Had meant to re-open this thread myself to let Cashy know that a five-pound note is on the dresser in the dining room with his name written on it in pencil (superstitious!)-this is for our bet which we took on at the beginning of this year!
Having seen Murray's first two matches I still say he will win it this year...he finished off Davydenko easily 6-1,6-1-6-4 and then yesterday beat the Croatian giant Karlovich, 7-5,7-6,6-7,6-4 in quite a tricky match. He's looking mentally strong and was playing all his shots. Let'shope he can keep it up and improve through the tournament. C'mon Andy!:D

Useless Jock:D

Just finished watching yesterday's Nadal match -had deliberately avoided hearing the score. Was really surprised he lost, this player Rosol is a new one for me, played an exceptional match let's hope it was a fluke- but for Murray that's the really big one off his side of the draw -so good news for him I think!

Looking forward to his next match against Baghdatis!:)

Well, guys, back to the ball game in question!:rolleyes:

Windy today on Center court, Serena Williams made it through somehow and showed her fuschia pink shorts off rather a lot when her skirt was blowing in the wind. I do believe she has the largest backside of the tournament!:eek:

Sadly Nadal is out, among the men he has one of the cutest "derriéres" - Federer is still in -he's not bad either, lovely in close fitting white shorts!!:D

Watching the Murray match right now -he's making heavy weather of it for some reason against Baghdatis...C'mon Andy!!!!!!:p

No mention of Murray's derriere, m! Why does he always remind me of that gawky teenager in Gregory's Girl?

I was intrigued to hear that there is an 11pm curfew on matches at Wimbledon "so they don't disturb the neighbours".

They take over the neighbourhood for a fortnight, allow thousands of people to trample everywhere and yell and grunt at the top of their voices, parking their cars everywhere and making the local residents prisoners in their own homes......then start worrying about disturbing the neighbours.

Interesting logic!
