Tripling down. MEN'S tennis is much, much greater than the mental midgets in women's tennis. They(women/mental midgets) don't deserve the same money because their product stinks and they don't play as long.

AND the fact that Serena is built like a gorilla is her problem.

Making the obvious observations in both statements makes me no bigot, a-hole.

It's virtually impossible to compare players from different eras and how one would play against another given all the changes affecting play from era to era, but if you are talking GOAT in womens tennis based upon achievements on the court within an era, Serena isn't even the discussion with Graf or Martina. Serena may be hard pressed to be in the top 5.

Agree. When looking at career accomplishments there is no argument, but what happens is people want to draw it down to "dominance" in an era to make their case. Weak shite.

When talking about GOAT, it's about CAREER accomplishments, which includes dominance and results. Serena is sorely lacking in results in an era of weak arse women's tennis.

Not a Murray fan but I'll bite my thumb and pull for him. I'd like Sampras to be able to hold on to his Wimbledon record (without sharing). Plus I like the irony of a Scot being the first Brit to win in 75 years. BUT- I predict Federer in 4.

If this were TNT, we'd be seeing race cars along the bottom of the screen promoting the next race, Franklin & Bash yukking it up on the bottom of the screen, etc.

Can't believe how calm and collective Murray has come out playing

And he just showed some nerves. I think he will only get tighter. This match is actually Fed's to lose.

And Fed playing into his hands. Playing nervous himself.

Think Fed pulls away something like 6-4, 6-7, 6-3, 6-4

I expect you'll see Fed come to the net A LOT in this match. I don't know why, but Murray has always seemed to have trouble when players come to net.
