From the BBC: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/8117604.stm Hope he doesnt he is not finished with singles IMO. And the piece ends with some drivel from Tiger Tim I am shocked to say as I was a big Tiger fan when he was playing but what is he saying...give the WC's to younger players who can get t...

3rd match on Centre Court, after Venus and Roddick. They have met 3 times before, with Andy winning all 3, but they haven't met since Miami 2007. I think Andy has improved a bit since then , I'm not sure Kendrick has - and after all he is now pushing 30. If Andy doesn't win this I'll eat my hat.
I wanted to make new threads for all the 1st round matches (singles wise) for the Brits at Wimby if thats ok. Just to give them a bit more space rather than trying to find what people said about a certain match in a clogged topic about all of them. Anyway Josh plays Llodra today on Court 2 later on. Yosh has a h...

A great chance for Ward to finally show himself to the world I think. He's had some results at Queens which is big, but now its Wimbledon. Im hoping he can push the spaniard on a surface hes not best comfortable on, but then again neithers Wardy. -- Edited by spud on Monday 25th of April 2011 06:05:55 PM
One of the most worrying things so far this year is that while Andy has been able to string wins together in the optional events (which might have lulled him into a false sense of security?), he's not really got anywhere in the events that matter most. The % of his total ranking points a player gains in the...

Having "retired" last year at ATP Rotterdam, Raemon Sluiter has a chance 18 months on to win his first ATP title!!! At the age of 31, he's ranked 866 in the world, having reached a couple of futures finals this year and a semi final, but got a wild card in to Rosmalen. And he's reached the final a...

Can't wait for it! Anyone here going to see any of the matches? E&W are in the same group as the Netherlands and Pakistan. Netherlands won't be that easy since Dirk Nannes will be playing for them and Ten Doeschate is quite good. It's sad that Eoin Morgan will not play for Ireland any more. Of cours...
