Wimbledon Running Thread. *Updated--Isner wins 70-68 in 5th*

Can't imagine Federererer has lost many sets 6-1 in the last few years. Anyone have the numbers on that by chance?

 

Nadal is getting waxed in the first set. 5-0 last I saw.

 

Would be fitting for the tournament to be set up perfectly for Murray (no Federer, no Nadal) . . . and he still blows it.

 

Chang was and remains my second-favorite player ever, behind J.P. McEnroe.

And weren't Anna and Hingis ranked No. 1 in the world in doubles at one time? I know they won a couple of major titles. I'd say that and her looks and fame qualify her for the loosely defined Legends bracket.

 

Nadal headed for tiebreaker in third.

 

Thank you msnbc for a live video feed of Nadal and Murray matches.

That live radio feed from wimbledon.com of the Brits is nice too; too bad its about 30 secs before the video feed so not a good combination (used to listen to Hank Stram/Jack Buck on cbs radio on Monday Night Football with sound off, that was the best).

Nadal is just so quick, whereas others lunge to just get it back, he can at least get it back with some penetration so that its not a sitter. Sorry Murray, if Nadal gets through Soderling Murray cannot hurt Nadal.

 

Every article I'm reading describes Federer's loss as stunning. Am I the only one that's not shocked at all?

Fed has been on thin ice for a long time now -- he hasn't won a tournament since the Aussie Open -- and Thomas is playing better than he ever has. I know Fed has owned Wimbledon, but he looked very beatable in all but one of his matches.

I know Fed wants to play through the 2012 Olympics, but it's hard to picture him sticking around if he isn't reaching the semis of slams. The U.S. Open is HUGE for him — and I hope he storms through it without dropping a set.
