never mind me. I am just gutted being an ardent fan of his. I believe he'll still be around to win 1 or more GS. The signs are there 'cos he is not just receding at a faster rate as he still pushes opponent to the extreme before loosing. I will believe his days are over when he starts loosing in a straight sets in the 1st round. Good one there for Murray. that's how to wrap up a game before the opponent starts gaining confidence |

question: It's a ritual. Many players actually have their method of maintaining a certain consistency. I believe Bjorn Borg never shaved for the time he remained at Wimbledon or maybe I'm confusing him with another player. Some players choose to wear a particular type of jewelry, for others it could be a particular music they listen to before they go out to play or during their practice. Marion Bartoli jumps a little on the baseline before she serves (well the last time I witnessed her match ). A few other players bounce the ball for a very long time before finally serving. Nadal's peculiar habit appears to be the positioning of water bottles, he even does this at minor tournaments. Everyone has their own way of preparing and that's just his way harmeenut: I know the feeling. I've tried resigning as a Federer fan once before but I could never quite manage that lol. I am a fan of the man himself, I respect him. However it is his methodology I am more drawn to. His style is becoming endangered, he is the last of his kind. He bridges old school with the modern and it's as if he is translating art through tennis, it's like a kinetic portrait I don't know quite how to describe it really, his fluent fluid movements are a joy to watch. Even Nadal confessed that when standing opposite Federer as his opponent he cannot but help to admire his art. He inspired me to play and for that I will forever remain a fan even through the sullen days |

Semi-Final Fixtures: Women Maria Sharapova (RUS) vs. Sabine Lisicki (GER) Victoria Azarenka (BLR) vs. Petra Kvitova (CZE) Men Rafael Nadal (ESP) vs. Andy Murray (SCO) Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (FRA) vs. Novak Djokovic (SRB) |
Re: Tennis: Wimbledon 2011 by dominique(f): 10:40pm On Jun 29, 2011 |
this looks like Sharapova's cruising to the title but i always have a soft spot for the under-dog. may the best lady win. |
Re: Tennis: Wimbledon 2011 by dydroy: 12:03pm On Jun 30, 2011 |
Good stuff, Nadal and Sharapova ftw |
Re: Tennis: Wimbledon 2011 by montelik(m): 12:58pm On Jun 30, 2011 |
I am rooting for Lisicki and Kvitova in d women's semis today. Hope Lisicki can force an upset against Sharapova. |
Re: Tennis: Wimbledon 2011 by Nobody: 2:50pm On Jun 30, 2011 |
I hope dominique is watching my predictions. |
Re: Tennis: Wimbledon 2011 by harmeenut: 3:03pm On Jun 30, 2011 |
montelik: honestly hope so too especially as Azarenka is out. Can't just have 2 noisemakers for final. it'll be the noisiest Wimbledon final ever.lol |
Re: Tennis: Wimbledon 2011 by dydroy: 8:35am On Jul 01, 2011 |
^^^ Sorry but Its a Sharapova v Kvitova ladies final on saturday Sharapova ftw |
Re: Tennis: Wimbledon 2011 by A40(m): 1:45pm On Jul 01, 2011 |
Team Tsonga on deck. Djokovic must not get that #1 spot |
Re: Tennis: Wimbledon 2011 by harmeenut: 2:37pm On Jul 01, 2011 |
^^^ Djokovic has other idea unless Tsonga can come up as he did against roger 2-0 down. But of the big 3, only Roger can let such advantage go |

Re: Tennis: Wimbledon 2011 by dydroy: 4:26pm On Jul 01, 2011 |
Although i was rooting for Tsonga, surely Djokovic would provide a sterner test and greater appeal for the Final event! Finally Sharapova / Nadal ftw |
Re: Tennis: Wimbledon 2011 by A40(m): 5:26pm On Jul 01, 2011 |
question:Lol oga i was just in denial abeg! Its allowed Ohh well Djokovic oozed class today i must say he had Tsonga playing on his terms and i knew it would be damn near impossible for Tsonga to do what he did against Federer after two sets down Azarenka versus Sharapova woulda been bedlam! You can still here Azarenka groaning when her opponent is returning a hit from her. Kvitova is hot though |
Re: Tennis: Wimbledon 2011 by A40(m): 5:44pm On Jul 01, 2011 |
This is much tighter than i would have expected. Murray's aces have been hmmm and he takes the 1st |
Re: Tennis: Wimbledon 2011 by dayokanu(m): 7:26pm On Jul 01, 2011 |
Re: Tennis: Wimbledon 2011 by emofine(f): 7:42pm On Jul 01, 2011 |
lol Murray was just prolonging the inevitable I love Nadal's patience and perseverance but Djokovic ftw The men's Wimbledon final is going to be interesting for sure |
Re: Tennis: Wimbledon 2011 by tubabie(f): 8:01pm On Jul 01, 2011 |
^^^^With Novak having beat Nadal 4 times this year, hmmm, the match would be really interesting! |
Re: Tennis: Wimbledon 2011 by question(m): 8:49pm On Jul 01, 2011 |
tubabie:Those 4 times where 3 set-matches. See below. 03/20/2011 Masters Series Indian Wells ( Tennis Hard Court ) R. Nadal - N. Djokovic 1 : 2 (6 : 4) (3 : 6) (2 : 6) 04/03/2011 SE Open Masters Series Miami ( Tennis Hard Court ) R. Nadal - N. Djokovic 1 : 2 (6 : 4) (3 : 6) (6 : 7) 05/08/2011 Masters Series Madrid ( Tennis Clay Court ) R. Nadal - N. Djokovic 0 : 2 (5 : 7) (4 : 6) 05/15/2011 Masters Series Rome ( Tennis Clay Court ) R. Nadal - N. Djokovic 0 : 2 (4 : 6) (4 : 6) Novak is good at 3 set matches, but for 5 setters (grand slams) he runs out of stamina after the 4th set. Nadal knows this as Novak's main weak point. I love the 2 guys though. They both have that fighting spirit that keeps us at the edge of our seats. Best of luck to them on Sunday, |
Re: Tennis: Wimbledon 2011 by montelik(m): 11:12am On Jul 02, 2011 |
I think Kvitova could shock Maria today, but I think Maria's experience and desire will see her thru in 2 sets. D 1st set being tight, say 7-6, and d 2nd set convincing, say 6-2. As for d final I am rooting for Novak simply because of both d semi's his was by far d more exciting, and his performance was quality and entertaining. Nadal vs Murray was so dull, both guys didn't impress. So Sharapova and Novak as Wimbledon champions. |
Re: Tennis: Wimbledon 2011 by emofine(f): 2:16pm On Jul 02, 2011 |
I really hope Petra Kvitova wins at least to shut the damn commentators up yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay she broke back |
Re: Tennis: Wimbledon 2011 by inknow: 2:18pm On Jul 02, 2011 |
I think djokovic is winning this wimbleddon |
Re: Tennis: Wimbledon 2011 by harmeenut: 2:48pm On Jul 02, 2011 |
Kvitova is doing well in this first set; might just surprise Maria - Left-handed from Czech are always beuty to watch, remember Navratilova, |
Re: Tennis: Wimbledon 2011 by emofine(f): 3:01pm On Jul 02, 2011 |
The screamer has been silenced |
Re: Tennis: Wimbledon 2011 by montelik(m): 3:38pm On Jul 02, 2011 |
Kvitova wins. Well done to her. Lets hope she doesn't go d way of other recent women champions. |
Re: Tennis: Wimbledon 2011 by medjai(m): 7:01pm On Jul 02, 2011 |
Congrats to Kvitova |
