    I don't really follow tennis,but that was some win against Nadal. The Aussie's used to dominate the sport,particularly the men,so is this guy the real deal,or a flash in the pan? We'll know this time next week,I guess.

    I know some people who feel the same way about the world cup coverage.

    "Each to their own",and Wimbledon only lasts for two weeks.

    Love tennis especially Wimbledon, Now the most boring sport for me is Golf, I can tolerate the Ryder cup to a degree but to watch or play normal golf is so boring..<ok>

    Would always respect any sport that someone enjoys watching. Football is my passion but I do love Wimbledon and have been there on many occasions, it's a great day out for anyone who loves tennis or even just fancies seeing a different sport but be prepared for a long wait in the queue unless you are lucky enough to have a show court ticket via the ballot system.

    Grigor Dimitrov blew Murray away today, no real surprise to many and certainly a player who will continue to improve and overtake the current top four before too long. Several youngsters coming through such as Raonic and the wild card Kyrgios who beat Nadal, great to see they seem totally uneffected by their prestigious surroundings. The ladies event is very open this year with several of the top seeds already out, could be anyone's title with Canadian youngster Eugenie Bouchard a new face on the scene who could make a name for herself.

    The new youngsters have been outstanding and it's seemed a change of the guard but I can't believe the way the King of Grass is playing here.
    Federer looks like he's rolled the clock back 10 years. A truly supreme athlete and a privilege to watch.

    He's been hailed the heir apparent to Federer for some years now and today he showed why. He looked exactly like Federer the way in which he executed his shots.

    Yes Roger is the ultimate grass court player, still looks so elegant yet can strike some amazing winners and seems to have found a new lease of life.... maybe because his wife has just had a second set of twins and he needs the prize money to keep his family in the style to which they have become accustomed.:emoticon-0105-wink:

    As for Grigor Dimitrov he will be Wimbledon champion one day I have no doubt, he has it all and certainly has won a few admirers particularly amongst the ladies for his good looks as well as his tennis...

    Interesting to see others' preferences for sport. Cricket's the one I can't get into.
