Haha…just realised the tournament hasn’t finished & the Men’s final is tomorrow…and even as a tennis fan I’ll probably not watch it.

Djokovic could win 6-0 6-0 6-0 blindfolded and with one leg tied up and it still wouldn't compare with that final

I have a 16 year of daughter, she's in the top 50 women badminton players in the country. trying to use this as inspiration rather than "why did you not play tennis" debate I know that'll get brought up.

I used to knock about with Lauren Smith's dad when I was younger and the wife used to play badminton with her mam, oddly enough.

The wife has always said she could never play tennis, totally different grip on the racquet.

I hope your daughter succedes in her dreams :)

Have Liverpool claimed her yet?

Haha. Was just thinking that

A rise of 127 places in the rankings on monday, up to 23rd.

Now that Federer has pretty much gone the Woman’s game is probably more enjoyable to watch than the Men’s.

I’ve not even followed the men’s but assume Djokovic is in the final against somebody.

Some being very harsh on fernandes. She’s a kid ffs. This place is full of miserable, boring cunts. (Me included usually :))

I thought she was class, the 9/11 anniversary mentioned too without being prompted. There’s always people look for the negatives in life.

What a brilliant achievement.

So lovely to see a humble girl achieve so much.

Hope she has a long and great career.

thanks @bluealf it's great watching her develop, but more important enjoy competing

I think I saw the fee from Channel 4 to Amazon will go to the LTA to fund junior tennis

Great gesture from both deserves credit. If channel 4 becomes privatised, we don't get to watch that.
