There is a Tennis thread somewhere, I'd post in that but I'd just be talking to myself, same with the Cricket thread too. Can't see this getting much action but if people actually post in here I'll be back.

I await the day we have a final without Nadal, Djokovic, Federer or Murray.

There was a Wimbledon thread last year 👍

First day of Wimbledon I completely forgot if I'm honest until I turned the TV on earlier.

Federer is looking really good, he made absolute mince meat of Hanescu. It didn't look like he was trying, at all!

Also Azarenka's fall was pretty savage, it almost reminded me of Owen's twisted knee type fall from a few years ago. But fair play to her, she is carrying on.

Murray 4-1 up in his first round match v Becker

Nadal is really struggling against Daris, he lost the first set on a tie break and wasn't doing much better in the second either!

OMG!!! Darcis beat Nadal in the first round!!! 7-6 7-6 6-4, Nadal out early for the second year running!!!

Murray 4-1 up in his first round match v Becker

Nadal is really struggling against Daris, he lost the first set on a tie break and wasn't doing much better in the second either!

OMG!!! Darcis beat Nadal in the first round!!! 7-6 7-6 6-4, Nadal out early for the second year running!!!

Not only out but in straight sets? Wow, he's losing it a bit.

I feel slightly sorry for Nadal, it must be hard to play with a constant knee injury. Not that I take anything away from Darcis, he played really well. I imagine its one of the best moments of his life.

 

[Ross]

I heard something about the winner of that match faces one of the big ones. Am I right?

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Not only out but in straight sets? Wow, he's losing it a bit.

I know! its a shame that we don't get to see Federer-Nadal in the quarterfinal but it makes it a little easier for Murray, who is comfortably through in straight sets...

 

[PeterJB]

With Nadal out I predict Djokovic, Berdych, Ferrer, Del Potro, Wawrinka, Federer, Tsonga and Murray for the quarter-finals.

 

[Pagey279]

Not only out but in straight sets? Wow, he's losing it a bit.

His performances have tailed off a bit, but he has been dogged with that knee injury for a while now. However he did win a record 8th French open this year along with some other minor tournaments, so I don't think he's losing it just really hampered by injuries.

 

[marxlien]

i just realized that wimbledon started.when i saw in the news.that Nadal lost.in 1st round, unbelievable!!!

I really hope that RF wins this year.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Laura Robson has just beat the 10th seed Kirilenko in straight sets! 👍

 

[mattythedog]

It's looking good for British hopes this year.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

It's looking good for British hopes this year.

We had 6 players out yesterday and Watson got knocked out earlier!

 

[ASH32]

We had 6 players out yesterday and Watson got knocked out earlier!

It was to be expected though, only Murray and Robson are any good.

 

[Akmuq]

It's looking good for British hopes this year.

Don't British people say that every year?

 

[MUSC4EVER]

So I just got in from an interview at three and they are saying that 6 players including Cilic and Tsonga have retired during their matches! whats going on???

 

[Ross]

Don't British people say that every year?

Well we need some optimism

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Sharapova out!!

A very strange day today with all those players retiring, im gutted for Steve Darcis, who knocked Nadal out he was one of the players...

 

[Lizard]

I am currently cheering for Stakhovsky. He has a chance of winning against Federer which would be a real achievement for him.

Never heard of him before but he is playing very well.

Needs to win it in this 4 set or I think it'll just be a stumble for Federer.

 

[Lizard]

Federer is out!

Brilliant game.

 

[Danny]

I await the day we have a final without Nadal, Djokovic, Federer or Murray.

You. You did this.

 

[mattythedog]

That's incredible! Two of the giants out in early rounds.

 

[Aldo]

Good to see my mate getting through in the doubles. He's also pairing up with Laura Robson in the mixed.

 

[marxlien]

why Roger, why!"

 

[lbsf1]

Wow, crikey, seems like all the big guns are falling. Still don't believe Murray could do it though, when have us Brits every got lucky in sport anyway.

I'll just be cheering on the lower ranked player I each match.

 

[Pagey279]

Well with Federer, Nadal and Tsonga gone, Murray vs Djokovic final?
