1. Last chance? [to sweep 4 grandslams]

[BlueJac]

2. Excellent

[MissMillie]

3. Not nice to post spoilers in thread titles

Someone who was planning on watching the replay on TV (or their DVR) may feel cheated.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

5. Bah humbug. Replays don't count as a spoiler.

I don't know of one sport that thinks so.especially as it was all over the newspapers.

[MissMillie]

8. To watch this one live you'd have to be up at 3:30 am (EST)

So yes, in this case, it does.

[malaise]

9. I got up for 3.30

because I wanted to see it live

[MissMillie]

10. I used to, when I had cable

My sis was doing a DVR for me so that I could watch it later.

And yeah, I like to watch without knowing the end.

That's why I didn't click on your link in GD. You were kind enough not to spoil it in the title.

[malaise]

11. A repeat is on now

On one of the ESPN channels - so glad I saw it live- a fabulous match and nice guys do win sometimes

[MissMillie]

12. still no cable... (n/t)

.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

13. so sorry to disagree.

I can't imagine anyone on the internet getting as far as DU without seeing the final score. Clearly a different mind set. I looked throughout the forum to find an adequate sports place to post what I considered fabulous news. No sports section. But winey people would rather complain than share in the joy.

What a bummer this turned into.

Just put me on ignore. Please.

14. Me

Not really following tennis as closely these days but there have been times I DVR'd or set things up to watch men's and/or women's finals later in the day/next day, avoided FB and other social media so I wouldn't know the results but have come to DU because I want to see the politics of the day. It's not a lot to ask someone to keep the outcome out of the Reply Title.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

15. I

think it best to not knock a person for enthusiastically posting about an amazing story.

[Sugarcoated]

16. I'm not knocking him

I'm supporting the idea that spoilers shouldn't be in the reply title

[demmiblue]

4. A SPOILER alert would be nice. n/t

[SleeplessinSoCal]

6. Bah humbug to you too.

[demmiblue]

7. ...

[phylny]

18. I agree.

I don't give a hoot about tennis, but it wouldn't have been difficult to post "Men's Australian Open Final Results!"

It's just common courtesy when the match is held so early in U.S. time.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

17. fun clips of Rafa through the years.

And Roger too...
