equally distributed across the majors. Two hard-court, one grass, one gravel.
Imagine if it was two gravel. Rafa would have 28 majors or something. Or two grass. How many would Sampras and Federer have then?

Rafa is going to win at least two more French Opens, isn't he?

Novak and Nadal are slightly better than Federer in extremely tense tie-breaks
and that is what split the players today.

Federer was the better player for four sets. He was about par in the fifth (and sixth). He served for the match and led 40-15. About the only place Djokovic had him was in the stress of tie-breaks. And that was enough! The toughest cookie in the jar.

4-2 at the change of ends after a rally where Federer put one plumb on the baseline. Puff of chalk and everything.
Next point is huge for a Federer. He must hold his serve...

The first two breakers featured unforced rally errors from Federer. The first point of this one ends with...an unforced backhand error by Federer!
