Wimbledon Draw

I thought they might but that was quick even for the BBC.

I just finished watching it. Great documentary. I learned a lot about him. And laughed a few times, too. Watching his physio guy get in the ice bath was hilarious, as was the anecdote about what happened on the plane flying home after the USO.

Really glad you liked it. I didn't learn anything new about him but as a fan it was nice to watch.

I wonder if he did get Rafa back. Will need to find out.

Very good watch. Enjoyed it.

The above link didn't work for me, but this One did.

At this event, by now, there is a feeling that "the changing of the guards " is really happening.
The average age of the top 4 is sharply down, Novak instead of being the youngest like at ERG, no is the oldest (with Murray).
And for the first time Novak-Murray ranked 1-2 coming through and lived up to their expectations, while the other two are: Delpo, the youngest active slam winner and the young rising promising player, (who just a reminder) was 136 ranked a year ago.
And the fact that Janowicz is the one who made it into the SF in that most anticipated Fedal quarter it seems more significant to me.
Great tournament, all in all.

The word "great" is getting thrown around here an awful lot lately. It has made me question how I perceive the word, so I looked it up in the Oxford English Dictionary:

"Of surpassing excellence; hence, used as a rapturous term of admiration"

This has been an unusual Wimbledon, without question, with several notable occurrences. It has been noteworthy. It has been surprising. But great? Truly great? As in "surpassing excellence"? Worthy of a "rapturous term of admiration"? :nono

I also looked it up in exactly the same dictionary. This is what I got:

"a. Of things, actions, events: Of more than ordinary importance, weight, or distinction; important, weighty; distinguished, prominent; famous, renowned."

Mine is under 12 yours under 16. I'll look into this later in the sense of which definition is more suitible to 'matches'.
