I know, you're right. I really shouldn't waste my energy interacting with some of the morons on this thread. It's hard to believe sometimes that people can be this socially inept.

It's hard to ignore, I have to sit on my hands sometimes around Wimbledon to stop myself getting involved with some posters.

It's the way they attack others so viciously with nasty personal remarks then act like they are the victims. It defies belief. They are twisted individuals who need help. No wonder the world is so screwed up these days with people like this living in it.

Im not irrational so please don't bring me into a discussion being had on Murray please. I donthave irrational hatred of Murray and I've never posted anything to back that up. Just because I dont particularly like him doesn't mean its irrational. I have no idea why you thought to being me into this when I haven't posted about Murray in ages. I'm not the only non Murray fan on here btw.

Anyway that Rafa story is interesting. I understand if he felt the need to have a transplant as he's only 30 and his hair has been a staple of his fan base over the years. Of course he isn't my fave because of his good looks although I can acknowledge a handsome guy which he is.

It is fun sometimes though to 'poke the bear'!
Btw, was there anything said after last night's match as to why Kei played so poorly? An injury or exhaustion? I know Djok is improving this week, but i am sure if Kei had played Andy in the same manner as last night, it wouldn't have lasted 3hrs 20 min. Or was he just overwhelmed?

Well I didn't say I was always successful did I?

Kei is made of glass, so an injury is never out of the question, but i'm inclined to think it was Kei being the worst version of himself and folding like a pack of cards. So annoying.

Andy's looked pretty tired this week - wasn't zipping about against Raonic *quite* the way he usually does. I think he's done well to get to the final, Milos could/should have probably won the match yesterday. Andy only crawled over the line down to sheer willpower.

So yes, I'd say it's unlikely to expect him to beat Novak tonight. The one thing he has going for him is Novak isn't in tiptop form, despite his freshness. So if Andy somehow finds enough in the tank to take it to Novak, then who knows.

Put it this way, I'd be hugely impressed if he manages to win.

Yes this is my view too. Unlikely but hugely deserved and impressive if he does, but certainly no shame if he doesn't.

I'm at the 02! If any eagle-eyed tennis thread users notice someone in a red jumper with good hair in the crowd, that's me!

Just settled in for dubs final

A tired Andy vs a not on best form Novak? Could go either way IMO, I'm not brave enough to make a prediction, hope it will be as exciting as the Raonic/Murray match yesterday: )

Re Rafa he should just do what Agassi did and shave it all off, he is good looking enough to carry off pretty much any look

I'm feeling that Djokovic is the favourite going into the match. It's hard to be sure, because of his patchy form in recent months. He appears to be back playing well, and will be the much fresher player, but I still think that he's not been truly challenged, and if Murray is fresh enough to put up a decent fight, we might find that his level isn't that great after all.

In theory, playing Kei is a better practice for playing Murray than Raonic is for playing Djokovic. Even if Kei was sub-standard, the style of play and the preparation for that match will be similar. Murray will need a whole different set of tactics to play Djokovic.

On the other hand, Murray's got that match winning mentality honed, so if he's been able to recover from yesterday and if the match is fairly even, this could be his advantage. The court speed being a bit faster than normal should also benefit Murray.

Firstly, have a great time.

Secondly, I just love you described yourself as someone with good hair, I don't know why, but it made me smile and also think of Beyonce!

Yes.

And if he doesn't he'll get Aus. Either way he'll get the number 1.

If Novak wins he will be 100points ahead of Andy. Take off DC and it will be about 400[i think] Novak has 2,000 points to defend at Aus Open so all to play for next year.

Why is he certain to get Aus?? Its over 2 months away, Djokovic might be back in form and if he does he would be favourite.
