Don't know what odds they're giving on the match but I know who I'm backing to win!

Well I watched the men's doubles final last night, was a great game and at least a brit won Marray and Neilson were superb, but you have to feel sorry for their opponents that's the 3rd year on the trot they've been runners up, sad

Re: Grand Slam Tennis 2012
I hate Tennis.......I don't care who wins. It is all a load of balls. I'm dreading the Olympics......and all that sport.
