Wimbledon SPOILER

[malaise]

First set 5-5 - Venus had break points but Muguruga fought hard to even things

[USALiberal]

1. Rooting for her! And Fed tomorrow! :-)

[malaise]

3. Damn

Mururuga breaks nd will serve for the set

[USALiberal]

4. I need to turn it on. Thanks for the heads up!! n/t

[TDale313]

2. Would like to see Venus win.

And really rooting for Roger tomorrow.

[heather blossom]

5. On pins and needles

Hope she breaks back

[malaise]

6. I really want Venus to win but she does not have a good record in finals

after losing the 1st set,
Venus should have broken her earlier.

[Cracklin Charlie]

8. Venus could walk on court, and hit every ball in the net...

And she would still be MY hero.

Go, Venus!

[malaise]

11. She not going to win today

but to make two finals this year at her age is enough for me

[heather blossom]

7. Yeah

Most of those finals losses were to her sister.

[malaise]

9. Indeed

Go Venus

[heather blossom]

10. Got to hold here

Or it's pretty much over

[malaise]

12. This one is over

Spanish tennis is really good these days

I don't want a bagel.

[heather blossom]

13. Me either

Hope Venus can rally and get a couple of games here. She had a great run and is a great champion.

[malaise]

14. Sadly it ends with a bagel

[heather blossom]

15. On to the US Open

Hope she can win there.

[malaise]

16. You know just reaching the final is enough for me

She is 37 and better than most of the youngsters.

As you say on to the Open.

[a kennedy]

17. That bagel was very hard to swallow......

[malaise]

18. Yep but give Garbine Muguruza her due

because Venus had chances to break her in the 1st set.
That bagel was painful,

[MuseRider]

19. Love Venus

but I also really really like Muguruza. Still, I wish this was for Venus. Muguruza seems to be a good woman for tennis. Still....

Venus has overcome so much, including her sister, and yet at 37 years old here she is. Amazing.

On to the Fed Express tomorrow. That one will upset me a lot of he loses. I will be here wearing my RF hat and hoping for the best.

[malaise]

20. It won't be as easy as we think

Cilic has beaten him before
Cilic has a great serve
and like Venus, the Fed is getting on in age.
I think The Fed will either win it in three or lose

[MuseRider]

21. I am afraid you are right.

Cilic has been playing HARD tennis. He wants it as badly as Fed, maybe more. He is an excellent player, Fed will have to not let himself get into that funk he gets into sometimes. He pulled out of it last match but Cilic will not give him a chance to recover. I worried about Raonic (who I do not care for at all) and Berdych not so much but also a good player. At this point I am beginning to shift into the frame of mind that is just happy to see him out there playing and being happy himself doing it. If his body remains the incredible machine it is and he keeps taking care of himself as he has there is no telling how long he will play because it just makes him happy. I am good with that. Oh so good with that.
