Originally posted by Chunk View PostI've got tickets for week two on Court One so i'm not sure what matches i'll get to see. Week two, most big matches are on Centre Court.
Centre Court has got a new roof. All the other big courts haven't.

Originally posted by The Monk View PostI really think there is only 2 men who can win the mens this year, God AKA Murray and Fed. Roddick, Del Potro and Karlovic will all be dangerous.
As usual i'll be supporting Murray. He has got quite a nasty draw this year with Kendrick in the 1st round, who is a useful grass court player, and then Gulbis, who has a big serve in the 2nd. I just think its set up for Andy with the whole Fred Perry 100 birthday, if he was still alive obviously. We'll just have to wait and see though.
On the womens side, I got a sneaky feeling Serena is going to be in a destructive mood and clinch another title.
Can't wait...the next two weeks i'll be glued to my tv; gotta love how BBC has almost every match live on interactive.

Originally posted by Oasis_Lad View PostSadly, this sort of thing is as prominent up here as it appears down there. A lot of Scots still think it's 1342 and get some sort of nationalistic pride if an Englishman loses, even though, they, as a Scot had nothing to do with it.Last edited by The Monk; 06-21-2009, 08:01 PM.

Originally posted by IncuFan View PostNice call for a darkhorse in Karlovic. He has a big serve if im not mistaken, which usually plays well on the grass courts. ESPN is doing our coverage here in the States so Im hoping it's good. I was kind of dissapointed in their French Open coverage, hopefully they better for Wimbledon.
The BBC goes nuts when Wimbledon is on. TV, radio and internet...it is basically all dedicated to tennis with live tennis all day and then highlights at night. Considering the BBC is the main tv channel over here its amazing
