Several posters in this very thread wouldn’t have survived that so I’m glad it didn’t.

Her losing here at least buys us a few more months before the god tier hype train around her returns.

If she loses...

Kinda similar to last year's final, Serena is poor and her opponent is playing a very clean and professional match.

I do hope Serena wins another 1-2 majors just so she knocks Court off the top for good.

When Sampras was in the Wimbledon box watching Federer break his 14 slam record, he was the same age as Roger is today.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I'm a very casual fan (in fact Wimbledon singles is the only event I routinely watch) but I kind of latched on to Halep early in this tournament and I'm glad she won.

So who would win more tennis matches if it were MJ vs LeBron in their primes?

That’s tough. I think I would probably think MJ with his superior footwork would probably mean he’d develop a very precise sort of game. LeBron might be quicker and definitely is stronger though so would probably have a monster serve.

Holy moly, Djokovic is hitting amazing shots.

I want Federer to win, of course, but wow.

Edit: On the other hand, Federer's serve is really, really on.

The quality of the play here is so high. If Djokovic wanted to poo poo the bed here unexpectedly I wouldn't mind, but as is this is amazing to watch.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Swedish commentator and Thomas Enqvist on Eurosport just said something interesting. Like 80% of the crowd watching want Federer to win and that has made Djoko furious in the past. So far in this match he has kept his cool, he’s not a whiny bitch just yet.

Hopefully he soon goes back to his usual self and get 100% of the crowd against him.

Just 80%? I’m disappointed in them.

Thing is the crowd being against him just fires him up eventually. The only match I remember that being a factor was the Wimbledon 2013 final, and that was against Murray. I think his insecurity about being liked is almost exclusively with regards to Federer and Nadal, so those are the matches where he digs in and fully adopts being the villain. He didn't have that with Murray at Wimbledon (i.e. he didn't take it personally the way he does with Fedal) so instead he just basically gave up.
