[Archived] Wimbledon 2013

Perfect apart from that silly grunting ! Less frustrating than footie, less cheating and great to watch.

I think Nadal's knee is knackered, two sets down in the first round

[ABBEY]

Best part is watching the grass grow .

[T4E]

Nadal out. Good news for Murray, would rather he got Federer in the semi than Nadal. All road to the title go through Djokovic given the draw he has.

Hope Robson and Watson can make an impact tomorrow.

Hate tennis with a passion, all the more so since my husband loves it and keeps trying to persuade me it's great. I understand that these guys are very fit and technically brilliant but it doesn't stir the blood like football does and don't get me started on women's tennis.

Annoying sour grapes from Kirilenko, you lost love, be gracious.

I'm not so sure whether Laura will go much further as she's still learning her trade, but a great win today.

Kirilenko 'I was aching all over', classless. You lost, off home now.

[ABBEY]

Talking to yourself Nick lol

Second week Shaun, you'll see

[ABBEY]

Was in DW earlier and one tv had sky news on , another Jeremy Kyle and the other to me to you.

There was not one viewing tennis and Kyle .

What's with all the injuries this year?

Murray going to win by default

That's my line and I'm sticking to it

[Mike E]

Loved the way Brown beat Hewitt. Good on ya lad!

[T4E]

Federer out in the 2nd round.

Murray vs Djokovic final odds on. Sadly I'd have to think Djokovic is favourite there.

Djokovic not entered this year ?

[T4E]

Having to beat Djokovic can never be called "by default". He's a level above everyone currently. Would be amazed if he doesn't make the final.

Genuinely think that now Murray knows he can beat Djokovic and can win at Wimbledon will help him. He's had an incredible year and I think it's a matter of carrying that momentum through.

[Guest Norbert]

If Murray doesn't win it this year, with all the shocks and injuries, then I doubt he ever will.

[T4E]

Not buying that Norbert. Doesn't look like there will be anyone to break the Djokovic/Murray dominance on grass over the next few years. My worry is that Murray lost to Djokovic in their last big match, and has lost in slam finals to him twice now. I guess the counter argument is he beat him on grass in the Olympics, but that was only a 3 set match.

Looking at the draw more closely, there's a few more hurdles for Djokovic left than Murray - Del Potro, Berdych and Ferrer will all cause him problems. Interesting 10 days ahead for sure.

Looking forward to watching Laura Robson later, she's lost a lot of matches that she should have won this year, hope she avoids that today.

Djokovic is a genuine sporting superstar - one of best tennis players in the world and speaks fluently in 5 languages. His command of English is better than most native speakers. He's just that little bit better than Murray at present - it will be a big surprise if he does not win the title.

Surprise yes, big surprise no. Murray is seeded no2 for a reason.

Murrays passage to the final, should he make it should be easier, that may make a difference too.

Don't forget the tights!

Tennis is OK, but not one of my top sports to watch.

[adopted scouser]

Well done Laura, put us all through it there !

I'm not a big fan of tennis myself Nick but for some reason this year I've enjoyed watching the Brits. I've forgiven Murray for his anti English slant and today watching Laura was fantastic.

That was overstated anyway. He and Tim Henman were joshing each other and the media turned Murray into some kind of pariah.

If he was anti-English, why would he sing the national anthem? Esp as it contains the line 'rebellious Scots to crush'.
