After his Wimbledon points from of at the end of the tournament Murray will be world number 831, and British 22.

So the youngest quarter finalist in the men's at The Wimbledon is 27. By that age Borg had retired.

And even with Federer going out, all the semi finalists are over 30, not sure when that last happened in a slam.

Odd that given the top ten seeds being knocked out that the women's semifinalists didn't feel shocks.

So Kerber Vs Williams - both finals will be contested with players over 30.

The Isner Anderson match has a combined height of the players of 13'6'

What a match! Huge determination but I think that underlines that some form of restriction on a final set makes sense.

Yes it must make the winner of the match, in this case, Anderson so tired for the final. They have in effect played the equivalent of 2 long matches. Perhaps they should allow the final set up to a pre-determined level, say 10 all, and then move to tie break. Although Nadal and Djokovic are looking as if they are going to go some distance too!

Yes, I think some sort of extended 5th set makes sense but Anderson has now played 74 games in the last sets of his last 2 matches.

Zverev triumphs in the battle of new stars beating De Minaur, but elsewhere the 30 year olds triumph with Buzarnescu, Kuznetsova and Fognini.

Tsitsipas follows up win over Djokovic by defeating Zverev. Big week for him.

Nearly Sane · « **Reply #96 on:** August 12, 2018, 11:16:04 AM »

And into the final for Tsitsipas - great series of wins to get beating 4 too ten ranked players.

Interesting match up in Women's final with rerun of French Open final.

Wins for Halep and Nadal, onto Cincinnati

Nearly Sane · « **Reply #98 on:** August 19, 2018, 11:08:18 AM »

So Cincinnati gives us the 46th meeting of Djokovic v Federer as the old guard roadshow continues.

Halep returns in the women's final, consolidating her No 1 status, this time against the improving Bertens.

Nearly Sane · « **Reply #99 on:** August 20, 2018, 01:21:45 AM »

And a win for Djokovic making him the first since the ATP Masters 1000 series was set up to win all 9.

Big win for Bertens in the WTA tournament.
