Tennis Wimbledon 2013

[Jen]

She needs to watch the chaps who use all the court and then try to emulate that finesse.

 

[Johnny Carwash]

Greenlantern101 Laura Robson has to sort out her serve which then could be a very potent weapon for her.

 

[Brogan]

Andy gets annoyed if anyone says he's English.....

So he should, he's Scottish.

I always correct people when they say I'm English.

 

[Titch]

I thought that both the semi finals today were brilliant. We haven't seen anything like it in years. Unfortunately Jankowich (??? Spelling) is such a big server, when he becomes a more seasoned player, will take us back to the days of boring tennis.

 

[Titch]

So he should, he's Scottish.

I always correct people when they say I'm English.

It will be wrong to say he's British soon.

 

[Mephistopheles]

So who is prepared not to watch the grand prix in favour of the wimblebum final?

Or don't they clash?

Some of the trolls on the BBC sport article regarding Murray's win are painful. "Only won the US Open because of the wind which affected Djokovic's power play". lol wut?

Number of male Grand Slam winners north of the border in the last seven decades: One
Number of male Grand Slam winners south of the border in the last seven decades: None

How can wind only affect one player? They both use the same court, what is it I am missing, or are the tennis WUM's out in force....?

 

[F1ang-o]

Jancowisz 6ft 8 ins.......... Murray 6ft 3ins..
After the match, when they were shaking hands with the referee.....he seemed to tower above Andy...

 

[Bus Stop Chicane]

Fair play to the crowd though they really helped pull him through that third set when he was 4-1 down.

 

[mjo]

I heard the annual Wimbledon joke on radio 1 today .
Great win by Murray, and despite the shocks, the best two players in the world will play in a mouthwatering final!!!

 

[Bus Stop Chicane]

Jancowisz 6ft 8 ins.......... Murray 6ft 3ins..

That'll probably be the extra 5 inches

 

[F1ang-o]

Right on....
But height didn't seem noticable during the match......

 

[Bus Stop Chicane]

You're quite right in a sense. I used to think Nadal was a right short-arse. Was shocked to find out he was 6ft 2ins

Grand Prix starts at 1pm will take about 1 and a half hours baring disasters. Tennis starts at 2pm. So at least a half hour clash. I think I will stream the tennis on the laptop and have the F1 on the TV.

 

[The Pits]

I think I will record them both, and watch them when I get in from the bloody office.

Edit Beans ....?

 

[Bill Boddy]

There is just no doubt, F1 first and foremost.

 

[Jen]

Me too, Bill Boddy.

If there is a safety car in the first half hour, I will flip over and watch the men's final. If there isn't, I will have missed 30/45 minutes out of at least four hours.
