Moll. 1,793 Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 If it is supposed to be the greatest outdoor championship tennis then doesn't putting a roof on it then make it indoor, and a totally different game if you like? And another thing whilst i'm on a roll Wouldn't you think they would keep a court back for the finals so it was nice and well kept instead of the baldy back yard they are playing on today?

Far as im aware Wimbledon is the greatest " Grass " tournament not the greatest " outdoor " tournament..... As for the grass itself im no expert on lawn management or groundsmanship........but my guess is they probably know what they are doing as regards how the surface plays rather than what it looks like.

But the service thing really gets me. Now i know you cant get it in everytime but it looks to me like he struggles with a first serve, then his second serve is like a wee girl hitting it... I suppose i'm likeing it to a striker who cant score goals, a darts player who struggles to hit the doubles or a golfer who cant putt. They might all do well but they'll never be the best...

I think in the main they try and power home the first serve and then if it fails they seem to rely on more spin/accuracy on the second........as regards the putting the ball into the corners....even for someone who knows nothing about the sport like me it seems obvious Federer is seriously strong on the forehand and Murrays trying to keep away from it.......think he,d rather force an error on the backhand than face his forehand......notice how Federer seems to run his body round the ball to enable himself to hit it on the forehand sometimes rather than play it backhand.......quite interesting really im enjoying this Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When you watch the real good guys they have there opponent running from side to side just like Federer is doing now. I've watched Murray do it lots now....to lesser opponents he seems to grind them down and make them drop points, with the top players they dont do that so he struggles. He aslo doesn't look half as strong as Federer is either, maybe something he can work on at the gym... But i know f**k all about tennis but he gets on my tits.......

Must be much more complicated than it looks Lab. I often wonder why they seem to volley to each other rather than aim it for the farthest point away from the opposite player.
