Sammy Stosur through to the French Open Semi-Finals at Roland Garros. Her favourite surface, and looks the goods again there, this year. Playing confidently with a good kick serve troubling her opponents.

Not Sam's day but she will be back . Stosur is getting into contention more and more these days . A semi final in a Grand Slam tournament is quite an achievement . Her last 4 years have been excellent and let's hope Sam has a few more good years left .

We get a terrific match-up for the Mens Final . Djokovic/Nadal - should be a beauty and maybe a long night - thank goodness the Queen decided to have another birthday !

As for tonights final - Maria Sharapova vs Sara Errani of Italy from 11pm tonight . Ch9 are only covering the highlights at 2.24am ! It's on Foxtel for those who have it . Same goes for the Mens Final - 1.20am Monday morning for the highlights only - live on Foxtel from 11pm .

Rafa picked up the 1st set 6 - 4 and leads 2 - 1 with a break in the 2nd set . Early doors but Nadal looks so at home on this surface .

Novak can't be counted out but he won't want to fall 2 sets down .

 

2nd set to Nadal . Rafa now leads 6 - 4 , 6 - 3 . Serving 1st in the 3rd set .

Edit - Novak takes the 3rd set 6 - 2 .

We could be here quite some time ! Djokovic has lifted .

Constant drizzle caused the match to be postponed until today .

Match resumes at 9pm tonight (EST) with Rafa leading Novak 6-4 , 6-3 , 2-6 , 1-2 . Should be a fascinating finish .

In the last set and a bit last night , Djokovic was over-powering Nadal . Rafa seemed non-plussed .

Edit :- The match swung towards Nadal in the 4th set and Rafa wins in 4 . Topsy/turvy encounter . Thats 7 French titles now for Nadal . Fair effort !

How was Nalbandian's tantrum effort ? What a goose. Caused a leg injury to a linesman.

Yep , a definite brain fade .

Wimbledon starts tomorrow night . Only 2 weeks between Grand Slams this year . Though I reckon Djokovic should win , I'm hoping for a Nadal/Federer final (Roger and Novak are in the same half of the draw) . Andy Murray will probably make the semi's . Tomas Berdych may surprise again and the American , John Isner can be dangerous on grass .

In the ladies , Sam Stosur will hopefully keep up her good form . Wouldn't it be great to have another Aussie winner ? Otherwise , the ladies winner will probably come from Maria Sharapovo , Venus , Serena , Victoria Azarenka or last years winner Petra Kvitova .

Sam is 1st up tonight on court 3 (8.30pm EST) against Carla Suarez Navarro . For those with cable , Fox3 are live from 8.30pm .

Through to the 2nd round I heard early this morning. C'mon Sammy.


Tomas Berdych may surprise again and the American , John Isner can be dangerous on grass .

Both out in the 1st round - I can sure pick 'em :wacko:

Through to the 2nd round I heard early this morning. C'mon Sammy.

Yep , Sam won well . Bernard Tomic and Lleyton Hewitt both play tonight . Big ask for Lleyton against Tsonga and don't know much about Tomic's opponent , David Goffin of Belgium .

A method for an Ozzie to get through to the second round of a tennis Major(other than Sammy S)

1. Play another Australian

2. Hope for an injury and walkover.

Sammy Stosur is Australia's Luke Skywalker.

Our only hope.

Rafa out ! Well that's a shock , loses to World no.100 Lukas Rosol of the Czech Republic . Opens the door for Andy Murray now , who defeated Ivo Karlovic in 4 sets to advance to the 3rd round .

Federer through after being 2 sets down . However , Roger won the 5th set comfortably 6-1 against a cramping opponent (Julien Benneteau)

The Mens competition gets more interesting from here on in , with tonights match-ups including Ferrer (7) vs Roddick (30) , Baghdatis vs Murray (4) and Nishikori (19) vs Del Potro (9)

Probably the best Ladies match-up tonight is Serena Williams (6) vs Jie Zheng (25) . This game is 1st up on Centre court .


Mens Quarter finals on tonight and you'd expect Federer (3) to defeat Youzhny (26) , Djokovic (1) to beat Mayer (31) and Tsonga (5) to take care of Kohlschreiber (27) .

The interesting match-up is David Ferrer (7) against Andy Murray (4) . This game is 2nd up on Centre court after the Federer/Youzhny match . The winner of the Ferrer/Murray match will most likely play Tsonga in the Semi-finals . Roger and Novak are in the same half of the draw so are most likely to meet in the other semi-final .

Edited by Macca

Roger , Novak , Andy and Jo-Wilfried all through to the Semi-Finals (to be played Friday)

Tonight's Ladies Semi-Finals are Angelique Kerber (8) vs Agnieszka Radwanska (3) followed by Serena Williams (6) vs Victoria Azarenka (2) . 1st match on centre court starts at 10pm .

Between the Tennis and the Tour my sleeping patterns have been thrown into total disarray !

This Federer / Djokovic match is a beauty . Hope we go to 5 !

This Federer / Djokovic match is a beauty . Hope we go to 5 !

Federer wins in 4 after putting on a Master class in the last 2 sets . Roger completely over-powered Novak . No easy task .

Wow ! Just Wow !

Edited by Macca

wow federer that was simply unbelievable. what a match, really enjoyed this wimbledon


Well done to Serena , Agnieszka was brave and won the 2nd set and hopefully she'll be back to fight another day .

That's 5 Wimbledon singles titles each to the Williams Sisters . A mighty effort .

Edited by Macca

One set all . We could be in for a long night !

Federer makes it seven Wimbledon titles.

Mighty effort; class player.

The Queen looks into ways to deport Federer from the UK after defeating Murray.

Ha ha ! Roger just far too good . He's just an absolute class act . Long may his career continue .

Be interesting to see where Andy's career goes to now . He needs a slam and I hope he breaks through sometime soon .

I like the idea of a 'Big 4' .

It's a funny thing when the media talk of the "Big 4" given that Fed has 17 now, Rafa 11, Djoker 5 and Murray......

He is still a class above the rest of the field but if he doesn't get one soon then he may well become that dreaded "best never".

Unfortunately for Andy cold hard reality is that he has landed in one of the most amazing eras of men's tennis and while Federer and Nadal have been going hammer and tong for years now, we

were all waiting to see who was going to step up to their amazing level and enter the battles, Djokovic has done that (his 2011 was astonishing) leaving Murray behind in a kind of limbo.

I would have loved to see him win this Wimbledon and the 11th game of the second set is where it all started to go wrong for him.

Congrats to Fed though, on that green stage he really is the king.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
