The biggest win of Evans' career. He's finally put his days of slacking behind him and is reaping the rewards that come with that, if he keeps this up there's a chance he can break into the top 20 as he reaches the peak years of his career and who knows, maybe a few ATP titles too. He deserves it.
Murray business as usual, still a hell of a long way to go and some tough matches to come in the latter stages but he is the favourite and it would be lovely if he were to head into The French Open with eyes on completing the career golden slam! I genuinely believe he deserves to bow out not as one of the greats, or one of the greatest in British history, but one of the greatest in tennis history. If he can achieve the career golden (big if I know) or even finish with 6 or 7 slams then, combined with his Davis cup medals and unique retention of olympic gold then he will do just that in my eyes.

Federer vs Nadal final sunday morning. Looking forward to this one, 2 of the all time greats. It's an awesome consolation for Murray getting knocked out. This will most likely be the last Federer Nadal GS final so savour it. It's remarkable to be honest and a sign of why they are both such legends, it's alright spanking everyone in the peak of your career but Nadal has struggled with injuries and form for a few years now and I didn't think he could get to another final other than The French. Federer though is even more phenomenal. Out injured for the second half of last year, I'm pretty sure if he had gone out in the 1/4s after some tough matches and without his injury flaring up he would've been quite content but to reach another final, at 35 and a half years old....just wow. It will be a great final I'm sure! And as Roddick pointed out, it's the biggest of all their slam finals because a win for Nadal gives him a chance of reaching (or even overtaking!) Federer's overall GS record whereas victory for Federer will surely cement his legacy as the GOAT. I can't bloody wait!! |
