Wimbledon 2013

[The Acolyte]

You could say that about Serena Williams, but doesn't seem to have done her any harm.

 

Compare the pictures of her when she beat her sister in the wimbledon final to what she looks like now. Her arse and arms have doubled in size.

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

[Champ]

Anyone got a running order for so I can plan the rest of my day.....

Murray will batter her, she'll do well to take more than 4 games.

Has anyone gone to watch a game? I fancy catching a match on one of my days off next week but have heard on the day tickets can be an absolute nightmare to secure, especially if I get to see anyone decent.

Perfect. Laura Robson, air my mother, back for Djokovic later. Sorted

[Champ]

Erakovic v Robson. A very slow start by Robson with Erakovic breaking Robson's first service game. 3-0

[Mendoza]

She's getting battered.

[Champ]

She's getting battered.

 

And you dont have the time in 3 sets....

[Strontium]

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

She's 19 years old

 

She's over the (Henman) Hill.

Robson looks a little overweight to me. This isn't be a body fascist, she does! She is a sportswomen and shouldn't really be carrying an ounce too much weight.

 

Not compared to Erakovic she doesnt....who is trouncing her at the moment

[Mendoza]

Nutcase Youzhny is through, he's playing Murray next!

Henman kept getting losing to Sampras at Wimbledon, no disgrace there!

 

She does look better when she is the underdog.

[Stickman]

Robson's getting tore a new arsehole....hopefully as the old one is like the 79 Netherley bus.

And Ivanisevic, Hewitt, Grosjean, Philippoussis...

[Guest LFD]

And Ivanisevic, Hewitt, Grosjean, Philippoussis...

 

No disgrace losing to Ivanisevic and Hewitt either at the time.

 

But he lost to Sampras a fair few times.

Three. Think Sampras always beat him at Queens club too.

[Strontium]

She's 19 years old

 

 

Yeah, but she's playing a 25 year old who has never been past the third round of a Grand Slam (until today, anyway). Robson is already ranked higher than Erakovic has ever been. She should be winning matches like this, it's clear she's finding it difficult to deal with the pressure.

Yeah his best chance was the year he lost to G Ivanisevic. Didn't they go off because of the rain, when Henman was on top? Then after that break Ivanisevic was a different player.

 

He was a very good player on grass Henman, just not quite good enough.

Yes, Goran had completely lost it, kicked the net, then it rained. Sounds bad but i'm glad Goran won. He was always a favourite of mine, and the final turned out to be one of the greatest ever.

[Strontium]

Hahaha, yeah, Henman used to do this too.

[Mendoza]

Blimey, one set all. 'Come on Laura.'
