[Nostradamus]

jack Sock will Save the doubles from Tennis and will be elected to hall of fame

Any doubles enthusiasts watching this? Is it normal for the Bryan's to look so non threatening on the return? Is it more the quality of serving by Pospisil and Sock?

Yup !! They already defeated #2 Peya/Soares and #5 Paes/Stepanek on the way ! Sock is playing mostly from baseline on his serve and Pospisil doing great at volleys.

Pospisil and Sock are doing much better than I expected.

Brayns return much better. but Sock and popsil has Best serves in tennis today. Sock serves at 140-145 mph. and popsil around 140 mph also.

The young guns break in the 3rd after 1 set all.

 

[Vensai]

What a great way to break for the underdogs. Commentator said it was "Nadal-like" even.

Pathetic so far from the Bryan's but a collapse from sock is expected soon.

Its on the BBC if you have access?

 

[Rock Strongo]

Great Championships for Canada of all countries!

 

[romeo8880]

The decline of the Bryan's has been pretty clear lately though. They are still the beat but not nearly as good as they were a few years ago.

 

[llodra_fan]

WOW !! Brian bros cheating ? :O Mike switching with bob for the return position !!

 

[llodra_fan]

Pospisil is killing it today with the volleys !! I guess Nestor has taught him well. He should seriously consider being a true S&V player since he already has a big Serve.

 

[llodra_fan]

They did it !!! What a lovely performance !!

 

[DarlesChickens]

That was an awesome finish. Well done boys!!

 

[Vensai]

Awesome! The Bryans were upset by worthy opponents.

It was on ESPN2 online. Don't worry, you didn't miss much.

It was pretty simple and straight forward. Not like singles trophy presentations.

Wrong. He was a huge factor in the win.

 

[Nostradamus]

who is this Chan girl in Mixed doubles, she is HOT

BBC repeating the trophy ceremony we watched 15 mins ago rather than showing the mixed doubles match :roll:

A fantastic Wimbledon ends with Djokovic defeating Federer in 5! Djokovic finally gets back on the winners podium after so many disappointing Slam final losses, while Federer proves he's still got it by making the final and pushing the #1 player in the world to 5 sets. Additionally, we finally saw the young players we've been starving for break through. Queen's Club champion Dimitrov defeated defending Wimbledon champ Murray en route to a 5 set epic with Djokovic in the semifinals, while Raonic also got to the semifinals. We also saw an even younger Nick Kyrgios upset Nadal and get to his first Slam QF.

All in all, great tournament. Tennis wins, as they say. Now, grass is done. On to the North American hard court season!
