Can't wait for Robson's match with Sharapova tomorrow. I think she'll shrive against another big-hitter. Shara won Wimbledon at 17 as a pretty much unknown - so who knows what could happen? :lol:

What ya talking about Welshie, it's gripping. Especially with the racist crowd. :lol:

Welshie, what match were you watching - that was terrific earlier.


Jo-Wilfried Tsonga - what an amazing professional. If every player in the mens game were half the role model he was, tennis would be laughing. Outstanding individual.

Spoke to Tsonga briefly yesterday as he left the practice courts. He was the only male player all morning to stop and speak to anyone and sign autographs as he went back into the changing rooms.

Nadal, Murray, Berdych all looked like the most miserable people on the planet.

Two years in a row I've sat next to Roddick, Inser and their team having breakfast on the high street. I was more interested in his wife than him.

I reckon he'll get to the final. But he'll lose to either Federer or Djokovic. However he is playing really well at the moment so he could surprise everybody and win if he gets to the final.

I must admit, I've enjoyed watching him, which surprised me because I don't usually enjoy many of the male players, he's winning me over.

I still kinda hope that he wins something else though, not Wimbledon, purely because I know the press will go mental if he does win here.

I think Murray has a chance for sure.

Hope Kvitova wins the womens since she is the best player left and I hat Sharapova with a passion. The standard of the tennis is so bad in women's tennis these days though.

Since Ana got knocked out, I've wanted Tsvetana Pironkova to win it.

If Nadal retires then Murray will be odds on for the final. And once in a final anything can happen.

I reluctantly agree with Marty's fyp. Murray needs to stop bottling it on the big occasions. He is good enough to win this thing.

I don't know if it's true but apparently Nadal has posted on Facebook (is it really him though?) that he will be ok to play.

I think he does have an official facebook that has been quoted in the press before.

I'm not really a Murray fan, but with 99% of the crowd behind him in a final it could happen.

Although I would love to see him get to the final and see all the press hoohaa about it, his mum crying, people having street parties and then see him lose is straight sets to Djoko.
