Despite mentioning all the equipment you'd need...as if describing Alien technology to a 70 year old woman in a nursing home in Neasden, he completely neglected to mention the glasses....So either they truly are at the forefront of glasses-less 3D technology, or there'll be a lot of thoroughly baffled 70 year old women in Neasden tomorrow morning.

And then they had a party about it.

On a serious note do the ball boys and girls get paid for what they do or are they told it's some sort of honour and privilege to do it?
Don't get paid, it's voluntary.
I blame the parents
Aargh. Consecutive errors on returns on the Murray 2nd serve. Nadal will serve for it. Come on!
Nadal is some player.
Well done
Well done
Bloody hell Nadal's ruthless.
Well done Rafa. Too good.
Well played by Nadal a worthy winner and it should make for a cracking final on Sunday.
Too good. Sunday will be a cracker. 
Well he might have lost his #1 Ranking but Nadal's into his 5th Consecutive Wimbledon final.
He's played Wimbledon 6 times and reached 5 finals and he's played the French Open 7 times and reached the final on 6 occasions. He love these two tournaments
Hopefully he can beat Djokovic for once this season now!

5th straight final for the clay court specialist.
specialists don't exist with how the courts are now....since the french has been sped up and grass slowed down incredibly. Murray making the semis at clay competitions quite easily is proof of this.

It isn't his 5th in a row final though he missed 2008 Wimbledon wasn't it due to an injury i think from memory. But 5 finals in the time he has been at Wimbledon is some record.
Embarrassingly the BBC interviewer asking Nadal more about Murray than himself. 
Feckin' hell, the interview with Nadal is basically them asking him to say Andy's better, or something.
Nadals played wimbledon 7 times.
Amazing isn't it. So many people were convinced he couldn't transfer his game from clay to grass, then it was the hard courts they reckoned that he couldn't handle. Hell of a player.
I guess it's the tennis equivalent of, "he won't do it it on a wet Wednesday in Stoke."
If they can't get the simple sound working, I'm really worried about that 3D thing...
Only Muller and Fed have ever beaten him right? Fed twice in finals and once Muller so that's 6 times. He missed the French as well as Wimby in 2004.
Ok i was wrong it was 2009 Nadal missed Wimbledon and not 2008 but still a great record at Wimbledon.
The only reason Nadal is great on grass is because it's slow.
Same way he only won in Australia and at New York because I guess those were made slow too.
He won the epic in 2008!
He missed out in 2009 with tendonitis in his knees. He's played 6 times in London
Srichaphan 3rd round 2003, there ya go. Google/Wiki are always your friend.

Agassi managed it when it was fast.
the tennis equivalent would be, he couldn't do it on pre-2001 grass.
they've changed to composition from 70/30 rye/fescue to 100 rye.
makes it most definitely slower and ball sits up more, invariably leading to less drastic characteristics from clay and hard court.
Well then the courts have been slow for the last decade so I guess Fed winning 6 at Wimbledon suddenly becomes a lesser accomplishment because the courts are slower now?

I corrected myself a few posts later as went and checked to be sure
nadal v. murray :: barca v. utd
People go on and on about the grass being slower than it was but Nadal is probably the best volleyer there is in mens tennis right now so I think he would have done decently on the faster grass as well.
Nadal's style of play is suited to grass and clay but not so much on the hard courts where it puts a lot more pressure on his knees. He has a very average record at both the HC Slams but hopefully that'll improve.

They've not been slow for a decade.
True true. Was the youngest person to make it to the 3rd Round at Wimbledon since Bjorg at the age of 17 years
Good way of describing it alright.
Nadal is on a different planet altogether, he put on a fantastic display of tennis after losing the 1st set. A joy to watch.
Andy Murray on Nadal's foot injury: "Rafa doesn't feign injuries, everyone dealing with something at this stage of season. He's played maximum amount since clay season started"
Maybe Murray's not all that bad.
