The prize for winning Meath v Dublin in 1991 was Wicklow.
Big Kev holds to love (again) for 24-24. Isner might need a new strength and conditioning coach. He’s wilting visibly before our eyes.
Big Kev 0-30 yet again on Isner serve
0-40. Three break points for Big Kev
Come on! Big Kev breaks for 25-24.
Anderson’s the better player by a mile
Big Kev wraps it up in 6 hours 35 minutes - 7-6 6-7 6-7 6-4 26-24
Wimbledon are probably applying for a late licence. Isnt there some rule that they have to finish at 10.30 because of public transport
Anderson will have to eat plenty of Meringues, have loads of sex and get counselling for euphoria to have any chance in the final.
Scintillating stuff. Wouldnt get it anywhere else
John Inverdale says Anderson is first South African finalist in 97 years. Was Kevin Curran who lost to Boris not from South Africa?
They have ruined each others chances now, well what little chance they had.
Terrific achievement for a hardcourt specialist like Big Kev who’s never shown any form on grass in his long career to make the final of the Big One. Delighted for him. He seems like a top top bloke. His first thoughts in his interview here are for his vanquished opponent. He’s gutted for his old college buddy. What camaraderie.
He was South African but had become a US citizen shortly before he lost to Broom Broom Boris in 1985.
Fantastic start from Djokovic. He has been in with a shout on every Nadal service game.
This has been a real high quality first set. Djokovic in particular has been incredible so far.
Super stuff. Tell ya, that crowd last saturday that gave Djokovic a hard time have relit the fire in him. They awakened the giant.
What time will they play to gents?
First set Djokovic 6-4. Nadal hasn’t been too shabby either but Djokovic has been simply superb.
