Federer out, Tsonga out :eek:
Yeah, bit of a shock seeing Federer go.
Murray v Djokovic, then.
Whoa - Serena Williams knocked out, by the German Sabine Lisicki ... :eek:
So who will be the next surprise?
Andy Murray struggling against this russian. Broken in the 2nd set. :cry:Quote:

You're right, women are majorly overpaid compared to the men for such a weak lack of work effort they need to put in.Quote:

Either it should be best of 5 sets for women or the prize money should reflect the difference. Unfortunately the pay is identically the same for men and women despite the requirements not being the same, that's sexist.
The first Set of Five for the Men's Final has taken the same time as the ENTIRE Women's Best of 3 Final. Shows why equalising pay without equalising the Sets to play was such a ridiculous decision.
Although to be fair, this year's women's final was unusually short, due to Lisicki's self-destruct.
I agree that equalising the cash prize does seem to be a strange decision though.
Serving for the match.
COME OOONNN!
Aaaaand 3 straight sets.
What superb tennis.
He's become quite the star.
:)
Straight sets. Well done Murray!
I didn't realise until now that Andy Murray was a pupil in Dunblane Primary School at the time of the Dunblane Massacre (the UK's only to my knowledge school shooting that left 18 dead). It is nice to see Dunblane put on the map for something much more positive :up:
