Now Serena is out

Oh come on Serena.

I hope Sloane or Li Na win on the women's side now.

Djokovic is a level above anyone else left on the men's side right now.

God Serena is so damn frustrating. People think I'm a hater because I have to continually point out how badly she falls short of what GOAT women have done in the past, but I was pulling for her here specifically because I'd like to just be able to agree with people. If Serena does get to 22 some day she'll be in in that conversation and the way she'd been playing it seemed like you could taste it, and the boom, she once again blows it and I'm back to being a hater because I feel compelled to point out that that's a problem.

Would be so exciting if Sloane took it.

Please do not let Bartoli win this, she is the worst.

I'm not all that sold on Sloane having a huge upside. Think she has more Wozniacki/Jankovic/etc. than Serena in her game. Still not that there'd be anything wrong with a long top 10/top 5/soft #1 career for Sloane if that's where this goes

Come on Andy.

No Federer or Nadal but still two really interesting semifinals. Can't wait for Friday.

Jerzy Janowicz! :clap:

His first semis of a GS, and the first Polish man to do it. Great sportsmanship between him and countryman Kubot after the match.

So I've been 100% pulling for Murray when this surprise pops up. Didn't expect my countryman to make it here (sorry, Jerzy) but now I'm very conflicted. Not just because he's Polish, but his is a great story. Mac said something about only 18 months ago he couldn't afford to go to Australian Open Q rounds, lived in his car for a time to get to tourneys, etc. You could tell he takes nothing for granted and it meant so much to him (the post-match interview was a bit creepy but let's chalk that up to shock).

He actually defeated Murray last year in a Masters tourney, so it's not like he won't know what he's facing. They both have the pressure of their respective countries and history in the making is waiting. Who will rise to meet it?

Such great, unpredictable drama at Wimbledon this year. Many disappointments so far, but Jerzy and Murray winning despite the odds to meet in the semis is emotional and thrilling. Can't wait for the semis!

Awesome third set. Happy for Lisicki.

I'm really hoping at least one of the two underdogs in the men's semis manages to win. Would be great to see someone break up the big 4 and win a slam. Like both guys but have always rooted for DelPo. Sadly his health is iffy and Nole is playing amazing right now.

Can't believe Lisicki hasn't had more success before this, what a great mix of offensive and defensive talent

Does anyone else thinks it sucks a coach isnt allowed to coach during a match? Im not looking for delays or anything but why not a few words between sets?

Turk Nowitzki · Post #56 » by **Turk Nowitzki** » Fri Jul 5, 2013 2:22 pm

DelPo can win this if he can hold up physically.

Turk Nowitzki · Post #57 » by **Turk Nowitzki** » Fri Jul 5, 2013 3:01 pm

Big letdown in that 3rd set tiebreak for DelPo after an amazing set of tennis.

This is incredible.

THAT WAS EPIC!

GREAT match!

And did I just see Edberg in the stands? If so, he's looking good! Loved him when he played.

GO DEL POTRO!
