    Hope not. We wait years for a home win, I can wait a bit longer for someone who isn't so dour, and can not rap.

    RF for me. My man crush :emoticon-0152-heart.

    Am very good on tennis betting & my bet for tomorr is this.

    £50 Double on Feliciano Lopez to beat Gilles Simon & Sam Querrey to beat Bernard Tomic. that returns 138.88. very easy 88.88 profit.

    I just don't much like the fella, nothing against his will to win or ability etc. Similar with Nadal. I just find those two players hard to warm to. If Murray wasn't British would we hold him in such high esteem? Doubt it.

    I'm going for a Murray/Djokovic final, if the draw allows it. Otherwise, <doh>.

    No one following the women?

    I find them really tedious.

    Fedex turns it on for Wimbledon, he's unplayable at times in this competition.

    He's my shout pre-tourney and I can only see his competition coming from the usual suspects; Murray and Djokovic.

    I'd prefer Federer to win because I like witnessing new records, he can make history and make it 8 singles titles and I think that's fitting as he belongs on his own, at the top. He'd have beaten Sampras in straight sets every time if they were both at the top of their game in a match. I have no idea who the other guy is, but he was born in the 1800's and played in shoes and trousers, I'd like to think Fedex would have minced him too.

    Why the hell do so many spectators at these events sit there with their arms folded and not show any appreciation for the efforts of the players..It's like half the fans at the SoL at one of our games!

    Laura Robson doing really well against world No 10. Set up and 4-3up. Rather she win than the Jock. No offence to Jock's

    Have you seen how fit Kirilenko is? I would smash her all over the place.

    Nadal is an absolute top bloke, how can you not warm to him?

    Coming back from a career ending injury (still might be) and winning the french open for god knows how many times is a great feat.

    Not only is he gracious in winning but what a guy in defeat, refused to blame tiredness or his knee and congratulated the other guy to the rafters.

    He will be back as hes great to watch, remember Nadal vs Federer in that epic? 2 tennis gods battling it out.

    I find all four of the top players likeable in their own ways.

    Support Murray though and was good to see Robson win.

    Its not that I can't exactly warm to Nadal, I mean I appreciate what he brings and what he does, its just I much prefer watching Federer- like a swan landing on water.
