I'll be tuning in but will most probably miss the end as we are going out later
I like Roger Federer but I tend to root for the underdog so hope Soderling wins
Disappointed that my favourite Rafa is out this year

Me too. I would liked to have seen a final between him and Roger. Both brilliant players but I do have to say that Robin Soderling has played superbly this year as well.

yup ill be watching. Tennis is what gets me through the month of no football. Unless like last year and next year, there's an international tournament.
Hope Federer wins. Think he deserves it after coming so close to the freak kid from Mallorca in recent years.

I`m afraid I am one of those types who often like the underdog to do well.
But, on this occasion, a win for Federer would be a fantastic achievement, giving him a win in every grand slam and equalling Sampras`s record
Over the years he has given me so much pleasure and has always appeared to have a pleasing and courteous personality.
I feel it would be churlish of me not to be supporting him.
Full of anticipation. Enjoy it Hyacinth.

No Swedish player will ever equal the gorgeous Stefan Edburg IMO.

Great news Scotty.
Oooh, just spotted Andre Agassi in the crowd and I saw Bjorn Borg earlier too.

Hyacinth, Edberg was also my favourite player in the 80s - I used to look forward to his matches with Boris Becker.
Stefan was also a charming, courteous player.
He now coaches, I believe.

Yes, I think he does and I think he still lives in Fulham with his wife. Wish I knew where, I'd stalk him.
Much preferred him over Bjorn Borg who always seemed so aloof and emotionless.
Besides, Stefan Edberg had the best thighs out of all the male players - IMO anyway.
Yes, I agree. His matches against Boris were special. They both deserved a win for their playing skills.
quote:Does he live in Fulham?
I presumed he'd returned to Sweden

I have the bigger TV which has Sky+ whilst hubby just has the smaller one.
If, like what happened the other week with the tennis and it goes over time, I can click the multiscreen button and still view it.
My goodness, Roger is certainly running away with the first set isn't he?

Just what I was thinking and what was the point anyway?
At least both players kept their cool.

Well, he appeared to be carrying a Spanish flag, and seeing as he went for Federer, I'd guess he was a Nadal fan....
No grace.

I hate that orange surface the French have, its so hard on the eyes especially when the sun is beating down. Could they not have it green, a much more soothing colour on the eyes.

Rather OT I know but was just wondering if anyone will be watching the Men's Final at Roland Garros at 2 o'clock today between Roger Federer of Switzerland and Robin Soderling of Sweden?
I like both men but secretly hoping Roger takes the crown!
