I can see how if you're not a fan then its not interesting to always see that match-up. But its a huge moment for tennis to see if Borg's open-era record of five straight titles from 1976-80 will be beaten. Or if someone would win the FO and Wimby together.

I for one hope to see a 6th straight title and a 13th GS.

Weather forecast for Wimbledon for Sunday: heavy rain.

Where's that roof, again?

Yeah, it will be, I can tell you that. And then Fed will set his own record next year with a 7th title. Moving on.

Yahoo, as most other sites I've checked, say light rain. Not that it really matters. Rain it's going to do. I hope not when the match is supposed to start. *prays*

Well today`s matches in the men`s semifinals went as expected. Marat and Rainer both put up good efforts, but once again Fed and Rafa proved to be tough. Now we`ll get to see those two meet up in the finals yet again. Personally i`m excited about it and can`t wait to see it. Hopefully we`ll get another pretty good match like last year.

I know that we never talk about mixed doubles here, but we`re going to see a very interesting matchup in the finals, which will have the Bryan Brothers playing against each other. Bob will be teaming with Samatha Stosur, while Mike will be teaming with Katerina Srebotnik. I hope that this match will be shown on TV, because i want to see Bob and Mike playing against each other.

BTW am i the only one who`s surprised that it took until the end of the second set for Marat to throw his racket down?

I think he threw his racket early in the first set... anyway, I remember him getting angry in the first set somehow. But he was pretty cool today, considering NOTHING went his way forehand wise.

I'm rooting for Bob Bryan, 'cause he beat Andy Ram and Natalie Dechi and Andy is a former Wimbledon champion in mixed doubles

I don't care about the doubles one bit. Yawnz.

I'm kind of excited for the Williams sisters' match tomorrow though; I love power tennis, always have and those two do that amazingly.

I actually enjoyed the mixed doubles final last year more than any of the other finals lol.

I shan't be watching the womens final, i dont care for either of the williams sisters. I hope it rains sunday since i'm in work sunday till 4:15 and i haven't missed a mens final since i was 10. I need it to be delayed until i get home.

Thanks for the new thread.

I could seriously care less about the women's final match between the Williams' sisters. Don't like either one of them at all.

Nadal/Roger should be a good match on Sunday.

I really don't mind an all Williams final. I just hope the tennis is good
And I kinda want dramaqueen Serena to win

BTW I'm a big fan of doubles. They're always fun to watch, especially when you're courtside.

I'm really glad of the Fed/Nadal match on Sunday. They have produced some wonderful tennis this tournament and watching them go head to head is alwaysa joy to watch imo Both men are very down to earth which is a good quality to have. I'm actually not sure who I want to win. I love Fed, I think he's an amazing tennis player and enjoy watching his matches but Nadal I think possibly deserves the title more because he's improved so much.

I am looking forward to the Williams match actually as I can't deny that both have played great tennis. I'd like Venus to win because I think she is possibly the better player but also because I've never really cared for Serena.

I'm very scared for tomorrow, because he has a chance. Last two years I didn't believe he could take it, and now I do, kind of. I think he believes it too. We'll see; I feel uncertain, hopeful and excited at the same time.

The rain is going to cause troublet though.
