Chung pulls the pin. Roger will meet Cilic in the final

Just read this about Roger
"Jerry Bembry writing for ESPN pointed out that of the 1338 matches Federer has played since turning pro in 1998, he has never retired - he has finished every one."

Says a lot about the guy. No surrender, ever. Almost 20 years.

He also has Aura apparently - when she isn't at my place or with the ABs.

And of course he wins it. Doesn't make sense. He's 36 ffs.

How blessed are we to be alive in the era of Federer and Brady..

I only watched the last 3 sets but it was a strange match. Cilic was so dominant in the 4th set but then failed to use that momentum in the 5th set. It helped that Roger started getting his first serves in again.

20 Grand Slams is an amazing achievement and you wouldn't bet against no.21 in July.

I saw that Thor was in the house too.

Would you care if you were 23 and worth over $10 million?

@magpie_in_aus Only recent news I can find on Tomic is him losing to a bunny (Hoang) in three sets in Lille?

@rocky-rockbottom in my mind they just leaned over the net and pashed.

I am everything wrong with the male sports fan...

womens tennis is such a pervfest. Odds on at least one of the 2 is going to be very easy on the eye. Weirdly I find Shartpavlova completely unattractive. And that's even before she starts yelling at me

i think she's fucking hot. In a cold, detached kind of way.

A lot of the Russian female tennis players are easy on the eye. Best to watch the matches on mute though.

I used to love watching the NZ womens comp over Xmas holidays on TV3 in the 00s - there'd always be a bunch of hot ones you don't normally see in the big comps as they go out in the early rounds.

Sick pervert. They only wear those outfits to feel good about themselves.

Don't see in big comps as they had school C exams to finish....

Nah, the hotter they are, the more I like to hear them putting in an effort.

@bovidae try listening to the sound and play the action in your mind with your eyes closed

Chris B.

@rocky-rockbottom Why doesn't he keep something cheap in his kitbag to smash - rather than his tennis racquets? Maybe a Nicholas Cage mask?

Won't lose points for racquet abuse either.

Could be worse - he could be Serena - going down 6-1, 6-0!
