hueyview Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I watched Wimbledon as a kid late 70s and early 80s....McEnroe, Connors,Borg and Lendl etc..... I lost interest till Henman/Rodedtski came on the scene... Murray has made the sport for the casual viewer over the last decade... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you could have squeezed in something for Djokovic. He seems to have recovered some form although today should be a proper test if Gulbises play like they did on Thursday.

Andy's not going to win this Cilic v Nadal should be one heck of a quarter final. The winner will put paid to Murray's hopes unless they belt each other to pieces and can't stand up for the semi. Federer v Dimitrov looks like being the match to see on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Slim Stylee Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Nadal would win in 3 sets vs Cilic Think Cilic will take a set off him. But also think the physical toll will be too much for Nadal. Whoever gets him in the final - and I think he'll get there - will beat him. But what do I know, tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey1874 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Konta plays Halep, the second seed tomorrow in quarter finals. Halep should be favourite. There may be an element of grudge match for Konta. Back in April Britain lost to Romania in the Federations Cup notable for Illie Nastase swearing at Johanna Konta who ended up in tears on court and being put off her game. Halep did the "I didn't see anything wrong" routine and has since supported Nastase. The original act came about British journalists criticised Nastase for a racist comment about Serena Williams in pre match press conference. Tough challenge.

I P Knightley Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 If it comes down to arm-wrestling, Konta's going to struggle. To think there was a time when her boobs were bigger than her biceps... Incidentally, if Halep wins tomorrow, she goes to world #1 regardless of what happens for the rest of the week. If Konta wins, she moves into the top 4. They're the two highest ranked wifie players left in the draw. Meanwhile, Muller might be about to take the first set off Nadal - the first set he'd have lost in something like 30 attempts in Grand Slam events.
