Nadal battered by Del Potro 6-2 6-2 6-2. :blink:

In the womens event: glad to see the Belgian Clijsters hand out back to back defeats to the Williams brothers.

She is in the 800m womens runners group as well though isn't she?

No mate, that's the other svelte athlete, Caster Semenya.

Probably, although Djokovic is giving him a good first set here.

True, the first set is normally evenly contested between the top players, I still fancy Fedrer to take the first set in the Tie Break and win the match.

Shame Murray blew it, this was one he could have won. Nadal still taking time to get back from that injury, and Fed not 100% at the moment.

Clijsters has shown how stagnant the women's game is. Out for a couple of years then strolls to a Grand Slam final, beating both Williams sisters on the way. She'll be back in the top ten in no time.

Spot on that.

Let's hope Del Potro beats him in the final. I cant stand Federer.

Agreed. Murray seems to be the only one capable of beating Federer but he never seems to do it when it matters like last years final. I thought this was his opportunity then again I said that at Wimbledon.

It's been [Poor language removed] since Henin stopped playing.

I reckon Sue Barker could still give some of them a game!:blink:

Fixed your post.

Yeah, that was the joke. And Henin's backhand was pure grace - best in the world, including the mens.

The final has only just started and Federer is already 3.0 up, somethings never change.

Did anyone watch the women's final, quite controvosial,I think it was a bad call by the line Judge but she completely lost it.

You mean Serena Williams in the semi final? - I've never seen a match lost on a penalty point like that. She'll get a huge fine as well. Pleased Clijsters won the title though, womens game needs a kick.
