Wimbledon Day 3

First topic message reminder :

Where does the time go? It seems like it was only yesterday that it was Wimbledon day 2.

Will Murray get Blazed by the heavy Rola?

Post all your thoughts and bad jokes here.

How did he miss that??!!

strange errors from both in this tie break

What a pass from Djoko. I swear he is not as bad as I say it.

Deja Vu!

Nah, Djoko will take it.

Hahaha what a way to finish!!!

Not to toot my own horn

But I called it.

Ahh unlucky Stephanek , give the performance Djoko would not stand a chance against Murray if they played tomorrow.

I can't remember the last time I saw such an insipid performance get the win.

Very flat from Novak. Played like his poodle had died.

Yes, Stepi deserved a fifth set, especially as he came from 2:5 down to 5:5 in TB.

well done nole. and probably easier from now on for him

I wonder if Tsonga v Querrey will get moved to CC

Querrey holding his own. Nice matach so far.

A lot worse than his poodle died. His Career Grand Slam died.....again   

Ferrer.

Tsonga is strangely on and off today. Can Querrey hang on though?

McEnroe must be on the pot. Nadal the best volleyer?

How come nobody spoke about Gilles Muller vs Federer? Muller is a very dangerous fast court player, doesn't have the capacity to win a tournament but Like Rosol can easily beat any given opponent on his day on fast surface.

Rosol vs Nadal the first match, and RoFe takes on Muller, a potential upset possible on both sides.

Henman, Cash and Gilbert also said it. So get used to it   

Rosol v Nadal is probably overblown, IMVHO.

Federer does need the work out against a player like Muller, who has 12/20 W/L on Grass.

I read from a tweet that 2012 is identical for Rafa

1]AO finals lost
2]Some clay masters lost
3]FO finals win over Djoko in 4 sets
4]4 Titles
5]42 match wins
6]2nd round clash vs Rosol in Wimbledon.

reference - 2012/2014 identical for Rafa. Aus open final; RG win over djok in 4; 4 titles; 42 match wins; faces Rosol 2nd rd

The best volleyer right now is Stack'o Whisky.

I will take that with a pinch of salt

Didn't Federer had a workout against a player 0-13 in GS in the first round   

Ain't Federer lose to a guy in the 2nd round last year who currently holds 116-133 Win/loss record.   

Ain't Federer lose to a guy in the 2nd round of Wimbledon holding a stat 28-28 on grass?

I agree.

I think the Nadal haters will be very disappointed come tomorrow.

Federer certainly does have his work cut out.

I....did not know that. Weird. Wild.

But I'm pretty sure there is no idiotic god up there creating trivial miracles. Nadal will be fine.

I hope things improve.

If I'm seeing wins being ground out by endlessly hitting the same boring, low risk patterns over and over again, I may as well follow Nadal.

I would love to see a double upset tomorrow.

Sorry but that Is not true. Nadal now also wins points while sitting down. Plus he's left handed - we'll never know the reason, but left handed athletes always look more stylish.

It is a pretty good one. Imitation is the best form of flattery, DV2.

I agree, Laver, McEnroe, Rios and Nadal are the most entertaining of each era.

Querrey and Tsonga still going at it!!

AS TMF himself admits, each match starts at 0-0. No matches at this level are easy.

Come on Tsonga!

Tsonga is doing himself absolutely no favours... Ten sets already... That 200lbs frame does not need this

Tsonga and Querrey tied at 8-8 in the fifth and will commence tomorrow.

Hang on.....they are playing on!!

What lads!!

What's lads mean?

Are they trying to break Poor Isner Mahut Record, if I am right its was USA- France last time and again its USA - France now and both on the 2nd round of Wimbledon.   

I am loving my stats today.

Lads = cheeky men (not in a literal sense I might add)

Its a 19th century way of saying "dudes".

Play has finally been suspended. 9-9 in the fifth.

Use CC!!!

Tsonga v Qurrey suspended for the day.

a great moment there at 8-8 when the umpire called that play was suspended only for the players to decide that actually they wanted to carry on.

Didn't last though: two games later and play was indeed suspended. Tsonga not helping his cause with these long matches.

Tsonga is a great lad for tennis. He is no lady.

When I chose my username I really thought it was to be the most grotesque username ever. Now I see how I was wrong: you beat me by a mile!!

Kneel befoere Nadal; are you ordering every one to do it or is just the way you do when watching him play?

^Just a phrase from Superman II that sounds good with Nadal in it.
Jeremy Kyle is still the worst username probably anyway.

so today 2 big upsets, ferrer and gulbis

tomorrow? everybody looking at nadal eh

I do believe nadal will win, but it is a far more important match for the future of the year than we think

What's important about it? Are you saying this because nobody else will be able to beat Nadal?
