Queens Day 5

Good morning tennis fans. This is squeaky bum time for those wanting to make a statement on the grass. Today's schedule is:

Verdassco v Roddick 12:30pm Centre Court
Ward v Querrey 1:00pm Court 1
Murray v Cillic to follow Verdassco v Roddick
Nadal v Tsonga to follow the above match
Ward or Querrey v Mannarino to round things off

Can Ward possibly cause another major upset? The match is going into a deciding final set. For British Sky viewers on Monday on Sky Sports News at 7:30pm is a special report on Womens no.1 Caroline Wozniacki.

Morning Legend !

Fancy putting Murray and Ward on at the same time


Good Luck ANDEEE

Morning yummy.

Well if Verdassco and Roddick finish in half an hour it would be the worst conflict in a tournament for a while, since the good days of Tim and Greg.

Just a note during that match last night, someone yelled out 'C'mon England' and I thought please never Andy and James meet at Wimbledon as we may see the anti-Scot brigade!

I work quite near to Queens Club and currently there is a thunderstorm and heavy rain. No chance of play starting on time although it is getting a bit brighter now

Yoo Hoo steveo77

Can we have a weather update if possible please ?

Come on Ward, his win will do a world of good for struggling Englsih tennis.

Light drizzle at the moment, but getting brighter all the time.
hope so because I want to get out for my lunch

if it keeps improving they might get going about 1.30 I guess.

Tsonga I feel will be a tough match for Rafa...wouldnt be surprised if Rafa gets some fishing in over the weekend.

They are showing the Murray match for 20th time!!!

The LTA website is pants for updates!!! Grrrr

when did you become a mod legendkillar? belated congrats I guess.

Thanks MFC. It was today.

Again still no update on the state of things.

Why are there so many mods?

to keep you in line NITB

Still awaiting news from Queens. Got to feel for James Ward who must be desperate to get out on the court.

Nice to see a mod on the tennis boards with some tennis acumen.

No disrespect to the others but each unto his own.

Thanks SL.

Murray match has been moved to court 1.

Strange going's on here.

bright sunshine in west london now - i think they should get a move on

I wish John Lloyd would change his suit for crying out loud. He has had that on all week!!

Would like to see Nando do well here against ARod as he has been in a slump for a while now, he can(when he wants) play some exciting tennis.

Moi?

Hey, Mod,

can you please add the bubbly smiley, I miss it soooo much!!!!!

Not sure how quick the camera's will get to court 1. Interesting will we see the debacle we saw at the FO with Del Potro v Djokovic when that match was moved? I am sure people bought centre court tickets hoping for Murray v Cillic

Querrey is not moving very well at all. 1-1 in the decider.

i wouldn't like to be a Murray fan with £100 centre court tickets today

Just if anyone is interested. On Tuesday night Jonathan Overend the tennis correspondent for the BBC will be doing a Wimbledon Preview show on Radio 5 Live. Tickets are still available if you wish to attend. His guest will be Wimbledon 2001 Champion Goran Ivanisevic. I would like to know what he made of the Sun Newspaper reports on the following day from his triumph by where they delcared him an honourary Brit. The show starts at 8:30pm.

Ward breaks Querrey in 3rd. Leads 4-3. What a week he is having.

Roddick serving for the first set. Has broken Verdasco twice. Takes the first set 6-2

Ward serves to love and is one game away from a place in the quarter finals.

Ward serving for the match

Querrey serves to love. Cillic has pulled out of the tournament.

Was looking forward to that match. Great to see Jamie Ward through, congrats to him

Ward fires down a second serve ace at 30-30. What guts. Match point. Ward goes long on the forehand. Deuce. He looks like a young Alex Reid. Dang. Break point for Querrey. Big first serve. Deuce. Another match point for Ward. And he is through!!! Amazing

Ward

Well done Wardie

Congrats Legend !!!!!!!!1

Thanks yummy.

It is quite remarkable the week he has had. Now he faces Mannarino the lowest ranked player left above him. What a chance he has.

Yep Mannarino had a tough match yesterday. We may see two Brits in the semis. Wow

murray v ward final anyone

Well steveo that would make my whole tennis year, even ahead of a Murray Slam!

Bravo ward! Possibly 2 Brits in the SF's now!!

Rain has disrupted play. What a day for the Brits. Ward through before the heavens open up and also Murray through without a sweat broken. Brilliant.

Mannarino is better than I thought - 54th in the world so its a big ask for Ward to beat 2 top players on 1 day!

Welcome to the forum BigSal.

I hope you enjoy the experience. If you need any help, please do not hesitate to ask.

I think Ward has a chance. Mannarino not been that far in a Masters event. It is a great opportunity.

James Ward v an increasingly tired looking Nadal would certainly make for an interesting game tomorrow

That would be too much to ask. A tired Nadal could take Ward in 2. Be a great experience for him though.

Sue Barker, John Lloyd, Andrew Castle trying name great womens champions never to have won Wimbledon and they missed Henin!! Shocking!

I think tired Nadal has his own work cut out today ...
