Another year goes without a man born in the 90s winning a Slam, by this time 10 years ago 7 people had won born in the 80s totalling 17 titles in all.
Pliskova has a chance to Make it the third woman after Petra and Garbine, this time 10 years ago 6 women born in the 80s totalling an amazing 21 titles. My obsession for another year over too, sorry for boring you all. If a man born in the 1990's has still not won one by 2025 it would be extraordinary. |

Surely by 2020 a man born in rhe 1990's will win a grand slam singles titles.

Kerber's not winning the Olympics when fave makes me doubt her a bit, some people prefer being underdogs, so I'd just give the edge to Pliskobot. Hope it's a goods match mainly like the Birmingham or Stanford final.
Don't care much about the mens after sitting through that appalling Nole-Gael match, I probably favour Stan. |

Same for me on both counts. Kerber should win I feel. But I don't know enough about Pliskova to judge whether she will be nervous, or if she is pulling a Garbine at the FO. I just hope for a good final as this tournament has been a complete dud for me in every way. If Novak wins the title that will just be the icing on the cake.

Jamie and Bruno really have looked supreme this tournament, complement each other so well.

I've seen a lot of Pliskova, she is what she is, incredible serve and an amazing forehand when it's on, she's not hugely mobile, and you'd think Angie should exploit that, but the H2H is close and of course Karolina crushed her in Cincy.

So potentially a really good final, unless they repeat the Cinci final. I hope not, I hope that Kerber was nervous about getting the number 1/tired. Not that it would have changed the outcome, but Kerbs could have made more of an impact.

Yes!!!! Well done boys. 2 slam titles now for Jamie. He's catching up with little bro quick. I wonder which bro will win the most slams in their careers.

Jamie has as many GS titles as his bro now.
Anyone for tennis forgetting his mixed title. |

That was funny when Jamie had a dig at Andy for winning one more slam title than him in the same year.

A topless 3rd set.
That would definitely send ratings through the roof if Ana was playing Monica.

I liked the idea of Bruno pegging his shirts out to dry round the chairs - he has a nice sense of humour.

Congratulations to Jamie, always had to live in the shadow of his brother but now arguably one of the greatest doubles players of his generation and beginning to rack up the slams.

I had other stuff to do today and ended up forgetting Jamie & Bruno were playing
My son had made me feel guilty all day because I'd needed his help so he was forced to miss the Old Firm match but now it's time for me to guilt trip him ![]() Two GS titles in the same year for Jamie & Bruno!!! I'm glad to see them win it after kind of getting sick of Herbert/Mahut winning loads. I sometimes think that Bruno lets Jamie down with quite a few shots but he does end up getting more than his share of the crucial ones. |

Finding this match difficult to call. Kerber is the favourite and should win, but she's lost two big finals recently that she should have won, so far more pressure on her. All in all I'll go for Kerber in three sets... but who knows.
