Eugenie :lovedup: definitely one of my up and coming faves..

[Munchkins]

Ik it will probably not happen, but i'd love Aga to win Wimbledon. She's been my favourite since like 2010/11ish and idk i just find her tactical gameplay way more better than power baseline play. Hmm i'd love to her to win a grandslam so much:hugesmile:

[Locke.]

****, when Sabine makes it to Round 4 she will have Serena.

I demand the draw to be made again.

Hang on hang on, looks like I have nothing to be worried about

@AaronH02056: Lisicki has defeated the French Open champ 4 of the last 5 years

[MTVN]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BNOe_z-CIAAErOG.jpg:large

Good god

[Munchkins]

I hate it when the draw is 1 vs 4 and 2 vs 3
should always be 1 vs 3 and 2 vs 4 imo, oh well

[Novo]

I actually thought Ana looked the best last night until Aga went into full on GIP mode and stole the show

Kirilenko v Robson in the first round is a bit ****, i really like Kiri but want Robson to go far as well

[Locke.]

Might have to upgrade Robson to second place if she keeps looking as good as that

[Jords]

Kirilenko v Robson in the first round is a bit ****, i really like Kiri but want Robson to go far as well

Not happy about that either.

[Novo]

Serena could meet Zheng in Round 2 though.. great news since she nearly beat her last year at Wimbledon, if she can somehow beat Serena then Aga even on current form can go the distance without Vika or Maria to worry about until the final

[Novo]

Vika's predicted run is - Koehler - Pennetta - Cornet - Jankovic - Kvitova - Sharapova - Serena

Nice easy start and then 3 former champions in a row

[IheartBB]

Kvitova ain't getting that far, unfortunately. She's done :bawling:

[Novo]

Shots fired from Maria at Serena

Sharapova lashes HARD at Serena. "She should talk about her own relationship, her own boyfriend, who was married and is getting divorced"


Sharapova on Serena's comments : found it "sad" but have big "respect" for Serena's career. But says that if Serena wants to talk abt...Relationships she should start by her own "with her boyfriend who is a married man and is now getting a divorce."

At the end of the day, we have a tremendous amount of respect for what we do on the court, I just think she should be talking about her accomplishments, her achievements, rather than everything else, that's just getting attention & controversy. If she wants to talk about something personal, maybe she should talk about her relationship & her boyfriend that was married and is getting a divorce & has kids"

[Locke.]

Just went for a Nadal and Sharapova double at 39/1, well worth it at those odds

[Novo]

Its Wimbledon Monday ^_^

[Novo]

Ah yes, just a few hours now

[Shaun]

[Drew.]

Wimbledon dayyy

[Novo]

Get Donna out of your Avatar

[Drew.]

i am now ready for the next 2 weeks

[King Gizzard]

*come on tim obligatory post*

HERE WE GO

[Novo]

Puig 6-3 3-0 up against Errani

[Novo]

Ana wins 7-6 6-0 against Razzano

[Shaun]

oh Errani, you flop.

[Marc]

Ana :dance2:

[Marc]

Errani ha2

[Brother Leon]

King Roger's shoes were 5*>>


Now Vika needs to hurry up so I can watch Nadal.

[Drew.]

Vika has spent a majority of this game on the ground crying and she is still destroying Koehler

[Drew.]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BNh1mgfCcAE6wRk.jpg

[Novo]

Poor Vika :(

[Shaun]

Just saw a replay of it on bbc2, looked painful :/

[Locke.]

Koehler is an absolutely pathetic player, I can't even bring myself to support her over Vika of all people

An unbelievably poor performance by her

[Drew.]

someone show Koehler the directions to the nearest jobcentre

[Novo]

Vika's reaction at first made me think she has broken something, she played so clever after she got injured though, controlled every rally from the center and tried not to move around at all

[Novo]

Kristina is going to knock Sharapova out

[Drew.]

you did predict Sharapova would be going home early

[Jords]

Kristina best get this first set please.

[Munchkins]

So glad Vika managed to battle through :love:

Konta and Jankovic are slipping loads on the grass too :(

[Munchkins]

Also this may annoy some people, but is it just me who gets irritated by the people who only watch tennis during wimbledon, and act like they're the biggest fans, yet can only name about 3 players -___-
I asked someone if they watched any other tournaments and they said no, who cares aout any other grand slams or tournaments :p

[Drew.]

some of the other big tennis tournaments are only shown on Sky and Eurosport, plus Wimbledon is big in England so i cant blame people for taking an interest in it

[Jords]

I dont think it matters what people enjoy from a sport to be fair :tongue:

The only time I show interest in football is The World Cup for example... I could barely name players.

[MTVN]

Why on earth is Maria not on telly

[Munchkins]

I know, i'm all for everyone getting into it, it's just when they act as the biggest fan, i'm not making sense so i'll stop :joker:

[MTVN]

Oh ffs just realised Maria is on BBC 1, had it on the Nadal game on BBC 2 for the last half hour, I checked the red button and went to see if it was on BBC 3, but didn't think to have a look if the main channel was showing it

[Jords]

Oh MTVN :laugh:

[Drew.]

the Nadal match is much better than Sharapova, this Darcis guy is giving him a run for his money

[Marc]

Well then

[Drew.]

oh Nadal

[Marc]

Poor Kristina

[Marc]

Triocki continuing to troll the main players in slams

[Marc]

Wickmayer out? Surprising considering she got to the Semis in Eastbourne

[Jords]

Andy on BBC1 now against Becker.

[Marc]

:love: the crowd. Every point, they're amazing

[Marc]

I wish I could not work for two weeks

[Brother Leon]

Rafa :joker: fs lol

[Jayson]

Darcis will win Wimbledon 2013

[Black Dagger]

lol nadal.

[Jords]

Darcis :worship:

[Marc]

This is so random :joker:

[Drew.]

wow

[Novo]

" Come on Steve! "

[Shaun]

come on Darcis :worship: can't stand Nadal

[Marc]

And there was everybody looking forward to the Roger Rafa QF :laugh:

[Shaun]

...wow. :o

[Shaun]

so glad I changed to Federer at the last minute :joker:

[Marc]

**** me :joker: great win

[Brother Leon]

:joker:

Fed it is then :(

[Marc]

Nadal really wasn't all there but that's no excuse, this is a Grand Slam you've gotta bring it from Day 1

[Jords]

Yassssssss Darcis!

[Marc]

Aw he's so nice though, waiting for Darcis! He's such a nice bloke.

[MTVN]

Ahaha

[Black Dagger]

G'wan Darcis.

[Drew.]

well thats a good sign for Murray

[Marc]

Wow

[MTVN]

Rafa blatantly started feigning a limp cos he was getting destroyed

[King Gizzard]

amazing

[Drew.]

the bbc website isnt showing Donnas game :(

[Novo]

**** sake, Murray and Tsonga semi with Tsonga winning please

[Novo]

Donna lost the first set 6-3

[Drew.]

shes down 3-0 in the 2nd

[Novo]

to much to soon for Donna

[Novo]

Genie v Ana next

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BNiCDSpCYAAAoOZ.jpg:large

[Z]

Can't believe Nadal's out already :joker: hate him!

[BigSister]

Im still reeling over nadal getting knocked out
Looking forward to tomorrow though

[Marc]

Aw people hating Rafa :( he's a really nice guy off court

[Wildcat!]

yall thought Mari, and Azarenka were loud, wait till you see marias next opponent.

7-7WLIqa2M0

Seriously, these girls be taking the piiss now! :laugh:

[Z]

That's ridiculous

[Jords]

yall thought Mari, and Azarenka were loud, wait till you see marias next opponent.

7-7WLIqa2M0

Seriously, these girls be taking the piiss now! :laugh:

Surely its more tiring screaming like that?

[Jords]

Aw people hating Rafa :( he's a really nice guy off court

Comes across smug to me, I enjoyed him getting a wooping today :tongue:

[Marc]

Date-Krumm :worship:

[MTVN]

Terrible from Watson

[MTVN]

Serena will only take about 20 minutes to win this

[Black Dagger]

****ing jobber watson

[Locke.]

Good, we need this one and Novak's over with quickly to ensure Lisicki is on Centre Court later

[Black Dagger]

My bby though :lovedup:

Even if she did just have to beat a jobber, she's been losing far too much recently.

[Novo]

Poor Mandy has been fed to the beast

[Shaun]

oooh, Minella winning 2 games.

[Novo]

Serena slacking on the Ace count today

[Shaun]

this umpire is annoying. Putting emphasis on the "ty" parts of thirty and forty... four tea, love. Weird.

I find it amusing that everyone in the crowd's supporting Minella :laugh:

[Shaun]

love when challenges are right :love:

[Novo]

Even the US Open crowd support anyone who Serena is playing

[Black Dagger]

Oooh, go on Bernard <3.

[Munchkins]

Laura playing amazing :love:

6-3 3-1 up

[MTVN]

Kirilenko can't handle her at all

[Black Dagger]

Love saying I'm a fan of Laura when she's playing like this :love:

[Black Dagger]

(Now I've said that I'll jinx her and Kiri will come back and win this set 6-4)

[Shaun]

why have i never seen Kirilenko before :lovedup:

surprised how well Laura's doing.

[MTVN]

****s sake Lucas

[Black Dagger]

oops.

[Munchkins]

why have i never seen Kirilenko before :lovedup:

surprised how well Laura's doing.

I love Kiri :love: shes done well this year

[Munchkins]

(Now I've said that I'll jinx her and Kiri will come back and win this set 6-4)

FFS this could happen

[Black Dagger]

FFS this could happen

IT WON'T :amazed:

Hopefully she can break now <3.

[Jords]

Kiri :(

Robson was awesome today!

[Black Dagger]

****ing love her :lovedup:

I swear to god if she loses to some no-name jobber in round 2, I'll hit her with a racket!!

[Munchkins]

LAURA! well done :cheer:
up against some randomner ive never heard of next round

[Locke.]

Chop chop Kerber, finish this off quickly

[BigSister]

Yay Laura ^_^
Also glad my 2 predictions for the prediction game went through too

[Loukas]

Laura played a fantastic game, going into the match i didn't think she was gonna beat her the way she did. Well done Laura! Shame Watson didn't do so well but she put up a good fight nonetheless.

[Novo]

Ula!!!!!!!!!!

[Novo]

Watch Robson get knocked out by Duque next round after that

[Locke.]

Get in Kerber!!!

2 of my top 3 though, just relying on the most important one Sabine now

[Novo]

Sabine is finished

[Novo]

just noticed that if Lisicki wins today she'll probably face Eastbourne Winner Elena Vesnina

[Locke.]

Sabine will finish these all on Grass and then murder Serena in Round 4, I have nothing to worry about

[Marc]

Laura :love: proud

[Drew.]

i might get to see Laura on Thurs :amazed:

[Marc]

Watch Robson get knocked out by Duque next round after that

Ugh don't.

[Marc]

i might get to see Laura on Thurs :amazed:

Maybe!! They could stick her on centre though... :suspect:

[Drew.]

Maybe!! They could stick her on centre though... :suspect:

i hope not.. i wouldn't mind seeing her

[Jords]

Bloody Simon

[Jords]

i might get to see Laura on Thurs :amazed:

oh hope you get to :D

[Novo]

Come on Aga

[Locke.]

I suggest you all put the red button on RIGHT NOW

[Jords]

Come on Aga

:worship:

[Novo]

Watching Aga > Watching Lisicki

[Locke.]

The good old BBC clearly disagree

[Novo]

after that silly comment it would be funny if they put the Aga game on BB2 after the current one ends in a minute

[Locke.]

A nice ace to start us off

[Marc]

Get this Brit flop off my telly

[Novo]

Sabine is struggling meanwhile Aga is 4-1 up

[Locke.]

Lisicki breaks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Novo]

6-1 Aga!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Novo]

**** sake Tara, get back to Hong Kong

[Locke.]

Lisicki 6-1!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sabine means business once again at Wimbledon

[Novo]

Schiavone is injured

[Locke.]

She is fine, Jafar just isn't a match for Sabine on grass

[Locke.]

"ohhhhhhh she's just too good"

"Sabine Lisicki is showing she really does have it all here"

[Marc]

Sabine playing really well, I'd say she could beat Vika in this form

[Novo]

**** off :joker:

Lisicki only looks good on grass because she is dreadful on any other surface

[Locke.]

Very true Marc. Vika is ****ed either way, whoever wins out of Lisicki and Serena in Round 4 will be winning the title

[Marc]

**** off :joker:

Lisicki only looks good on grass because she is dreadful on any other surface

Well, you'll be sorry

[Novo]

Sabine is lucky she is playing an old injured and double fault loving 33 year old

[Marc]

Simon ousted by Lopez again

[Novo]

Aga will rip Lisicki a new one

[Marc]

She won't come close enough, serena looms

[Locke.]

Lisicki appears to be getting to you, you are ****ting yourself already and it's only round 1

[Munchkins]

It annoys me that Lisicki only does well at Wimbledon, i really like her :?

[Locke.]

Yes Ms Commentator, I'm sure Serena is watching this very closely as well

[Novo]

6-1 6-1 Aga

Lisicki will be ****ting herself when she sees the Polish Princess in that sort of form

[Munchkins]

Aga :lovedup: i wish so much she could win.. my fave player..

[Munchkins]

And Ula got through too :lovedup:

[Marc]

Aga's lost something in her game recently.. I wouldn't be surprised if she was 'shocked' before the Quarters

[Black Dagger]

Watch Robson get knocked out by Duque next round after that

I will hit you with a racket if that happens now...

[Novo]

Aga's lost something in her game recently.. I wouldn't be surprised if she was 'shocked' before the Quarters

well whatever she lost it was back today

[Marc]

well whatever she lost it was back today

I believe the hair dye has ruined her

[Locke.]

"Its been an onslaught of Lisicki tonight"

Some great quotes throughout this. Time to serve for the match.

[Marc]

Thrashing

[Locke.]

Lisicki!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A true honor to watch that. We are just not worthy.

[Locke.]

Taking pictures with the kids in the crowd and everything, she is such a great person. Much nicer than that Vika

[Novo]

Out of form Aga - Dropped 2 games
Sabine on her best surface - Dropped 3 games

[Novo]

She's got Vesnina next so she out anyway

[Marc]

Francesca Schiavone 45th in the world
Yvonne Meusburger 116th in the world

[Novo]

Schiavone might as well be 100 though at the minute..

4 Round 1 exits
2 Round 2 exits
and only been past Round 2 the whole year at the french

She's finished, it's a miracle Lisicki didn't bagel her

[Locke.]

Schiavone is a grand slam winner, no one even knows who the other girl is

[Marc]

Meusburger has played only one tour event this year.

[Novo]

stop making excuses, Aga stole the show today and you 2 are trying to take it away from her

[Marc]

Laura deserves it

[Novo]

don't be silly, Kiri clearly got the old In-Out from Ovechhkin last night and couldn't walk probably

[Jords]

http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/68378000/jpg/_68378426_rob_reu.jpg

[Brother Leon]

Andy on suicide watch. Was obvious Lisicki outlasts her anyway.

[Novo]

One of the most saddest days in history, a true champion has had to retire due to someone not making sure Court 1 was safe to play on, truth is the people working at Wimbledon conspired to get this great champion out so Laura Robson has a better chance of winning, a sick and twisted thing to do but the Champ will bounce back

[Munchkins]

Poor Vika :(

Time to watch Genie :lovedup: she better beat Ana

[Munchkins]

OMG Eugenie leading 4-1 :lovedup:

[Novo]

Genie > Robson

[Brother Leon]

Dustin Brown>>>

Coolest mofo at Wimbledon.

[Lee.]

Dustin Brown>>>

Coolest mofo at Wimbledon.

He's beating my all time favourite tennis player... But I think he could be forgiven. I'm liking him a lot!

[Novo]

Beyond The Baseline ‏@SI_BTBaseline 2m
Azarenka says courts more slippery this year. "The court was not in a very good condition that day…IDK if it's the court or the weather."


Sue the bastards Vika

Dosey bitch should be extra careful then!

[Black Dagger]

I think Nedal has done something to them all :sad:

[Novo]

Even with Vika Withdrawing it seems that Ana still can't get any further then her :pipe:

[Shaun]

darcy and vika :(

dustin was awesome to watch earlier tho

[Novo]

Genie got so lucky to make it past R1 against Voskoboeva and then she just crushes Ana like that

[Black Dagger]

No wonder I see you have now just lost 2 followers

I was about to say, how would you know that lolol, didn't see I had some automated tweet.

Bitches clearly love their Bargain Hunt :idc:

[Drew.]

oh dear Wozniacki

[Novo]

Another one who has fall victim to the **** courts over here

[Black Dagger]

OMFG :joker:

[Novo]

Someone will have to actually break their neck or end their career in some way before they sort it out, that's the sad thing

[Black Dagger]

I shouldn't laugh at injuries but today has been ridic.

[BigSister]

And now Wozniacki has gone out now............

[MTVN]

Great to see the path clearing for Maria to win

[Marc]

So many bloody retirements today :joker:

Even with Vika Withdrawing it seems that Ana still can't get any further then her :pipe:

That's cos she's s*** lol

[Novo]

Tsonga is ****ed now, this is a joke

[Lee.]

What's up with Tsonga? Injured too ??

[Drew.]

Tsonga is ****ed now, this is a joke

[BigSister]

I know he asked for the trainer but thought he was ok now........
I blame Grace jones and her rafa spell

[Novo]

Gulbis fall near the net as well

[Novo]

De Brito is destroying Maria

[Marc]

Er.. Maria?
