Here's a new Wimbledon thread or those of us who love the tennis this time of year. Who's your favourite player? For me, it's Roger Federer, but Rafa Nadal comes a close second. smile

I hope that Lisicki becomes the Wimbledon champ. I like her attitude. smile

I'm hoping for a Bartoli - Lisicki final, but this afternoon's women's semis are going to be enjoyable, whatever the outcome smile

They must dread that interview afterwards, he always asks the most stupid questions and often repeats the same one again in a slightly different way.

That Spaniard was a bit of a hunk, smile

His interview was no different from all his others. That's how he is. He's a tennis player, not a media lovey.

It was the interviewer who was terrible. Inane and stupid questions. Andy did his best.

It was a Samson thing; when his hair unravelled so did his game. Phew. Didn't actually watch it; sat in the living room with the telly on reading the sunday papers and listening out for the oohs and aahs. I'm used to race that last a few minutes; these games that last for hours wear me out. I'll have to watch the replay now. Can't believe Murray came back and won.

I wish they wouldn't do that thing with their fist and a bent arm - it looks so aggressive.

Butty, he looks rather like the 1950s Brylcreem advertisements.

What with yelling, "Come on, Andy", alternating with "Shut up Boris", my voice is getting decidedly ropey.

Andy's doing the best he can. I'm cheering him on!
I'm still concerned about Verdasco's hair....... has he gone off to do more waxing/spraying perhaps....? wink

I need to go and do a big shop but can't leave the TV, Andy seems to have rejoined the game now! Luckily the big supermarkets stay open for ever!
