Rafa loses the first set and then flogs Murray in the next 3.
He pantsed the jock now bring on the Djok.
Djokovic may be Number 1 on the rankings but the whole world knows who the real number 1 is. Hopefully Nadal to destroy Djokovic like the true champ he is.

Kvitova wins the first set 6-3, all over Sharapova this one could be over quickly

Great Day for the Aussies so far
Stosur into doubles final, Luke Saville won the boys final and Ashleigh Barty into junior ladies final.

Yeah agreed it doesnt guarantee you make it with the big boys but it would still be pretty awesome to tell everyone you are the best junior in the world.

Kvitova crushes Sharapova 6-3,6-4.
Way too powerful, reckon we will see a lot more of her in future.

Winning the juniors and being the best junior in the world are so far apart

Would be nice to put the trophy up but means nothing. I'd trade my junior records for a strong senior record in a heartbeat.

Definately would rather a strong senior record.
In the past a good junior record would almost guarantee you a good senior career but nowadays you are correct in saying it doesnt mean much. Reckon you would find a fair number of junior major winners over the last few years have gone nowhere.
Do hope the young man can go the next step.

Which is why most tend to take the chance to lose round 1 in seniors than an odds on junior title. Tomic case in point.

Anyone know the junior grand slam winners from 5-10 years ago by any chance?

In the last 10 years i think only Monfils has gone on to do much and I wouldnt class him as a great player yet. I did hear the commentators mention such names as Borg,Llendl,Edberg,Cash and Federer have won Wimbledon juniors in past. I reckon your right in your summary, guys like tomic would rather have a crack at the seniors round 1 then play juniors.

And I thought that English twat in the boys fInal had shocking body language. This girl barty is playing in the girls final is jus as bad. Shouldn't be throwing tantrums in a Wimbledon final when your losing. Dead set looks like she is nearly in tears every un forces error she makes
