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.
Federer's beating total chumps though tbf. I mean the guy he played yesterday was more interested in playing trick shots by the end of it than actually taking a set. He'll always come through comfortably against these guys unless he meets one who has a big game and is ON IT like Stakhovsky.
Yeah but hes been playing much better than he was a month ago, I mean in Hamburg and Gstaad, he was struggling against the lower ranked players, plus he was having some back problems so seeing him winning comfortably is good to see.
Would love to see Evans get past Robredo and knock Federer out. If he serves well then he's got a great chance of getting past Robredo and then who knows vs Federer.
Would be fantastic for Evans to get a grand slam match against Federer, really good experience for him. Hopefully he can come through Robredo. Pity for Robson today, but the first set from her was a disaster, and while she improved in the second set she couldn't take advantage of the Li Na short lapse to take the second set. Li Na played really well, served really well and was really on point with her shots making very little unforced errors and hitting winners when they were on.
Argh. I missed Sabine vs Makarova due to work & apparently it was a good match. From what i read, Sabine played like shit in the first 6 games, but woke up & it became an even contest from then on.
But now i got Del Po-Hewitt & Shvedova-Serena to look forward to
Got the job done in the first two sets but was in "pusher mode" for the majority with Mayer hitting about 50 UE. Actually thought he played better after going a break down in the third but Mayer was playing some great stuff himself and managed to save a number of break points to see out the set. Andy was immense in the 4th though, hitting winners from all angles and dragging Mayer all over the court. Hopefully he plays like he did in the final set from the start in the next round.
That was the worst peformance have ever seen from Slava
Terrible, just terrible. I am seriously pissed off at her for that. If she made 100 UE's going for it, at least i could appreciate her going for it. But she made a load of UE's playing gutless tennis.
I have never seen her like that. She's played like a mug in the past & choked a lot, but at least she had guts. I preferred her choking to what she displayed today. No fight, no aggression, just shit.
Didn't expect to see Hewitt beating Del Potro, good news for Djokovic though as his quarter final was looking likely to include Del Potro. Great for Hewitt though, he puts on an entertaining match that's for sure.
Murray didn't play very well yesterday, his serve was all over the place. But he came through it which is most important. Hopefully he improves as the tournament goes on and plays himself into form as based on current performances, Djokovic is looking more impressive of the two on that side of things.
^ No it doesn't. Berdych is still in the draw and he causes Murray a lot of problems & has a winning h2h against him. Don't overlook him, and don't bring up the 5 sets argument because in 5 sets they are 1-1.
Berdych has looked very ordinary against very lowly ranked guys so far. I'll be very surprised if Berdych beats Murray on Ashe. Assuming Berdych even makes it that far. On his day he's capable of beating him but that day isn't often enough and Murray is normally tuned into GAME MODE by the Quarters of a slam.
On his day? He's 6-4 against Murray, so that day has come more often than not against Murray. He's also gotten through in straight sets in every match so far, whilst Murray dropped a set to Leo Mayer.
I'm failing to understand why you think it's a formality that Murray will beat Berdych. Berdych won their most recent meeting, always causes Murray problems & has beaten him more often than not.
I'm not saying Berdych would beat Murray, but it isn't a formality like your making it out to be. & anyway, if Berdych is the only one that can stop another Murray-Djokovic match, then i really hope he does.
That was incredible to watch, vintage form he was showing today. He forced Del Potro into playing bad.
