Is it just me...

comment on the article

...or is anyone else bored to tears by the prospect of an all-Williams final? How very dull. Yet again we're likely to be treated to one big, boring love-in with the winner commiserating with the loser and the loser bigging up the winner. Pass me the sick bag. I feel it's a sad indictment of the mental weaknesses within ladies' tennis that the 4 top seeds have fallen; players such as Jankovic, Ivanovic and perhaps even Sharapova undoubtedly have the shots and the ability but they just don't have the killer instinct when the going gets really tough and I feel it was a huge blow to lose someone of the calibre of Henin. Are we supposed to be delighted that the two players on the women's tour with the greatest resilience are from the same family? I know what I probably won't be doing at 3pm on Saturday afternoon.

PS - The childish idiots who booed Richard Gasquet back onto the court against Murray after the 4th set should be banned from ever entering SW19 again. If you want to boo, go to the football or to a pantomime. Both players deserve credit for producing such great drama, Gasquet as much as Murray.

The Williams sisters have ruined the womens game completely and it is this they ought to be remembered by. Yet another williams final will be loud, dull, power-filled, unclassy etc etc and is definitely a match to be avoided.

Im totally underwhelmed by womens tennis. They are just not very good at it I'm afraid & as for their physical condition. I've seen women in Govan in better shape! Lyndsay Davenport, now there's a womens player who can actually play, it's just a shame she can't run & is often beaten by brute force & ignorance like in the final a couple of years back. Henin-Herdenne was another good player but she's sacked it hasn't she. Anyway I don't like the Williams brothers. All that grunting & intimidating of opponents is pure gamesmanship. Much like Rafa Nadal in the mens.

I know...it's so unfair. How dare they go out on to court and win? This is a disgrace. If they weren't so good and the others were a bit better then I bet they would have been knocked out by now.

Down with the Williams sisters!
