TENNIS THREAD - Wimbledon starts tomorrow!!

[magimedi]

Am most excited & thought the grass needs a new thread.

I'll stick my neck out & say Fed to win the mens' & Carolina Plisshkova (sp?) for the womens'.

a little wibble there, but surely it will be wrapped up now - Dimitrov just hasn't had any consistency - too many shots into the net

I want Nadal to win so all of you super Rafa fans will be happy, but I also like an upset so kind of want Muller to take it. Don't kill me.

I'm not bothered about Rafa much - I want Roger to win :) - Dimitrov just gave in on that last game with barely a wimper

I see that Roger is through to his 50th Grand Slam quarter final. That's incredible.

"Let's go, Roger, let's go". He'll have a tougher time against the winner of Raonic and Sasha Zverev.

I wonder if they'll put Djokovic on CC next?

Well done Roger - not really enjoying the Rafa match - still a bit too close for comfort.

I agree creme men's tennis was a bit rubbish in the 90s - I liked the Lendl era but wasn't too bothered about Sampras, courier or even Agassi. I've enjoyed the Rafa/Federer era and hope it can go on for a bit longer

Rafa is definitely playing some great tennis now- and is bouncing around like he has only just started playing. He needs to hold here, or Muller takes it.

Has been a great effort , to draw back to this though.

Oh bloody hell. Vamos.

I take it back. His wee stressed face on that double fault. Come on, Rafa!

gah I have to go out in five minutes!

And that's why he's the champion he is. Impressive.

phew

I couldn't stand the dominance of Sampras- obviously the early 90's still had Becker and Edberg. I liked Courier,

Phew!! Thank goodness for that. 5-5. My nerves are not liking this.

Muller is making some incredible shots.

I got to really like Pete Sampras - apart from his tongue .. And I loved Edberg , but yes, such a lot of it was just enormous serve, win the match

Grouchy The only upset I'm interested in is Murray going out.

Eurgh- Pete's tongue. It gave me the heeby -geebies.

Finally home and able to watch the nadal match. So exciting!!

I have to go.......darn it ......

Glad I know not what you're talking about re the tongue.

Raahh I wouldn't be that upset if Andy went out before the final. A bit, but not massively.

I admired Samples on grass and his power was very impressive, but he wasn't very exciting to watch and he was awful on clay. Courier was great to watch on clay, but never a contender on grass. Agassi was good to watch on different surfaces, but far too inconsistent and prone to injury. Goran's personality and serve made him good to watch, but his groundstrokes were mediocre at best.

I don't know if we're going to have our omelettes tonight, as there's no tiebreak. I was going to make them after the Federer/Dimitrov match, but I've got sucked into this now!

Muller is playing so well.

Bollocks.

Rafa faces Murray in the semis- in theory. Murray needs to lose to Querrey.

A wee stumble from Muller here.

Grouchy you are lucky- re the tongue.

Becker also used to a strange thing with his arms where he seemed to be smelling his own armpits.

I am so glad I get to watch this final set. The baby might be late to bed tonight.
