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'.

DD is reading her own bedtime story tonight.. it's good practice for her

C'mon Rafa... although I think Muller has played outstandingly well. And earlier, they were saying he'd been on the tour 17 years!

It's quite something to have been playing so long, and only recently won his first tournament.

great serve!

ahh, i re-sets now....

It has been a fantastic match. I just wish it didn't have to involve Rafa!

Come on Rafa!!!

It reset at 6-6 as well. Every 12 games then after that

Result here: I managed to talk DS (14) into cooking pasta! YESSS!

Djokovic must be fuming in the locker room, waiting for this to be over. I can't believe they didn't put him on CC though as soon as Fed's match was over. The schedule will be messed up now, when all matches could have been completed today!

wow , oh wow - just got back in, never ever expected it to be still om

Arghh!

But what a match.

Wow. What a match.

wow again ....

Poor Nadal. Muller deserved to win though.

Feck

Poor Rafa - it just seemed inevitable really - fair play to muller though. The rest of my Wimbledon won't be the same now

It could well have wiped out Muller for the next round - physically and emotionally though

That loss is in no way the same as his losses to Darcis or Rosol- but it won't stop Sue adding it to the 'list'.

More annoyingly, it means Rafa won't get to number one yet. But he's still way ahead in the race, having already qualified for London weeks ago. So that's something.

Wow, wow and wow! Can you believe it? Muller had a huge advantage serving first in the last set, but how he held his nerve, I simply don't know.
Amazing tennis.

Muller plays Cilic next, I think, who is definitely in great form, and bea him at Queen's. It was close though.

Why didn't they put Djokovic on when the other match finished? Crazy, will give him something to moan about ...

What happens to Djoko's match? I take it that will get rescheduled for tomorrow?

Muller is 4 months younger than me and has been on the tour for 17 years, which makes me feel kind of old.

He won his first tournament this year. It's a great story.

Bagel yy, Nadal constantly coming from behind was no helping my nerves at all .

And yes, if only they had shut the expensive roof on Centre, Djok would probably have been able to easily finish his match tonight.

Rafa will be back. I never give up on him.

Bagel it's probably a lot darker than it looks on the tv, so not worth starting it.

But if they had closed he roof on Centre....!!
