Futtocks Posted July 11, 2015 Author Share Posted July 11, 2015 A frankly brilliant match, and Hingis wins her first Wimbledon trophy in 17 years. Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted. Ralph Waldo Emerson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Futtocks Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 As someone who's had a few knee injuries, this is the kind of thing that makes watching Djokovic an uncomfortable experience.

Futtocks Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 The current best player in the world beats (possibly) the greatest player of all time. Great match, right result.

tim2 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 The Mixed Doubles was worth watching to see a masterclass in tennis skills from Martina Hingis (age 34) and Leander Paes (42). Their younger opponents were powerless - it was men/women vs boys/girls in every sense of the word. "I am the avenging angel; I come with wings unfurled, I come with claws extended from halfway round the world. I am the God Almighty, I am the howling wind. I care not for your family; I care not for your kin. I come in search of terror, though terror is my own; I come in search of vengeance for crimes and crimes unknown. I care not for your children, I care not for your wives, I care not for your country, I care not for your lives." - (c) Jim Boyes - "The Avenging Angel" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant skills, but Hingis' win in the Women's Doubles was a better match as a spectacle, as it went the distance.
