Murray has a huge chance since Nedal is out due to Injury. Murrays win on the grass courts at Queens will give him a great confidence boost. plus he is on home soil.

he is also the highest seeded player in his half of the draw which means he wont be facing Federer untill the finals of the competion.

shud be a gd few weeks

[Wolves]

I agree, and it's gonna be a greattt tournament this year, really looking forward to it!

[Charlottay!]

Wimbledon is always great to watch anyway just because its happenin in this country. U never no wat to expect. i went to watch sem-finals of 2007. Djokovic vs Nadal where Djokovic retired due to injury. some amazin tennis is played.

[Geraint]

why no pic of murray topless? :(

[Charlottay!]

http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00023/murraytop_280x420_23178a.jpg

there is a pic of andy murray topless.

[Wolves]

I do not like that picture of Murray :(.

Even still though, he's massive now compared to how he was.

News so far; Laura Robson out </3 (love her:() - Federer through, and James Blake lost to Seppi.

[Charlottay!]

Laura Robson sayin she is only 15yrs old she played when heck of a game 2day. up against some1 who is 11yrs older than she is must have been tough.

[Geraint]

Not forgetting that Hantuchova used to be 5th in the world. Needs to improve her serve. It's good when she gets it in but she double faults too much.

[Pixel]

It wont feel the same this year without Nadal. I'm a Federer & Murray fan so I'm not that disappointed but for the tournament he's a big loss!

[Rock]

Murray ftw.

I expect Federer vs Murray in final.

[Jackbee]

plus he is on home soil.

Not technically, he is from scotland..

[Wolves]

Still GB.

[Charlottay!]

all the fans around him will be mainly rooting for him since the country support him.

i also expect a murray/federer final as well.

murray to play tomoz shud be a gd game.

[Wolves]

I expect Murray V Federer final, but that's what I hope also, but a lot can happen.

He SHOULD walk it tomorrow.

[Charlottay!]

should and will r 2 different things.

[Simmzay]

Hoping Hewitt goes deep.

[Blinger1]

All Aussies hope for this, but he probably won't.. and Dokic went out in the first round.. lets hope that the rest of Australia aren't as bad...

[Wolves]

Australia now suck at tennis.

[Immenseman]

i have a feeling Murray won't make the final. i wasn't all that convinced yesterday.

[Wolves]

It was his first match, he needed that to settle down, he should be fine now, let him get on with it, believe in him, and he'll hopefully be fine.

[Charlottay!]

yh murray had a bad game and seemed to struggle.

womens doubles 2day was great with all GBR playin on 1 court.

laura robson may not have got through on singels but went through 2day on doubles with georgie stoop

[Wolves]

I love Laura Robson. (L)

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/multimedia/archive/00998/laura-robson_998787c.jpg
ilu

don't tell me that isn't fit.

[Pixel]

I saw the end of Robson in the doubles, they got there in the end! Sharapova vs Dulko was a great match as well.

Anyone else have tickets this year?

[Wolves]

No but I'd pay to see Laura/Murray if I lived closer to Wimbledon.

Have you?

[Geraint]

Anybody seen this? Fair play to the guy, nice gesture.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/8117785.stm

How crap are they though? Have they never played tennis?

the second ball girl was ok, but yeah fair play to him, they'll surely remember that for the rest of their lives now.

[Pixel]

Yep :) I got lucky and I'm going next Monday & Wednesday! I'll get some photos for you lot :P

To be fair, they are just normal school kids who are nominated by their schools I think.. So not all of them will be good at tennis

Here's another vid like that, Federer vs Sampras. Sampras got aced 3 times in a row and gave his racket to the ballboy to take over :P

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkxDcA4qnsA

[Blinger1]

Australia now suck at tennis.
They are as good as England in the cricket..

And for that video posted above i get this:


Tommy Haas gets in some extra practice with Wimbledon's ball boys and girls as his second round opponent Michael Llodra retires after a collision with a ball girl and the umpire's chair.

Our best prospect is Stosa, lol.

[Tintinnabulate]

I want; Anna Ivanovic to win the womens (niiiiceee :D):

http://angulo.yooblog.gr/files/2007/07/anna-ivanovic.jpg


If you want Anna Ivanovic to win just because she is slightly good looking then man you really are sadder than I originally thought.

[Wolves]

It's called a blumin joke, get a sense of humour for once, christ, what's up with you? stop trolling, and get over yourself, learn to have a laugh, and yes I do want her to win, but not just because she is fit, but because she always does crap at Wimbledon and deserves better, and she can do better.

You also obviously haven't red the rest of the thread, I also said Laura Robson was good looking, but you just come on here to nit pick at my thread to troll me every word.

-rep.

[Tintinnabulate]

Now you know how it felt when you spammed my thread 24/7.

[Wolves]

I didn't spam your thread, i raised valid points against you, and you couldn't take it, however your points are not valid and are only their to annoy me.


You should know this, as your pretty proud of your ''Ex-Forum Super Moderator :: Ex-Rare Values Reporter :: Ex-Habbo Friends Moderator'' status.

[Tintinnabulate]

Valid points .. is that why you got perm banned and most of your posts pruned?

[Wolves]

My VALID points were put across in the wrong way, which is why they were pruned.

My VALID points were only what other members in the sports section thought of you, FACT.

Now please stop trolling and let this thread flow, I don't want it getting closed.

[Tintinnabulate]

I doubt most people on this forum are racists ...
And ohhh you dont want this thread closed? Ohhh sorry, but I am sure you continued being rude when I asked you to stop.
I am not even being rude, I am just replying to your posts.

[Wolves]

trolling yet again.

is that your attempt at accusing me of being a racist? well that failed, i'm not racist, I don't need to prove that to you as it should be fairly obvious i'm not. :)

i don't know how you've been brought up in your life, but it's quite apparent that you have been brought up to think that you're better and above everyone else.

that's my say, I won't be replying to you any more within this thread, so please stop with the trolling.

[Berch]

You both need to stop replying in this thread really because your not getting anywhere with it and are only going to succeed in getting your thread closed Wolves.

[Tintinnabulate]

trolling yet again.

Someone who keeps saying rude things towards Indians and flames me because I am Indian ... so yeah I class you as a racist :)
I have been brought up perfectly fine thank you, but I just dont like racists :) or glory seekers.

[Wolves]

dw, i've had my say now, but he'll keep replying because that what he's like, and lol@the 'racist and glory seekers' - i'm not gonna retaliate to that cause it's just laughable.

anyway, who's watching Wimbledon atm? Williams V Bondarenko, 1-1 atm.

[Charlottay!]

Andy Murray totaly destroyed today. great game and he was very comfortable.

jamie murray also went through in mixed doubles (which he won last yr) but lost out in mens doubles.

[Wolves]

watched the murray game, easy victory. :)

[Blinger1]

I have not heard of any of the players that Murray has faced.. so he should win, if he doesn't then that is an embarrassment.

[Geraint]

I have not heard of any of the players that Murray has faced.. so he should win, if he doesn't then that is an embarrassment.

You obviously do not follow tennis then as I have heard of all three.

[Blinger1]

Oh you mean the two people who are ranked over 70 in the world and the other is 31... must have been tough >_<

[Geraint]

Kendrick has a very good serve and that showed. Gulbis isn't too bad. Troicki, well, dunno how he's 30th seed.

[Blinger1]

They are still ranked over 70. It is not that big of an achievement for the world number 3 ?

[Geraint]

No-one said it was. :S

The higher you are, the easier your opponents. Federer's hardly had it tough has he?

[Wolves]

He is Australian, he doesn't read things before he posts.

[Blinger1]

No-one said it was. :S
Why do you guys keep saying "Murray had an easy win :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D" ?


The higher you are, the easier your opponents. Federer's hardly had it tough has he?
It seems Fed's opponents were ranked higher then Murray's opponents.. Two thirds were ranked higher and the third was one rank below Murray's.. hmm, who has it tougher :S


He is Australian, he doesn't read things before he posts.
I don't think you read things before you post either then.. Remember this?


Its all the same ****. And i love how you keep going 'omg u r dum coz u r aussi !!'... what an insult... especially to a swiss.

[Wolves]

Australian city so you are aussie? durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

[Geraint]

Why do you guys keep saying "Murray had an easy win :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D" ?

I don't think you read things before you post either then.. Remember this?

because they were :P

[Wolves]

i meant to say australian citizen up their but im too tired to think!!!!! omggggggggggggggggg!!

[Pixel]

I wouldn't look too deep into players rankings to be honest. The difference between the top 5 and 100 ranks isn't that great, there's a lot of players in there that can cause an upset. Just look at the high seeds who were knocked out of wimbledon in the early rounds..

Hewitt for example, 56 in the world and not even seeded at wimbledon, yet he knocks the 5th seed out..

I got centre court tickets for tomorrow :D Federer vs Soldering & Murray vs Wawrinka! Can't wait :D

[Simmzay]

Smh @ the Aussie hate in here.

Hewitt is playing today, our last chance!

[luce]

Murray loosing 4 games to love.

[Immenseman]

poor start by murray, just won the 5th game

[kuzkasate]

I dont really care about the mens, but in women I want Safina to win.

Shes amazing and shes Russian lol x

[Chippiewill]

They just leveled off at 2 sets each, meaning two or so more hours to go at the very least... And there is no reason to call off the match because there is no lighting issues..

[Clowgon]

Murray is looking tired. Not really a fan of Murray tbh. I want Wawrinka to win..

Great game though.

EDIT: Ye i bet some of the spectators are saying "woooo another 2 hours of great tennis"

I can see other's saying "oh for bobba sakes, I've got work tomorrow"

:P

[dirrty]

i feel sorry for wawrinka because everyones cheering for murray and not him lolol. i'm waiting for a murray v federer final, which probably will happen.

edit; that was SO close to the net lol

[Immenseman]

im not sure he'll reach the final, murray that is. come on muzza.

[Clowgon]

Credit to Wawrinka wanted him to win tbh...

Can see him rising up the ranks in the near future, great match.

[Simmzay]

I like Murray's chances to get to the final.

[Blinger1]

I like Murray's chances to get to the final.
Where you surprised that Hewitt won today?

[Tintinnabulate]

Wow at Wawrinka's serves!

[Clowgon]

I am very surprise that Hewitt got through i think it was those fans who was chanting his name throughout after he had that small miner injury to he's thigh that inspired him to go on for the victory.

[Pixel]

Murray v Wawrinka was an great match! Stayed there till the end :D The atmosphere was amazing. I'll post some pics soon

I really hope Murray can get to the final now :D

[Simmzay]

Hewitt has had a pretty favourable draw which is why I thought he may go deep. I must say though I don't fancy him to beat Roddick. Quarters is probably good enough for him.

[Simmzay]

So Hewitt lost in five sets, good showing. Roddick vs Murray semis will be interesting I think Murray will edge it.

[Geraint]

I wrote Murray off. Thought he'd screw it up and bottle it like he normal does but he isn't doing too badly so far. He could well make the final where it will take the performance of his lifetime to beat Federer.

[Blinger1]

So Hewitt lost in five sets, good showing. Roddick vs Murray semis will be interesting I think Murray will edge it.
What an achievement for his current form!!!

I did this but for Hewitt.

[Simmzay]

Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not. I don't think quarter finals is really an achievement for him but it's been a long time since he's performed this well.

[Immenseman]

murray has lost first set but broke in the second 2-1 up murray serving

[LuketheDuke]

Murrays record is solid against Roddick but hes making a complete meal out of this one.

Its a shame as Rod's game is so one dimensional yet its working, if he goes through expect it to be dismantled by Federer

[Mathew]

Murray is out of Wimbledon.. beaten by Roddick.

Boo hiss.

[Immenseman]

Tried his best.

[Oleh]

Then again murray played exceptionally well, you may boo him, but hes 22, he is 3rd in the world, and had about 8-9 years left

[Geraint]

I wrote Murray off. Thought he'd screw it up and bottle it like he normal does but he isn't doing too badly so far. He could well make the final where it will take the performance of his lifetime to beat Federer.

My fault. I should have written him off.... :eusa_whis

[Simmzay]

The worst part is that Roddick will now collapse and fall apart against Federer. Murray would've given Federer a better game.

[Immenseman]

I'd like to see Federer win anyway, fantastic player. He'll always have something Murray never will. The ability to be one of the best players yet not be arrogant.

[Blinger1]

Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not. I don't think quarter finals is really an achievement for him but it's been a long time since he's performed this well.
That was being serious, i haven't heard anything good about Hewitt for a while ;)


Still hoping that Fed wins :)

[.Zi]

Its a shame murray is out, but he wasn't playing at his best, he could of won if he really tried.



1000th post!!!!!!!!!!!

[Immenseman]

venus saved 2 match points.

serena has broke already in the second set after winning the first set on a tie break

cmon serena :eusa_danc

[LuketheDuke]

Serena r winner.

Not a great match i reck, Venus didnt really play like she can.

[Immenseman]

serena was like a machine though

[LuketheDuke]

No doubt the way she opens up play by forcing the ball on both sides of the court by such power is amazing to watch.

I do wonder if Venus played some smaller shots and made Serena come foward more often the game may have stretched longer as SW's short game isn't as solid as from when shes playing on the baseline.

[Immenseman]

The worst part is that Roddick will now collapse and fall apart against Federer. Murray would've given Federer a better game.
first set to roddick :P 7-5 :O

[RyanDOT]

first set to roddick :P 7-5 :O

It's because of his serves and his aces.

[Immenseman]

wrong. in the first set fed got more aces. fact. sure his serve is amazing but so is federers

[RyanDOT]

Roddick is being a threat, I think Federer thought it would be quite a easy game.

[-Heart]

Tiebreaker in the 2nd set, Roddick just taken a 2-0 lead in the tiebreaker. First to 7 for anyone who doesn't know.

1-1 on sets now, A-Rod was 6-1 up on the tiebreaker with 4 Set Points but he ****** it up and lost it 8-6.

[Immenseman]

yeah, 4-1 now roddick

[Geraint]

federer wins. 1-1.

[Tristan]

:(
Come on Andy!

[Immenseman]

winning 6 points in a row...............

roddick blew that, lol

game over imo

[Geraint]

roddick did a henman.

[RyanDOT]

Tie break was amazing.

[Blinger1]

so who won? Its not on the tv here...

[Immenseman]

1 set each atm.

5-5 atm in 3rd set

[Blinger1]

okay cheers! Its not on the tv and there is no news on the radio at 1am.. Unless i put my radio onto am but its almost impossible to get back to a decent fm station then.

[RyanDOT]

http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcone/watchlive/

[Tristan]

Come on! Roddick's broken Federer. 3-1.

[Callum.]

getting very tense.

2-2 sets 8-8 games

[Immenseman]

awesome game.

[Simmzay]

16-14 in the fifth? Wow.

[Geraint]

if only roddick hadn't thrown away 4 set points in the 2nd. he look tired, his serve wasn't doing too well and he just didn't have the energy in the end. he look absolutely devastated, he say's he'll be back but deep down he must think that his final chance has gone.

[Blinger1]

Gutted that i had to start work at 2:30am!!! WHY!?

And i am glad Fed won! He is sooo better then Roddick! lol!

And also, just to be a nuisance, Wolves said "Aussie's now suck at the tennis", but we seemed to make the finals didn't we ;)?

[Tintinnabulate]

A very very good final indeed. Poor Roddick.

No, no the Ozzies didn't make the final.

womens tennis is crap, god knows why they get equal prize money to the men.

was an ok final, wasn't as good as nadal - fed though. games were too predictable as both where serving so well, wasn't enough breaks of services for my liking.

Women complained that it was sexist that women were paid more than men, however, men play first to 3 sets and women play first to 2 sets. Men play more yet get paid the same. Talk about sexist. :rolleyes:
