Wimbledon 2013

[Champ]

Robson clearly has a ton of ability, as she's beaten so many top players. But then she'll come unstuck against the mediocre, like today. Once you get to a certain level, so much of it is in the mind.

 

She's a female Tim Henman.

 

She's 19 years old

 

I jumped to Laura's defence there; perhaps what I should have asked was, what do you mean by 'a Tim Henman'?

 

Fair play to the girl, she's just taken the second set

A Tim Henman = all the ability to win a Slam, but a bottler

I'd noticed that too

I cant argue that he didnt win a slam but rather than praise his achievements you would appear to prefer to denigrate him for his lack of making that one final step.

 

And I need to return to my original point that you are comparing someone at the very beginning of her career to another player's full playing history. Whatever happens in this match you cant have failed to be impressed by her comeback from that first set

I'm not sure about that.

 

Not sure he had enough talent to win it in the end, his second serve was too weak. Think he made the most of his talent and did well to get the a few semi finals.

 

If Robson has a similar record to Henman on grass she'll do very well.

Shhhh! See!

 

Although although.....

And I'm meant to be going out in 10min.....just need to see if I can postpone that

She will probably claim she was distracted by Erakovic's nipples in the early part of the match. I know I was.

[Stickman]

She wins this game and she wins the match loses it and? ....

 

it's Robson's choice I guess

[Mendoza]

Match point Robson

Designed for comfort not glamour, that dress

Much more convincing cheer there, girl!!

[Mendoza]

Peter Jackson, Russell Crowe, Jake The Muss... your girl took one hell of a beating.

Brilliant showing that at the end. She's going to be a cracking player in years to come.

 

 

At the minute though, she struggles to deal with power and the likes of Williams will smash her unless she learns fast.

[Captain]

So, what do you think about this proposed Murray v Williams match?

 

I'd love to see it. Mano a mano.

I would. Laura Robson that is, he, I mean she is quite tidy I reckon. Not as tidy as Zakopalova though:

Mandy Minella is tidier than the two named above. Someone posted a few pics a page or so back.

Chardy v Djokovic

 

Plain sailing for Djokovic so far, taking the first set in 29 minutes

This is as straightforward as it gets. I see Ferrer is in a bit of trouble though. Likely to be going 2 sets to 1 down soon.

Its not really a contest, is it? I nipped out to water the plants, come back in and that's the second set in another half hour

Flicked between the tennis and Glasto but what I did see of the tennis Djokovic was awesome. Will take some beating if he plays like that in the second week.

[Trumo]

Does Owen Wilson have a twin sister and if so, what's she doing playing against David Ferrer?

Did you say awesome? He just brushed Chardy aside there....seemingly without effort
