Wimbledon

[I Don't Need A Name]

Im suprised there isnt a thread on this
predictions for the wimbledon champion?
i would say Federer or Nadhal.
however, we cant rule murray out, not if he keeps playing as he is now.
best game of tennis ive ever seen!

[Psychotic]

Federer looks to be in fine form. He demolished Hewitt today in straight sets. That was impressive right there.

[charliepanayi]

I can't see past a Federer v Nadal final.

And after years of having to endure people going 'Come on Tim!', now I have to put up with the same fuss over Andy Murray *rolls eyes*.

[DK]

Federer wasn't even playing his best today, and Hewitt has been worthless for ages anyway. Still, he's the man to beat. Nadal looks to be the only one with the chance to do it as well, though still think it's easily Federer's game.

Really don't like Andy Murray either, dunno what it is about him but I just can't ever get behind him.

[charliepanayi]

It's not Murray I dislike really, just the endless tide of expectation and stuff that comes with these British contenders at Wimbledon.

[Sergeant Hartman]

That Murray - Gasquet game was pretty awesome.

[Vivisteiner]

Im a HUGE fan of Arnaud Clement, the world no. 145. I was so shocked though to see him reach the Quarter Finals at the age of 30. Its so awesome.



Murray match was awesome. I missed the Ancic-verdasco one though. :(

[I Don't Need A Name]

i would agree that there is too much expectation over british tennis.
but murray is playing better than henman ever could

[charliepanayi]

Well no, as much as I thought he was overrated Henman made the semis at Wimbledon a couple of times. When Murray does that or better than he will be a better player.

[I Don't Need A Name]

murry could still make the semis though.
albeit, beating Nadal will be difficult.

[charliepanayi]

Nadal wins in straight sets, he's a class apart from most aside from Federer really.

[redxiiii]

Gay!! murray got batterd :(

[Vivisteiner]

More importantly, Clement is one set all against Schuettler.

If Clement gets through, Nadal doesn't stand a chance. From the back of the court, shot for shot, Clement is the heavier hitter.

[Heath]

Man, Murray got owned. I didn't really expect him to win, but I thought he'd give Nadal a tougher time than that.

[charliepanayi]

More importantly, Clement is one set all against Schuettler.

If Clement gets through, Nadal doesn't stand a chance. From the back of the court, shot for shot, Clement is the heavier hitter.

I think Nadal would have to be heavy favourite whoever he faces, on this form only Federer and maybe Djokovic can really touch him.

[Vivisteiner]

^Haha, I wasnt being serious.

Despite my Clement fanboyism, he is ranked number 145 in the world and he hasnt done anything of any note in the past few years. If he were to beat Schuettler and then Nadal it would be a miracle. I would never live it down if he won Wimbledon. His odds of winning originally would have probably been 5000 to 1.


Anyway, it was funny that Djokovic got kicked out early since everyone was bigging him up after the Australian open. It seems that a Federer - Nadal final is inevitable. Maybe Safin could do something...

[I Took the Red Pill]

I wish that Safin could make it to the championship, but anyone who expects anything other than a Federer-Nadal matchup is deluding themselves. There's still a small chance that I'm praying on, though.

I'm so glad Murray got completely annihilated. I mean, sure, he had a nice comeback against Gasquet, but just because you can win the crowd's favor (on your home smurfing turf, big feat you've achieved there), you're not automatically given license to be a pompous winner. Very glad Nadal put him in his place. His girlfriend was hot though.

[DK]

Nadal man, so god damn stoked. Proved me wrong and I am so happy for it. Great game of tennis, second best Wimbledon Final i've ever seen. Great stuff

[Dreddz]

That was sick.

[I Don't Need A Name]

gah. im saddened that Federer didnt win. i will give it to Nadal that he played the better tennis today, but i really didnt want him to win xD

[Vivisteiner]

Oh my smurfing God.

What an amazing final. So smurfing amazing. Brilliance. Sheer brilliance.

[Sergeant Hartman]

So glad that Nadal won.

[Cz]

I don't normally watch tennis, but that was an amazing battle, and I was gripped by the end. I'd rather have seen Federer win, but it's hard to begrudge Nadal his success considering some of the astonishing moments he had.

[I Took the Red Pill]

Easily the best match I've ever seen. So much so that it compelled me to play tennis for two straight hours afterwards. I was rooting for Nadal the whole time, so I'm glad he pulled it out in the end. I'm amazed at how neither of them were noticeably fatigued by the end of it.

[Gogo]

Well, Venus won for like the fifth time or something, so grats to her. I would've liked Sharapova to win, though. Also, Nadal beat out Federer in the final, which kinda sucks. I like me some Federer!
