I'm watching it now actually.

What a great match.

They'll have to bring a DVD out of it as I was watching England this afternoon.

How much more farcical could this match become though if there is no winner tonight?

That will be about as exciting as going to B & Q buying some emulsion, painting your bedroom wall and stairing at it all day, while having a cheeky "sock handshake"

I watched a bit of the match after the England game last night. It all seemed to be mostly winning points on serve and hardly any rallies.

Players have a hard enough time as it is returning a serve after playing 7+ hours I am suprised they could be arsed at sticking the racket out

To be honest it was like watching two lads down the park playing.

ridiculous - they should have a better sudden death system whenever the final set has reached a certain score. Next game the winner and not a 2 game margin

Surely saying the player who serving "2nd" has the chance to get level is the fairest way and I'm not a lover of tennis.

It's like saying League 1 will consist of 23 games where some teams play 12 home games and others play 11 and vice versa on away games.

Probably a bad way of putting it but think you can see where I'm coming from.

It seemed like someone trying to play next goal wins in a football match, only a really iimportant football match neither team wanted to lose so were both concentrating on defence.

Is there a limit on the number of penalties in a football shoot out?

You see, that tennis match was a perfect example of how the fear of not wanting to lose a match can affect the match as a spectacle.
