the crowd was celebrating because Janowicz made a DF, that was so rude

First set, Bartoli 61..

Lisicki's nerves are so evident, and she's about to cry in the middle of the first set. Her win against S was not a fluke because she backed it up against #4. Her first serve goes straight into the net, and that is the complete opposite against S. She better pull it together because Bartoli is pouncing on everything!

[ChitHappens]

Bartoli ain't playing! Up a double break in the 2nd.. Lisicki done cried 3 times already

[ChitHappens]

Lisicki showing signs of life. Bartoli blew 3 Championship points on Lisicki's serve and then failed to serve it out. Lisicki held and now Bartoli gets to serve it out again.

Championship point again!

Bartoli wins!

Men's Championship:

Murray takes first set ( )!

Dkojer has very few winners, but he has been known to start slow on quite a few occasions. I fully anticipate the beast in set 2!

[ChitHappens]

Ugh

[I Am A Swede]

Yes! Finally a British winner of the men's singles title at Wimbledon, after 77 years of waiting.

[Soapsuds]

Novak played like S H I T

Andy didnt play that well...at the end he was choking..but Novak still stunk it up....grrrr...makes me want to stop watching tennis

I cant stand Murray or his shitty family.....or that stupid GF of his

The Brits...ugh...yelling the ball out when it is cleary in during points.....

And John McEnroe ...ugh....really

ESPN still kissing Murray's ass nice and good....disgusting [!@#$%^&*]!

100% I agree

Wimbledon is my least favourite grand slam since today

Murray better not win the US open next month

77 YEARS! Not only did Andy accomplish something this huge, he did it beating in true fashsion - beating the best player in the world (in straight sets too!) To have a nation, a kingdom, all that pressure on you can be very daunting but he was able to pull through. Damn Lisicki! I could've won $77 if she had won. LOL

Rankings including Wimbledon.....Roger dropped to 5 and he is number 6 for the year end championship and only the top 8 make it....

[Soapsuds]

Roger could drop further as low as 8 or 9. He has a lot of points do defend this summer...Rafa will probably pass Ferrer since he has no points to defend since he didnt play last summer....I think thats why Roger is playing clay court tournaments he hasnt played in years....I can see Berdych and Del Po passing him before the US Open.

[ChitHappens]

I was thinking the exact same thing! Roger could very easily miss the top 8 by YE. He's not winning the US Open (so sorry to have to say this), so he better pretend to be Wosniacki, Safina and Jankovic and play any tourney he can get his racket on. These 3 women made it to #1 w/out winning a slam because they played so many tournaments in between slams. Not sure there is anything to worry about with Tsonga, but Berdych and Del Po have beaten Fed in key matches before. Going out in R2 at Wimby, his best surface? We may have a problem.

Don't even want to think about Murray winning

Correction: Buzzard didn't win, Djoker lost playing that awful amateur match

Yeah Murray won last year. I dont see him winning this year and Novak was runner up. The final was awful as well with the wind over 40 mph....just lousy tennis conditions and the match sucked!

So both Murray and Novak have lots of points to defend....Berdych reached the semis losing to Murray. He should have beaten Murray too but the wind was all over the place during their match too and Murray won in 4 sets. I forget who the other semifinalist was.
