Harsh, Serena's at least the better-looking of the sisters. In more important news, great to see Marray, not only a Brit but a Yorkshire lad, win a doubles title!

He's a Scouser actually, but based out of Sheffield these days.

The final was a great game of mens doubles.

Poor Murray. He played so well up until 4-4 in the second set and Federer just flicked it best game on like a light switch. No shame in losing to someone as good as Federer was today. Keep playing like that and he will win a slam one day.

Murray played alright 'til they shut the roof.

Bloody Scot.

Fair to say Murray was ousted by a classy Federer. Lost so many points by just simply not getting the ball over the net and playing predictable passes. Am not suprised Murray didnt make it champion, maybe he will come back stronger for the experience, I know Rafael Nadal went out this year, but in my opinion overall, Murray lacks the quality of Nadal/Federer

So! what do we do for the next 20 days fellas!?!

Marine not got any friendlies for 20 days? Or are you on holiday again!?

Back to being Scottish now, Federer's as good as there's ever been.

We have mate, 8 I believe starting on 16/7. Working a lot of overtime during the next 3 weeks Cc, so I can have 3 weeks holiday 6 - 27th August, so unfortunately I will miss the start of the season. But with me and my OH, 6 kids/1 partner & 1 girlfriend and 2 grandkids I opt for the easy life these days, take'em all away, a lot easier than staying at home in the wind and the rain.

:wink:
