Yeah I'll record it too. It happens in the middle of the night for me anyway. In the morning I will start go watch it until Ferrer falls behind then I will fast forward big chunks of it unless Ferrer is winning.

Not at all. The semifinal was amazing. A great match that will be talked about. But if the final is a predictable 6-2, 6-4, 6-1 (or similar) then it's hardly going to be gripping is t?
I'm bored just thinking about this match. Zero excitement. Zero anticipation. Two bland players grinding it out for three hours. *Yawn* I will not be watching.

Go watch Kamke vs Brands at a crappy challenger then if you want quick strike, high error tennis.

1. He did get an operation.
2. What he did was allowed by his doctors, and they do play tennis when it is their job.
3. He is obviously more of a warrior than you

Predicting 3, 4, 3
Yea hes a warrior who for some reason needed 7 months off then came back and went to 9 straight finals. Yea his knees must be a mess. God you guys will swallow anything. HE DOES NOT HAVE BAD KNEEEEEES. He has pain so bad that he needs to take 7 months off then plays 9 tournaments in 4 months and gets to the final in all of them. This is ridiculous.

My favorite player hasn't been in a slam final in 8 years. I won't watch because if I wanted to watch baseline rallies with a predictable outcome I'd watch Serena vs. Sharapova. Oh wait, I didn't

Please. 90% of you will watch it beginning to end, or beginning until Nadal's victory is irrevocable.
And of course, 95% of you watched every single one of the Federer/Roddick finals without the slighest complaint, despite the inevitability of the result and an even more lopsided head to head.

Have absolutely no interest in it whatsoever, the only worse final, marginally, would've been BP vs Bird Bytche, even MORE of a foregone conclusion.

At least both players attacked, this final will be 98% behind the baseline. The other 2% is when they are doing the coin toss and shaking hands
When Borg played, there was no net play.

You can't attack behind the baseline?

This would occur on any surface, and when Borg played there was net play (not as much as Wimbledon) and variety not just baseline top spin shots for days

Did you also stop watching Federer when he was blowing someone off the court ?

I am a Nadal fan.
If Ferrerr wins I will actually be really happy, I don't see anyone that wouldn't be.
I still think Nadal deserves the win, and should win. He is the best player at this point , and is yet again is in the final no matter what his rank is....but same goes for Ferrer.

I did, Sampras and Agassi too... Its bad enough being in the states that they throw every American star rerun on for rain, or cover them through the entire tourney. Real fans want to see what is lacking in tennis namely variety and style. I always enjoy having a few favorites do well, but it would be a travesty if thats all you are ever fed. To never see Andre Pavel, Andrew Illy, Gustafson, Larson, Clavet, Portas, Draper etc. would be unthinkable. The problem is mainstream media only worried about masses and promoting nationality. Thats not going to inspire new talent. No one wants to play like ARod, Fisch, Querry, and those that do turn into the Youngs, Harrisons and Socks of the world, no real future.

I changed my mind. I'll watch it. I mean, I watched the crappy womens final so I have no reason not to.

I don't need to see that false victorious hurl to the ground. I'll keep en eye on the score but I'm not going to watch start to finish.

Hahahaha. I watched it too. And I don't like either one of them, but since I don't like Shriekapova more, i rooted for my fellow countryman or woman, whatever :twisted:

Sharapova won 8 games in 2 sets and actually threatened.
Ferrer won 8 games in 3 sets and was never close. What a terrible player he is. Such a travesty that he even made the final.
