Wimbledon 2008

[ash]

Anyone watching?

I have tried to catch as much as I can, just saw Djokovic lose to Safin

Federer was been doing well so far

[C225]

Yeah i'm watching the HD picture is excellent.

My predictions for winning are Federer and Sharapova

[ash]

Ivanovic should make semi's atleast hopefully, she was a little bit lucky today

[Pezerinno]

The problem I have with Wimbledon is if I start watching I find it very hard to stop! Thats a good 8 hours or so a day! I think tennis is my favourite sport to watch in a way as I find the matches consistently entertaining. I hope Federer wins it although I have a feeling Nadal might do it this year. Bit of a shock result with Safin today; that should do his confidence the world of good as he was really slipping down the rankings.

On leave at the min and with new Freesat box I'm watching far too much of it. Still it looks great in HD!

Well thats half of my prediction completley wrong

[LFC_SL]

Rooting for Nadal. I am sure Roger is the nicest person in the world but I want Rafa to win. Make inferences people

As for Maria,... nice outfit, but she hasn't been the same player post-injury. I think she needs time out to try and get back to where she was. Can't be easy though with her father in the background

Still in shock over Henin's retirement and the women's is still wide open to me

My East European Posse is dissapearing....Sharapova, Djockovic and Ivanovic.

Only Tipsarevic left...

Not really been following it, but did read an article that said that Sharapovas grunting reached a decibel level louder than a motorcycle (it didnt say what cc...) in a recent match.

Wonder if her partner has to put in earplugs when they're getting 'friendly'..

Going down there on Wednesday, tickets for centre court , mens quarters weather permitting
It's a fantastic place, great atmosphere, if you are a sports fan it's one of those places you just have to visit. Take plenty of wedge though because it is mega expensive, they really like their pound of flesh

So many upsets this year enjoying the safin game on at the moment - both absolutely smacking the ball.

Apparently she only grunts (screams?) when playing a competitive game. I find I can't watch her because of it.

I went on Thursday, centre court was great

I only ever go int he first four days, after that the upper-middle/upper class people can only afford it

[Oddbodd]

Nah, we are upper working class

Yes, but would you kick her out of bed for farting ? I think not.

For some reason I've always been under the impression that in order to get tickets you had to be a member of a tennis club. Do you mind me asking how much the tickets were?
