Would be nice to see someone new win an open for a change, Cmon the Scot. However, on the other hand i do not want to see Roger blubbering again at the presentations.

Nothing lame about watching a Tennis masterclass from the single greatest player ever to grace the court.

Yes the greatest player but always like to see the underdog win. And personally i lost alot of respect towards him when he took away Nadals glory last year.

What's it with the AO and crying?

Federer could win the Grand Slam this year if he continues playing how he is at the moment with Nadal out of form too.

I feel sorry for every British player who comes out and gets the "could be the first British player to win a GS for 150,000 years" routine. Talk about the burden of expectation.

Rog v Tsonga semi I think. Will be a ripper hopefully, then Federer to beat Murray in the final.

LOL not hard to predict R-Fed winning. And the semi wasn't a ripper either, Federer destroyed him.

Also Tsonga to beat Djokovic and Murray to beat Cilic...
 
OK so not a genius. Not dimwitted though.

Man, struggling to follow it aye. Tennis is usually key for me, but with the WC coming up my excitement is limited. A real shame, particularly with Wimbledon around the corner.

Crack up to see Safina gooone so early though.

Would be a real surprise if Nadal didn't win this. Federer is definatly shaky but will get to the Final almost certainly (famous last words?). Anyone see the terrible match refereeing in the Monfils/Fognini match? That was just terrible never seen anything like it except perhaps in that Cricket World Cup final in the West Indies.

First Italian woman to win a grand slam.

Who's going to take the mens title? Nadal? or Soderling?

What are they going to do if they still can't find a winner tomorrow? Someone has to go through to the next round and their opponent in waiting can't sit by idly forever.

Bad light stops play.  Stumps are drawn at 59 -59.  Tomorrow they return for the 3rd days play.

Is Andy Murray still British? Or has he lost and gone back to being Scottish again?

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.
