Wimbledon 2010

Just another course in the feast of sport over the next few months (with the World Cup, US Open golf, Grand Prix tonight, Rugby Tests, SoO, Tour de France, NBA Finals and so on) but it's worth mentioning that another crack opened in the Federer invincibility shield today - Lleyton Hewitt beat him in 3 tight sets at the Halle tournament just now - the first time Federer had lost in Halle in years and the first time Hewitt had beaten him in 16 matches.

Still, with Rafa losing early at Queens, there could be a totally new winner this year.

And probably won't be Lleyton Hewitt.

However given my recent predictons that guarantees him a win

As much as I hate the qunt, I wouldn't be upset if Roddick won it.

Good call JGK, Roddick deserves it

why do you hate him? he is actually quite a character.

I'll go for Nadal - if he can be bothered.

It will still be a Federer-Nadal final. They're allowed to take their foot off the gas for the warm up tournaments.

Apparently Hewitt has is now 7-0 in finals on grass courts.

Yeah, yeah. Bandwagonning of the highest order. Tennis sh!ts me to tears but if an Aussie is going OK, count me in.

And maybe Sammy Stosur can carry her French form in to Wimbleton.

Fed loses the first set...

Fed loses second set and is struggling in the third.

Could be the biggest upset since Peter Doohan beat Becker in '87.

Fed saved 4 break points at 4-4 in the 3rd.

Roddick is petulant on-court and in post-match interviews. He frequently abuses the umpire and somehow manages to get away with it.

I used to like Roddick, but he's grown too big for his boots.

And now breaks Falla to take the 3rd set.

He is still in a world of poop though.

Fed now down a break in the 4th.

Fed breaks back.

...and then saves another break point before going up 6-5 in the 4th.


I can't recall him serving as badly as this on grass.

Falla needs to win this tiebreak or I fear he'll collapse like the West Indies batting order in the fifth set.

And on we go to the 5th...

And so it came to pass... Federer six-love in the fifth.

Sania Mirza crashes out in the first round in straight sets.

What an overhyped show pony.

If she was not good looking in people's eyes (not mine) and a muslim, she would've struggled to find even one sponsor for her.

Saina Nehwal is far more good looking, and most importantly far more successful. But she isn't hyped (or famous) half as much as Sania is.

93/100 people will say that Sania Mirza is better looking

how ever neither one of them is as good looking as Ayesha Siddique.

59-59 in the 5th set between Istner & Mahut!

FFS!!
