One commentator was making a fuss that because Vinci won, this will be the first women's Grand Slam Final of the open era to feature two players over 30.

What he missed was that Serena's older than Vinci, so whoever won, that would have been the case

Sure he didn't say "two women over 30"? Which would not have been the case if a Williams brother had made it.

Djokovic having a hissy fit 'cuz no one likes him. Perhaps he'd be more popular if he'd stop with the fake back injury cheating ****** tactics.

Are any of the recent top men's players likeable ?

I like Federer, he's arrogant, but he's earned that right as very possibly the best tennis player ever.  Murray's a miserable arse and Nadal is a wan*er though.  Djokovic is a funny one, sometimes he comes across as a decent guy but then he ruins it by acting like a bellend for a while.

I don't even think he's arrogant, focused maybe.  Seems a really nice guy.

yeah, I should've said he comes over as arrogant sometimes, but as I say I think he's earned the right to be sure of himself.

I imagine who wins the tie might come down to the doubles, so they might want to play Murray.

Wins 3rd set 6-3 so we go 1-0 up.

Come on now Dan Evans v Tomic whom Evans beat when he had that great run in the US Open two years ago.

Lets hope he's fired up cos he has to miss us v Baggies tomorrow!!!

Evans battled back to take 3rd 7-6, brilliant performance in last few games of that set.
