What a shit day for Ferrari :( It's all but over for Massa, and I reckon Kimi will only have a chance if something drastic happens to both Mclarens next week.

Great pics motion.

 

Does anyone know if Tim Henman is playing in the Davis Cup Tennis today, because it says he's scheduled to play the final singles game, but all the press are saying that he's bowed out in style/played his final match etc.

Henman played his final tennis game yesterday, which he (and Jamie Murray) won, putting Britain back in the world group.

I know it says that, but there are Britain Davis Cup games today and if you look at the Davis Cup website:

 

R1 - A.MURRAY (GBR) def. M.CILIC (CRO)

3-6 6-4 6-2 4-6 6-3

R2 - T.HENMAN (GBR) def. R.KARANUSIC (CRO)

6-4 6-3 6-3

R3 - T.HENMAN / J.MURRAY (GBR) def. M.CILIC / L.ZOVKO (CRO)

4-6 6-4 7-6(3) 7-5

R4 - A.MURRAY (GBR) v R.KARANUSIC (CRO)

R5 - T.HENMAN (GBR) v M.CILIC (CRO)

 

He's due to play today. Andy Murray is currently playing and is leading 4-2 in the first set.

I think the thing was he's played his last meaningful match, since these last 2 matches are dead rubbers

Yeah, they explained it, he'd won a meaningful match and went out on a high rather than playing a meaningless match last and possibly losing. Jamie Baker played instead of him.

Don't really like watching snooker. I get bored after a couple of frames.

And other programs get cancelled for it.

Snooker is AWESOME!

 

I've been a long term fan of hendry so I want him to win, but Robertson is pretty awesome too!

As I was about to say....before net died.

 

I don't like watching most sports because I find them boring, but I really enjoy watching extreme sports like skateboarding, rollerblading, bmxing, and dirt track motor bike racing. I also don't mind playing badmington, tennis, squash, and cricket. I love to play football though.

badmington

Sorry, but I've see so many people spell it like this on here, I have to correct it! It's spelt

BADMINTON!

 

Without the G!

Meh, we can't all be good at spelling.

 

Oh, I'll also play snooker and pool of course...I had one of those sets that you could set up on a dining table to play it on. Same goes for table tennis.

It wasn't aimed at you, just in general.

Especially as it isnt even said badMINGton.

A good sport, I like to play it and I watch it from time to time - though it never seems as exciting as tennis or something like that. Also, it might be spelt badminton but that doesn't change its pronunciation: babbleton!

 

Also, anyone into and/ or keeping tabs on the snooker tourny at the mo?
