Wimbledon

[yertle-the-turtle]

My predictions

1) It will rain.
2) It will rain even more.
3) Roger Federer will NOT win (hoho).

I'm really hedging my bets with that last one, but I have a funny feeling he won't do it.

Of course when he pulls up in the final and wins 6-0 6-0 6-1 I will look like a right idiot.

Who's gonna beat him?

 

[thetitans2k]

nobody

 

[bayernfc]

He's pretty much undefeated except on clay isn't he?

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

Who's gonna beat him?

I don't know. It's just one of those funny feelings.

 

[bayernfc]

As long as it's not a Sampras wanna-be. If I see another Wimbledon championship win simply by Aces...that'll be it.

 

[thetitans2k]

I like a dominant serve-volley type player. Its the nature of wimbledon.

Maybe Henman will finally pull one through.

 

[Salome]

I'm tired on jinxing my favourites (sorry Chech Republic) so I will keep my hopes and fears to myself

 

[U2@NYC]

Didn't you guys know?

Federer already won.

They are just playing it to keep the Dukes of Windsor busy for 2 weeks during the year.

Some interesting first-round ties, and interesting potential second-rounders too...

 

[Tilli]

The Brit players have got some terrible draws - I think Henman is due to meet Federer in the second round. Oh dear! Bye bye Tiger Tim!

 

[kellyahern]

Who's gonna beat him?

A Blancmange.


They mean to win Wimbledon.

This is a sad day for Tennis.

Andre Agassi, one of the greatest players in the history of the sport, and considered by many to be 'the greatest returner in the history of the sport', has announced his retirement effective after this year's U.S. Open. He's finally throwing in the towel.

I will be routing for him harder than ever this Wimbledon and U.S. Open. He's my favorite tennis player ever.

Good luck Andre

Exactly! You can't stop Federer on grass. My only hope is that he won't be playing Dickhead again in the finals.

If Henman ends up playing Federer in the second round...poor Tim! I always support him when the Wimbledon rolls around, despite his continual bad luck.

Are you that confident he'll reach the 2nd round?

 

[thetitans2k]

so much rain in England.

 

[vaz02]

when does tiger tim play?

 

[the rockin edge]

Day 2

Court 1 1.00 pm
Robin Soderling (SWE) vs Tim Henman (GBR)

of course that's assuming there isn't rain.

 

[the rockin edge]

why can't ESPN stay with one game for more than 15 minutes?

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

Henman wins, will meet Federer.

Incidentally I watched 'Wimbledon' (the film, with Paul Bettany and Kirsten Dunst yesterday).

I don't actually know why I mentioned that.

That movie was so bad.

I'm happy that Tim won today's match, but sad for him at the same time.

I just found the BBC interactive thingy for Wimbledon, and have thus effectively put my life on hold for two weeks.

I'm not really following Henman so much this year as I have previously. I'm more interested in keeping up with Murray

 

[zepher25]

im rootin for Hewitt and phillopoussis, and molijk in the womens draw.

Murray
I can never get bbc interactive (press red!) to work! Argh I'll just have to watch channel 1..

 

[susanp6]

Yay for Scotland's Andy Murray he was brilliant!!! A Scot to win Wimbledon!

I'm so sad that Timmy went out today though - he had no chance did he?

 

[vaz02]

tim didnt even stand a chance
