I started watching around set 33. Wow - were they evenly matched. I have not seen tennis like that - ever!

this is why they should replace the rackets with hatchets...

over in a fraction of the time, and they'd be really motivated to win...

a further bonus is it would also make tennis worth watching...

I am so glad you have relatively no influence over sport, movies and books - though I do have tons of respect for your knowledge. I see you taking us back to the days of Rome where intelligent people were viewed as gods and the rest were left to fight it out in the circuses (or fed to the lions).

It is rare to find two people so evenly matched at a sport. It was entertaining to watch - granted there was no blood spilled.
