Have you ever seen skies darken and quaked at the distant rumble of thunder. Bless her she never lost her cool but the message was loud and clear. Serena rules!

OTOH, Nadal's muscles impressed the hell out of me. (Troglodyte - excellent.)

You too could be a tennis Mom just like, er... Mammy Murray? Murray and Nadal are roughly the same age, by the way. This year's Federer vs Nadal final (don't see it turning out any other way) should be vintage given the way Nadal rubbished Federer in the French Open final. Williams vs Williams also looks likely, but the Chinese woman might give Serena a surprise. Sam, get the girls rackets right away, how do you think the Williams sisters got to where they are today?

Murray really used the crow to psyche himself up, didn't he? He seemed to be a wildman out there for the roaring and fist-pumping. Tinman, mad. He is way too muscley adn it just makes him look bullish and stomping on the court, not quick with his footwork like Federer who seems to be more agile and classic tennis athletey. Federer's more fun to watch. But i'm not a huge fan of over-muscled men, anyway. Too much muscle and it smacks of vanity and it's not attractive when men pay that much attention to their appearance.

Maybe next year. Jo, I have two 6-year-olds so this is the first year in ages that I've been able to pay it any sustained attention. It's great. They're big enough now to just say "Shhh, mummy's watching Wimblin" they watch it for a bit, get fed up with it and then run off to play. Most of it's on here at night anyway, when they're asleep, which suits me just dandy. Bock, he did.He had to miss out last year because of injury but the quarters are the furthest he's got and he gives us all a thrill to see one of our own out there. Sniffle, he has a wee brother who's his image only with redder hair. Just 20. He was still in the doubles the last time I looked. Jamie Murray I think it was. Or something like it. You'll be none too pleased to hear <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.smh.com.au/news/tennis/anna-kournikovas-a-bitch-and-i-despise-her/2008/06/30/1214677885118.html">this troglodyte</a> on Anna and other female players. Vincent, ha! Yep, I bet that'll happen. Bock, hark at you with your funny Russian writing accent! Manuel – he’s got the fire in the belly though – you can feel it. Maybe next year.

The girl I work with worships Nadal's muscles. Do you all agree or is she just mad? S&C, if Murray doesn’t shave till he wins Wimbledon I’m afraid he’ll trip over his beard & kill himself.

Heroic stuff. But I can't be doing with the noise of that Sharapova one, not to mention playing dressed up as a waiter (no offence Manuel). That quarter-final aside I've really enjoyed Murray this year and look forward to more of him, but what I enjoy the most is the crowd going "wooooooooooooo....." to greet the Hawkeye replay. I reckon tennis on the road would have been so much more fun when we were kids if somebody had been appointed as Hawkeye (somebody with a funny hat ideally) and then when we disputed things such as the ball being hit high enough to clear an imaginery net, we would turn to Hawkeye and go "woooooooooooo....." for him or her to deliver their verdict.
