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.  |

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. |

Wonder if they've any plans for that, now they've got the roof?
My guess would be not, seeing as you get long daylight hours in England in June/July, and it may effect the grass if it's closed for long periods of time. We've seen that from a rugby perspective at the Magic Weekend.
Sad really, as I agree it would make a better spectacle. |

Ssssshhh. 
So she was born in Australia, but I think she only lived there for a matter of minutes, and her talent was honed in Blighty using our excellent infrastructure and facilities.

I suppose either way....there is still a hell of a lot of money to be won in Tennis, so i dont suppose they lose to much sleep over it anyway, and you could argue that the ranking points you need to get to the slams are earned on the basis of events which only last 3 sets anyway (mens and womens) |
