    Safin is awful playing on grass. I'd be surprised if Federer doesn't win in straight sets.

    Too early for that. I'm not saying he won't win it but it's not a formality.

    Paying out early will save the bookies money if Federer wins. As long as they get it right most of the time, they make money off paying out early and get free publicity out of it.
    We're not arrogant, we're just better.

    Nadal strolls into semis and Djokovic looks set to face him. Looks like the semis will go by seeding.

    About the BBC commentary, does anyone else find Greg Rusedski the biggest pain in the arse ever?

    Anyone see the men's final yesterday? Absolute brilliant match. Nadal is getting better on grass every year. Also first time Federer had a five set match at Wimbledon since he beat Sampras in the 2001 4th round.

    Brilliant match...making a mockery of women's tennis at the moment. The top two players as top seeds playing quality tennis in a Grand Slam Final over 5 sets.
    The Model Club

    Tell all the Bohs you know
    that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
    and it's not gonna be three
    and it's not gonna be four
    it's more likely to be 5-1.
