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.
Yeah i have the same exact feeling . Even though she's my favourite player, i do have a a big doubt in my mind. I've gone on a limb and said she'd prove me wrong and get to the Quarter Finals, but like i said, i have a bad feeling about this tournament. The prediction is more out of optimism than a feeling or thought
Hope she proves that feeling wrong and gets to the 4th round at least
Slava!! Beats King in straight sets 6-4,6-2. Almost made a meal of it, but pulled through. Marry me please???
She looked good at points. Some really good winners from her. Her backhand is great when it's on, one of the best shots in womens tennis. A few errors though, which she needs to sort out, but a good victory. Cute hug at the end too
Does anyone else bet in play on the Tennis matches? It's really addictive but if you're smart enough there's some really quick and easy money to be made.
Ivanovic was in beast mode today. Shame she'll be in WOAT mode in a few days though. Easy to knock the quality of the womens tour right not but it does make for a more exciting slam than the mens pre semis as literally anyone can lose to anyone quite conceivably whereas with the mens there's a pretty big gap between the top 10 or so and the rest. Raonic having a difficult 5 setter will only be good for Murray if he has to meet him.
Yeah, the Raonic match was good for Murray. I think the quality of the womens game is fine. Obviously is not near the standard of the mens game, but you can get some good matches in the womens game. Like you said, it's also really competitive, because near enough anyone can win at any given time.
In other news, Nalbandian is apparently out of the US Open. Replaced by Serra. Easy win for Del Potro i think
I didn't see Djokovic. Did he play really well or did his opponent suck really bad? No major shocks in the mens so far. The closest has probs been Monaco getting dumped out this early. Womens have seen quite a few seeds go out in round 1
TBH,i think the only person i expect to stand in the way of Djokovic making the final is Del Potro. The winner of that QF will make the final imo.
I'm a bit annoyed that Fed is not on today. There is nothing that really interests me about todays draw in the mens now Del Potro has a new opponent. I'll still be keeping tabs on the matches though.
Kerber has saved Germany though. I think all the other German women have been sent packing early. The womens game is really unpredictable. If it has anything over the mens game, it is the unpredictablity of matches and tournaments.
Oh, and Team Smile is back in the doubles tournament. Not on a show court though
Only simple Quarter is Federer's. Be an upset if anyone in his Quarter beats him. Other Quarters could easily go one way or another with Murray/Tsonga, Ferrer/Isner and Djokovic/Del Potro.
Ferrer through in straight sets. Azarenka likewise in the womens. No real shocks as of yet.
Shvedova/King won their first round doubles match against Hercog/Klepac 6-0,6-1 Awesome start for team smile.
Federer with the easier quarter, but is more likely to have a stronger semi final opponent, while Djokovic has a hard possible QF, but an easier possible semi final. Murray has the hardest quarter overall i think
Tipsarevic just come back from two sets down to level it up. He better pull this out. I've got an £100 accumulator with him in it, and after Wozni-crap-i last night I'll be fuming if he goes out.
Isner through in 4 sets. Guess what? He won 2 more tiebreaks.
I also just read an article online, and Shvedova sounds like she feels guilty for beating King. Slava apologised to her at the net. Don't be sorry, you did what you had to do to go through. Vania seems happier about losing, than Slava does about winning.
Holy crap at the Robson/Cljisters score right now. Didn't expect that when I put the tennis on. Come on Laura!
