I'm originally from Toronto, but have been living in Munich for 10+ years.  I made the trip from Munich to Paris.

The only thing I know about Wimbledon is the middle weekend, where fans line up for a ticket.  But I'll be damned if I line up for tickets on the day of.  It was just easier to get French Open tickets (online).

Peace

^ Ha, I thought you live in London!

Been to the Nurburgring Nordschleife?

Anyway... not about Roland Garros? IDGAF

What channel are the semis on tomorrow morning?? Can't find it anywhere

 

[Sinner]

I don't live in the States, but I think NBC is showing the 1st SF live on TV (NadFer) and streaming online live for the 2nd (DjoFed)

 

[gunna get it]

7am - 11 AM on tennis Channel

11 Am on NBC state side...

 

[Sinner]

Rafa was merciless on Ferrer today... 2, 2 & 1. Looked SO sharp.

 

[srvballer]

missed the rafa match but looks like I didn't miss anything but another Rafa beatdown

now time to watch Fed-Djok online. Let's pull this upset Roger

 

[Sinner]

Nole takes a 2-sets to love lead!

That was such a strange, strange 2nd set... break after break after break... WTA stuff right there. Several errors from Fed in that last game too.

 

[gunna get it]

Fed HAD that set in his hands...

 

[eiddyfouw]

Federer's made some very interesting decisions today... 

 

[da doc03]

Fed got handled

 

[Sinner]

6-4, 7-5, 6-3 for Nole!

Lots of errors from Fed... and while it wasn't epic-play from Nole, it was economical. He'll need all the fuel he can save for Rafa.

Despite reaching the SF's for Fed, it was a pretty poor display over the 2 weeks. Lots of errors in his earlier rounds when he lost sets he normally wouldn't have. Got a bit lucky when Delpo's knee acted-up IMO.

Anyway, in terms of quality-of-tennis, you want to see a Rafa/Nole final.

 

[srvballer]

once he blew the 2nd set it was a wrap.

I will be thoroughly shocked if Rafa doesn't win this on Sunday

Man Fed gave it away in set 2.

im going the other way, I would be shocked if Djoka doesnt win.

 

[Sinner]

Yeah that 2nd set was so key. When was the last time you saw Fed up 2 breaks and still lose the set? Too many errors and as long as guys are able to continuously attack his backhand, he'll be in trouble. 

Hilarious point as Rafa drop-shot'd Ferrer on his %+@, and still won the point.

Props to Errani who won the ladies doubles title!

Honorable-mention for Maria... just cuz.

 

[tsamshox]

If Rafa doesn't win this sunday.....IT'S OVER FOR HIM, and it hurts me to say that.

 

[Sinner]

She's done it!!! Roland Garros Champion! Career Grand Slam!

 

[shogun]

I was rooting for Sara to win 

.
Sometimes I forget Maria is the highest earning women's athlete.  It's the first time she's won a major in 4 years but she gets a ton of endorsements.

 

[Sinner]

She's very marketable, obviously, but you can't forget she had shoulder surgery in 08 (I think it was), so rehabilitation and mechanical changes took time.  Still had a solid 11 (RG - semis & Wimbledon - finals) and made the finals in AUS 12 too.
