Think Henman said its only points punishment.

I really, really do hate it when the crowd cheers for an unforced error. When you're taught to play tennis, apparently it's really poor taste. When a British player plays at Wimbledon courtesy goes out the window.

Baghdad should take it to the corner flag tbh. He's getting pummelled here. Fake an injury or summin.

Well in Tim.

Job done.

A break here would be a bonus but not essential.

Murray's opponent should write this off and return to Iraq. Valiant effort but you need to do more to beat Rocky Balboa.

Murray against Cilic. Well he has gone out to him before I suppose (not that it was at Wimbledon).

Virtua Tennis 1 tbh.

Carlos Moya is a close enough substitute for Tsonga.
Tommy Haas guest starred as Kohlschreiber

I don't think I need to reveal who played the part of Murray.

Murray's inevitable concentration lapse in every match and his terrible break point conversion rate will continue to cost him.

He is the Arsenal of tennis.


Kvitova on Court 345 on Monday. :lol:

Surprised they even put her on centre on Tuesday.

Federer v Malisse is the worst of the semis, yet it's on centre.

Wimbledon organisers :doh:. The worst in the business by some distance.

McNamara That Ghost...
01-07-2012, 10:29 PM
At least Ferrer vs Del Potro is on one of the showcourts, though it might clash with Djokovic.

I guess Serena vs Miss Tipsy will be on BBC to start with so I'll have that on as my main focus. Probably stream Schiavone vs Kvitova.

Cripps_orig
01-07-2012, 11:59 PM
Dont think il be watching any of the Centre Court matches.

Sharapova takes priority over Federer. Then comes Murray which is a no brainer certainly over Ivanovic v Azarenka and then Ferrer v DP over a comfortable 6-3 6-2 6-2 Djokovic win

Your predictions of easy straight sets wins for the big boys/girls have been off the mark.

But considering Djokovic's record against Troicki, I think you've been quite conservative with the scoreline here.

Richard Lewis, chief executive of the All England Club, speaking to BBC TV's Garry Richardson: "I think it's extremely unlikely that we would schedule night sessions at Wimbledon. You take somewhere such as Melbourne - that's a city-centre location. Most people drive to the US Open. We don't have night sessions and there are no plans for them. The aim here is to complete the scheduled day's play by using the roof on Centre Court."


Richard Lewis, chief executive of the All England Club, speaking to BBC TV's Garry Richardson: "Early starts are a possibility. But we do get complaints from people travelling from all over the country who can't get here for a 1pm start. You've also got the situation where there is wear and tear on the court. And Centre Court is the one which is subject to more play than any other. We play on grass; it's a natural surface but there is wear and tear."

Wimbledon stuck in the dark ages :rolleyes:

Also the people can leave earlier then. problem solved

Tbf you've had plenty of shockers. Some i laugh at, like the 2 shots thing cos they are so ridiculously wrong but most of the times i just ignore it cos when someone is wrong as many times as you are, it gets boring laughing whereas when youre hardly wrong as i am then i can see the point in laughing at me cos its a rarity so you are right this time, il let you have your day in the sun
