Tennis Wimbledon 2013

GermanF1 and then Dustin Brown ends up winning.

Dustin Brown is quite a revelation. Not all grunt and speed (which is why I hate women's tennis) and lots of finesse. There is a huge area between baseline and net and he uses it very effectively.

Does anyone know how the draw will work out now. If Murray and Novak keep winning I assume they will play each other at either the Semi final or Final ?? anyone ?

 

[Dizzi]

I think they are in different sides of the draw so it would be the final, a repeat of the US Open would be good for us Brits.
I do like Novak too though it would be a refreshing change for someone new to win.
Yesterday was just a great day for the neutral spectator, I only caught the highlights in the evening but I suspect I would've been glued to my chair all day at home.
If Serena & Novak go out today 2013 will be infamous.
Whatever the ins and outs there's been some cracking tennis played....and a return of the serve & volley game...hurrah!

GermanF1 so Novak in the top half and Murray in bottom half would mean they meet in the final if they both get there. yes. I think yes. Good. Thanks.

 

[GermanF1]

Greenlantern101 Yes that's how it could turn out. But Novak will crash out against Tommy Haas. So he won't be in the final

IF IT ALL GOES WITH SEEDING - ROUTES TO THE FINAL

MURRAY: 3 Robredo, 4 Youzhny, Q Monaco, S Almagro
DJOKOVIC: 2 Reynolds, 3 Chardy, 4 Haas, Q Berdych, S Ferrer

Suddenly, Djokovic's route is the more troubling!

Incredible Tourney so far. 7 Retirements yesterday!?!?!?! Big names falling by the wayside.

All because of the slippery surface right

 

[Jen]

Slippery surface = different tyres?

Lack of ability or experience?

 

[F1ang-o]

Lack of GRIP....

 

[ramilas1]

Too many more retirements and they'll have to merge the Ladies and Gents into one tournament.
And Serena would still claim her umpteenth title!

 

[Greenlantern101]

Novak and Marias boy friend doing imitation

 

[Greenlantern101]

Laura through to round 3. Played very well.

 

[Jen]

Alright for a girl! Would be even better if she realised there wasn't anything stopping her crossing the baseline though.

 

[Bill Boddy]

There's an invisible fence which exists in the minds of many players. Once they can break through it they suddenly start winning more points, it's just hard taking that first step.

 

[F1ang-o]

Andy is looking invincible......Great Win in three sets

 

[Greenlantern101]

Woohoo Andy through in 3.
2 brits in the second week.

 

[teabagyokel]

Murray's draw is really opening up, as well. Almagro lost one of the few games to be completed, so the next top seed in the bottom half remaining is 20th seed Mikhail Youzhny, who'll play Murray on Monday if he gets past Victor Troicki.

In the top half, Youzhny's seeding is beaten by not only Novak Djokovic but David Ferrer, Thomas Berdych, Juan Martin del Potro, Richard Gasquet, Kei Nishikori and Tommy Haas, so that looks by far a more troublesome half.

 

[Johnny Carwash]

Dustin Brown's been knocked out.
