Ok good to know. I was thinking that Murray's ma robbed a used johnny from a  bin somewhere and impregnated herself.

Kyrigos out injured, was in Murray's quarter of the draw.

He was 2 sets down at the time but has been injured for a few months.

He doesnt give 100% to tennis and will be a wasted talent.

Kyrigos is a complete **** but tennis needs more ****s. It lost something when Robin Söderling had to retire. He went out of his way to annoy all the big players on and off the court. They are all much too pally since he went.

Murray's Dad does turn up for his big Wimbledon matches with his new partner but always sits a long way apart from the said witch.

Wimbledon starts today ClapClapClap

I'm going on Wednesday but just to the outside courts.

Murray and Nadal playing today.

In the mens it will be one of the big 4 that will win it. Its amazing they have won it since 2003.
I don't see them all making the semi finals tho. 

The womens is wide open. Pliskova is the fav but we could see a new winner/1st time GS winner.


Outside courts can be very good, think it's court 2 and 18 you need to queue up for but the rest is just a free for all, Murray probably playing Wednesday I would imagine so there should be a good buzz about the place, enjoy it.

This Nadal Muller game is sensational.

Turn on BBC Two, if you're not already watching it.

The two commentators are incredibly annoying though, is that Murray's brother?

No,It's Leon Smith, Britain's Davis cup captain but the other annoying one is Simon Reed, Oliver Reeds brother!

I saw the names come up after I posted, was it not Jamie Baker? I cannot believe that though, Ollie took the personality in that litter!

I actually thought it sounded like Jamie Murray myself,so I looked up his twitter and in the comments some guy who sounded like he knew what he was talking about told those asking if it was Jamie Murray that it was in fact, Leon Smith.Having looked up Jamie Baker he's a retired GB Davis cup player from Glasgow, so looks like you could be right.

I felt at one point that I was going to spend the rest of my life watching that match.

That's probably wrapped up Luxembourg sports personality of the year for that lad.

It was Jamie Baker and he was annoying!
Great match - neither of them deserved to lose.

Nadal hasn't been past the 4th round of Wimbledon for 6 years now.
The experts say it's the knee injuries that prevent him getting down low enough which is required on grass.

Cilic will take Muller out in the next round.

Ladies 1/4 Final today

This is wide open without Serena.
The brits will want Konta to win but she is in the toughest part of the draw. 
Either way we should have a new winner as cant see Venus winning at 37!



Top half
Muguruza 14 (Former finalist) v  Kuznetsova 7
Rybarikova v Coco Vandeweghe 24

Bottom Half
Venus Williams 10 (has won here 5 times) v Ostapenko 13 (Just won the French)
Konta 6 v Halep 2

An edict seems to have recently gone around the BBC saying everyone must now refer to Konta as 'Jo' as Johanna maybe sounds too foreign? She has absolutely no British blood at all. Born in Sydney to Hungarian parents. She lived there until she was 14, then moved to Barcelona for 15 months and didn't move to the UK until she was almost 16.

The Aussies must be a bit sick at letting her slip through their fingers especially as Tomic hasn't turned out to be the player they were expecting and Kyrgios is probably too crazy to win a grand slam.

I have a feeling that the pressure of being Wimbledon favourite could catch up with her and she might lose to Halep but who knows as she seems to struggle herself with expectation in the grand slams.

Daily Heil praising her yet ? Their hypocrisy is outstanding "No foreigners unless they're quite good at sport!"

Have Ostapenka backed at 16s think she should have too much for Venus today.

Delighted Nadal got knocked out yesterday would be happy to see either Federer or Djokovic win.
