[Ali]

I think I will be able to watch a few games ... Will get serious at quarter finals stage though

 

[majj]

i loved wimbledon and used to watch it religiously when all the old greats used to play like becker, edberg, mcenroe.

i liked watchin ivenisevic adn rafter but theyre not playing this year.

i think i ll watch it just to keep up with the tradtion!

 

[bongo10]

tennis is interesting and i'll wach it
my favorite wimbledon match was the one between my country fellow Goran Ivanisevic and Rafter
i was so happy that Ivanisevic won that match

 

[Febrina]

No Tommy Haas and Marat Safin :down:
But I'd go for Goran and Ferrero

 

[Dragon]

WHY ISNT SAFIN THERE? :'(

 

[Majed]

i miss all the great Sampras, Agassi, Chang, and Becker games

i still think Tennis is one of the kewlest games to watch. i tried playing once when i was really into tennis years ago, but playing it is way to hard.

 

[Dj Juve]

it's cool and all, but the sounds the players make when playing are abit weird Ahhhhh! Uuuuhhh! Eahhhhh!

 

[Tom]

Justine Henin picked up an injury yesterday and withdrew as a precaution. She is expected to be ok for Wimbledon

I was gonna make her favourite to win the thing. If she's not totally fit, its surely going to be Williams again :groan:

Mens I think it will be between Agassi, Roddick and JCF

 

[Slagathor]

++ [ originally posted by Paolo_Montero ] ++
John Van Lottum (Ned) v (17) Gustavo Kuerten (Bra)

That's what happens when Krajicek quits. Some bloke I've never heard of gets to Wimbledon all of a sudden...

Arvind Parmar (Gbr) v (8) Sjeng Schalken (Ned)

(20) Yevgeny Kafelnikov (Rus) v Raemon Sluiter (Ned)

Excellent draws!

Mariano Zabaleta (Arg) v Mark Philippoussis (Aus)
Jamie Delgado (Gbr) v (2) Andre Agassi (USA)

Easy one for Philippoussis I'm sure and Delgado-Agassi is definitely worth a watch!

 

[Tom]

Philipoussis will be the most dangerous non-seed I reckon. Plus this Belgian bloke I saw demolish Lleyton Hewitt two weeks ago that I'd never seen before, looks seven foot tall and has a ginger afro

 

[Slagathor]

Really? And he's Belgian ... weird that that don't ring any bells with me :undecide:

 

[Tom]

alright the afro was made up but he has crap long hair anyway with a headband

dick norman he's called, heard of him? apparently he is a figure of legend in belgium, but not in a good way

 

[Slagathor]

Oh Dick Norman

Well, what do you expect with a name like that?

 

[Dj Juve]

he was good, but i think he had a injury or sth...

 

[Tom]

you don't like him, I think he's kinda cool

his serves are the best I've seen recently but then he tries a delicate lob or voley and completely fvcks up

 

[Slagathor]

If that's your definition of cool then I hope you find me a suburban tosser

 

[Tom]

mark my words, he will defeat at least one of the seeds at wimbldeon

 

[Slagathor]

Oh no doubt - it's just that every time you get your hopes up, he self-destructs in a real humiliating way
