Wimbledon 2017

Had a small dab on Tsonga and cilic before the tournament given they were in the murray (injured) and Nadal half (poor grass form)

Can't look past Federer though. Cilic bottled it pretty badly last year and Federer was crocked.

Cilic has been hitting the ball very well but where is he going to get breaks of serve from? The fact he's a big server should at least make each set competitive though. To be honest if murray somehow got through querrey and cilic, Roger would concede only a handful of games given the state andy is in

well my 25/1 has become a reality. Happy times. Go Cillic

Are TG4 still showing Wimbledon ? Just realised it might be my only chance to see the final today

Nope. Only on BBC this year. Thought they might show the second week, but no. PITA when I spend a lot of my time in saorview-land (thankfully not today though!)

When did TG4 stop showing it does anyone remember?

They lost the contract in 2015.

So after 128 years this is Willie Renshaw's last day as record Wimbledon champion - I hope!

Pity TG4 lost the rights. I enjoyed their daily highlights shows!

Watched the wheelchair doubles earlier. Something else!!

Early days, but Fed will need to be close to his best today..

This is terrible from Cilic. Fed is playing well, but is being helped by Cilic misfiring.

Jesus cilic looks in bad shape.

walshb

I think Cilic is done.. looks emotionally broken..

RosyLily

Oh no! Cilic in tears. Doc and physio out.

Royale with Cheese

Fed has reduced him to tears.

walshb

I think it's over...

Looks like Cilic is injured. Match a non-event. Federer goes to 19 GS Titles. Big motivation now to get to 20.

I literally just turned it off. Cilic had looked beaten

Itssoeasy

He's going to give it a go but he looks gone.

Had he been injured coming into the tournament ?

Unless he's taking a leaf from Djkovic's playbook and feigning an injury only then to come back twice as strong.

(unlikely)

Don't think so. Pre-match the commentators were saying that it's the first time in about 7 years that Marin has had an injury-free year. Probably jinxed him now!

walshb

Gamesmanship worked?

dominatinMC

Would be an unfortunate, but fitting, end to this Wimbledon if he retired in the final. Worst GS in a long time, blighted by injuries! Still, a 35 year old Fed is last man standing

Itssoeasy

Well cilic is looking better.

Man if Nadal hadn't been mulllered we could have had a proper final.

looks like he's mentally gone more than physically.

The trainer didnt even touch him so unlikely to be an injury.
Could be food poisoning perhaps but more likely nerves .

This is actually difficult to watch. He's melting down in front of us. So similar to yesterday.
