Apparently Safin can't go much higher than 40 i think...
Even so, 75 to 40 is a pretty big jump!!

Re: Tennis Thread
If anyone has access to Court no.1 on TV - it might be the last chance you get to witness the skills of Maria Kirilenko this Wimbledon. Only Ana Ivanovic tops this girl when it comes to my choice for some ball games.

Can watch it live on the BBC website as well:
Totty Watch
Not bad, wish the girls wouldn't wear hats though.

Re: Tennis Thread
Nadal won 209 and Fed won 204 so it was very close. A great final and possibly one of the best games ever. Found myself cheering on Fed as if it was Murray as well which suprised me!

Re: Tennis Thread
I was gutted that Fed lost - he is Mr Wimbledon, a true gentleman, I loved his cardigan and belt too. Best tennis match I've ever witnessed, it surpassed the Henman/Haarhuis and Henman/Ivanisevic (I was at Centre Court for that one  ) classics for me.
2 very likeable players, possibly the best 2 that has ever lived. Anyone writing Fed off would be a fool, he'll be back.

Some of the play was incredible, and the difference between the two of them was negligible. I think I heard that Federer actually won more points, but that's tennis.
