The new kid on the block Andrew Murray should get past his first round tie and then could possibly meet 14th seed Stepanek who beat and lost to Rudeski in the run up at Queens and Nottingham. This kid is the real deal and won't join the long list of failed next british hopefuls, I predict 3rd round in his debut Wimbledon.


Just about to get started on Court Two. Thornsy - did you remember this kid's debilitating ankle injury, picked up at Queens, when you made this post?

Yep, number 107 indeed, and look at the roaring success of BPM TV.

Does this mean he'll meet the 14th seed Stepanek in the second round, or the third ? It's not quite clear to me.

No, I didn't know that. I'm surprised I haven't read it in the papers or something though. The Times had seven pages of coverage today.

 

David Sherwood got a lot of coverage as it goes. I couldn't see him getting past Mello, so I guess the Sports Editors had to hastily rearrange their back pages.

Timid Tim will go out without a whimper in the QF to someone good like Roddick although Roddick is on schedule to play the 6ft 10" Croat Karlovic in the 2nd round, could be a shock there as he's not seeded, I think Tim could meet Federer in the semis if he makes it through.


It's getting worse for our favourite tennis pundit here, as Tim loses his first set at this year's Wimbledon by three games to six. Two drops of break.

No you didn't.

I thought he was the kid from Harpenden, he wasn't he was the kid from Basingstoke, because I thought he was the kid from Harpenden he is the number 1 junior in the country and the bloke he was playing is low in the rankings.

 

Henman now 2 sets down and playing like a first class prick.

That must be my fault as well

So you based your predictions on the wrong players. That explains why they were so far off the mark.

 

Still, at least you stuck your neck out backing the Swiss guy to win.

 

I don't know about tennis but I'm going to predict that England beat Bangladesh in the cricket today.

No, I got one player wrong and based my prediction on the wrong player. The rest are pretty accurate. If I was 100% right I'd be a very rich man, wouldn't I?

Tw*t!


The rest are pretty accurate !!

"I can't see Sherwood getting past Nello"

3 sets mate, 3 sets.

I can't take the credit for this but it made me laugh. Thanks to the guy on the Conf South forum.

One of my favorite fortnights of the year starts tomorrow as Wimbledon kicks in.

 

My view

Timid Tim will go out without a whimper in the QF to someone good like Roddick although Roddick is on schedule to play the 6ft 10" Croat Karlovic in the 2nd round, could be a shock there as he's not seeded, I think Tim could meet Federer in the semis if he makes it through.

English Greg is still my favorite British player, how can you not like anyone with such a wicked grin. Looking at the draw Greg's only main problem could be a 2nd Round meeting with Johansson, who beat both Murray and Henman at Queens but he's a bit inconsistant, but then, frustratingly, so is Greg. The draw is quite kind to him with only the 8th/21st and 31st seeds in there to the QF where he could meet Federer, Gregs due a good Wimbledon, I'm going to stick my neck out and say he'll make the QF.

The new kid on the block Andrew Murray should get past his first round tie and then could possibly meet 14th seed Stepanek who beat and lost to Rudeski in the run up at Queens and Nottingham. This kid is the real deal and won't join the long list of failed next british hopefuls, I predict 3rd round in his debut Wimbledon.

The other brits, Joshua Goodall who I believe is a 17yr old from Harpenden plays world 92 Alessio Di Mauro, winnable but whether he does of not is another matter, he's meant to be pretty good so I'll give him the benifit and he'll make the 2nd round.

Jamie Delgado has been knocking about and failing miserably for years, he'll lose in the 1st round to 23rd seed Ferrero.

Alan Mackin will also lose to 21st seed Gondzalez in R1

Alex Bogdanovic could get past Kevin Kim but probably won't

Can't see David Sherwood getting past Ricardo Mello

To be honest you can't really look fast Federer for the tournment but if you were looking for a little outsider, go for 27th seed French teenager Richard Gasquet who won Nottingham last week.

 

In the womens I hope Maria Sharapova wins because she's lovely (don't know too much about womens tennis) although I think the Williams sisters should be in the mens draw.

 

Can I write a big long factual post and get all the...facts wrong!!!

 

 

Jimmy Connors will beat Margaret Court in the final

Henman has got it back to 2-1 down. 3 games all in the fourth set.
