Tone set for the summer with Broady beating an Aussie.

 

[Jono]

Haha that's good. Matosevic is such a soft ****.

I saw Broady beat Kyrgios at Wimbledon juniors 2011. He had a huge 6 pack ftr.

Daresay Kyrgios got the better of him since then..

In fairness NK was like 16 at the time

 

[Jono]

Broady was 17 though lol

Hewitt in a 5th set dog fight with Jarko. Listening from work, now that they are holding serve I'd be backing Jarko.

 

[Jono]

Haha, if Hewitt goes out in a first round 5 setter it'd be fitting. At the same time in his last Wimbledon for him to win a first round 5 setter after saving match points would also be fitting.

 

[ripper868]

I'd love our little **** to win. commentators via Wimbledon live stream just noted it's also Jarko's last Wimbledon. Shame one of them has to go out like this.

Those idiots in the crowd make the Hewitt match hard to watch, make you want him to lose too.

 

[Jono]

Man Nishi is so underdone.

Same is often said of the Barmy Army in cricket. The chants (of both the Barmy Army and the fanatics) are **** and unintelligent, but it's a better atmosphere than a polite sit and clap affair.

Nah no way Fanatics makes tennis a better atmosphere. No way in hell, and that comes from experience. Although they aren't anywhere near as bad at Wimbledon as they are at Aus Open imo. At a Tomic match at Wimbledon 2011 I was there and they were reasonably okay.

Anyway Hewitt gone. Great grass-court career, must be said.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Get in Nieminen. Shut those retards up for a bit.

Can imagine it is awful, be bad on surrounding courts too, possibly worse as it would be during points they are singing the garbage.

Had a great career has Hewitt considering his size in the days of big hitting.

Andy Murray and James Ward through to the next round - also Michael Bentine but I'm not accepting him as British. Laura Robson out but looked to be at least on her way back, albeit it could take a very long time. Heather Watson also through.
Halep and Bouchard beaten in the Ladies 1st Round.

Interesting to see Boris Becker hobbling around the All England Club. Two hip replacements and a very fragile ankle at the age of 47.

 

[Jono]

Nishi withdraws.

 

[NUFAN]

The coverage has been so good this year.on Fox.

Raonic is just completely bossing Haas.

 

[Johnners]

Lovin' the umpire in Baghdatis v Millman, has the coolest voice.

 

[Anil]

federer's latest trick shot

 

[Pratters]

Is that Jono playing Nadal?

 

[Anil]
