Rosol hitting absolutely everything at the moment and goes a set up against Rafa, fun match of tennis to watch so far

You are deluded if you think Federer will lose today, Muller is one of the most one dimensional players on tour I honestly don't give him a hope today.
You mean Rosol playing how Rosol usually tries to play
.. Be interesting to see how Rafa responds. He should take it out of his hands and be more aggressive.You mean Rosol playing how Rosol usually tries to play
Haha yeah pretty much, he was there for the taking in the first few games but he's really grown into the match now. Still fully expect Rafa to take this
Getting very interesting now, breaks to love
Normally you'd think how long can he keep this up but we've all been here before and seen he could

I said this last time, but this guy is going to start missing soon and Rafa will come through.
It's not so much "can he keep it up".. It's more the fact that they have seen Rafa look vulnerable on grass for the last two years. Doesn't put as much pressure on Rosol as say someone being up 2 sets to 0 against Rafa at the French or even US Open. The belief is definitely there. In saying that, I am sure Rafa will get a look at some point in the next set and a half and it will be interesting to see whether he steps up and takes it.
The main question here is, when does lisicki next play? <3
Hahaha whats up with the Lisicki obsession on here? So many cuter ones out there. Check out Donna Vekic
There should be an Ivanovic obsession...
She is all sorts of lovely - but to be fair so is Lisicki! To be honest I thought Mr Mcilroy was on to a very good thing with Caroline Wozniacki!
Last time Rosol beat Nadal in 2012, did he not lose in straight sets in the following round to Kohlschreiber? Sure I heard that on Radio 5 at dinner.
No one likes a game raiser!!

Well that's that then
Double fault to lose the set.
Comfortable win in four from here. He's already started spraying the ball around the place wildly, in between some decent points. Nadal will just grind him down now.
You're not wrong.There should be an Ivanovic obsession...
I've obsessed over her way too long. Before last years Wimbledon that's for sure!
I think she has the everyday girl look, and is all kinda of crazy cute.
Also, her legs are wonderful, they're magnificent.
This is lisickicaf, not vekiccaf or ivanoviccaf.
I guess you like slightly thick legs huh.. She is a cutie though for sure, just not near the top ten of my list.
Lisicki wins in 2 sets. Ah may this joyous time of year continue
Federer is looking ridiculous on his serve.
Easy win for Federer, he's still great to watch.
Watching Wimbledon after French open feels so different. It is like balls move in 'fast forward' mode after serves/shots
Is Isner and Nieminen's 32 consecutive points to the server some kind of record?
Venus Williams should retire imo. Either she loses as soon as she faces a decent/good player or sometimes to random players early in rounds.
Lisicki <3 vs ivanovic today.
Ivanovic is favourite too, if she wins I will smash something up. I don't understand how ivanovic is always seen as a favourite. Everytime I watch her she is useless, looks like someone who belongs lower down the rankings. Obviously she must be a good player but I've never seen it. She's a weird one.
Anyway, COME ON LISICKI!

Take away Wimbledon and you could really say the same about Liscki.
Although I'm hoping she wins today.
Lisicki is very very good at Wimbledon........but like @Sweet Square has said Lisicki is terrible for the rest of the year.....she isn't even in the german Fed Cup team
She also thinks she has made it
Actually the grass of Wimbledon is a lot slower now than it used to be. Courts are more generic in general these days.Watching Wimbledon after French open feels so different. It is like balls move in 'fast forward' mode after serves/shots
I always thought the US Open was the quickest court - something to do with the ball travelling a lot quicker through the air. It always looks the quickest to me anyway.
Ridiculous return.
Maybe it is being done on purpose because of more baseliners coming into the game and lesser serve and volley type players around?
Tendulkar's looking good.
Of course the surface was slugged to suit the top players. No more Roscoe Tanner upsetting them with 150mph serves.
Indeed. Or to encourage it to be that way. I disagree with it though. They've gone top far the other way.
Seems like it's Nadal's turn again to win this.
Sad though. The surface shouldn't be changed. Players should adapt their game to suit all types of courts and move closer to become all-court player.
I think at most a slight slowing down could have been done but it's become ridiculous. I can't see serve and volley working for a long time. The game is now tailor made for baseline slugfests. I'd love for the courts to get quicker and have a better balance than they do now. Would encourage different styles rather than just one.
Ivanovic and Lisicki on one court together? Oh lord
Serena's out
