Watching on BBC2 - i prefer the women's tennis

Its more about the game and less about smash the ball once to win

OH NO - Champ point!!!

Looks like i've missed a good semi and finals

No let up from Azarenka and it's Game, Set and Match.

Azarenka wins by 2 sets to 1.

Still got the men's final to come tomorrow Saint!

YAY

Did he say " ... and quite possibly buggered" ???

Possibly, but I wandered off, so am not sure.

Thanks for the updates Fluffy, I prefer watching the men's game but was wondering how this final would turn out. I can't watch Azarenka, she's so noisy!

Hubby and I are the same. We think she sounds like a very loud owl, and "hoots" with every shot.

I tend to prefer the men's tennis myself. Wasn't even sure if I could watch today's match - but I seem to have managed!
