[Jay Sosa]

you're not Peru! Boooooo.





great Op, nice job

and btw: If anyone has a chance go and watch it live, a really beautiful tournament with pretty moderate prices. Especially compared to the French Open. Even the waiting wasn't as horrible as you would imagine.

 

[Certinty]

Federer vs Nadal QF is gonna be good!

Murray for the title anyway!

Will go one of these next few days and get a ground pass, usually go to a few days at Wimbledon but am saving my money as I'm going to the US Open.

 

[Ape Gone Insane]

Federer has to get through Murray and Nadal to get to the final. Djokovic's toughest opponents, in his half, are Berdych and Ferrer or Del Potro; he got off pretty light.

lucky bastard. One day I wanna go the the US too. And yeah ground ticket is awesome I couldn't believe how much value you get for a mere 20 pounds or so. Plus it's way more fun watching matches on small courts.

 

[Deadman]

Tough draw for Federer but if he won it would probably be his most impressive slam victory.

 

[Maleficence]

Come on Murray, this is your chance!!

Spoiler

He's not going to win is he?

 

[zero_suit]

Djoker, Nadal, or Murray will win it.

 

[barrbarr]

This is always my favorite tennis tournament. I really hope that Murray can bring home the gold this year.

 

[Sax Russel]

Poor Fed. That's what he gets for squandering his good RG draw =P

Well, he's obviously not going to make it, and it's hard to root for him if he's playing poorly too, sooo ok. Gooooooo..... Djokovic? I suppose. Yeah. Anyone but Murray really.

 

[NihonTiger90]

Great OP ... and I still hate that ESPN has broadcast rights.

Give it back to NBC so we can has the awesome music again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAUfEwkaIUE

Why? I love how he plays on grass.

 

[Nemo]

Oldboy Fededer can take this. QF vs Nadal will hopefully be the best match of the tourney

 

[CrashBandicoot]

AAAAAAANDY.

Also Wozniacki because

 

[Sax Russel]

Why? I love how he plays on grass.

Well ok, maybe not anyone. Wouldn't want, say, Berdych to have it over him.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Would be interesting to see Sharapova come up against Serena again in light of the comments they've recently directed towards each other.

 

[inm8num2]

Come on, R Fed. Win one more!

 

[Reyne]

I have pledged my fealty and is loyal only to the One True King of Westeros Wimbledon...

Spoiler

Roger Federer!

 

[zero_suit]

Would be interesting to see Sharapova come up against Serena again in light of the comments they've recently directed towards each other.

Not really.
Serena is much better on grass than clay, and we saw what happened at the French Open.

 

[thefro]

Not really.
Serena is much better on grass than clay, and we saw what happened at the French Open.

Sharapova still has a better chance on grass than clay, IMHO. The longer the points go against Serena the more likely it is that Sharapova will screw up a shot.

 

[Saty]

So what's the deal with the recent Williams-Sharapova smack talking?

 

[Shagwell]

Holy shit, I had no idea it was so soon.

Hyped.

 

[Niraj]

I'm going to be out of town the second week so chances are I'm going to miss a lot of it Go Fed (sigh)

 

[Vivalaraza]

So what's the deal with the recent Williams-Sharapova smack talking?

Serena made some comments about an un-named player and how she can "be with the man with the black heart" and some other shit, sounded quite petty.

Apparently she's talking about the guy Sharapova is with now, Grigor Dimitrov, that's what Sharapova thinks anyways.

So Sharapova replied saying Serena should think about her own situation and how she's with a guy who's leaving his wife and kids. Then for good measure she called out Williams for the stuff she said about the rape case.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

COME ON MURRAY

Fuk da h8rz

 

[Wilbur]

Was in Wimbledon today and they're putting all the shit up, big arch thing when you come out of the station. Gonna try and get there once or twice over the two weeks.

 

[Wes]

Is that the image I made from when I used to make the Wimbledon threads? I think it is.

Did you look at past threads or happen upon it by random?

 

[John Dunbar]

Djokovic lucks out again, smh.

 

[Wilbur]

Djokovic lucks out again, smh.

I have no idea what it is about Djokovic (and by all accounts everyone loves him off court but I don't follow tennis that closely), but I just can't stand him. I think it's his action man hair, he just looks so generic as opposed to the lovely hair and headband combos of Federer/Nadal.

Anyway I want Federer or Tsonga to win as usual, but Murray would be nice as well. Just not Djokovic.

 

[Wes]

Before anyone says "WTA sucks", why no mention of recent Women's championship history or even this year's details in the OP?

 

[brokenbeans]

C'mon Henman!

 

[mcfrank]

Before anyone says "WTA sucks", why no mention of recent Women's championship history or even this year's details in the OP?

I like the WTA, but not much to talk about other than Serena being the favorite by a mile and catty interview comments about who people are dating.

 

[The Last Wizard]

Holy crap this is this week! I totally spaced.

 

[TetraxShards]

I always enjoy Wimbledon. A Federer or Murray win would be lovely.

 

[mcfrank]

The draw is so easy for Djoker it literally makes me sick.

 

[LuuKyK]

Subscribed. Rooting for Djoker and Sugarpova as always.

 

[Diprosalic]

After this draw i'm kind of glad i have finals the next two weeks. Last year was awesome though, last final next day federer beats djokovic and then murray.

 

[Batigol]

Shame Nadal won't be able to beat Fed in the final again

 

[Reyne]

Shame Nadal won't be able to beat Fed in the final again

Not Fed's fault Nadal didn't make it past the 2 round last year

 

[Batigol]

Not Fed's fault Nadal didn't make it past the 2 round last year

Touche my friend. Touche.

For real, genuinely sad they won't meet in the final. Seems a waste to have a match of that calibre in the quarters

 

[mcfrank]

Side note: I am going on vacation to Santa Rosa, CA for July 4th weekend. Anyone know of a bar near there that might open early and show the finals on Sunday?

 

[szaromir]

*subscribes*
Please win the title Roger or Andy!

 

[Gawge]

Villains of the next Avengers film revealed.

 

[cdkee]

Roger has the hardest draw...Nole with probably a straight path to Finals.

 

[phaze]

Go Fed ! One of your last shots at it ;(

 

[Dark Rider]

I want Nadal to win this won. Vamos Nadal

 

[Hoodbury]

Wow, I forgot Fed won last year. Seems a tough draw for him so not going to have too high of hopes for him.

 

[tycoonheart]

Federer has to get through Murray and Nadal to get to the final. Djokovic's toughest opponents, in his half, are Berdych and Ferrer or Del Potro; he got off pretty light.

About fucking time. Dude seems to always get the harder draw.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Simona Halep is entering Wimbledon on a 10 match win streak. She has won 2 consecutive WTA tournaments. Look out Serena!

 

[tycoonheart]

Can't stand him? Wtf. Probably the only tennis player with a personalty since Agassi. Most of the players are so fucking boring.
