There are four kinds of Homicide: felonious, excusable, justifiable, and praiseworthy.
Ah well. At least it wasn't straight sets.

Ready for Wimbledon.

1: Well done Rafa.

2: Worst crowd.

3: Seriously, this 'tradition' of being the last one to scream something between points is getting worse. Start ejecting people NOW.

Yeah this is basically what's up. If he hits 10, so help us all.

edit: if he wasn't injured and didn't get Soderling'ed in 2009, it could have been 10 straight :wtc:

Well look, when you're busy taking selfies and texting about how awesome the match is in front of you, you gotta yell to pretend you're a big supporter of prolonging the match or something

As a Federer fan, that was the best year ever. I'd feel so bad for Federer if he never won the French Open.

Nadal is crazy. With his constant injuries, some that merely impact his play, others that have him losing ridiculously early in Slams, others that hold him out for months at a time, he should be one of those guys you talk about as a "what could have been..." but he still has managed 14 Slams titles and is only the second man ever to reach the Career Golden Slam in singles.

Nadal seems like a certainty to beat Fed's record at this point, since Fed appears to be more or less washed up due to age. And with him on a 3 straight win streak over Djoker in Slam finals, he shouldn't need 3 or 4 more French Opens to do it.

If it wasn't for del Potro, Nadal would also be the only blemish on Fed's Slam final record, with 6 losses to Rafa (and one to del Potro the bastard) which is an achievement in itself. 6-2 against Fed in Slam finals, with the 2 losses being great matches as well.

It was a problem long before mobile phones and the selfie bullshit.

What can you do about people interrupting? They are not going to get kicked out, so all the fellow spectators can do is hiss at them.
