You don't get flashing of body parts on Eggheads smile


Only talking about legs, DD. Nothing your wife would object to.

Dilly, Eggheads have pulsating foreheads, have you never seen them ?

Seriously mistaken, Fish. This is the man and he can play superb tennis too on his beautiful legs for hours on end !

Never heard of a football match going on for 3 hrs !

Look at these beautiful specimens. I'll take a cold shower after Sunday's final.

Probably too late now, for the footballer legs. Once formed no turning back to tennis legs. Sorry you lost your chances. thumbsdown

Hopefully ,I'll be able to watch the men's final tomorrow. Got family visiting and it's pretty hectic, might just chase them off to Brimstage Maize, where they can get lost for a few hours.

Very pleased Venus didn't win. I reckon everyone thought it was a foregone conclusion, but NO, and it's pleasing that another has won. Since the year 2000, one or other of the Williams sisters have won 11 times. That's not cricket !

Something I've never taken too Granny, Tennis. Used to quite like it when McEnroe and was it Connors used to throw their tantrums found that quite funny. Know it's hugely popular though a girl I used to work with would make sure she took annual leave so she could watch Wimbledon.

I was watching some of Jimmy Connors matches last night an excellent player, as was McEnroe apart from their gamesmanship.

Different style of play these days, its all about the big serve.

Great to see Federer through to the finals, as well as a brilliant player he has been an excellent ambassador for the sport. Federer is still young at 35, Kenny Rosewall was 39 when he beat Jimmy Connors in the Wimbledon final, but Connors beat him a few weeks later in the US Open.

I too was glad to watch the Spaniard win. Your right, it
wasn't cricket, it's tennis. The Williams sisters won that
many times because they deserved to win. Not a fan but
credit were it's due. Glad Venus was not to blame for the
death in car accident.

Totally true, if the youngsters can't up their game enough that's their problem. Muguruza is 23 years old, probably not reached her potential yet but I doubt she will be in any finals in 14 years time. Full marks to the Williams sisters for their track record.

Well done to Federer, what an amazing star.
