Wimbledon

[Pesam]

Actually I have little interest in tennis and won't watch very much of it it but was rather amazed to hear on the radio just now that for the first time ever (in over 130 years of Wimbledon) there won't be a single English player in the men's singles!

 

[Richey]

Gave up on watching tennis years ago but yeah that is a bit of a shock! I know English players are shit but surely we must have one who can at least play and get knocked out in the first round!

Should we really be hosting one of the biggest tournaments (at least I assume it is?) when we are so bloody awful at it?

I was just about to ask if Murray was injured...

But then I realised he was in bad form.

Murray is playing but the emphasis is ENGLISH players as opposed to British.

 

[Squiggles]

Whoosssssh

 

[SaintGeorge67]

British if he wins, scottish if he loses.

 

[SummerOnions]

Surprised Evans didn't get in as a wildcard. We've got 2 women in the singles i think.

 

[Squiggles]

As if anyone's going to notice anyway

I miss Henman now, it's a shame he's associated with being such a loser - it's pretty harsh considering he spent his career in the top ten.

Meh.

 

[EmreChan]

Who cares about Wimbledon when there's football to watch.

2-2 now pads, he will win this easily in the 5th

When you play the top boys as an outsider you have to win 3-0 while they are rusty, if not they always come back, good try by the fella though

 

[Stulikesdrums]

Game going on at Wimbledon right now and it is 56 games all in the final set.
It's the longest game in history.

 

[mike2903]

The deciding set alone is already longer than any 'match' ever played

 

[keniget]

10 hours of tennis and postponed at 59-59. Mental!

 

[TheFasterBlade]

That is absolute fucking madness.

 

[livvy145]

Finshed 70-68 in the final set- Isner won

Remarkable

 

[FoxForceFive]

11 & a quarter hours. Almost 200 aces in total.

MENTAL.

 

[Rosco]

Get your money on Isner being knocked out in the next game

 

[FoxForceFive]

This Nadal Haase match is immense.
