World Cup 'll def overshadow d championship.

worldcup has already over shadowed it. tourney starts tomorrow and people are not even talking about it and it's my favourite of all grand slams .
will still be rooting for Nadal all tha way!!!!

The organizers should have waited till the end of the WC. Anyway, I'm with Federer. Federer will win because:
1. Grass court: Federer owns the grass court. Federer has only lost twice in 7 years on grass court. The second defeat was two weeks ago to Hewitt at the Halle Masters, Germany.
He has a 76-2 record on grass in the last 7 years.
2.Form: Nadal lost to Feliciano Lopez(30) in straight sets in the q-finals of the Aegon masters while Fed. made it to the final of the Halle Masters and lost narrowly, 2 sets to 1 to Hewitt(26).
3. Wimbledon: Federer is to Wimbledon what Nadal is to Roland Garros. Federer has played in 7 finals winning 6 and only losing to Nadal in 2008.

malaika:

My money's on Robin Soderling.

ur money is gone

Nadal and Fed Express to battle it out again

we're talking ferrari you're talking volkswagen. Forget Wimbledon jor

Una fashi my thread abi.

Casual Federer just dropped the 1st set. 5 -7. Too casual abeg

omo Federer is struggling o. 2nd set, Falla leads 5 - 4

Falla wins 2nd set.

See wahala.

Fed ex wettin dey happen?!?!?

I cant believe this. Whats happening to Fed? Anyways, its like Falla is having a problem with his leg

Federer will win this now. he has the momentum.

Well maybe ignore my last comment. Falla is serving for the hatch here!

R.Fed may face a first round elimination against an unseeded opponent. . . oh ma words

in related news, unseeded s/african Kevin Anderson is giving N.Davedenko a time of his life. Nadal better not bleep up o!

Where is the official thread abeg??

^^^ the thread created by mystikal wasn't stickied. i suppose this is it

Falla really gave me a scare. Fed is leading the 5th set 2-0.

Yes! Fed has done it. Who be Falla, sef? 5-7 4-6 6-4 7-6 6-0

Hopefully, Andy Murray will win his first grand slam on home soil


errrmmmm, any nairalander going to SW19 this year, nice to meet someone new and share an overpriced strawberry

well he is the king of clay, but this time around he will be playing on grass. R FEDERER is the hard nut to crack. following his record at WIMBLEDON

wen we finish d world cup we can watch dis 1 abeg

the tournament always comes in during WC,so divide the tele into 2 parts,for me I will definitely watch my Serena VS Kim Clijsters or the Williamses inplace of 9ja Kaita.

can  we see some venus and serena wimbledon  2010 pix?

, Almost for Federer,but kudos to him,the guy is strong mentally,but of cos he is also superb on grass,was he trying to prove something yesterday?

Could somebody please throw more light on this lawn tennis game.

What is the meaning of grand slam?

How is the result be calculated?

How do i understanding the result?

I know this sound dumb, but I would love to learn more about the game.

Big Question. The Computer is your friend o.

The four Grand Slam tournaments are considered 2 be the most prestigious tennis tournaments in the world. They are held annually and include, in chronological order, the Australian Open, the French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open. There are other lesser competitions that are played throughout the year

A tennis match is determined through the best of 3 or 5 sets. Typically for both men's and women's matches, the first player to win two sets wins the match. At certain important tennis tournaments for men, including all four Grand Slam tournaments and the final of the Olympic Games, the first man to win three sets wins the match. A set consists of games, and games, in turn, consist of points.

A point in tennis is the smallest subdivision of the match, the completion of which changes the score. Four points win a game, counted as 15 (1 point), 30 (2 points), 40 (3 points). A game must be won by at least two points.

Just watch a game of tennis and listen to the commentary, you'll pick the basics of the game instantly
