Wimbledon Thread

[The Fear]

Hey, I've got a good idea, lets use this thread to talk about the tennis tournament being held at Wimbledon!

Anyone know when Murray plays his first game?

 

[Barney2004]

I miss the crazy gang

 

[sirdennis]

Murray plays tomorrow.

I think they will get promoted this season.

 

[The Fear]

yes, the clue was in the word tennis... :2: :17:

 

[sirdennis]

Lol.

I don't really take any notice until the second week to be honest , the first 2 or three rounds seem nothing more than practice matches.

 

[DeanoVilla]

Murray won't win. That's all I know.

Serena will definitely win the womens. betting on that is like printing money, but I've not checked the odds, bound to be unbackably short.

Djokovic, Williams double may be worth a flutter.

 

[DeanoVilla]

She's not unbackable amazingly. She is favorite but 7/4 is tempting. Djokivic is 6/4

Nice 11/2 double is tempting.

 

[sirdennis]

Is it wrong of me to say that Serena Williams does the trick for me ?

 

[Trekker]

Yes, yes it is.

 

[Pride of Lions]

I see Murray won yesterday 6-4, 7-6 (7-3), 6-4.

 

[Pride of Lions]

Murray comfortably through to the third round then. He beat Robin Haase 6-1, 6-1, 6-4 yesterday.

No such luck for Rafael Nadal though. He was beaten 7-5, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 by German qualifier, Dustin Brown.

Is it still going?

Some don't like the dress code.

Tough!

1.9m quid for the winner, STFU and wear the white shirt.
This aint America, we have tradition and dress codes.

 

[The Fear]

think they've gone a bit far talking about they soul of trainers and underwear etc but these folks are rich enough to be able to afford white. Or don't bother coming if you don't like it!


Missed both of Andy Murray's matches so far! Nadal exit a bit of a shocker, although he's not keen on grass courts.

 

[DeanoVilla]

Nadal exit not as shocking as people are making out. Thats 4 years running now he's gone out to players ranked 70 or higher.

Djokovic / Serena double still looking good. Wish I put more than £12 on now.

 

[chicovilla]

Heather Watson 1-1 with Serena Williams now, and broke serve in 3rd set!! Go on Heather! :31:

 

[DeanoVilla]

2 breaks up and she fucked it up......

Typical British bottler.

 

[chicovilla]

Incredible game.....heathers just broken serve again!

 

[thefacehead]

Here here superb spectacle, the irony of Williams complaining about noises during play, she screams like a wounded wolf half the time.

That's a shame, big ask now!
