Wimbledon 2012 Sweepstake [Roy Mars III & Locke win]

[Marc]

http://www.tennisnow.com/Files/2012-Wimbledon/wimbledon_logo.aspx

Wimbledon is here!

The third Grand Slam tournament of the year, following on from the Roland Garros sweepstake. I am looking for 32 forum members to play and you'll be allocated male and female player(s).

This is just a little bit of fun and there is a little forum award that will be given out to the winners. You don't need to be a fan of tennis, you don't get to pick your players, you can just sign up and let the players do the rest of the hard work!

Everybody will be RANDOMLY allocated two seeded players for the tournament. It is hugely unlikely that a unseeded player will win Wimbledon this year, though that is a possibility, and if that rarity occurs the forum member with the player who gets the furthest will win.

Defending Champions are Black Dagger and Iceman who won the French Open 2012 sweepstake will be automatically entered into this sweepstake.

Whoever gets the female winner wins this award: http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forums/images/medals/tennisicon.gif

[Marc]

http://tennisconnected.com/home/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Del-Potro-No.-4.jpg

[IheartBB]

I never heard of him

I'd swap my guy for your guy any day of the week. And my guy is playing in a final today!

No one can have my girl though, she's MINE! :banana:

[Novo]

One day i will get Vika :(

[Jayson]

When I signed up for this I honestly said to myself "I'll get Tsonga" :joker:

Get ready to watch this bad boy win for me.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7e/Tsonga_Australian_Open_2009_1.jpg/396px-Tsonga_Australian_Open_2009_1.jpg

[Jordan.]

Oh dear

[Maia]

Well no chance of me winning then

[King Gizzard]

who the **** are mine

[Jordan.]

We've been victimised.

[MeMyselfAndI]

Are mine good?

[King Gizzard]

i know quite a few tennis players but I honestly have no idea who mine are lol

[Omah]

Which of mine is the best batter?

:conf:

[IheartBB]

who the **** are mine

Mayer is a bit of an over achiever. Zvonareva reached the final a couple of years ago. Don't expect a similar run this year though.

Are mine good?

Tipsarevic is a top 10 player. Very entertaining to watch and quite a character off court. Possible quarter finalist.

Peng has seen better days. I'm surprised she's still ranked high enough to be seeded to be honest.

[Marc]

:laugh: IheartBB instilling confidence in MeMyselfAndI there

[Marc]

James - Raonic & Lisciki

Big outsider.

[Jayson]

Look, you can all speculate, but at the end of the day we all know Tsonga and Schiavone are gonna pwn it this year.

Although I kinda wished I had gotten Peng as my female. What a surname.

[Marc]

She's not Peng though.

[Jayson]

That's true. Got a face like a bulldog.

If only she was decent on grass I would actually have a chance. Think I'm gonna have to rely on Tsonga to enter beast mode and win it all.

[Jayson]

http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/41135000/jpg/_41135959_schiavone_getty_270.jpg

ew

[Maia]

Sort of wish I got Tsonga not gonna lie

[Locke.]

Happy with mine. Federer and Maria the GIP

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Hj_JoPmTI00/TtjOmIQ8nXI/AAAAAAAAB-M/BmoXrPXidII/s1600/09_maria-kirilenko_01.jpg

[Jayson]

Sort of wish I got Tsonga not gonna lie

Obviously. He looks like a well groomed Hulk.

[Marc]

She's the better looking Russian Maria

[Shaun]

Gasquet and Sharapova :amazed:

[Marc]

Pretty decent that

[King Gizzard]

my girl isn't even fit

[Marc]

gutted

[Jayson]

my girl isn't even fit

Fitter than mine.

[Marc]

Nathan I hate yours.

She's terrible

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Who the hell is Stepanek & Cibulkova

[Marc]

Who the hell is Stepanek & Cibulkova

http://www4.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Radek+Stepanek+Championships+Wimbledon+2011+IYAw43 ODpkEl.jpg

and

http://www4.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Dominika+Cibulkova+Championships+Wimbledon+yojmACm 4h1Ol.jpg

Cibulkova is pretty decent, got to Quarters last year and beat Azarenka at the French Open this year but Stepanek has seen better days.

[joeysteele]

Gasquet and Sharapova :amazed:

You have 2 really good ones there Shaun, Gasquet is one of my real favourite Tennis players, I would like to see him get a Wimbledon title and he has the shots and ability to do so if he keeps focussed.
Sharapova is excellent anyway.

[BigSister]

Ive heard of Azarenka but no chance in the males. Either Djoko Federer or Nadal will win
Oh she stopped me winning the australian open sweep with Petra. And shes world number 2

[Iceman]

Gasquet and Sharapova :amazed:

Take care of Sharapova for me :(

[Marc]

Serena and Nadal

[Marc]

Isner v. Mahut possible second round?! :amazed:

[Niamh.]

I'd swap my guy for your guy any day of the week. And my guy is playing in a final today!

No one can have my girl though, she's MINE! :banana:

admittedly I know nothing about Tennis :joker:

[seanraff07]

Nadal, ya beauty!

[Marc]

Jankovic is out! I don't mind though, because I love Clijsters :love:

Niculescu, Penneta, Isner, Granollers also out.

[Marc]

Berdych out, and with it Jamie has lost both his players!

[Shaun]

watched the Ferrero/Djokovic and Sharapova/Rodionova matches earlier, both good games.

[Jordan.]

Poor old Jamie. Bet I'll be following him tomorrow.

[Marc]

Isner v. Mahut possible second round?! :amazed:

Aw it won't happen now, but I'm happy for Falla! Great win for him.

[Marc]

Robson off to a flying start!

[Jayson]

I'll allow Robson to beat Schiavone because she's a bit of a looker.

[Marc]

Oh...

I still see her as a 14 year old :laugh: makes what you just said seem very creepy.

C'mon Laura!

[arista]

http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/02258/robson_2258926b.jpg

[Marc]

C'mon Laura, you're playing very well and Schiavone is having medical problems. C'monnn

[Jayson]

Oh...

I still see her as a 14 year old :laugh: makes what you just said seem very creepy.

C'mon Laura!

She's 18 so I'm not a weirdo :hmph:

[Marc]

I never said you were, you weirdo :hmph:

[Marc]

I'd love to watch the match between Dolgopolov and Bogomolov purely for the umpire

[Marc]

Last year's quarter finalist, Tomic out in first round. Goffin, up and comer

http://tiptoetennis.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/goffin_has_a_date_with_his_idol_postnoon_news.jpg

[IheartBB]

^ Speaking of people who look 14 years old...

Good win though. And maybe this will be a wake up call for Tomic.

[Marc]

7 female seeds and 6 male seeds out in the first round :crazy:

[Marc]

Brother Leon on his way out here..

[BigSister]

I didnt mind losing as I saw my defeator win junior wimbledon. Now its all on my girl.

[Marc]

We keep losing people D:

[Marc]

And we lose InOne.

4 players out already and we've not even finished Round 1

[Jayson]

Who have Tsonga and Schiavone got to play next?

[Marc]

Who have Tsonga and Schiavone got to play next?

Check the OP :pipe:

[Jayson]

omg fine

[Jayson]

Ah they should cruise through to the next round.

[Omah]

If I understand the batting order, my two, Lopez and Safarova passed the baton and went for the early shower ..... :idc:

[MTVN]

Still going strong I see :pipe:

[BigSister]

more people out today lets hope we dont lose anymore soon

[Marc]

Another one bites the dust, LemonJam

[Marc]

seanraff loses his first player, not the player anybody expected.

[Marc]

Jayson, Shaun, Locke, Mollie, Roy Mars and Iceman all have both of their players left

[Locke.]

Shaun will be losing his female entrant tomorrow

[Novo]

congrats on winning Bigsister

[Marc]

Shaun will be losing his female entrant tomorrow

Not tomorrow, it'll be Monday

[Locke.]

And please say it isn't yet another 11 o'clock start

[Marc]

It'll be on centre or No.1 so 1pm

[Marc]

Aw Rosol and Goffin lost :(

[Jayson]

If Tsonga stops being so lazy he could win this year

[Iceman]

Still have both of mine :o

[Iceman]

Shaun loses Sharapova.

[Marc]

He didn't treat her as well as you did :idc:

[Marc]

Ohh I just realised you could go out today, Eoin

[Locke.]

Oh wait I better start supporting Federer

[Iceman]

Ohh I just realised you could go out today, Eoin

But im already half through!

[Marc]

Eoin, I'm putting her out already

[Shaun]

:bored: ****ing Lisicki

[Iceman]

:bored: ****ing Ivanovic

[Marc]

Shaun, Niamh, IheartBB all out today.

[King Gizzard]

I swear I Mayer was knocked out on day 1 :suspect:

[Marc]

No.

[Marc]

James and Dean now out.

James Dean :shocked:

[Locke.]

James you should know that you were ROBBED

[Marc]

He'll appreciate that

[MeMyselfAndI]

Peng lost D:

[Marc]

Yeah she's not so Peng

[Marc]

With that, Locke loses his first player.

Everybody is equal now. Iceman, Mollie, tomflint, Locke, Nathan, Jason, KG. and myself.

4 of us will go out tomorrow, weather permitting.

[Niamh.]

fgs Marc

[Jayson]

KG will be knocked out tomorrow :pipe:

[Marc]

fgs Marc

Not my fault like, you suck

[Jayson]

KG will be knocked out tomorrow :pipe:

Or whenever Tsonga is playing :pipe:

[Marc]

Eoin out,

Nathan on his way out

[KG.]

Kohlschreiber you long streak of piss :bored:

But I'm glad Tsonga has made it to the semis.

[Marc]

Come to think of it it's pretty impressive that the no. 26, 27 and 31st seed have stayed in it this long, based on seeding alone they should have been out in the third round.

[Marc]

Mollie et joeystelle out

[BigSister]

Im out now although if serena wins ill be happy. In a way lol

[Marc]

Locke in the final with either me or Jayson

Roy Mars III will face Lewis. in the final for the women
