3.7.11 Men's Final

It was a good match, and for a change, Nadal was slightly less efficient than normal.  The pundits came out with all the usual blurb, and over 4 sets we experienced some good tennis.  The microphone fiasco at the very end proved beyond doubt that the BBC licence fee really needs to go up pretty quickly so there's money in the kitty to sort it out in time for next year.

Some interesting stats have emerged, although not the ones you might expect.  Instead of the aces, double faults, first serves in etc, I have noted some other more interesting points relating to the Men's Final Towel Wiping Championship at Wimbledon.  These included the following:

Dkokovic - Nadal

Banana Eating: 4 - 0
Water Drinking (bottles): 6 - 8
Arse Picking: 1 - 142
Ball Bouncing: 3,122 - 523
Towel Wipes (face): 177 - 263
Towel Wipes (biceps): 9 - 132

Most bounces of the ball, before serving: Djokovic - 32
Most balls inspected before a serve: Djokovic - 5
