WIMBLEDON

Anyone been watching it?

 I have it's the first time i've really gotten into watching tennis it's also the first time since foxtels inception in S.A that i haven't had it so that may have helped.

Anyway tonights mens quater finals i'm looking forward to watching fedderer play and then nadal against the pommy cunt also marat safin

havent been paying a lot of attention to it, but i got to go to wimbledon on saturday. was a pretty long day - up at 5, on the tube at 6, in the line around 630-7, didnt get to the gates til 10 and i dont think we left til after 9... mental! we had general admission tickets and spent most of the day on court two, but ended up getting onto court one and centre court which was cool.

I wanna see a couple of dnb Djs play a game of tennis 

I grew up obsessed with tennis. My folks have a lawn court and most weekends were spent playing tournaments up till the age of 16 so I always watch Wimbledon. When Pat Cash won it all those years ago it was like the greatest thing ever for me.

Easily one of my fave sporting events of the year so I've been watching it every night.

Andy Murray vs Nadal tonight is going to be fucking huge. The poms are desperate for a home grown winner so if Murray gets up England will go absolutely nuts - I would even go as far to say that Murray winning Wimbledon would mean more to the English than winning even the Soccer world cup. Considering they havent had someone hold the trophy up since 1936. Personally I would love to see Safin get up but I doubt he can keep his game (or head) together to go all the way. Could definitely live without seeing Federer win again though. 6 straight Wimbledon wins would be incredible but imo nothing beats watching the reaction of somebody taking out such an event for the first time, especially when they do it against all odds. I'll never forget watching Goran Ivanisavic win in 2001 and just how much it meant to him.

Going to be an awesome night of tennis, thats for sure.

lmao-u must be tennis mad cos thats one of the stupidest things you've said

federer will win.


its like the cunt has a 'passing shot' cheat code or some shit.

yeah that was a great moment in sport.

i LOVE good tennis, it keeps me up well into the night.

I am being 100% deadly serious. Without a shadow of a doubt had Tim Henman actually won Wimbledon the hysteria would have surpassed a World cup win without a shadow of a doubt. That I am certain of. Maybe some of the English residents on the board will talk about the reaction Andy Murray's 4th round win got. Over 10 million people watched the match and they expect the game tonight could set a new TV ratings record.

On top of that he was front page (and more) on every paper in the country. This was just for a 4th round match. Imagine what would happen if he actually made the final and then won it.

arguing with you on the internet is like passing a stone. a lot of pain and that feeling of "Why?"



so I'll just say i strongly disagree

The problem with this argument (even though I'm correct) is we'll never actually know for sure.

Not like the poms are going to win either Wimbledon or the World Cup in our lifetime.

this we can agree on:)

i like tennis.

that is all

and my god i love you new avatar Q

i been watching. there's been a few great matches.

josh, i get what you are saying, but to compare him winning wimbledon to england winning a soccer world cup is a stretch. remember the fallout from beckham getting red carded in the 98 cup? that lasted a few years as well. nothing murray could do would make the british hate him like they did becks then.

The brits get pretty damned excited when they win anything these days, but I'd say the whole country would be rioting in celebration if the poms managed a soccer world cup victory.

 I used to like it. Bores the hell out of me nowadays.

 Federer may as well be a robot, Nadal is not much better.

 Needs more Ivanisavich (sp) like temper eruptions, and a decent Aussie I can barrack for.

 

 

Does anybody apart from Lleyton Hewitt like Lleyton Hewitt?

Bec Cartwright seems partial to a little Lay Lay

That's only because she hasn't met me yet.

lol clearly

Isnt she up the Klacker at the moment

i used to go to tafe with his mate that goes on every tour with him. pretty much doesn't have to pay a cent. only needs to string his rackets and book hotel rooms.

pretty sure he doesn't mind him either. lucky bastard.

Apparently Hewitt is a complete and utter fucktard

Ive had friends that went to school with him, and none of them had anything nice to say about him

i'm not saying this in his defense, but people change after school you know

 

fair enough but i can only go by what ive been told so i dunno from experience

My nana (RIP) lived in the same street as his grandparents for years. Unsurprisingly they thought they sun shone out of his ass... 

Someboy related to one of my friend's ex's was his auntie or something and there must have been some bad blood on that side of the family cos no one could stand him.

It's like anyone though, he's probably a great guy if you're in his good books but to anyone else he's a wanker due to his public persona. Tall poppy syndrome I reckon...

I know he's a wanker from personal experience because this one time I kayaked past his place at West Lakes and threw a bottle at it because he is such a cunt.

yeah he ran over my nana's kitten too, laughed and said "i'm leyton hewitt bitch!"

my housemate likes him i get all kinds of delight from outlining leytons averageness to him

Never understood this term properly.

Here you go: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tall_poppy

It gets rather technical there I always took the saying at face value and imagined it as a field of poppies and the best poppies grow the highest and then they get cut down in favour of the others because they are up there in your face, hogging the sun(spot)light...

Don't get me wrong though people, I think he's a tosser too but you can't deny that there would be people in his life that know him on a personal level and he's probably a great guy to them...

I heard he beats Bec and Mia.

 

On fire today!

Violence against women... Lleyton says "SHUT UP OR I'LL HIT YOU BITCH!"

 i thought it was shut up or ill fist you bec?
