"The noise that greeted them as they stood up from their courtside chairs is something I will never forget. My first words were, “The two best tennis players on the planet by a country mile.”
10 years later and it's still true.

can you imagine an anniversary rematch...I currently peg the odds at 5%. too optimistic?

0% chance. Nadal won't make it to the second week, as per usual.

Ya sadly every match Nadal plays at Wimbledon is a white knuckler for me because I’ve seen so many early defeats the last couple of years, due to his poor knees. Before his run of early exits, he did manage to make 5 straight finals and win twice losing to Federer when he was at his peak twice and a pretty good player in Djokovic once.
Nadal will be attempting at Wimbledon to win for the 2nd time the Old World Triple (Rome, French Open, Wimbledon). Only 3 players have won in before Laver (62), Borg (78) and Nadal (10).

Novak takes the opening set 6-4
Edit: Also takes the second set easily by a 6-1 score. Dimitrov was pretty terrible, Joker didn't have to do much to be honest as Grigor was spraying the ball all over Queen's Club.

What a shame on paper could have been great.
Fed today saves 2 match points to win against Paire.

Another Felix win, off to the semis. Maybe he will get to six challenger wins before he turns 18.

He said in Lyon last week he's the "anti-Federer". No grass tournaments this year.
He signed up for 2 clay challenger during Wimbledon.

I like this kid. Can you imagine a top NHL prospect choosing to keep himself in the minors to make sure he develops properly, even though he's good enough to play some shifts in the bigs?

Felix's match is insane so far, it's 3-2 on serve in the first, but the match is already 48 minutes long and has seen 13 break points saved and like 20 deuces. Could be the longest set ever at this rate.
