The Tennis!!!

But do you not think Federer or Djokovic have it sewn up? Normally would have added Nadal into that, but 1) he's out, and 2) his knees clearly giving him grief.... Tsonga could well be in with a shout as well this year...

Is Evonne Goolagong in it this year?

In what? the mud wresting or the tennis?

I don't think Federer has it sown up - I think he's finally showed his age this year and isn't quite the player he was. Murray has finally beaten him in a slam and beat him over 5 sets on grass at the Olympics, so he's not scared of him.

I think it could be an outsider for a change if it isn't Murray or Djokovic.

I can't see Ferrer winning but someone like Berdych or Tsonga could.

Not holding out much hope for Murray(and I don't really like him any way.... Think, "whoever England are playing" and this kind of sums him up.

He is Scottish though, and rightly proud of his country. I never quite understand why the English can't seem to grasp this.

no doubt the ladies will be grunting loudly

Our local rag (Eastern Daily Press) covered this in today's cartoon!

It's exactly the same with the english, i know a rangers fan who wouldnt wear a kilt cause hes not scottish, hes brittish, i've since slapped him cause although he is brittish he is also scottish

Murray is the best hope of having a brittish champion any time soon thats for sure

So the England team that are more than likely going to win The Ashes this summer aren't British?

Well done Laura Robson for beating the No 10 seeded!!!!! Excellent match.

 

[Col5632]

BOOO!!

Yeah i know, just keeping the rest of britain happy

All said though, been a good afternoon of tennis today. The Djokovic match was really good, shame it was over in straight sets!

They are English and therefore also British; but when playing cricket for England they are representing ENGLAND, not Great Britain.
When Andy Murray plays tennis at Wimbledon he is only representing Andy Murray and no specific nation, so you can take your pick whether he is Scottish or British, as he is both.

Isner is out injured after only two games.Shame the way he went but if I'm honest I don't enjoy watching his type of tennis, he bases his game on a good service and very little else in all other departments. If he wasn't so tall his service would have more merit I guess.

Dustin Brown, a qualifier, is playing the match of his life against Hewitt and keeping everybody entertained - what a refreshing player Brown is.
