    Default Wimbledon 2013

    Starts today!

    Not sure if there any other Tennis fans here or if I'll be on my lonesome but I am excite! I used to queue up overnight on the first Monday to get tickets for Centre Court on the Tuesday (until I had to move to Ireland of course).

    Could this be the year Murray wins it? Or is it Djokovic all the way? Will Nadal come back hard? Will an upset happen in the womens draw or will Serena win for sure?

    I can't see past Serena in the women's tournament. As for the men's, it feels pretty open between the main three or four players, Federer is past his best now, but I can still hope he wins another Wimbledon!

    It is surely Tim Henman's year.

    Nadal is currently down two sets to none. Let's see if he can avoid an embarrassing 1st round loss. Amongst the top guys I'm always rooting for Nadal, so

    Nadal, Fed, and Murray are all in the same half of the bracket though. Should be a cakewalk for Djok to reach the finals.

    Really as long as Murray doesn't win it I'll be OK with the result.

    Through that Darcy bloke right? I AM surprised. That Darcy is a rank outsider, ranked like, 100th or so in the world.

    Nadal did have his knee problem though.

    Just need Djokovic and Murray out now to clear the way for King Roger!

    (watch Federer go out now to someone else)

    This may sound very un british of me, but, I just don't want Murray to win. I find him hard to love.

    Well damn. I guess I'm rooting for Tsonga now.

    Actually not liking your best player is very British indeed!

    The documentary the BBC did the other night might change your mind.

    I was really surprised to hear that Nadal lost. I know there were circumstances that changed the way he had to play and I'm impressed Darcis found a way to capitalize on those changes so well, but I'm still surprised.

    I've never liked Andy Murray for being a Scotch but now I see that some of you don't like him I'm going to have to be contrarian and start supporting him.
