Wimbledon

[TheSpyder]

Starts Monday and looking forward to it. Working out of the house is great as you can watch all the matches on TV and on their web site. For $25 you can get total access on the web as well as watch and download many of the current matches and, even better, you can do the same for classic matches in the past. I downloaded Federer vs. Sampras and Arthur Ashe vs. Jimmy Connors last year as well as several others that are great.

Not sure how many tennis fans we have but it doesn't get any better than Wimbledon.

The roof makes its debut next year. @ Ivanovic losing. That girl was on a tear.

Ivanovic looked exhausted mentally and physically. Still has a way to go in her conditioning.

I thought about betting Ancic today. If I'm not mistaken his odds were like +240 to win.

Edit. Was +170. Still decent odds but nothing to lose sleep over.

while its not on the same level as "Henmania", the brits and Andy Murray are really starting to bug me.. I hope Gasquet finishes him off..

I admittedly know jack sh*t about tennis...but watching Nadal and Federer this morning. These guys are amazing. An incredible amount of power combined with touch.

[TheSpyder]

Agree. I play alot and someone once told me it's a lot like boxing and these two are Ali & Fraizer. It's amazing how much mental strategy behind what they do.

This has all the makings of being a great one.

It appears Federer coming to the net is something he was playing with in the French and now he's using it bery well.

Seems Federer is about to go down 2 sets. Would have to be an epic comeback.

??? at the mo? I assume you are saying "at the moment"

You do realize we speak English around here, right?

[TheSpyder]

He had some key chances and failed. If he can come back it's got to be one of the greatest mental combacks cause he's got to be so down right now. Up 4-2 and loses...that's not good and can't think it's ever happended to him before in many, many years.
