Re: Official Tennis Discussion Thread
Murray played well today and managed to come through what could have been a very tricky match quite comfortably. Federer had a bit of a struggle, as is Tsonga right now, he's looking a tad shakey.

Re: Official Tennis Discussion Thread
Radwanska exit isn't really a shock. I guess it's an upset in the sense that 8 or 9 times out of 10 she would have won. 1st round exit sounds worse than it is. Isn't like losing in the 1st round of a Grand Slam. It's only a 64 person tournament. Georges is 15th seed based on points just this year and isn't like someone massive rank outsider beating her. Probably be hyped as more of an upset as well because Radwanska got to the Wimbledon Final where in reality she was overachieving anyway. Not like Radwanska played poor to lose. Good, close match.

Re: Official Tennis Discussion Thread
Tsonga made a meal of it, but he pulled through.
Shvedova through in straight sets 6-4,6-2

Re: Official Tennis Discussion Thread
Sharapova won easily. Hope she wins the whole tourney. Djoko did not had it easy against Fognini. He lost the first set. I am bit surprised Murray won comfortably. I though Wawrinka would make it tough for him.

If she lost in the round 3 or quarters I would not be surprised but she lost in round 1. I would not say she was overacheving in Wimbledon tbf. She is no.2 in the world for a reason. The opponents she faced to reach the final were not so tough. I don't know if I am wrong but Sharapova and Stosur were in her draw and they were eliminated early. Maybe that is why Radwanska reached the final.

Neither is Shvedova
Seriously Sharapova is my favourite female tennis player so I obviously would want her to win. She is awesome.

Shvedova will knock Maria out, just watch
Sharapova looked good today though. Easy win. If Lisciki gets through, then Maria will have to face Lisciki or Shvedova in the 3rd round. It's going to be tough for Maria. I think, who ever gets through that 3rd round match is a shoe in for the semis.

Re: Official Tennis Discussion Thread
I don't really like Maria. Her personality rubs me the wrong way. She looks moody all the time. She plays good tennis though
