Ooohh, I know this, it's 1979

That doesn't even make sense Frederick.

1936 makes sense

What happened? I've only heard of two of them.

Laura Robson has made the semi's where she will play the 3rd seed.

Serena Williams vs Dinara Safina in the Womens final. The winner will also become the new World number 1.

Federer has just beaten Roddick in 3, to go into the final. Whatever Roddick tried, Federer had an answer for. Brilliant. Roddick is now 2-18 against Federer, and appears to be Roger's bunny.

Robson actually plays the top seed, Lertcheewakarn, who she beat in the 2008 junior Wimbledon final. She was a bit fortunate to go through, as she was two points away from losing the 2nd set, when her opponent was forced to retire by the doctor with a bad ankle.

the brits have never won a single males grand slam

matts wilander vs pat cash playing now . cash wimbleton champion

I know reading is difficult for you, but we did seem to come to an agreement yesterday that Mr Fred Perry was the winner of 8 grand slam singles titles, the last of which was in 1936.

Over 20 years ago, man.

Meanwhile in the present day, what is Lleyton's current ranking?

they were not pro grand slam titles

Right, so we're now talking about single mens open titles in the Open era. Anything else you want to add on to this increasingly narrow band?

Well done to Laura Robson, beat the top seed and made the final. Hope she can convert her junior success into the pro game.

5th seed Robson will meet Russian 3rd seed Ksenia Pervak in Saturday's final, due on at 2am.

Should she win that match, Robson will become the junior world number one.

Nadal is finding it tough against an inspired Verdasco. 3 hours in and they haven't finished 3 sets yet. Federer must be laughing into his iced drink.

Amazing match, if Verdasco can keep this up and keep his nerve he has every chance.

This is a masterclass of tennis from both players

And despite being only 15 will have her picture plastered over the tabloids with all sorts of salaciousness masquerading as innocent comments.

Well done to her by the way. We may soon have two Brits challenging for honours in the main game.

Indeed. Greg Rusedski's comeback can only be good for British tennis.

Verdasco had Nadal on the roped then, and then let him off/choked!!!!

And they are about as British as each other!

Great match, Nadal never gives in and perhaps Verasco did buckle towards the end. I have no idea who's going to win the final. it could be a great match.

Can of worms time, 5 and a half hours of entertainment there, i dont know how long the womans semi final lasted, but those matches can be over in 50 mins....... higher TV ratings for the mens game, you know what i'm getting at........

???

True, but what happens if the mens final is a blow out? I've seen mens games last not longer than an hour, and women's games last well over twice that long.

Also, it's not that long ago that the womens final, certainly at the U.S Open when it was the Williams brothers playing, were higher than the mens.

From my own point of view, I think the tennis on offer in the mens game is better, (despite some of the women being better to watch!) but it's not as black and white as some people make out.

The Australian Open is so cool, Wimbledon ought to go down the late-night route!!
