Yettie One Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 99 Miles an hour on a backhand return. Heck Rosol is making Nadal suffer in this final Set. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yettie One Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 That is one of the most impressive matches of tennis I've seen in a very long time. Rafal Nadal, the number two in the world, with 11 grand slam titles is dumped out of Wimbeldon by Luke Rosol number 100 in the world. For the first time in seven years, Nadal exits a grand slam in the second round after a four hour five set match up! That was stunning, well done young man!

Former Member Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I watched that game and I think that Rosol is quite cute too in a quirky kind of way Love from Joey~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddydavek Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 It was a shocker! Now if Rosol can pull off another win against a strong opponent, it won't be a one-off fluke.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill W Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Could this be the start of the changing of the guard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 He's got the skill, the power, a killer serve and the stamina (the guy barely broke sweat!). But it's more than that, it's also a mind game. If he can he maintain his cool as the pressure cranks up he deserves to be in the final Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill W Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 What a day at Wimbeldon. Roddick gets bounced, Serena moves on and Cilic defeats Querrey in a marathon match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 Maria Sharapova has been knocked out. Hooray!! The shrieking grunting scream queen was recorded in 2005 at 101 decibels. That's enough to cause hearing damage It's a tiresome tactic. Pity the tennis authorities are too feeble minded to penalise it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramon Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Azarenka is still in though so the shrieking will still be there. And wasn't there a plan to stop them from going to loud that was just proposed a week or so ago? Only catch on that one was that it doesn't really start until 10-15 yrs from now. On the men's side, it seems like Federer is having some back problems. That probably won't be a problem against Youhzny but hopefully he can play well during the semis.

Yettie One Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Sooooooooo Andy Murray made it to the quarter finals for the fifth year in a row, when it wasn't raining! I must admit it is looking like an interesting year this year. A number of big upsets, always makes for a bit of a mix up in the end. I can't say I'll miss the grunting though. It's the biggest put off when watching women's tennis, I really can't stand it. I do love to watch the Williams sisters tho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJH Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Im also following wimbledon....gosh i hope it knows where its going. Looks lost....lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yettie One Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) ROFL Louis you crack me up! hehe. Rain interrupts play again grrrrrrrrrr. Federer is looking ok though. No signs of back giving him much trouble. Edited July 4, 2012 by Yettie One Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill W Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 (edited) For all of you doubters, Murray made it to the semis and will face Tsonga. Will he make it to the finals? Other semi - Federer and Djokovic. Will Federer overcome his recent string of defeats to Djokovic? Edited July 5, 2012 by Bill W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yettie One Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 (edited) Hmmmmm he certainly didn't make reaching the semi's easy for himself. I just hope he's not too tired to see off Songa. Federer is looking good though. Djokovic had a few wobbles early in the match against Mayer, so maybe there's a chance for Federer to put the pressure on. Who ever makes it through, we got a couple of cracking games on now! Edited July 5, 2012 by Yettie One Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 Realistically I think this is Andy Murray's last chance to win Wimbledon. In fact, his last chance to win a Grand Slam. His age will start to count against him now and younger players will be coming through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddydavek Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 (edited) Federer up two sets to one in the semi's agains Djokovic. It's been a really fast paced match so far! Federer is up a break in the 4th. Federer wins! Edited July 6, 2012 by Daddydavek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daddydavek Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Andy's third set was shaky. It would be a real morale booster for the Brits if the Scot were to win! Especially with the Olympics getting set to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yettie One Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Both players are going to go for broke. Andy Murray is out to be the first Brit to win Wimbledon in 76 years, and Federer is looking to match Pete Sampras and William Renshaw's record holding seven titles at Wimbledon. So I guess they both got something big on the line to play for. Hmmmmmmmm, This could be a pretty exciting Match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
