Mrs Redsox lost in the women's doubles final today. She was looking stunning as usual.

Upset to see Mrs Submariner lose the Women's semi yesterday.

Still, we have a nice little silver plate for the mantelpiece



I would DEFINITELY smash it.

I'm terribly clumsy with plates.

I hope he loses in the final.

Pretty typical of quite a few Brits that viewpoint. 

I think he gets a raw deal personally.  A lot of people still hold a jokey sort of comment he made years ago against him

He may be a bit dull but he's passionate and full of fight.  He's also very good so i'll support him if no one else will.

He usually is, but he looks terrible out there right now. No fire, no fight, just horribly resigned to his fate. It's kind of awful to watch.

He's been shit. If he can't win it when the Celtic and Rangers of tennis have both been knocked out he never will. How's Laura Robson doing these days?

Another henman I'm afraid- lacks the killer instinct of champions and will forever be the bridesmaid- bottler when it really counts!

To be fair he's the number 5 in the world playing the number 3 - it would be an upset if he won.

With the time difference, I used that as an excuse to stay in bed till nearly lunchtime and watch in on TV.
I fully intend doing the same for the final on Sunday, is it an 8.30am start again?

Come on Britains Andy Murray !

Typical. Jock loser.

When I see his Mum, I can't help thinking she kicks the shit out of him in the changing room when he loses, and has done it since he was a child.

If he doesn't win this time it will never happen

I reckon he will Chelt. He's still only 23.

I agree.
If you were a bit off form, who would you rather face?
