Bloody hell, I am not a tennis fan but that was exceptional as a sporting contest to watch.

What a fantastic last game man, some of those saved match points from Rafa. Big fan of both, but pleased for Roger. Roll on Sunday.

Great seeing two of the best of all time at the same time, it's Messi v Ronaldo without the rest of the team, the standard is unbelievable.

Early odds are Djokovic 4/9, Federer 7/4.
The last person to win the Men's singles who wasn't one of the top 3 1/2 of Federer, Djokovic, Nadal & Murray was Leyton Hewitt in 2002!
You'd have thought someone would have broken through in all that time, just show what a grip they've had on the game for a generation, and how significant Murray's efforts really were in context.

Quite tempted by Federer. If it goes out to 2/1 then I might put a fair bit on. Probsvly more likely to come in if anything.

It's crazy and it's not that much different across the 3 other slams either, bar one or two surprise winners here and there, and judging by the level on display just there and some of the meek performances from some of the younger generation in the early rounds here, it doesn't look like changing anytime soon.
So it'll either be Fed on 21 or Novak 16, that's significant. Fed 6 ahead and Novak will have work to do to catch him, but just 4 and they could be level by the 2020 versions of Wimbledon or the US Open. Really hope it's 21.

Made the same point to my wife earlier.
All of those are in their early, mid even late 30's now.
Not a single other player in the Mens game has come close to them in 10 years.
There aren't even experienced players in there late 20's now who are close and it's a veteran class still sweeping up.
