stev2604 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I've got it... Streak, right "Come on Tim" on your body and shout it whilst streaking. Quite the plan there, I wouldn't fancy being tackled by one of those guards though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksnowman Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 Maybe a stupid question, but have you tickets or are you gonna queue? Wimbledon seeds are out and it looks as you would expect. I'll spoiler it not because its a secret, but because they are long lists. I'm not sure who I would pick as an outsider in the mens... Ljubicic could do some damage if he gets some momentum going, but I don't think he will be winning the championship. Men's seeds: 1. Roger Federer (Switzerland) 2. Rafael Nadal (Spain) 3. Novak Djokovic (Serbia) 4. Nikolay Davydenko (Russian) 5. David Ferrer (Spain 6. Andy Roddick (United States) 7. David Nalbandian (Argentina) 8. Richard Gasquet (France) 9. James Blake (United States) 10. Marcos Baghdatis (Cyprus) 11. Tomas Berdych (Czech Republic) 12. Andy Murray (Britain) 13. Stanislas Wawrinka (Switzerland) 14. Paul-Henri Mathieu (France) 15. Fernando Gonzalez (Chile) 16. Radek Stepanek (Czech Republic) 17. Mikhail Youzhny (Russia) 18. Ivo Karlovic (Croatia) 19. Nicolas Almagro (Spain) 20. Lleyton Hewitt (Australia) 21. Juan Carlos Ferrero (Spain) 22. Fernando Verdasco (Spain) 23. Tommy Robredo (Spain) 24. Jarkko Nieminen (Finland) 25. Dmitry Tursunov (Russia) 26. Ivan Ljubicic (Croatia) 27. Nicolas Kiefer (Germany) 28. Gilles Simon (France) 29. Andreas Seppi (Italy) 30. Gael Monfils (France) 31. Feliciano Lopez (Spain) 32. Michael Llodra (France) Women then... I'd like to see Safina have a good tournament. If I could pick anyone to win it then I'd choose Patty Schnyder but she's getting old now compared to the other hotshots. Bartoli could be one to keep an eye on, but she might just capitulate under the pressure of trying to recapture the form she showed last year. Further down is Davenport and Mauresmo who should never be ruled out and I'd rather one of them got it rather than the "top" players- women's tennis is just a glamour sport, so I've been watching it less and less. Women's seeds: 1. Ana Ivanovic (Serbia) 2. Jelena Jankovic (Serbia) 3. Maria Sharapova (Russian) 4. Svetlana Kuznetsova (Russia) 5. Elena Dementieva (Russia) 6. Serena Williams (United States) 7. Venus Williams (United States) 8. Anna Chakvetadze (Russia) 9. Dinara Safina (Russia) 10. Daniela Hantuchova (Slovakia) 11. Marion Bartoli (France) 12. Patty Schnyder (Switzerland) 13. Vera Zvonareva (Russia) 14. Agnieszka Radwanska (Poland) 15. Agnes Szavay (Hungary) 16. Victoria Azarenka (Belarus) 17. Alize Cornet (France) 18. Nicole Vaidisova (Czech Republic) 19. Maria Kirilenko (Russia) 20. Francesca Schiavone (Italy) 21. Nadia Petrova (Russia) 22. Flavia Pennetta (Italy) 23. Katarina Srebotnik (Slovenia) 24. Shahar Peer (Israel) 25. Lindsay Davenport (United States) 26. Sybille Bammer (Austria) 27. Virginie Razzano (France) 28. Alona Bondarenko (Ukraine) 29. Amelie Mauresmo (France) 30. Dominika Cibulkova (Slovakia) 31. Caroline Wozniacki (Denmark) 32. Sania Mirza (India) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 No surprises in the men's seeding then. Murray down a place from his ranking because he didn't play at Wimbledon last year. I'm going to put some money on Serena and Venus doing well this year I think as they often do really well even when they haven't done well at other tournaments.

stev2604 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Maybe a stupid question, but have you tickets or are you gonna queue? I'm gonna queue. It's annoying but it can be a good laugh if you get some good people near you. Buying tickets beforehand is way too expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Murray annihilated Malisse earlier on. He's looking very promising to have a decent run into the tournament this year. Due to meet Gasguet in the 4th round which will be hard though... The whole "Come on, Tim!" thing is a bit over-done now, McEnroe was saying that it's getting annoying now so please don't do it if you're down there, Stev. Eaton is on Court 1 at the moment on BBCi and is doing pretty well against Tursonov, going with serve in the first set. Being very well suported by the crowd which is good to see/hear.

darksnowman Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 Lol @ Djokovic yesterday. There's no embarrassment in losing to Safin though, cos when he keeps his head together he's a top player. And what about Sharapova today eh? Beaten! Mwahahaha. Murray beating Malisse is no great thing. Xavier Malisse's best days are behind him now, and he is fighting to regain any of his past form. Murray's pokey pokey keep the ball in the court style of tennis won't hold up against others... like Gasquet, if and when they meet. Nadal had a scare too... winning in four sets against Gulbis. I fancied Gulbis to beat him because he's one of the best up and coming players, and he's had a great year so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolness Bears Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 More shock today! Sharapova.... I really wish I didn't have to go to school while Wimbledon was on. I'd so take myself up there! It seems really good so far this year. I'm away for the final as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tales Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 The competition is thinning out for Venus. Top seeded Ivanovic lost in two sets 6-1 6-4 to 133 ranked Zheng. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Ivanovic was very lucky to get through in the 2nd round too, I'm not surprised she's out. Are the Williams' sisters due to meet i nthe final? That would be awesome, take us all back 5 years or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Murray's currently getting his ass handed to him by Gasquet. He played well in the first set but the 2nd isn't doing too well. He's had 4 first serves in out of 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Anybody else's BBC really messy? Jumping, glitching, losing the signal for a few seconds. All my other channels are fine. Wondering if it's the BBC's transmitter, anybody in central Scotland having problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksnowman Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 I'm loving how the top seeds have been knocked out this year. Especially in the women's game. I'm hoping Gasquet can get this wrapped up with this set because I'd say if it goes to a fourth then it won't be finished tonight. Allez Gasquet!

Eddage Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I'm not usually a big fan of tennis, but I love watching Murray play when he gets all worked up, especially at Wimbledon where he can get the crowd going! After years of watching paint dry (Henman) its a breathe of fresh air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
