Well, people, some of you are living in the UK so I'm interested whether anyone is interested in tennis...
I'd kill just in order to get a glimpse of the tournament live... I'mtill lacking money, but I hope it'll improve soon so I'll be able to come and see for myself
Any thoughts on this years Wimbledon's champions? I believe that Fedex will dominate again in men's singles, but when it comes to women's singles, i haven't got a clue...
I hope Dinara Safina will win, but let's face - the two Serbians are currently two best players in the world.

To be honest, tennis bores me intensely. i don't mind watchin one or two games, but i eventually just find it repetitive and boring. I do like playing it though. Actually, thats my view on all sports, watching it bores me, but playing it is fine. Except rugby, i hate rugby.
I'm being a miserable git again aren't i? sorry.

hihihi...he's playing good this year, but there are still two croatians hanging in there - čilić and ančić
i hope that one of them will finally make something out of themselves on grand slams - ančić played wimbledon's semifinals just once which is quite odd for a serve and volley player
i just hope that nadal won't win

No preferences me, would love to see a Scot doing well, but ultimately I want Tennis to be the winner.

Hahahaha, that sounded pretty gay.

I've seen it...It was great and I can't believe Rafa won...He is probably the most annoying player in tennis history...The match was a real thriller, it took up most of my Sunday...

Nadal used to annoy me - how many times does he have to bounce the ball on his serve? - but I don't mind him so much now. I kept switching allegiances throughout the match - when Fedex was 2 sets down I wanted him to come back and make a game of it, then when Rafa lost a couple of championship points I thought he'd blown it, so I wanted him to win after that.

Far more exciting than it used to be in the '90s, with Sampras and whoever his opponent was blasting ace after ace after bloody ace... Rolling Eyes
