Match of the tournament.

Novak is a freak of nature. He looked about as winded after that match as I would if I ran down the block for 20 seconds.

Uggggghh rough loss for DelPo.

Still, 5 sets is better than I expected.

Nailed it

Nadal literally broke Djokovic's heart today. Djokovic was trying to keep his promise to his deceased coach/surrogate grandmother, but Nadal would have none of it. It was the biggest body-blow I've ever seen one man give another man on a tennis court. Don't expect much from Djokovic at Wimbledon. This one cuts deep.

Like I said at the end of french open, Djokovic is a beast! I haven't even felt this good about a tennis player even in the peak Sampras, Federer days. It will be a travesty if he doesn't win 10 majors.

Well congrats to Novak and Andy for getting into the finals. Del Potro was valiant and stretched ND, but still came up a bit short. Too bad Del Potro has been so hampered by injuries. Fun player to watch when he's healthy and on his game. And while I'm disappointed Jerzy didn't advance, it's still a huge success for him personally and for his nation.

I really hope Andy pulls through in the final. It's going to be epic.

Not looking good for Lisicki.

Booooo Bartoli, Booooooooo!!!!!

She did play a good tournament though, took advantage of the opportunity presented by a wide open draw.

Oh, he is dominating really well right now. His semi streak is in Fed territory and his QF streak is impressive as well. His problem is that he started later than the other guys so I don't see him reaching too high. Guess we'll see though..
I remember a few years ago I'd be frustrated with him because he was clearly good enough to be winning slams yet be would not be performing anywhere near what he was capable of.

A couple years ago he was the 2nd match to Fed and half the people left so I managed to go right down to the first row heh. Was pretty awesome.

Djokovic in some trouble. Down a set and down a late break in the second.

Make that serious trouble, down two sets and an early break in the third...And back on serve.

**** Djokovic might have dug a hole too deep for even him to get out of here.

Though if he somehow came back to win in 5, it might be the biggest choke job in wimbledon history (mostly because of Murray being from great britain).

ANDY! His energy is back.

Now he's going to serve for the match. Great game just now.

Post #74 » by **5DOM** » Sun Jul 7, 2013 4:18 pm

Wow... surely he won't **** this up..

That was an insane 3rd set and that last game was spectacular. Great win Murray and for the UK fans.

MikeIsGood · Post #76 » by **MikeIsGood** » Sun Jul 7, 2013 4:27 pm

YES! Good for Andy!

Turk Nowitzki · Post #77 » by **Turk Nowitzki** » Sun Jul 7, 2013 4:29 pm

That last game nearly gave me a heart attack. Can't imagine how the British fans felt.

Anyone else not getting any picture on their ESPN feed? I had to switch over to Sportscenter to watch the end of the match and now I can only hear sound from the trophy presentation.

If there's any consolation for Djokovic losing to Murray right now, it's to be on that court in front of that crowd right now.

That last game, triple match point, then down a couple of breaks, then wins it on 4th match point. Amazing.

ANDY MURRAY - 2013 WIMBLEDON CHAMPION!!! :clap:

Gerard Butler looks like he's going to cry lol

Novak very gracious in this interview :clap:

It's endearing how Andy's hugging the trophy. He looks relieved more than anything at the moment. He's a great interview, too: Genuine, witty.

A great moment for Andy, his family, his team - Lendl is in tears and smiling, amazing - and his country.
