I vaguely recall one of the Americans winning it on 4th of July. Probably Sampras or Williams. 1 hour ago, SpruceBringsteen said: Middle class sport for the terminably dull.

Cade Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) The Grand Slams are the worst. French Open is nothing but empty seats unless Federer is playing. Aussie Open is full of drunken loutish arseholes that think it's a rugby match. US Open has a disgustingly partisan crowd of utter welts. Wimbledon is a mix of the blue rinse brigade and trust fund enabled hooray henry/henriettas getting smashed on Pimms and who think it's like Glastonbury. The fact that the game itself is in a shit state right now doesn't help. Bursd tennis is god awful and every match is decided on who makes the least unforced errors rather than somebody actually being good. Lad's tennis has a serious lack of talent outwith the top three or four. Federer, Nadal and Murray are either getting old or have huge injury problem (or both).

Once of the greatest ever but clearly on the way out, however, it's only two years since she got to two GS finals and a semi so not sure why you're surprised folk expected her to win this one.

Now that Venus is out, there'll be a bit more pressure on Serena to double up with Murray. US TV won't put money into the tournament unless the great Merkin public have a chance to watch one of their heroes. I'd imagine the AELTC are waving large cheques under Serena's nose to get into the mixed dubs and they'll put her on Centre Court. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudi must stay Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Evans on. He is a fighter and will have a decent run this year IMO, assuming the draw is good to him (can't be bothered looking) Edmund plays Verdasco that's a tough draw early on.

rudi must stay Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Kyrgios on v Thompson, to be fair Thompson is adding to it, really going for it.

Initial thoughts are he could lose that one Evans is having a great grass court season; Verdasco has been one of the better Spaniards on grass but he's still really a clay courter who's good on hard courts. I'd put my 50p on Evans to win it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudyJudyJudy Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I love tennis. Yes Wimbles is elitist and always has been. The mens game is fairly predictable with Fed Nadal and Docky in it to win it. The women's ( not Burdz) game more wide open. Might me the year Serena wins the elusive 24th slam to tie with that old crabbit homophobe Margaret Court. Be good if she could but plenty in the field who can beat her i feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swanny17 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Genuinely believe tennis would be far more interesting with football-like crowds. Picture a player about to serve when the the crowd shouts “Ooooooohhhh YOU’RE SHIT AAHHHHHH”. See how well Djokovic plays when a coin bounces off his coupon. Hurling abuse at the umpire and questioning his parentage. You get my drift. ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
