Re:
Murray was injured. Not making an excuse for him, because Querrey played well, served well as he got into the match, but Murray just wasn't his normal self. One wouldn't have faulted him had he retired in the fourth set.

Cilic vs Querrey semifinal. Cilic is favored to go through to the final, but Querrey is a dangerous player with that serve. It's something of a comeback for power tennis. Cilic, Mueller, Querrey, Berdych, Williams, Muguruza, Konta, Ostapenko, Vandeweghe...all getting far in the tournament. Wouldn't it be something if serve and volley came back?? LOL. I kid....but seriously though....

Hey guys! How's my man Milos--aka The Maple Leaf Missile--doing?!
Oh, wait. Never mind.
He's getting played like a fiddle. Good lord, man. I'm beginning to think he'll never learn how to expand his game.
It's becoming embarrassing to see him backpedaling like crazy just to hit a forehand into Federer's wheelhouse.

Re: Re:
Yeah I know, which is why I said he was holding it together rather than improving. That set he was attempting to hold back the flood for as long as possible, but he couldn't do it for any longer. Querrey played well though.BullsFan22 said:
I've never seen him play that well, plain and simple. And I've seen him in what was considered his prime.

Tennis is turning into Basketball. Especially grass court.
In the 4th round of the mens singles every player was already over 6 foot and you had giants like Zverev (196) Paire (196) and Anderson (203) who lost.
In the quarter final 6 of 8 players were above 190 cm. Murray (191). Mueller (193) and Raonic (196) lost.
Only Djokovic (188) and Federer (185) were smaller.
The smallest of the lot is also clearly the best, but it seems Fed is closing out an old different generation. In the semis today all 3 other players were at least 11 cm taller than him. His opponent Berdych is 196. Querrey who lost is 197 and his opponent on Sunday Cillic is 198.
Fed is like Allen Iverson 17 years ago, when as the best player in the league, he was dwarfed by all his rivals.

Re:
She lost two set points and proceeded to lose the following nine games. And get bagelled in the final of Wimbledon.Red Rick said:
LOL. Williams has a set point at 4-5 in the first, then proceeds to capitulate the match. It's like a total unknown teenager that made it to her first slam final and simply choked, no experience, no plan B or C....
Muguruza only has 4 titles to her name. 2 of those are slams. WOW.
Unreal turnaround since Roland Garros.

Lol. Muguruza's last tournament before Wimbledon was Eastborne, where she lost the first round 60 61
The goat will kill cilic or we will see a 2014 cilic in god mode? Wimbledon is federer's home so I expect 3-1 to federer
Ace, unreturnable serve, unreturnable serve, unreturnable serve. Servebot Federer with an easy hold in the first game of the second set.
2007
Nadal won the French open dropping 1 set (to Federer)
Federer won Wimbledon dropping 1 set (to Nadal)
2017 Nadal wins French open dropping 0 sets
Federer a few games away from winning Wimbledon dropping 0 sets

Re:
Well, it's Cilic that's losing rather than Federer winning. Cilic is having a number of issues it seems like. Physical, psychological, tactics....and it's all related.
