Official Wimbledon Thread

Starts this Monday. Anybody gonna be watching? I could hopefully be going there on the Thursday.

I'll definitely be watching. I'm holding out hope that Roddick can get back to the final again against Federer if the draw sets up for it again. Blake is looking really good even though Hewitt beat him at Queens this last weekend.

[preppyak]

I'll be watching once the NHL and NBA Finals are over, and if there aren't any WC games on at the time...

Hopefully Roddick doesn't choke away early in a major tourney again

[El_Jeffe]

definitely be watching this
there may just be some pretty exciting upsets this year, couple players should cause some trouble

[fire on my lips]

I'll be watching. I can't believe it starts next Monday. Summer is going by so fast.

[xglassjawx]

Yup, and now I don't think I'll be going :(

I mean, the train is easy and it's not too far but if I have to pay for a bit of it, I doubt I'll be able to afford it.

Anyway, I've been in 00,01,02,03,05, so it's not like I'm missing anything new :) I doubt I'll go for the next few years as the novelty is wearing off a bit.

And yes Blake could cause an upset, he kept his head up well in the 1st set V Hewitt at 4-1 down and seems to play in a good spirit. And also, getting to the finals of a grass court tourney and beating Roddick on grass is great experience.

Henman also looked really good at Queens, he played well against Hewitt.

[fire on my lips]

hahaha Henman. Don't get your hopes up. Then again, the Rooney injury didn't stop the WC hype. lol

Atleast you've gone. I live like twnety minutes from where hte US Open is played, and every year I say I'm going to go. This year I was going to buy tickets and I found out I have to be at my college the week before. The college that I'm going to is five hours away, so I won't be going to the US Open this year (or the three years after that).

[xglassjawx]

Hahaha, 20 minutes. That's so awesome. I live maybe about an hour and a half away from Wimbledon haha. Seeing as Reading is right by (ish) London.

It seems like everything is "right by(ish)" London. The suburbs don't end until you hit Liverpool or Manchester. Lol.

the seedings are now official: http://www.wimbledon.org/en_GB/bios/seeds.html

[Tennischickx31]

i will definetly be watching. however, i dont have cable, or a dish, or espn, espn2, or the tennis channel. it agravates me.

[I am all talk]

My predictions:

Federer has this shit on lock.
Roddick will choke (nothing new).
Blake will lose in the quarters.
Nadal out in the second round.
Bagdhatis will have another good showing.
The women will not interest anyone.

[xglassjawx]

The last statement is wrong. I am intrested in Sharapova's ass and Anastacia Myskia :)

[xglassjawx]

Rain can fuck off and die.

[El_Jeffe]

damn rain is ruining everyones fun, last i heard federer was 1 set up before play was halted

[vandalsandquinn]

i guess ill give it a watch

[I am all talk]

Tomorrow my buddy robert kendrick plays nadal. This could be a huge break. Kendrick came in as a qualifyer so nadal probably isn't that familiar with him plus nadal has never been that good on grass.

[xglassjawx]

Yeah Nadal on grass will always be interesting.

And Henman got owned just now :(

I can't to see Murray tommorow(?) he looked superb V Massuu. He doesn't seem to be winging and complaining like a child now. I mean, it's OK to show emotion, just not like a complete twat. The guy's got a lot of talent.

If you don't mind I'd appreciate it if you lean your support to kendrick. He is the man. I've got to cheer for the guy since he went to my highschool (plus I hate nadal).

And I'm sorry about henman. I know how much he means to you guys. I love watching federer but I think seeing henman win wimbledon would be the ultimate joy for the UK and tennis fans everywhere.

Nothing made me happier than seeing murray beat hewitt in san jose earlier this year. I'd love to see him make another run at wimbledon but he needs to stop this "I hate playing on grass" bullshit. Wimbledon has to be your number 1 most important tournament.

[xglassjawx]

Haha, Murray hates grass?!

And the Nadal match will be shown live in about 20 minutes. I think it's 2-1 to Nadal first set.

And how can you hate Nadal!? He's easily one of the most entertaining players to watch in the entire game.

Sharapova fucking dominated her opponent earlier by the way, I'm thinking her or Henin-Hardenne would be a good bet to wiin the Women's.
