we know hewitt will win anyway, better to watch some interesting matches, like Haas'!

True. Of course there will be Todd Reid aswell.

 

[Simon]

yeh i guess, federer and roddck are both playing tonight too, roddick up first so thats ok.

i sent channel 9 an email last night about their decision to show particular matches are certain times, i thought u was pretty polite and didnt even swear! but im yet to and dont expect to receieve a reply...

 

[Mister Wright]

Channel 9 suck. I will be very surprised if you get a reply. Who wants to see Henman live anyway. If it was an aussie it would be a different story.

 

[Simon]

yeh, they need to know, we dont give a stuff about henman, hes a boring player, they could have shown moya or someone better instead.

if i get a reply, ill post it here and let u make of it what u wish...

 

[Simon]

[Neil Pickup]

Here in NZ we have two channels playing Wimbledon live, with Prime taking Nine's coverage and Sky Sport 1 taking the world feed.

So I have a choice of the 2001 final on Prime, or Sharapova's first round match on SS1. Hmmm, decisions decisions...

both classic matches but you cant beat a looker!

go Maria

 

[Simon]

They just announced on wimbledon radio that Hantuchova's 2nd round opponent has withdrawn, meaning if Sharapova wins her next game they play in the 3rd round. WHAT A HUGE MATCH THATS GONNA BE!!!!!!!!

 

[DJellett]

Hantuchova is a hotty. Who do you think the hottest at Wimbledon is?
Capriati, Hantuchova, Lleyton Hewitt, umm arh I mean umm....Oh god

 

[_Ed_]

I would vote Sharapova.

What happened to Ashley Harkleroad? Is she at Wimbledon? I haven't seen her since she reached the final in Auckland back in January and then got bundled out in the first round of the Australian Open by V.Williams.

 

[Simon]

yeh shes still floating around, nt as good ans maria or daniela though, hard to say who is the hottest out of the two, lets just say i woudnt turn down either

 

[V Reddy]

Hantuchova is a hotty. Who do you think the hottest at

No contest in my view. Dani all the way

 

[Simon]

No contest in my view. Dani all the way

now that shes not a stick figure again she prolly wins by a nose

 

[Simon]

lets not forget Dementieva, shes pretty damn fine too, prolly the best body of the 3 IMO.

 

[Simon]

Haas just won 8-6 in the 5th, Xavier Malisse up next, i think he has a good chance, but he needs to play a bit better

 

[V Reddy]

Neha gets Wimbledon Juniors wildcard

Well atleast one Indian origin player made it to the main draw in girls apart from Arvind Parmer in Mens draw. But no pure Indians as Amits would call it

 

[Simon]

bottom half of the draw action in the Mens part of he draw tonight. Haas gets Malisse on court 3 this time, perhaps a chance of a centre court match. Ivanisevic vs Hewitt should be a beauty in top half action.
Sharapova vs Hantuchova on centre court, but its last up so wont be on till bout 3am australian time.

 

[Mister Wright]

Verkerk v Phillipousis also.

We picked it Simon - Todd Martin in an epic 5 setter.
