Lost in the shuffle...Nestor is in the mix doubled final with Mladenovic. It's their second straight Grand Slam final. Kudos!

That was pretty lopsided. Bartoli just broke Lisicki's spirit at every turn.

The women have no variety in their game. All ball-bashers. Once the ball-bashing doesn't work, there is no Plan B. A mens match flows back and forth more as players change strategies.

Janowicz plays like Roanic should.

Janowicz plays a bit too crazy. Raonic is still the better and more consistent player, especially on hardcourt which makes up half the season. Raonic has 4 titles and has made 7 finals. Jerzy has played in one final ever, that magical run in the Paris Masters last year.

But between that run and this Wimbledon run, Jerzy pretty much did nothing.

I like both players but Milos despite this suckassness lately is still ranked 15. He has this entire hardcourt summer to get his game back. It'll be fun to track both players careers.

As much as these are obviously the two best players in the world, its just nowhere near as good to watch as Federer-Nadal matches. Djokovic-Murray matches are just brutal endurance tests whereas Fed-Nadal matches are more about extraordinary shotmaking. I mean that was a 6-4 set that took an hour.

True, definitely not the final I was looking for, but that was just a crazy volley!

If Novak can pull this off it might be the greatest comeback ever. I expect the crowd to be incredibly hostile towards him going forward.

Novak looks pretty much out of it. Not playing aggressive enough.

Wasn't expecting Murray to blow an easy drop shot.
