Simply a great win for Andy in the last round against the 3rd seed and 2 times former finalist here, Roddick. So he moves into the 2nd week of a senior GS for the 1st time in his career.
Baghdatis as we know was lucky to get past Mackin in the 1st round but has picked up since then. Even though his 2nd round...
tough match for al, but at least he has played on the show courts before. he's his comments on the upcoming match:
But Bogdanovic summed up the mood that must prevail in the British camp. Yes he was full of admiration as watched Nadal win the French Open just two weeks ago but no he would not let hi...

Unusual to have any British interest in German futures, maybe someone over watching the world cup....
Anyway, he didn't last long:

Just to let everyone know what's happened to GC77 as he hasn't been around for a while:
He says that he's currently in Mexico for a few weeks, he's managing to check out the site most days but hasn't had enough time to log in and post.
He says that hopefully he'll be back in a couple of weeks
Well as you all know Andy finished off his 2nd round match today against Benneteau by winning the 4th set by ease 6-1. Now it's a whole different matter tomorrow when he takes on 2 time Wimbledon finalist Roddick.. As we also know Andy has already beaten Roddick before this season but was on the hardcour...
Alex Slabinsky has been competing in Holland this week, he reached the quarters before losing 4 and 2 to top seed Stefan Wauters who's ranked 251 and has done very well in challengers so that wasn't surprising.
2 more ranking points should move Alex up to about 570.
Alex's mobile hasn't been w...

Good luck to them.
Murray 3rd on centre, approx. 4.30 pm.
how do you think this going to go? if murray shows the form he displayed against massu then straight sets, if not then i think 4 sets will be enough to play roddick?
BTW Roddick played just enough to beat Tipsy so murray got a shot at him.
Edit: po...
Watching nadal and agassi match at the same time!
Agassi a set up and on serve in the 2nd
Some news from the womens, peng from china beat the 20th seed shahar peer from israel! nadal a set down against some guy name robert kendrick from USA
Robredo 2 sets down against djokov...
A really tough match for Jamie.. I really hope he can make a good account of himself in this match. But I think Grosjean is going to be a step too far for him.. So I'd expect it to be Grosjean in 4 sets at most but hope Jamie can maybe prove me wrong.. I'm sure a mod can make this into a poll if they want to..
Edit...
Andrew Murray is from a rich background like Henman which is not there fault but is not the rising star everyone really wanted to have a chance of winning wimbledon. This lad is grumpy, full of himself and expects everyone to worship him like he is god's gift. You walk down your local tennis club and its 4...
Lee won his first round match, against world number 114. 62 76(2) 76(4)
Nieminen is the 22nd seed. He won his first round match, against Marcos Daniel, number 80, 62 64 75
Who will win?
i know everyone looking forward to this match, last on centre court so hopefully a long hard battle! Its a pity henman won in 5 had it not been for his stupid mistakes that cost him 2 set points in the 1st set tiebreaker!! Ah well at least a win a win!!
Now then who you going to tip to win this match...
