Another shock today at Queens with Tzonga being knocked out by Ivan Dodig! No one of any significnce left now. It's a bit of a weird year at Queens, the weather is cold and conditions aren't favourable to a good game of tennis maybe this is the reason the underdog is topdog (sorry) which I guess makes things interesting. Can't help wondering if Wimbledon will be much the same. Everything I predict goes wrong and the opposite happens so I predict Andy Murray will be absolutely crap at Wimbledon.
I'm not trying to justify Murray's poor performance and defeat in the first round (he lost, deservedly so) but I wonder how much his heart was in the contest? I suspect if he wasn't the title holder from 2011 he wouldn't have played Queens this year. I see Tsonga has a suspected broken finger and is a doubt for Wimbledon.
What a farcial end to Queens: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/tennis/18477767 and what a shame that it was the better player who "lost".

I think the line-judge and media made a bit of a meal of it. Did you see him hobble around looking at David as if he had slept with his wife and shot him in the leg for daring to catch them in the act? It was all a bit pathetic, especially when Sue Barker etc are going round saying that he was "seriously injured" and that there was an "incredible amount of blood", he scratched him a little bit for jebus' sake! It was a stupid thing to do, but he didn't mean to hurt the guy... What's worse is some ****-stirrer has called the police and tried to do him for assault. That investigation should take 1 second to be thrown away!
"Seriuosly injured" was a bit OTT I agree also the line judge got up and then thew himself to the ground which Ronaldo himself would've been proud of BUT to be fair it looked like a deep cut to the guy's leg and there was some blood. No he didn't mean to hurt the guy but what he did was stupid and there is no excuse for it - couldn't he have smashed he racket on the grass or hit a ball into the net?! There was no other decision to be made, it was the right and proper one. I think he would have won the tournament too, maybe next time he will think before lashing out. Damned fool!
Unfotunately the rules are set in concrete by the international governing body.....not by the local body.......which is fortunate seeing that he was an Argentinian.
