Stuff like this actually makes me even more annoyed when I hear shite like "Oh, Murray is so boring, he has no personality".

Apart from the fact the statement is wrong in the first place, he's one of the best ever to play the game, and is one of the nicest guys around, respected by his peers on and off the court. He is an absolute fucking legend.

On a similar note to the above couple of posts, I've lost my tenner bet on Berrettini lifting the trophy on Sunday as Nadal beats him 3-1.

To the surprise of no-one...

Some lad is Rafa. The way he’s playing got to make him favourite for the final and of course he will be favourite for the French too.
Perhaps it will be him that ends up top of the major tree. What a legend.
Berrettini is becoming a bit of a nearly man. Regularly in the business end of slams, but never really looks like he’s going to win one.

Bit of a bottle job by the Greek there..

Medvedev losing it there with the umpire, what a dick he is.

Gone for Berrettini and Tsitsipas to win their semis with Nadal and Medvedev winning at least one set each at 13.4/1.

If you don’t give a coaching violation, how do I say this, you’re a small cat

I went for 7/4 boost on each of the men winning at least a set.
Easy [emoji383]

I’m not even going to bother watching the Tsitsipas Medvedev semi.  Both players 10 feet behind the baseline playing pong until someone makes an error.

Hope Nadal throws Medvedev a few underarm serves to f**k him up.

Looks to be a 0830 UK time start tomorrow for Barty vs Collins in the Women's final.

To be followed by the all-Aussie match of Kokkinakis/Kyrgios vs Ebden/Purcell in the Men's Doubles final which could be a fun watch.

[Left Back]

The Yank utterly choked that set.  Was hoping she’d win to see the collective heads gone from the Aussies tbh.

First Australian in the Women’s Final since Wendy Turnbull in 1980 and the first to win it since Chris O’Neil in 1978. Well done Ash

Evonne Goolagong won it 4 times.

Kokkinakis & Kyrgios take it for a 1st grand slam title each.

Kyrgios if he had screwed the nut a few years ago would probably have won a singles slam title by now.
Might be one of those guys who's good enough to win one but doesn't due to his attitude to committing fully to tennis.

Evonne Goolagong won it 4 times.

Of that she did, my mistake

Final underway. I’ll be supporting Medvedev as I’ve followed him ever since his first career match with Tstisipas (context: https://youtu.be/mDX6K7t-JcE).

However, if Nadal pull it off would surely be the best and most surprising win of his career!
