Final Four

Wimbledon
Rafael Nadal v. Novak Djokovic
John Isner v. Kevin Anderson
Of Note
Roger Federer was ousted in the QFs in five sets by Kevin Anderson.
The age of the players - wow - Isner (33), Anderson (32), Nadal (32), Djokovic (31).
Historically, not many players over 30 win Grand Slam titles -- although Nadal and Federer have shattered that in recent years.
No U.S. player has won any Grand Slam title since Andy Roddick won the U.S. Open in 2003.
An amazing, ugly drought
Isner is an American.
Make America Great Again!
I like the way Isner is playing and see him beating Anderson in 4 sets.
Sort of a coin flip between Nadal and Djokovic.
Djokovic has found his form.
I'll take Nadal in 5.
Tough call.
Discuss...

I'm gonna try to hit up Citi Open here in DC. I usually go to Sunday qualifying to checkout the hot female players.

Mr. Anderson and Isner going toe-to-toe, 17-17 in fifth set.
If this ends up like the Isner v Mahut match from 2010 Wimbledon (70-68 in the fifth), Nadal & Djokovic might not play the other semifinal until next week.

Anderson appears to be a tough out. Federer had match point on him to put him away in straight sets.

Alright, this is absurd. If the stuffed-shirt cretins who run Wimbledon did this to animals they’d be jailed.
It’s boring to watch, painful to endure and pointless.

Clearly the wrong adjective. I count 42 points.

I wonder why so few neqros participate. Do we have any experts on that.

Anderson wins it 26-24 in the 5th set.
Epic!
The American drought continues.

Not too competitive so far.

Saw about 5 mins of the Men’s doubles final. Some dude won his 17th major doubles title. Sounds real competitive.

It took a long time for someone to eclipse Roy Emerson's 12 grand slam titles.
Pete Sampras did it -- and got up to 14.
Along comes...
Federer - 20
Nadal - 17
Djokovic - 13
Amazing.
