Tennis 2019

A major sport hasn’t needed a young superstar to emerge so badly since golf pre-Woods.

A teenage Nadal, Djokovic or Murray would scalp the arses of Zverev and co.
 
Some quality stuff out there.

Anyone know what time Nadal/Fed is tomorrow, UK time?

I think it's going to go the way of the WTA once these 3 retire. You'll probably have 6 different Slam winners in 2 years and random semi finalists like the women have had here. It's going to be hard to watch the game fall to the depths it will once these 3 are gone
 
Not watching, just following the scores but Barty was up 5-0 in the opening set.

Anisimova won the set 7-6

Konta was up 5-3, had a couple of set points on Vondrousova's serve, didn't take them. Then served for the set and got broken so currently 5-5
 
Day off today! Hoping Roger gets at least a set off the king of clay:( To be honest didn't expect him to get this far. He should relax, take care of his serve, and go for his shots. No one expects him to beat Rafa, so he may as well enjoy himself.

Looks like light rain starting in this Konta match.. probably will be lots of interruptions with the men's semis.

ITV only showing the Konta match at the moment. She lost the first set but is up a break in the second.
 
Seems like two thrilling women semi finals, sucks that I'm stuck in the library.

Would later love to see old men Federer somehow finally doing it and beating Nadal at FO but I give him no chance. Rapha will destroy him.
Will also be favourite in the final given the schedule situation, I expect Thiem-Djokovic to go some sets and whoever comes through will have played twice in two days and stronger opponents than Nadal.

History just repeated its self, Konta served for the 2nd set and blow it
 
Ouch. Well that was a grim anti-climax after how well Konta played in the quarter finals.
 
What a choke from Konta. She wouldn’t have a better chance to win a slam.
 
Kona just doesn't have the mental strength does she? Broke in both sets and couldn't see it out...
 
Oooh Roger/Rafa time....

Let's hope it's enjoyable irrespective of the expected outcome.

It was a bit sad really, because it really did feel as if as soon as the win was in sight she lost her edge. How she comes back from it is really going to be the big test.
 
A break point for young Rog
 
A good serve from Rafa wipes out the old break point
 
Long game already and it's only the first:lol:

Waiting for that serve was lifetime. A bit haste, young Rafa!

Rafa is never in a hurry:lol:
Has to tuck his hair behind his ears, then fiddle with his back side before he starts serving:D
 
Now the water bottles!:lol: Rafa and his rituals
 
This'll be like 6-1 6-2 6-1. Hulk Rafa stuff of 2008.
 
Feck Roger loses his serve..
 
If Federer keeps coming to the net he’d get passed 9/10 times.

Weather isn’t really helping both men. Ridiculous wind.
 
I think that's 8 matches in a row where Nadal had broken in his first return game.
 
Good play from Roger there
 
These conditions are ruining this match as a spectacle. It's really disappointing as a viewer.
Going to ruin the other SF as well.
 
Nice play at the net from the old man!
