If as she originally claimed, she was taking it despite not having realised it was banned, nope.

Murray beats Djokovich

The final shot to win the match was sensational.

Hmm, Murray's got some work to do from here

simonp · « **Reply #129 on:** 24 May, 2016, 01:37:21 pm »

Squeaked it.

3 Brit men into the second round, excellent. Now lets hope Konta can join Watson, and fingers crossed for Robson to have a decent match.

Hmmm, well that jinxed them $:-\$

Andy seems to be making a meal of this match too....

Andrew · « **Reply #132 on:** 25 May, 2016, 03:35:52 pm »

Murray's just watching. What's up Andy?

He needs to do some serious self motivation because he's really not there. Perhaps yesterday took it out of him in more ways than one.

Ive been stuck at home sick since Thursday. The Test Match and RG16 have saved my sanity!

The ITV4 coverage is very respectable. I'm one of those dinosaurs that still loves Auntie's coverage of Wimbledon; this coverage has a lot of the same qualities.

It's been a poor year for fashion so far. The boys wearing those awful zebra shirts; Konta and opponent wearing identical dresses. Quel horreur!?!

Andrew · « **Reply #134 on:** 25 May, 2016, 04:55:29 pm »

He pulled that one out of the fire. Incredible stuff. The guy can scrap, that's for sure. Massive credit.

If you normally take a bet on the highest number of sets to win a Grand Slam, this could be your year.

Oh dear, he's at it again...

Andrew · « **Reply #138 on:** 01 June, 2016, 03:46:52 pm »

Never does it the easy way does he?

pcolbeck · « **Reply #139 on:** 01 June, 2016, 04:54:55 pm »

Not so difficult in the end.

simonp · « **Reply #140 on:** 03 June, 2016, 05:09:12 pm »

And he's in the final, against Djokovic.

Only the tenth man in the modern era to reach all four grand slams.

Whatever happens, on Sunday evening there will be a new first time winner of the French Open.

Just seen Djokovic being interviewed. His body language says he's nervous.

Andrew · « **Reply #144 on:** 03 June, 2016, 06:45:52 pm »

Murray's coming to ripeness at just about the right time. That was a tough tough match, Stan is no sucker and he fought. If Murray can get his head in the right place then he's in with more than a shout. Djokovic is right to be nervous.

Come on Andy!

Eccentrica Gallumbits · « **Reply #145 on:** 04 June, 2016, 12:50:09 pm »

I feel like Andy wants it more. They both have had wobbles in the previous rounds, and I think overall they're pretty evenly matched these days. My heart says Andy ftw; my head can't decide.

simonp · « **Reply #146 on:** 04 June, 2016, 01:16:04 pm »

Mats Wilander said Andy played the best tactical match he's ever seen at the French Open. From someone of his pedigree, that's high praise, and Wilander has been pretty critical of Murray in the past.

Serena is an awful sportsperson. Glad we have a new winner.

mattc · « **Reply #149 on:** 04 June, 2016, 05:28:18 pm »

I'm generally not a fan, but today I thought she waas pretty gracious in defeat.

It was also the most entertaining wimmins final I have seen in a long time. Clay can be very dull, but they both tried to smash each-other off the court. Great stuff.
