Does anyone else think the Umpire just sounds like the ultimate cool dude

I was thinking a mix between Barry White and the voice of the Mysterons

Why thank you. It could have been so much worse, I toyed with putting 2k on Williams to win the tie at 1/20. Would be bricking it right now!

ZOMG

[mcelliott]

Outstanding.

[bexVN]

She has handled this match perfectly so far, Come on Heather!!

[SydneyBridge]

Busy on Heather's hill.

This will a huge huge shock if she can do it,

[Driver101]

Heather looks a bit tired.

[Mermaid]

Disappointing 1st serves could cost her dear.

That service game was critical. 4-0 would have been very challenging for Williams. Still loads to do for Watson. Not convinced she has the guts. Hope so. Really hope so.

Honestly I cannot tell from those pics if it is in or out as I cannot see which one is the one where it is hitting the ground.

I've even just put my new glasses on to look more clearly (first time spectacle wearer!) Do you mean on the first pic the ball hasn't yet landed?

Of course the first pic it has not landed yet, there's a shadow under the ball!

The second picture the ball shows compression as it hits, the third it bouncing up.

Did you go to spec savers?



Put all 3 pics in a browser and toggle between them

does this help?

For such a champion Williams really lacks confidence. She seems overly excited when she wins a point. Totally lacking the sort of cool, calm persona I'd expect to see from a champion. Odd.

They all do it. Sport wouldn't be exciting if winning important points didn't mean anything.

Whatever the result you definitely can't say she bottled it.

[bexVN]

She has plenty of guts, think she has proven that already

This is where she has to hold her nerve. Come on.
