WIMBLEDON 2012 PART 2

[MrsVamos]

Here we are, a new home for the second week.

Rafa will be sorely missed.

Rooting for Roger.

Could there/will there be more upsets ? If last week is anything to go by, is this years Wimby anyone's for the taking ?

I think Sue is talking bollox. Ferrer had a brilliant clay court season, and has played really well here so far. Talk about bias !

Here we go !

Vamos David !

We have Macca ! At least it will offset Andrew Castle's bias for Murray.

They are too biased against Murray it bugs me.

Vamos Ferrer (testing new nickname)

MrsV- before the match, they were discussing how Ferrer isn't as tall as Murray or Dickdjok, so would suffer against their serve- which is bollocks, since he thrashed Del Po

OOh Raahh ! New nn. V. naice.

See, I must have had a premonition that maybe Rafa would not be around.

The bias. That's a little bit why I hope he loses. So they all have to eat their bloomin words AGAIN.

Hang on, Murray is 6ft 1, and Ferrer is 5ft 9. So not that much taller, really.

I think they are way underestimating Ferrer. I also think Ferrer is far more likely to go to 5 sets and win than Murray. He has more staying power.

What's Andy moaning about now?

The crowd was laughing at his grunting.

If he's not careful, he will lose the crowd, and I bet there's a lot of fans like us, who because of Rafa's absence, are supporting Ferrer.

I sooooo hope this goes 5 sets.

Wimby really need to get some linesmen who can SEE.

Murray's rattled already ? Oh dear.

No- 5ft 9 is not exactly short (I am 4ft 8- it is possitively gargantuan to me)- but they have to find a way to make murray the favourite. I love the way ferrer plays- he is like a dog witha bone, and chases everything. They were saying last night, if Nadal was not in the picture, Ferrer would be far and away the most popular sportsman in Spain.

That was MILES out sort of even i could see that. Murray is pissed off by something.

How come it's OK for Andy to do it, but when Rafa complains he's a bad loser ?

If anyone saw Rosol's match against Kohlschriber, it was like a different bloke playing. No jumping or spinning or anything. Rafa had a point about him doing it to put him off. Oh, and what I also found amazing, was that the lad did not spit once.

I have suspicions.

Murray hates it if he feels the crowd aren't 'with' him. That's why he hates playing Rafa. He knows that unlike earlier rounds, not everyone wants him to win.

I imagine Ferrer would be yes, as well as Fernando Alonso, and the footie team ! There are some great spanish sportmen, who I always support, if our English lads are out of the equation.

*sportsmen, sorry.

Um, I think I'll leave this thread.
Not getting this hatred for Murray.

The Spanish do seem to be taking over the sports world. which is nic

I'll go visit Rafa, if he likes. Mennorca is nice this time of year, i could massage his tendons.

LBE, I don't hate him, I just don't support him. All we are doing is discussing reasons why.

Murrays doesn't exactly endear himself to people does he ?

Hi Maryz.

Murray may still do it yet. It's just that the BBC have been so biased towards Andy, we are just redressing the balance !

Ferrer shouldn't be written off, he deserves more respect than that.

Tsonga is 3-2 up, 1st set, going with serve.

Allez Tsonga !

Who would you have supported if it had been Tsonga V Rafa ?

Allez Tsonga- I'd love to see him in the final

Federer/Tsonga
Federer/Ferrer final- though that might be a bit tongue twisty
