    no, but if lisicki wins tomorrow it will definitely legitimize her upset of serena. i hope she pulls it off, i like her game.

    Djokovic Del Potro semi was insane. It had people crowded around the TV at work each time there was a tie breaker or close game. Shame he couldn't pull off the upset.

    Murray took advantage of his opponents youth. Still not sure he's playing strong enough to upset the Serb but what a chance at his second title. The crowd will be immense.

    Bartoli up a set and break. This looks to be all but a formality. Career-defining win for her, excellent.

    Hate it for Lisicki- she's crying and it isn't even over, yet. She'll be back.

    check this nonsense out from the lower levels. Bogomolov is a disgrace to the tour.

    Pathetic. And he was the top seed, great tournament representation.

    Interesting to see some familiar names in that draw, Donald Young and Sock in particular.

    Bradley Klahn was the 2010 NCAA singles champ at Stanford. He has top 100 potential, could get there soon. Lot's of college guys in that draw, Somdev Devvarman former two-time singles champ at Virginia, Steve Johnson 2011 and 2012 singles champ from at Southern Cal. I've seen all of them in person before, college tennis being my particular niche and I've been fortunate to travel with the Clemson team for 3 years,

    edit, college guys in that draw:

    Eric Quigley, Kentucky. (runner up to Steve Johnson in 2012)
    Evan King, Michigan
    Jason Jung, Michigan
    Tennys Sandgren, Tennessee
    Jeff Dadamo, Florida/Texas A&M
    Brad Klahn, Stanford
    Jarmere Jenkins, Virginia
    Kevin King, Georgia Tech
    Austin Krajicek, Texas A&M
    Somdev Devvarman, Virginia
    Sekou Bangoura, Florida
    Saketh Myneni, Alabama
    Dennis Nevolo, Illinois
    Michael Venus, LSU
    Steve Johnson, Southern Cal

    Bryan Brothers win Wimbledon. They are currently holding all 4 slams and the Olympic gold.

    So poor from Djokovic.

    Murray being handed the trophy basically.

    Excellent win. Not the best final on either side, but a memorable tournament, surely.

    happy for andy. he's clearly right there with novak now. unfortunately, as great as they both are, watching them play each other isn't really that interesting.

    So happy he won. Djokovic's speech was very magnanimous, fair play to him. But the better man won on the day.

    It's good Andy finally won, it will take pressure off him in future and could help him win more.
    Djokovic seemed to not be at his best, but Murray played very well and had answers to some of the best stuff Novak could throw at him.

    Probably the most hyped up the crowd has been since People's Monday in 2001 (discounting the gold medal match between Federer and Murray).

    Lovely sportsmanship on display in Cincinatti. Have not heard of this idiot, but apparently he was good enough to be seeded.
