Oops double fault by Federer with new balls and Berdych breaks back

 

balls... literally

 

why didn't he do that last time hmm

 

First set to Feds, too many mistakes from Berdych

 

Federer won in 3 sets as predicted but it was relatively tight.

Final is really interesting, first set winner wins imo

 

Berdych played well but he was up against, well, Federer. Federer bang in form and fit. He's just got places to go that other players don't

I'm gonna say Feds in 3 again in the final actually. He took apart Raonic in 3 in the QF who beat him in 5 last year. Cilic is playing very well, but so was Berdych. They will be close sets but Federer will go to that special place. Cilic was playing as well as this last year and it took Fed 5 to win but he was carrying an injury, not moving well, and his tennis wasn't as consistently excellent as it is now

 

How will cilic handle the big day?

If Federer can do what he did to berdych which is to win 80% off his own first serve then imo that's where Federer wins it. Retains his serve and gets the ball back over the net on cilic's.

Should be fun to watch and must see as probably (but not definitely) any of us will see him lift the wimbledon trophy or be in final prob.

 

bit nippy out on centre today

 

Very tight final so far, not much in it at all

 

But Muguruza gets the first break for 6-5 and will now serve for the set

 

Muguruza serve been a bit dodgy so can she hold her nerve

 

Yes, she can! ... first set to Muguruza

But she's not making it easy ... get yer first serve in!

Some great rallies here

 

3-0 Muguruza now, double break up ... hers to lose

Williams has the face of a woman who knows she in the ****

Muguruza looks super confident

 

4-0 now

Centre court looks absolutely ruined, really horrible condition

So does Venus tbh

 

She's absolutely hammered Williams today.

It's not even close to being a contest now

 

Another break

5-0 now

 

nah it's done bruv

shots from Williams that were winners against Konta and others before her are coming back, with something on them, and she's having to go 2, 3, 4 more shots deep into the rallies and still not winning most of them

 

that's if she even gets in the rally now, which she isn't
