Golden Shower Set at Wimbledon

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/tennis/18658685

Yaroslava Shvedova makes Grand Slam history by winning a 'golden set' against Sara Errani at Wimbledon - taking a set without conceding a point.

The world number 65 won 24 consecutive points in the first set as she defeated French Open runner-up and 10th seed Errani, hitting 14 winners in the process.

Shvedova went on to win the match 6-0, 6-4 to book her place in the fourth round.

The commentators are getting on my nerves keep banging on about how unfair it is that the match will have to stop at 11pm. They don't seem to realise that London Underground/Buses etc won't keep their services running all night just so poor old McEnroe doesn't have to spend a day not sure who is going to win. People have to get home. It's not "health and safety gawn mad", it's just common sense.

Only in England.

And after all that... Murray wins at two minutes past eleven!

I couldn't help hoping that they would force them to leave court at match point just to hear the commentators combust.

Wombles hierarchy now getting criticised for not fixing the court assignments in favour of ol' grumpy pants.

[cdbearsfan]

Quite right. I can't imagine the Americans, Aussies and French would always make their star play last and on the rubbish court.

Today is when the glorious run of Maria Redsox probably comes to an end against third seed Agnieszka Radwanska.



In lesser tennis news, Grumpy Pants is through to the Quarter Finals

Her game is on TV for once as well. And annoyingly she's a screamer.

Maria's doing very well. Shame about the sodding weather.

[UK Redsox]

As predicted, Maria has been knocked out, so that's Wimbledon over for another year

[peter w]

There's a women's semi / Serena Williams joke in here somewhere.
