Wimbledon

[V F]

I'm really gutted this year for Wimbledon. Day 4 now and most of the big names have gone. I usually don't get this feeling until usually the Friday or Saturday of the last week of Wimbledon.

Having said that they will now probably get knocked out and it'll be a frenzy of activity googling who the hell the other players are

LoL!

 

[isonomicjedi]

Your lecherous (and dramatically unfunny) quips about all the female players are hugely grating.

I think you can put me on ignore if you would so like?

Done, just have to hope no one quotes you now.

Remember Andy has beaten Novak the last two times they have met at Wimbledon (Wimbledon 2012 and Olympics)

Now the monkey is off his back thanks to the brilliant NY victory last year (and dont forget how close Andy was at beating Fed in the final last year, and Fed was probably a better grass player than Novak then) AM has a really grat chance this year

I was really concerned about Tsonga but thankfully he is now out (although of course I hope his knee recovers soon)

Murray has only played Djokovic on grass once, at the Olympics as you say. Fed beat Novak last year.

The Williams sisters have ruined women's tennis. Discuss.

I dont even bother to watch any more, without being overly harsh....they just out hit everyone.....

And then they seem spoiled/bitter as shown when arguing with the umpire (sharapova does this also) it is horrible to see and shows no respect.

One last final rant, how does Serena get away with wearing bright orange/purple underwear when Fed has to change shoes due to orange bottoms?

Probably because if Wimbledon told her to wear white knick knacks, they would be accused of racism

Personally i dont bother watching womens tennis anymore, stupid incessant screaming and shouting from Sharapova and Azarenka to name but 2 is just ridiculous.

Laura Robson beat Venus Williams a couple of weeks back and a number of players have been playing with brightly coloured shorts so I can not agree with your POV

Kvitova when on form can hit anyone off the court as can Li Na. In fact there are quite a few big hitters out there in the womens game (including Laura Robson) but it is Serena's more reliable serve that is giving her the strong upper hand right now, though she still wonders away mentally in games sometimes.

Dominica Cibulkova hit Serena off the court for a set and 4-1 up a couple of months back before Serena turned it around

Simona Halep, Sorana cirstea Sabine Lisicki, are all out and out hitters who play an all out attacking game that is, while not consistent, capable of taking the game away from opponenets.

disagree. if you're going to dismiss a whole sport over 1/2 players then you don't have much interest in it.

Why aren't they closing the roof?


Hmm, they have a roof but wont use it. Ok, this makes sense. But we'll keep faffing about with covers.


Erm, what the hell, covers back on again. All this faffing about they could have had the roof closed, air conditioning on and back to playing.

 

[isonomicjedi]

Laura Robson now due up on Court 2 after erakovic knocks out Peng.

Robson to play her mate Erakovic if she can get win today.

Heh, how can people get so excited on a roof closing then fully shut.

 

[isonomicjedi]

People watching are devoid of any excitement in their lives or they are all trying out for Andrew Lloyd-Webbers new musical about seals.

Its like on a game show when the audience goes wild with applause because a contestant can speak their own names. Bewildering.

On another note, I just found Tim Henman in my shed. Says he was looking for some seeds for the 2nd week.

What's with all the American pundits and commentators? They annoy the hell out of me for some reason .

 

[V F]

Oh my god, why are we seeing replay of the screamers again...

 

[marc2003]

wrong channel? bbc1 is showing centre court with the roof on. novak is just about to come on.

i think people want to hear the opinions of people who've done something with their career unlike most of the british losers we're lumbered with.

Wrong channel. I'm waiting for the covers to come off to watch Laura Robson. No screaming here.

I was on the red button.

Serena is frightening in HD. Those painted eyebrows are terrifying.

 

[isonomicjedi]

Well done to Kimiko Date-Krumm who is thru to 3rd round aged 76 or something like that. Don't give her much hope against Serena next round though.

Sometimes I'm convinced Sue is in love with Henman. Always strangely giggling like some teenage couple.
