He's played really well so far. He's lost the arogance that he sometimes has and is concentrating on the match... good luck to him
Edit - 2 sets all! The crowd is behind Murray as much as they used to be behind Tim! I don't think his opponent can believe the crowd support that Murray has.
If Murray pulls this off (and it's early days yet) Nadal will follow... and maybe he'll have to take the crowd on too.
Edit - Murray has won!!! Congratulations to him. It was surley the best moment of his career and his best performance so far. Murray Mania has arrived in Britain!
I do feel slightly sorry fro his opponent who was gracious at the end in defeat. The crowd played a huge part in the match as they used to do with Tim but Murray deserves all the credit in the world...
Nadal vs Murray is so tantalising

Well Federer and Nadal are through. And although they have another match each before the final it's only a matter of time really...
Venus vs Serena too? Makes it all less interesting...
Murray tried but he was too tired and in the end he lost in straight sets. Oh and he just wasn't good enough...

So we have our predictable finals
Nadal vs Federer (I pick Fed)
Serena vs Venus (I pick Venus)
Whose your money on? Figure of speech..
Ha! Semi finals - a woman was trying to take a picture of her and Nadal after the match. He was too tall as she was sitting in the crowd so he took the camera off her and took the picture himself...
I haven't receieved any of my tennis autographs back. Guess the venues don't pass letters onto the tennis stars which is unfair

Good luck! I'd love to watch it live but its expensive and the tickets are hard to get...
So todays final is Serena vs Venus who's your money on?
Edit Venus has beaten her sister in straight sets. Any thought of fixing seems to have vanished with this result. Venus has won Wimbledon 5 times and Serena has won the tournament 2 times...
I only watched the final on and off as I was busy on the net but it seemed like a decent battle today. The mens final is tomorrow

Incredible match - Wimbledon final Nadal vs Federer rain delayed at 2 sets all 2 games all and 40 40 in the third game...
Federer has some bottle because by rights this match should be over by now. Nadal was 2 sets up and hes had 2 match points. I want Federer to win this match! I want to see him get that six time win (beating Borg's record) but it's still anybodies game or match.
I think this might be Fed's last year (if he wins it and that's a big if) as Nadal is just getting better and better...
Federer played Sampras at madison Sq Garden recently and it was a close game. Federer just beat him 2 sets to 1.
This is one of the greatest matches of all time and the crowd are cheering for the underdog...

Congratulations Rafael Nadal It was arguably the greatest tennis match of all time. It could have gone on and on and on...but in the end it came down to just two points (as always)
It was so close and to be honest it could have gone either way. So, the six times record can't be reached now I have to believe on that form that Roger will beat Sampras' record and be crowned the greatest player of all time...
Amazing final
And that's another year over
