Wimbledon 2013

[Monatsende]

"Old fart" Thommy Haas for final! Please.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Y'know with all these big name players getting knocked out Murray needs to be careful that the same doesn't happen to him, he's got a banana skin of a match against the 32nd seed Robredo tomorrow...could be dangerous....

....more players have retired hurt during their match today, bringing the total to 11 so far..

 

[PeterJB]

You. You did this.

I fear that the Tennis Gods are trying to trick me by seemingly acknowledging the conditions of my request for a final without any of the usual 4 and then coming back and biting me in the ass by giving a Murray a free Grand Slam.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Djokovic is having a tough time so far in his second round match as well, he's only just won the first set on a tiebreak and its one-all in the second, he's up against Robbie Reynolds...

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Well done to Murray yesterday! Fantastic performance and will face Youzhny Monday...

Also well done to Laura Robson! into the last 16 for the first time she lost the first set but came though with the crowd right behind her 1-6 7-5 6-4 👍

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Robson got knocked out earlier by Kanepi 7-6 7-5 and she looked a little below her best

Murray on court now against Youzhny won the first set and the second has gone to a tiebreak...

 

[Blitz24]

Serena Williams is gone now, bounced by Lisicki. Sloane Stephens is the last remaining American and she advanced to the Quarters to play Bartoli.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Murray wins the second set on a tiebreak, he was 5-2 down in the set!

 

[Ross]

Murray wins the tie break on the second set 7-6 to go 2 sets up.
And Murray wins the 3rd set 6-1 to get to the quarter finals

 

[MUSC4EVER]

And hes done it!, 6-4 7-6 6-2...hasn't dropped at set yet...

 

[TyrrellRacing]

Not looking good for Murray...

I very much doubt he'd have beaten Djokovic anyway.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

I know, Verdasco is looking good out there...Murray needs to focus and get on it...

He takes the third 6-1...that's a third of the job done

And he gets the fourth...

 

[Blitz24]

Verdasco has lost. Complete collapse.

 

[Ross]

Murray through to the semi final. The atmosphere inside centre court was incredible.

 

[Omnis]

Sabine Lasicki = thunder thighs. Mmm mmm. And she's playing dynamite too.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Great match between the two! 👍

Really happy for Lisicki...

 

[Pagey279]

Del Potro is such a beast, he's gained a set back (which is the first set Djokovic has dropped in the tournament). He's a great player to watch, a great match too, some of the rallies are epic.

 

[Pagey279]

Apologies for the double post but if anyone is bored at the moment I urge you to turn on Wimbledon.

2 sets a piece, Del Potro saved two match points and went on to win the fourth set. They have been playing for four hours too.

The commentators are hailing it as one of the best matches of all time.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Im watching it, its fantastic stuff!

What a match by two incredible players!, Well done to Djokovic..

 

[Robin]

Closing the roof, just when thing's were going Murray's way. Well we will see how this pan's out in 20 mins time.

The commentators are hailing it as one of the best matches of all time.

The greatest match of all time has to be the Federer Nadal match the last year before the roof, they played pretty much till it was dark.

Sabine Lasicki = thunder thighs. Mmm mmm.

Om nom nom nom

 

[Ross]

That was great to watch! Unfortunately, I missed the Djokovic v Del Potro game.

 

[marxlien]

janowickz's serve is a cannon, but he fails it too much.

good match

 

[Ross]

janowickz's serve is a cannon, but he fails it too much.

good match

Yeah, he makes way too many double faults. I think about 40-50 overall in that match.

 

[mattythedog]

It was overall a great afternoon of tennis.

 

[Ross]

It was overall a great afternoon of tennis.

Indeed, I can't wait for the final on Sunday.

 

[Yukon]

That was great to watch! Unfortunately, I missed the Djokovic v Del Potro game.

Aw, man, it was awesome. Such excellent play by both players, shame I only caught the last set. Can't wait for the Final.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Great day for tennis yesterday, and Bartoli has beaten Lisicki in the ladies final to win her first grand slam, she did it in straight sets, she had too much for Lisicki today...

 

[Robin]

Yeah poor Lisicki, luckily she managed to pull some of it back at the end but her nerves seriously got to her at the start and then it was too late.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

I felt sorry for here as well, she makes to many mistakes (similar to Janowicz in a way)...she's had an incredible tournament though!

Looks like the mens final will clash with the end of the grand prix!

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Mens final has been on for just over 2 hours, Murray won first set 6-4 and is now serving for the second 6-5..both players are caked in sweat its around 30c on court and Djokovic has complained to the empire 3 times over missed calls hes pretty furious!

He wins 2nd set 7-5! so he is two sets to love up 6-4 7-5...just one more to win his first Wimbledon title!
