Wimbledon Day 10

First topic message reminder :

Now it's really business time.

The matches have been previewed a done the order of play is out. Federer will be relieved to be on Centre and hoping for rain and a covered court. Murray too, as both stand to benefit if they win and their opponents have to play Thursday. I have no idea what the forecast is though.

Fed is serving.

by Seifer Almasy Wed 4 Jul - 13:10

What a farce. Close the F roof if it is v likely to rain!

by bogbrush Wed 4 Jul - 13:11

That really looks like Federer serving. Lol

by Jahu Wed 4 Jul - 13:11

Its a setup to close the roof later so Fed can get a break for the back pain.

He is winning. Cool

Can't beat a love service game.

by Jahu Wed 4 Jul - 13:12

Who's the asian lady always sitting in Feds box?

by Guest Wed 4 Jul - 13:15

Djokovic serves out a hold in his opening match against Mayer.

by Seifer Almasy Wed 4 Jul - 13:20

Youzhny looking poor as expected against fed. Fed looking reasonable!

by Seifer Almasy Wed 4 Jul - 13:23

Federer breaks first game. You can all come out of hiding now...

by Jahu Wed 4 Jul - 13:23

Youzhni looks like the son of the russian commander in Rambo 3

How odd? How can a player look reasonable against an opponent looking poor?

by Josiah Maiestas Wed 4 Jul - 13:23

took 5 break points but he broke him.

federers returning has improved loads..

by Jahu Wed 4 Jul - 13:25

Djoko broken 3:4. Go Mayer

Yes, it is called looking at the serve, movement , forehands and returns. I thought you knew that? Federer is looking good.

To loosen up the back?

Fed chose ends, I heard - Youzhny then chose to receive.

by CaledonianCraig Wed 4 Jul - 13:29

Well Federer looking workmanlike but far too hard to judge him as anything other than that considering how poor Youzny has looked.

by Seifer Almasy Wed 4 Jul - 13:29

Mayer surrenders his break very easily.

by Seifer Almasy Wed 4 Jul - 13:31

Fed's back.

by CaledonianCraig Wed 4 Jul - 13:32

Think I have seen enough to suggest that my prediction for an easy win for Federer today will be spot on. Youzny seems too slow around the court to trouble Roger.

by Jahu Wed 4 Jul - 13:33

Bar injury, Fed will wrap this in quick 3.

Its raining quite hard now.

by Guest Wed 4 Jul - 13:34

LK just had a sneaky bet with a colleague. Fingers Crossed

I won't disclose details as it might jinx. I have a £10 punt on odds of 12-1 at the start of the tournament before the draw was made Very Happy

by Seifer Almasy Wed 4 Jul - 13:35

CLOSE THE ROOF.

by **JuliusHMarx** Wed 4 Jul - 13:36

Mayer has a DHBH slice - unusual.

by reckoner Wed 4 Jul - 13:37

Very sunny in SW1, perhaps it'll blow over?

by Jahu Wed 4 Jul - 13:37

David Mercer knows everyone by the name in VIP boxes and their birthdays too. Top man.

by reckoner Wed 4 Jul - 13:38

Have they ever reopened the roof after closing it on CC?

by Seifer Almasy Wed 4 Jul - 13:39

The CC roof has been open from the start despite knowing it was gonna do this.

by Guest Wed 4 Jul - 13:41

Play suspended on C1.

socal will go monkey

sheet!

Yeah, frustrating, isn't it.

Hope this wasn't in response to my question which was more of a trivial pursuit query.

by Jahu Wed 4 Jul - 13:45

Cover going off. No roof in place

by Jahu Wed 4 Jul - 13:46

Sun is out. Looking brightly summery.

No it is frustration at the organisers, they are so blinded by traditionalism that they arent thinking clearly. Rain is not their fault. Yes play outdoors but not when it is just gonna rain all day and turn into a farce!

by reckoner Wed 4 Jul - 13:48

But what would Wimbledon be without rain delays? It's tradition!

by Guest Wed 4 Jul - 13:50

Can't wait for the US swing. People on here will be going into cardiac arrest. They don't have roofs there!

by Seifer Almasy Wed 4 Jul - 13:53

I hope it keeps raining and stopping. Let's make it a complete farce.

by Jahu Wed 4 Jul - 13:56

Fed gives us the point of the week.

by Seifer Almasy Wed 4 Jul - 13:56

Excellent start for Fed.

by Guest Wed 4 Jul - 13:59

Mayer sniffing another break on the Djokovic serve.

by Seifer Almasy Wed 4 Jul - 13:59

Did anyone take me up on my offer of making money from putting money on Youz at 5-1?

by Guest Wed 4 Jul - 14:02

Mayer with one BP left....

by Seifer Almasy Wed 4 Jul - 14:02

Is mayer trying to give Djok the set or what?

pathetic.

by Guest Wed 4 Jul - 14:04

Youzhny is superseding Troicki's level!

Oh stop crying. Federer is playing brilliantly.

by reckoner Wed 4 Jul - 14:04

I want to see more of this "workmanlike" play from Fed! Very Happy

Tell yourself that fanboy.

Oh and crying?

Put the roof on Cry

by Seifer Almasy Wed 4 Jul - 14:06

Fanboys don't put other players as favourites for tournaments or give players their due. You are the fanboy. Time for foe. Wink

heh another.

Keep whinging that Fed is proving me right and you wrong. Also having rain delays affects both players, you idiot.

Except he didn't. Mayer threw 3 break points away (1 of which was a clear winner situation). Different situation and you know it.
