Nice draw for Henman this year, he's managed to avoid both Lleyton and Roger, might be his best chance yet of making the final (though of course it's more probable he'll choke and lose to some unknown).

And come on, it's not as if Ferrero is going to do any thing on grass anyway, I expect him to lose before he meets Federer.

c'mon lindsay!!!!

You had a dream about Ferrero being in Federer's part of the draw? Wow you really live tennis huh?

lol...I have werid dreams though about stuff I dont' even like, like yesterday i had a dream that Gretel Kileen got run over by a car...if only.

Kim vs Lindsay in the 4th round why do my favs always face each other early.

Sharapova has the easiest draw to the semis...Petrova is the only other top 10 seed in her half. Yeh a real challenge. Hopefully Tati can beat her in the 4th round in the biggest upset of the tournament.

Hey Ferrero made the 4th round in '03..better then some players *cough* Roddick *cough* have done on their worst surface.

Kimmy is in the final of Eastbourne after defeating Sveta 6-4 3-6 6-4...that was about as close a match can get. Kim won 93 points, Sveta won 91.

Who I want to see win Wimbledon

Women- Kim, Elena, Nastysa, Amelie Lindsay or Serena

Who actually has a chance of winning- Maria, Serena, Lindsay (even though she has choked lately), Justine and maybe Kim

Men- Timmy, Juan Carlos, Marat, Mario, Federer

Who will win- Rogi

just looking at the draws... Navratilova is still playing singles, lol. She just wont give up.

also, poo in to semis, he might acctually get through a few rounds at wimbledon.
acctually mabye not, he plays safin in 2nd round, lol

For wimbledon, I think the men's final will be roger vs roddick
For womens I think, sharapova vs clijsters

Ohh Wimbledon has officially started! Yay!!

Myskina already lost the first set in her match. Poor Nastysa . Her mind seems to be in Moscow

 

[jm1234567890]

damn, still 1/2 hour till coverage.

yay, Poo vs safin

safin is going down!

good thing hewitt won't have to play blake.

no other real surprises so far.

 

[mizz_smee]

i love foxtel... they show tennis 24/7 basically...
imm so glad my dad connected in just in time for wimbeldon

 

[sarevok]

Damn...why does Wimbledon have to be on during uni exams? :'(

 

[jm1234567890]

poor henman

 

[Sweets]

Omg Justine lost! I wasn't expecting her to win the whole thing but a first round exit.

Tati lost too

 

[jm1234567890]

damn!

I didn't stay up that late.

I guess it is hard to go from clay to grass.

can't believe henman got through, he was playing the worst tennis of his life.

The poo vs safin match today should (hopefully) be interesting.

you think Andrew Murray will get anywhere? they seem to be talking of him alot.

 

[angelduck]

i h8 that roddicks match was on spo late at night/early in morning, stupid seven coverage

 

[mizz_smee]

reasons i love foxtel... andys match was on at about lunch time today!
love it tennis 24/7

go safin tonight!! dont want the poo to win! doesnt deserve it

 

[Jumbo Cactuar]

Haha, serves you right - Roddick is ugly and boring. Agassi did well not to come. At the Australian Open I traded some sucker 1 hours worth of Agassi for 3 cliffhanger matches.

I cannot believe Tim won ... disgraceful. I left it at 0-2 because I had a final today and was shocked when I found out.

"Safin is going down!". Hmmm, I hope you aren't putting money on that.

No I wont, but we will see

 

[Jumbo Cactuar]

No I wont, but we will see

I can't see any edge that Mark has over Marat.

 

[jm1234567890]

I can't see any edge that Mark has over Marat.

Mark has a better track record on grass. However, he hasn't played for a long time.

 

[Jumbo Cactuar]

Good point. There is a running gag about his performance on grass. I read in his interview he seemed to get the shits over it, though that is open to interpretation.

Q. For a guy who didn't like grass that much...

MARAT SAFIN: Jesus, how much you going to do?


Come on channel nine! The first set is almost over!

ShotTracker is nifty.

 

[mizz_smee]

and the poo loses... as predicted by most sane people!
