The Championships, Wimbledon 2009

[volfanbill]

Everyone will be talking about golf's US Open all weekend (including myself), but Wimbledon starts Monday. Seeds were announced either yesterday and today, with Nadal getting the one seed for the men and Safina holding on to the one seed for the women. Nadal may not play though, but I can't imagine he'll miss unless he can't walk. Maria Sharapova managed to sneak into the rankings with her impressive showing at the French after such a long layoff. Who ya picking on both sides? I'm still undecided.

Gotta go with Roger with Rafa out. Not a clue on the women's side, although it wouldn't surprise me at all to see one of the Williams win it.

Seppi giving Blake hell right now.

 

[MphsBlues]

There goes Blake. My racquet bracket looks goofy early. Shoulda known better..

Djoke struggling against Benneteau. 1 set apiece.

American tennis is embarrassing.

Spadea, Querrey and Fish all won in straights. Well, Roitman retired when he was out of it against Fish. Blake should have had a much better showing. I'm not even familiar with Yani, who also lost.

Yea, American Men's tennis is pathetic at this time.

I read somewhere today that the last twenty-two men's grand slams hasn't had a winner from the U.S.A. I'm guessing, but that probably goes back to Roddick in the U.S. Open in 2003.

 

[MphsBlues]

Roddick wins in 4.

Murray's serve is huge. Kendrick doing a respectable job hanging with him.

Down goes Maria in three sets

i love DirecTV.

except when 5 of the 6 channels have men's matches.

Gisela Dulko is pretty hot, btw. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

 

[volfanbill]

She's not Ana or Maria though

Does Mardy Fish even stand a chance against Djok?

anything can happen against Djoke. He might as well be an American as inconsistent as he is.

 

[MphsBlues]

Jo-Willie went down in 4 sets to Karlovic. I hope they show that one on the replays on tc tonight. I can imagine there was some very good tennis that match.

 

[MphsBlues]

Fed gonna meet Soderling in the next round. Should be a good match.

If it's a good match, Federer will have played like crud.

I just saw that. Good for her.

 

[volfanbill]

HUGE win, not just for Oudin, but for the US as well. Biggest win for the US in some time by someone not named Williams. I'd have to look, but at least the past 5 years.

Oudin's run is over, but good story here...

At last, the tourney is on NBC on a weekday... meaning I can finally watch..
