Anyone interested in predicting the final ?
After watching an intense match last night with the scotsman I am not sure he will last the pace, although I wish him luck. My money is on federer and have not decided who else yet.

I hate the geezer Ter when England got knocked out euro by portugal the other year he came on the tv wearing a portugal shirt to rub it in that he was a jock.

I think Federer will claim the mens title.A shame Nadal cannot defend it.
For the women,most of the interest has gone now Sharapova and Ivanovic have been knocked out.
I certainly hope Dementiava wins it now but fear its going to be one of the Williams sisters again.

I fancy Senila Dementiava to go all the way. If she can find the court! 8-[

Yeah! Would like to see some more of Dementieva since Sharapova and Ivanovic went down but looks like she will have to beat out each of the Williams girls to win the title.

On the Men's side, looks likely that Federer will meet Djokovic in a very good semi-final matchup although I'm not positive about the matchings. Nadal has been missed.

Is it just me or does her name resemble like senile dementia ? or have I forgotten something ?

by **Irish Alan** » July 1, 2009, 7:45 pm

Well spotted Ter. Her name is Elena but I called her Senila, indeed senile dementia. That is why I ended with if she can find the court! :-"

Bit slow today IA on the Zirtek. #-o

She should have a curry every week...that will sort her surname out...

by **Zidane** » July 3, 2009, 10:42 am

Well,shes out now losing in the final set 8-6 to Serena Williams.....she had a match point as well #-o

Serena will meet her sister Venus in the final for the fourth time at Wimbledon.Those two seem to have been around for ages.Its like the bad old days of Martina Navratilova all over again !
A shame that Sharapova (through injury),Ivanovic and Dementieva have not managed to take the top spots off the Williams sisters yet.

I used to feel the same about Andy Murray too but he has grown up a bit since the Portugal shirt thing.And I`m Scottish.He is a Hibs supporter and used to make anti-Hearts F.C.(I`m a Hearts fan) comments to the media et etc.He realised through maturity its not the way forward.Forgive and forget ,I consider him to be British and so does he now .Why not rally(pun intended) round him and give him all the support he deserves.I`m proud to be British and Scottish equally.When it comes to National team or European club football I ALWAYS want every British team to win.If they are competing against each other I go for the underdog.Unless of course they are playing against us "Jocks". :guiness:

C`MON ANDY

by **polehawk** » July 4, 2009, 8:11 pm

Halfway right. It was Andy Roddick yesterday so it will be A-Rod vs Federer in the Final. GO ANDY!

Williams sisters getting ready to play in their final in a few minutes. Prediction? Seerena this time because Venus won last year. Seem to lose a bit of the competitive fire when they go against each other.

by **pompui** » July 5, 2009, 5:43 pm

Am also supporting Andy for the game today,as long as his first serve percentage is above 75% ,then he can win the sets on tiebreaks.
Have the Pimms ready,but no strawberries #-o

Good to see some of the local high flying talent coming through and landing a Wimbledon crown - from the Bangkok Post:

Noppawan wins Wimbledon crown
By: BangkokPost.com
Published: 4/07/2009 at 10:07 PM London

18-year-old Noppawan "Nok" Lertcheewakarn won the girls' singles championship at Wimbledon, the first Thai ever to take a title at the fabled championship.

Nok defeated Kristina Mladenovic, giving away the first set to the French girl 3-6, and then easily winning the next two games 6-3, 6-1 for her first win on the Grand Slam circuit.

In the final game, Noppawan broke Mladenovic's serve three times in a row, and the French girl could not win a point until 4-1. Nok seemed to tire a bit at the end, and faltered briefly, but put Mladenovic away and broke into a huge winner's Thai smile amidst heavy applause from the sellout crowd.

This is Noppawan's final year as a "girl" tennis player, and it was her last chance to take a Wimbledon title at that age level. Next year, she must step up to the main show.

Last year was a heart-breaker for the Thai girl, when she lost in the final to Britain's Laura Robson. She got her revenge last Friday, however, beating Robson in the semi-final.

Noppawan is clearly the brightest star in the Thai tennis world, particularly since Tamarine Tanasugarn is reaching the end of her brilliant career - but without a major title.
