Wimbledon

It would be really great if Murray did win, just to break the 'fred perry was the last one to win it in 1936'. And then in the future they'll be saying "we've had no british wimbledon winner for 77 years since Andy Murray won it in 2013".

yes it would. but even if he did win, it still won't stop drive by asshats posting in future tennis threads. "he's not won it enough times, didn't have to play nadal/federer/etc" :rolleyes:

Nothing will stop some people, it's a bit like many conspiracy theorists, when they're proved wrong they just change the prediction slightly and carry on as if nothing has happened.

Didn't get a chance to watch either match yesterday but I'm pleased that Murray got through without another punishing five set match, here's hoping he can take advantage of this opportunity.

Bahrami. What an entertainer.

Bartoli is...odd. Love how she just sleeps all the time though

Merlin5 · 6 Jul 2013 at 14:10

Here we go then. C'mon Lisicki.

Robbo · 6 Jul 2013 at 14:16

Bartoli seems to have lost her nerve already.

Edit: Sorry, I forgot this is women's tennis.

Moothead2 · 6 Jul 2013 at 14:19

Women's tennis everybody

High quality stuff already.

Merlin5 · 6 Jul 2013 at 14:28

Bartoli will be crowned champion and Lisicki runner up.

Hopefully you have another prediction wrong.

Moothead2 · 6 Jul 2013 at 14:35

Damn Lisicki, you usually have a set lead before you balls everything up

Me, wrong? Never

Robbo · 6 Jul 2013 at 14:39

Wow Lisicki is getting destroyed out there. :eek:

Marsman · 6 Jul 2013 at 14:40

Looks like the occasion has got to Lisicki so far.

I hope Lisicki turns up, or this is going to be non event final.

Pretty disappointing so far. I hope the men's final isn't this one sided…

Merlin5 · 6 Jul 2013 at 14:42

I'll say one thing about women playing less sets. They're under more pressure to get early leads. Men can lose 2 sets before being fully warmed up and still make a comeback.

Hope not too, but I can only see it being a disappointment after that semi-final yesterday

Indeed. Look at Roland Garros. Great semi final and a Rafael Nadal exhibition in the final.

marc2003 · 6 Jul 2013 at 14:47

that's a bit better.

edit: maybe not. this is just awful to watch.
