Murray is playing some beautiful shots
I really want to know what Tsonga was thinking, he seemed to have fun at his fail.
I would expect something like that from Monfils.

SHE'S MINE
He did it on purpose to extend the point for the audience. I'm guessing he already knew he wasn't going to finish the match but that's still just silly.
It's not like Sharapova was ever going to beat Serena.
Fuck Wimbledon and this slippery grass bullshit. At least Maria isnt injured. Go rest now.
Also, give Williams the title already.
John Dunbar
correct about everything
down side is that the one who beat sharapova is just as loud as she is.

Aww, now Serena won't be able to crip walk dance all over Maria's corpse again
Shocked to learn that Azarenka and Tsonga are both out too

So this Wimbledon has been absolutely nuts so far. I think I need to summarise all the crazy shit just to get my thoughts in order:
Injuries:
- Victoria Azarenka (Second round, withdrew because of a right knee injury)
- Marin Čilić (Second round, withdrew because of a left knee injury)
- John Isner (Second round, retired because of left knee injury)
And now:
- Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (Second round, retired because of a left knee injury)
Nadal out, losing to a man who also had to retire injured in the following round. Hewitt taking out Warwinka then dropping out in the next round to a qualifier. Sharapova, Errani, Kirilenko, Wozniacki, Petrova, Ivanovic all gone.
Federer's side of the draw was once a minefield with Nadal and Tsonga, Fed's kryptonite, has now been reduced to pretty much Murray being the only threat. Murray and Federer are both definitely in strong positions. Crazy how everything's been thrown on its head in a couple of days.

if nothing else at least there's going to be some variety in the quarters.
Definitely.
Over the past few years I've always been happy to see the same or similar results every grand slam because the top players are so damn good it's great seeing them duke off, writing history again in another epic tournament. But at this year's French Open, for the most part, I felt fatigued and bored of the same old thing. It seemed so incredibly predictable and lo and behold, everything unfolded as was expected without a hiccup.
It's as if the tennis gods have swiftly reacted to my fatigue and thrown a bucket of spanners into the works.
Dat serve and volley.
Now don't explode with joy, but he's already though to the 3rd round. How's that for some great news.
:lol
He's got a pretty good shot at meeting Murray in the Quarters now. Would love to see that matchup. Verdasco is gonna be tough, though, he looks like he found a bit of form.

Who's shoes? I'm at work so I cant watch
Federer's. They had a reddish/orange sole to them.
You guys head about Fed's shoes getting banned? lol
They look great though.
EDIT: Might be just a rumor =p
