Wimbledon

Come on Bartoli!

She's in a bit of bother though, did jsut hold though.

And good to see Mauresmo getting back into it.
 
Could you imagine if someone made racial statements about the Williams sisters or maybe Tiger Woods? He/she would be dismissed almost immediately.

He didn't make a racial statement though, did he?
 
Today is the day Ivanovic gets knocked out lads.

I really like the chinese girl Jie Zheng she is playing. If she turns up like she did in her last match she will be murdered.

Like Sharapova, Ivanovic's serve can go missing.

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
 

A modern day prophet. ;)



Mauresmo is in trouble, Bartoli out [nothing went her way and she was carrying injuries]. :(

If Ivanovic is knocked out today , well it's up to Jelena. Shame she isn't defending her Mixex Doubles titel IMO.
 
The comeabck is on!

For Mauresmo that is, she has one break back at least anyway.


EDIT: *clears throat* The comeback is over. At this more than any of the otehr Grand Slams , that is a loss.
 
I just saw that Tipsarevic has a pretty easy road to the Semis. Hope he takes that extra step up, he's very talented.
 
The quality of women's tennis is shocking. It's a travesty they get paid the same amount as men. It's like playing Conference footballers the same wages as Premiership footballers.

Sexist. I think you'll find equality means they have to get paid the same for playing less sets, providing less entertainment, and for bringing in less revenue through tickets and sponsorship.:rolleyes:
 
Ivanovic is out. She was shite today, seen her play far better. Zheng Jie was fantastic though, great little battler.

Great early call by Baz too,credit where it's due.
 
Out goes Ana. Women's draw is wide open. Agree there's a definite lack of quality in the women's game, especially after the departure of Justine Henin.
 
Sharapova and Ivanovic out, therefore I have no reason to watch womens tennis at all for the next week and a half. Womens tennis is fecking shit.
 
To be honest I'm glad Sharapova and Ivanovic are out. Not a great admirer out either players game. Both powerful women that look to hit through the ball, lacking any guile or finesse, and more importantly a Plan 'B'.

Yes but the actual technical side of the womens game is generally awful at the moment, so the only reason to watch it would be for the good looking birds. Now that theyre out I cant really bare to watch anymore of it. Less sets, weaker technical ability, less entertainment, yet they get equal prize money

Serena Williams or Venus Williams could put in about 60% maximum effort and win this comfortably, thats how rubbish the womens game is.
 
Not sure about your view but a sexist remark is just as harsh as a racial remark in my view.

Ah, fair enough, I misunderstood you. I though you were saying that he'd made some sort of racist comment. Yeah, still not a nice thing to say in all honesty.
 
Ancic is looking immense at the moment, he's hardly giving Ferrer a shot.
 
Ferrer just pulled one set back on a tie-break. Very good match.
 
Federer for mens with Nadal in Final

Women - Wide open. Like French I am going to stick my neck way out and give youse an unknown. - Agnieszka Radwańska of Poland.

Ranked 32 in world and has reached third & Fourth rounds in recent years. Also former Junior winner and loves grass. With so much shit ladies tennis on offer I think she might come through.

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
 
Alright, we get it
you constantly sit and watch tennis, follow all tennis news, stalk the female players, *** when you're right about something.

Well done :p

I'm going to tip... hmmm Billie Jean King for the womens and Sampras for the mens.
 
Roddick sucks, i can't stand watching him. One dimensional player with a big serve and no personality = extreamly boring to watch.

So glad the dog Sharipova is out, listening to her bark with every hit is like listening to someone scraping ice out the freezer. Horrible.

Murray played very well but Hass will be a much tougher game. If he gets through that then he'll probably go onto face Nadal in the quarters? Could be a classic.

I like him, from what I've seen of his interviews he comes across a very relaxed, funny, nice guy.
 
Gisela Dulko against Dementieva on court 2 right now

That American commentator in the Jankovic game is an uberspastic of the highest order.
