“No just someone who has played tennis” - no - really Whale.? Tell me your joshing me. You know nearly every person in Australia would have “played tennis” don’t you ? So probably about 15 million as qualified as you. 😂

Well done Macca. Your a bookies nightmare

Federer is going to have the same problem as Williams - X 10 - the ball will keep coming back. There is nobody in the the history of tennis as good at getting the ball back as Djokovic.

Dylan Alcott is a dead set 

Back on topic please

Am expecting Djoker to win. Happens so often that Fed plays super in quarters and semis leading people to speculate that he has a good chance. Meets Djokovic in the final and always falls short , has had Federer's measure for a number of years.

Horlicks is for the most part tops imo.

This is not a hard court or a clay court. The surface significantly improved Federers chances due to the extra speed thus nullifying some of Djokers ability to get the ball back. Djoker was average for a large part of the semi. RBA shouldn’t be troubling him at all, yet he took a set off him. In that match his forehand looked clearly his worse side. Look for Federer to target that and obviously he will be able to attack more than the previous opponent could. These matches have generally been competitive, even at Djokers best and particularly on grass. That’s why Fed can win and it’s unlikely to be a cakewalk in any event.

I can tell where I am putting the ball in the ball toss and I'm ranked 7,526,779,191 in the world. yeah but after you throw it up you are meant to hit it in court, not just admire your ball toss

   The obvious problem Williams was going to have was Haleps ability to rally endlessly.    
   As mentioned Williams was out of Oxygen early , after a bad start & as the game progressed , She was distressed , as her lack of endurance was put to the test.
She won't ever beat Halep again ...   The best of the Ladies by far, For quite a period if her Wimbledon win is any indication.

Geez Doc, of all the things you could take-away from that epic 5 hour thriller, potting women's sport wasn't even on my list.  

Doesn't matter - just googled the result. That young gun Federer should get a few more chances before he hangs up the racket !
