Yes! My policy of betting against Blake every round in Wimbledon pays off very early!

Scheuttler just knocked him out in the 2nd round after a 5 set match, you beauty!

Ridiculous how short Blake is every match. Seriously is.

Only one to tip him in the predictions comp :happy:

Kicking Simon for not saying Haas would reach the third round tho.

Haha nice. As mediocre as Blake is, you just don't expect him to lose to Scheuttler in the 2nd round of Wimbledon, but as he's just proven, its well worth a punt.

Between him, Nalbandian and Davydenko, you'd win plenty of money every Wimbledon by placing bets on their opponents often paying $5 or more.

Sharapova out.

Serves her right for wearing shorts, Imho.
yep...this could well shape up to be a williams sisters show:@ ...cannot see ivanovic stopping either sister if they are in or near top form especially on this surface...

Haha, her face was one of disgust after she lost.

If Tipsaravic can serve out this 2nd set vs. Roddick, I reckon this will be a 5 set classic.

Ever since his match vs. Federer at the Aus Open I've been a Tipsaravic fan. He can win this match if he keeps playing as he has been.

Both of them can play 2 matches up till June, and not give a **** about tennis for most of the year, but rock up at Wimbledon and dominate. Its amazing how they can just switch on through pure aura and mental toughness.

I expect one of them to win it this year. Ivanovic is a chance obviously, but I think the Williams sisters will continue to dominate Wimbledon as they have over the past few years bar the odd hiccup.

As opposed to previous years? Wimbledon is the Williams Championships :D

I'm a Djokovic fan, but I think this may amuse those that aren't a fan of his.

His interview after he retired vs. Nadal at the French Open in 2006. He lost the first two sets 4-6 4-6 before he retired.

He was young at the time obviously, so said some stupid ****. I think Nadal's reaction is hilarious.

true...she is much more bearable, less intimidatory screaming, less trashing of opponents at press conferences etc etc and she is better to watch too as far as playing on grass goes....

wasn't comparing it to previous years if you notice...to be honest, i wouldn't mind seeing venus winning it again, serena just disgusts me overall and i would be happy to see her lose(easier said than done i know)...

Was just playing Anil, relax, I know how much you dislike the Williams, or Serena at least ;)

I will ask though, if Sharapova going out helps Serena, why does that disappoint you when she has a power game just like Serena? What's the difference?

Ohh come on Janko!

And FFS Fox - we get Hantuchova-Klebawhatever ahead of Tipsarevic-Roddick.
What about on Ch 9?

I'm on holiday in Singapore and Star Sports are showing Roddick vs. Tipsarevic. Such an awesome match.

I got on Tipsarevic paying 6.00, so hopefully he can finish it off in the 4th set here. If he can force a tie break he has a chance, but Roddick is so dominant in tie breaks it'll be tough.

Lovin' the way that the crowd are getting behind Eaton, seems like he could be the crowd favourite for Brits as Murray is quite hard to like.

Oh man he could have made that passing shot!

This is your moment Tipsarevic, you can do it!

Btw, looks like Hantuchova is on her way out. 1-5 down in the third.
