Without dropping a set just amazing
Incredible from Roger
Greatest that there's ever been.
What? He was playing well at the start.
Awesome for Federer but god, those two finals were horrible for the neutral viewer.
Amazing!
Won Wimbledon at 35 without dropping a set. What a man. The greatest.
A nearly 36 year old Federer winning 2 out of 3 slams this year. Unbelievable.
I want a 9th
I love Roger. Congrats my champ! The greatest tennis player ever.
Icon of tennis
They were, particularly given there have been some epic battles in this tournament.
What a player, well done Fed.
Greatest Sportsman of all time?
Without dropping a set at Wimbey. Amazing achievement.
Nadal - Muller easily the best match of the tournament and its high point.
Wonderful to see all his kids there to see the moment...
For me, yes
Yep, suspect the number of viewers who stopped watching halfway through both finals will be huge.
Well-deserved win there.
Just to highlight that Venus Williams has had a very bad illness for several years now. So the illness is not worse today. In fact, she is controlling it better now than at anytime in the last few years.
The result of which is a Wimbledon Final spot.
So, I say again...why should she retired when she is playing the best tennis in the last few years?
I'm a self-employed software engineer and I run an independent agency with a decent clientele in 4 countries, and my hourly rate is $150/hr. If a client engages my services for the whole day, I charge them $600.
I actually know a lot of Federer fans in real life and they are loathsome! Basically like the glory-hunters version of football fans.So a meltdown of a fan base, majority of whom you do not even know, compensates for your real world monetary loss?
See my last post.
If making 3,600 euros of a 1,200 euro bet @3 is called stupid, then I guess joke's on you!
Thanks mate! Although now I've regretted putting on Djokovic.
There is nothing in life more boring than people boasting about their bets.
Aussie Open Winner - Federer
French Open Winner - Nadal
Wimbledon Winner - Federer.
All players in their 30s, who apparently are passed their best.
Let's see who wins the US Open.

Especially when it's Essex Rob.
Lots of people probably tuned in to see Nadal and Fed win.
Hate it when Wimbledon ends. The beginning of the clay season and end of Wimbledon is the best part of the tennis season for me.
Congrats to Roger.
An underwhelming tournament though, two in a row really. Hopefully the US Open is a more interesting slam.
Though last years US Open wasn't great either.

Fed just put on an absolute Cilic
You heard me
You heard me
Get on with it ffs, I want to know who the new Doctor is!
But he never boasted! He was always losing.
Is Federer the biggest flat track bully in sport?
A very high number of his victories have come against really crap opposition. I understand he can beat only what's around him, but he seems to do the beating only when the field lacks depth.
This is not to say he's not in the GOAT debate -- but the last year or so, the tennis competition has been pretty mediocre.

That's a bizarre accusation.
@Giggsy92 How do you feel now about race to No.1?
He's up there, but for me that is Ali.
Maybe in his early years which has been debated to death.
But can't blame him for this tournament when Djokovic, Murray and Nadal couldn't reach the final.
Going down, Murray.
I have openly shared my bets here prior to the match results as I don't bullshit or boast around unlike some of the posters here who brags about their winnings but don't post their bets. The fact that you've called me out for it shows how small-minded some people can be. This is an internet forum and we are free to discuss anything. Get over it.
