Wimbledon Preview

[Murat B.]

My boy Marsel Ilhan managed to qualify . He played great tennis 3-4 years back, made it to the 2nd round of a bunch of slams and then fell of the map. Good to see him pick it up.

I'm going to have that song on my mind all day now. Fortunately it's a great song.

Here we go, the draw is this morning! It won't really tell us much about Rafa, because they could pull S. Laurel and O. Hardy for the first two rounds and they'd have a chance. The names "Rosil" and "Darcis" meant little to me before he played them, other than being small stepping stones on his way to week 2. Now, every player is a potential threat, and a hero, and pain in the wotsits for me...

There is a bright side for Rafa.....on the two occasions when Rafa won Wimbledon he was seeded number 2.....

Ah, now that's the kinda morale boost I need right now! :clap :smooch

 

[the AntiPusher]

Rafa and Fed are in the bottom half of the draw if I am listening to the Wimbledon radio correctly. Darn it

 

[Kieran]

Rafa could face Rosil in round 2 :clap :clap

Would love to see it...

EDIT: then if Rafa is still in business, he might face Doctor Evil himself, in the third round! :laydownlaughing

 

[the AntiPusher]

Rafa could face Rosil in round 2 :clap :clap

Would love to see it...

Me too

Front was that you pull the coins out of the bag at the drawing? You stuck all the big hitters to fare against the King of Clay aka the Dirt Devil..

Front's Revenge:lolz:

I can see some very legitimate toilet breaks being taken regularly during Rafa's stay at Wimbo!

In paper, Nadal's has the toughest quarter out of the Big Four. However, after losing back to back Wimbledon matches, I don't really think Nadal has any easy opponents here at Wimbledon.

 

[Kieran]

Well, one thing is for sure, he's gonna have to serve great for starters, whatever else he's doing...

Very happy to see them in Wimbly

 

[Kieran]

I don't like the fact that Stan had a fever, though. That can be too debilitating just before a big tourney and it may lead to other things, if he's not fully fit. He'll need to build himself up and hydrate substantially for the tournament...
