Hot off the heels of an amazing French Open, the men and women now turn to the grass courts of Wimbledon. Can Rafa continue with his momentum, or can Novak wrestle it back? Can Federer rise up and collect another slam? Can Murray get a breakthrough slam in front of his home crowd? Will there be a darkhorse shocker like Tomic :side: to come through and take the world by storm?
I'm thoroughly looking forward to this event, it's my favourite slam and I'm really hoping to see some great tennis on display. As far as the ladies go, you'd have to think Sharapova, Kvitova, Serena, Azarenka etc will all be in the mix, Stosur a slight chance provided she doesn't choke it up in monumental fashion, and well, who knows with the women, Wozniacki might even break through and break her duck.
She's the mum of our only player of note, does a ton of work for British Tennis development and has good relationships with the broadcasting stations. It's pretty easy to understand even if it's annoying.
Disappointing to hear about Robson. Don't keep up with the tour and players' form that much but read she had a big win against Radwanska recently so disappointing she went out early. Still, she's a young girl and realistically an error ridden performance like this is just as likely at this stage of her career as the tremendous performances she's delivered to gain some big wins so far in her career on tour. She's got the explosive shot making to trouble the better players and is very much someone who can compete with anyone when she's at her best and strking the ball cleanly. Her serving issues and occasional poor shot selection will hopefully be eased out as she matures and she grows from a promising player into a full fledged player with tremendous skill.
Caught a bit of the Nadal match. Brands looked lethal in the beginning of the second set with his execution but he was sadly another example of playing well to trouble Nadal but proving unable to sustain it consistently to close out a big match.
I hope Brands continues to play that sort of tennis this year. That way he can really climb up the rankings.
Wozniacki beat Robson fairly easily it looked like (although i didn't watch because of Brands). I thought Robson would beat an off form Woz, but sounds like she didn't play good.
Good match between Berdych & Monfils. Gael a set up & a break up
Woz played well. She's the worst possible opponent for Robson, perfect counter-puncher. Robson just continues to make so many errors. It's a pity because her forehand is awesome when it lands. So much power in it.
Sloane Stephens wore such a short number today it was hard to know where to look.
I really wanted to see the Monfils game but toally forgot :sad: Glad he is through though. Exciting player. Plus, the more French players to go deep, the better the atmosphere of the tournament.
Odds are shit but they're a treat during the early rounds when you can quite easily double your money on around 15 no chance matches coming through. Only need a couple more to double my £50
Said that so many times myself and one's almost always let me down. Stosur twice, Wozniacki at the US too. Good luck though man!
