The Tennis Thread (Part 22)
Baltacha has made the Nottingham final which is good. Hopefully she's getting some match practice in so will be ready for Wimbledon.
Agree about Donna Vekic. I still can't believe she is only 16! I'm guessing it will be her first WTA title if she wins tomorrow? A really strong prospect. Not to hype her up too much, but I wouldn't want to be near her in the Wimbly draw. She could be dangerous for some players if they aren't use to the grass.
Petkovic got a WC into Wimbledon didn't she? Would be nice to have a good run there

Jo was serving better early on...especially the slice serve out wide on the deuce court. Muzza was living on the edge at 3-3 in the second set, fended off a BP by reading Jo's pass and making the pressure volley. Turning point of the match.
Final on at 12 today.
Tamira Paszek won the Slovenian Open in 2006. She was 15 years, 9 months and 18 days old at the time, the 7th youngest in tour history.
Are they playing at 12 or 1 because BBC coverage doesn't start until 12.20?
Says 12.15 on the website. I think it's earlier because of dodgy weather forecast.
Hopefully they'll have the start of the match on the red button.
Hope this link works. This is showing BBC2 next Sunday 7pm.
Yay it did. Not bad for a technophobe.
A really good new development.
I think him and a few other comedians are also taking part in the charity match....if the rain ever stops!
In Australia, they would probably do the same for Hewitt.
There weren't that many spectators watching on No. 1 court anyway. If people wanted to see Hewitts match that badly they could have easily got into to that court.
In Basel, they would do the same for Federer. Likewise for Nadal in Madrid. No shame in that.
Tricky situation yesterday as the rain was neverending and they only had a small window to get both semis done. Ideally once they'd clocked the weather forecast they wouldn't have even started the Rusty-Cilic match on Centre and just moved it to C1 from the off, but eh.
The Man Behind the Racquet: 10:25, BBC 1 next Sunday.
They're out on court now...Muzza senses more rain is imminent. Head groundsman looks like Antony Worrall Thompson and I've seen him too often this week
Ump is Cedric Mourier.
