Robinson's lemon barley...those were the days -before all these energy drinks they have now

[mobertol]

Despite pulling a muscle Murray has managed to get through to the semi-final in the Miami masters tournament - came back from a set and a break down. Great start to the year so far.

Will be playing next against either Tsonga or Nadal.

Expect it to be Nadal - will be a good test for him whichever of the two he has to play - fingers crossed he makes another final...

[mobertol]

He's through to the final having beaten Nadal.

Final tomorrow against Djokovic -should be a good match.

The year is shaping up well for Murray, Wimbledon isn't that far off now!

Have put my fiver aside for Cashy and our little bet.

He's through to the final having beaten Nadal, oh come on mobertol, we might not be big tennis fans on here but even I know that little Andy didn't beat Raffa, it was a walk over Raffa is injured and unable to play

No it isn't its a win by default

[mobertol]

Well he won yesterday here in Rome against Nalbandian on clay -his worst surface. I watched it on TV -bit of a shaky patch in the middle. Probably exagerated celebrating his 25th birthday!

Not long to wait till Wimbledon now - double dose this year as the Olympic tennis will be there too!

Excuse me but has anyone got any paint they'd like me to keep an eye on while it dries? Switched on BBC2 at 9pm hoping to watch The men who make us fat, a documentary. However, because Wimbledon is still going, it isn't there.

Could someone please enlighten me as to how people can get so excited about two people hitting a ball at each other? It's always baffled me. This event receives blanket coverage during the day on both BBC1 and 2 and in the evening it has been on BBC2 since six o'clock. The football is small fry by comparison, and much more interesting and entertaining.

Rant over, but if they cancel Mock the Week at 10pm I shall really get annoyed. Meanwhile I'll try to stifle my yawns otherwise you might hear them in Accy.

One good reason: Maria Sharapova.

I love Wimbledon and tennis in general Sue -it's an amazing battle of skill and nerves in the singles matches and the doubes matches are quick and entertaining. Even if i don't watch every match -it's on in the background to keep me company - no commentary -just the noise from the court. Sky interactive is great -you can choose between 6 matches!
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!

Can't understand why the BBC have to cancel programs at all, they have two digital channels, which are obtainable on freeview too, which are not used during the day, they only come on air at 7pm each evening, what a wast of licence payers money. Can they not get it through their thick heads that nowhere near everybody in this country want to watch people hitting a little yellow ball over a net for 3 or 4 hours at a time, its a load of crap, dreading the Olympics, think it will be a fortnight on the Discovery Channel for me

Well she might be okay but you've got to turn the sound down, all that grunting puts me off
