general thoughts on the tennis, what you hate about it, what you like, who will win, surprising first rounds outs any general discussion... .
personally i fail to understand why the players need the crowd to be silent it just annoys me so very much. i understand roaring crowd would be annoying but the slightest noise and they ask them to leave or dont play the ball

Good thread.

Especially as they grunt so loud...
My predictions:
My brain says Nadal, but I really want Federer to win.
-
Really surprised that Hantuchova was eliminated earlier this afternoon. Pity, she's gorgeous :P
Federer for mens, Hewitt as the roughie.
Wozniacki for womens, Stosur/Ivanovic as the roughie
(I can't tip tennis at all, bet against those people winning)
-
Hewitt's a good roughie as long as he gets through tonight.
The grunting is so bloody annoying...
Mens: Federer
Womens: Ivanovic Stosur
-
Well that's 2/5 I tipped who are out in the first round lol

omg.. Venus is the worst.
The FedExpress had a close call.. LOL at Tomic V Rafaaaaar. I'd be suprised if Tomic can take a set off Nadal.

That would be a miracle.
-
Tomic vs Nadal is gonna be one-sided epic let-down.
-
I've taken worse bets but I agree, Nadal will probably win comfortably. Don't think it'll be all that one sided though
-
Tomic is the only Aussie left right? (I'm a tennis noob)
Wish him well against Nadal!

You are correct since Molik and Stosur are now gone.
He seems to have him running around a bit but the experience he is getting now should help for the future.

Murray's expected opponents are dropping like flies!
He was expected to face Robin, Rafa and Roger. Even more pressure on him now, he'll be lambasted in the British press as an epic choker if he doesn't win.

I dislike murray I don't no why I just dont like him:) I hope the joker goes on to win thenfinal now :) played brilliantly against fed hope he can take out the crown

Same here, not much of a fan of Murray... But I do like Djokovic :)
Li Na for womens.
-
I'm a fan of neither men :(
But Li Na for women though!
-
Li Na to become the first person in history to win a Grand Slam and complete a degree in medicine, law, commerce and engineering before she dies?
In all seriousness, Marin Cilic completed a degree in laws whilst training for tennis, believe me, those aren't easy to attain in Europe.
-
Wait wut!!?! Has she actualy got degrees in those fields?
-
Nah lulz, she dropped out of uni and chose tennis.
-
Well, the tennis pathway is definitely paying off ;)

yeah, many people, even in Britain, don't like his snarling and growling and project him as arrogant. I think he's a good guy though, he's modest and good-humoured in interviews, at least. And it's good to see a top British player from a working-class background; for a long time tennis culture over here has been insufferably bourgeois.
-
I reckon Murray has a bit of a foul mouth... Bad luck Li Na.
Go Djokovic!!
-
all this talk of the torch being passed is a bit stupid, rafa is bloody 24 and fed isnt much older and had a bad day and got beaten by the no3 seed playing his best tennis thoughts?

Totally agree.
I still think Fed vs Nadal for the next couple of years, at least
-
Yeeeah Djokovic :) And i agree that it's still a battle between Federer and Nadal.
-
Murray light years away :( Well, a fair way behind the top 3 anyway
