It's still will be the return of the Mack 4eva Joined: 1 February 2011 Posts: 53,781 User: 12,915	An all-Swiss semi-final with Federer taking on Wawrinka. Should be a cracking match.

Lucic-Baroni will play Serena in the semis as she reaches her first Grand Slam semi-final since Wimbledon in 1999. Dimitrov through to semis in straight sets and will play either Nadal/Raonic.

Looking more into it though it just highlights the lack of quality young players coming through the sport, particularly in the men's side! Haven't been able to watch any of this yet but I'll definitely be watching both finals, would absolutely love Federer to win. Everytime he's reached the final of a Slam in recent years I've felt this might be his last time but he just keeps going!

I got a funny feeling he could retire this year. I'm glad I've been proved wrong with him retiring last year. QUOTE Somehow I think Federer had his best chance his final Wimbledon title last year in that classic final with Djokovic. I'm glad I've been proved wrong by Federer as well.

Fantastic to see her break the Open era record. I'm really rooting for both Federer & Nadal tomorrow but I would especially love R-Fed to win it.

Another 5 set epic between him and Nadal. Wow!. Roger Federer is simply the best still. Federer and Serena Williams. It will be a long time before we see the likes of them again. Both tennis legends.

Hello? Joined: 8 March 2006 Posts: 83,051 User: 116	Unbelievable...! First in five years, I guess most of the legends are still winning grand slam titles into their mid 30s so it makes sense. This post has been edited by gooddelta: 29th January 2017, 12:44 PM

A special win for Roger that, makes you think how much more is left in the tank but why not win a few more! Nadal right back at the top too, surely the favourite for the French Open.

something you consider rare Joined: 25 February 2007 Posts: 57,223 User: 2,990	That final set was jaw dropping tennis. Both gave so much, some of those rallies were just exceptional. So thrilled for Federer! Such an utter gent.

Say that hiss with your chest, and... Joined: 24 May 2016 Posts: 18,470 User: 23,308	Yes well done to Federer, what a great match, Nadal was great too (nice to see them both back to reaching finals again) and yes Nadal has a great chance for the French Open.

It's still will be the return of the Mack 4eva Joined: 1 February 2011 Posts: 53,781 User: 12,915	Did anyone see Great Britain's deciding Davis Cup match against Canada where Shapovalov was defaulted from hitting the tennis ball in frustration and hitting the umpire in the eye during his match against Kyle Edmund. I think this is the first time that has happened in Davis Cup history.

BuzzJack Platinum Member Joined: 3 January 2017 Posts: 10,160 User: 23,961	Yes,I was watching. He hit the ball quite hard towards the stand and unluckily it the umpire straight in the eye. The umpire wasn't looking at him so he had no time to duck. The player was immediately remorseful but obviously had to be defaulted. Umpire taken to hospital. I hope there is no permanent damage.
