Surprised there was no thread yet, just watched Nadal's defeat to Rosol who was absolutely awesome, I'm not a huge follower of tennis but love Wimbledon, this now has to give Murray a huge chance of making the final at least?
Maria for me all day long in the ladies! |

yeah I nearly started one earlier but never got round to it, imo this is probably Murray's best chance to win Wimbledon now, he's got a pretty clear path to the semi's atleast (im not saying all the guys he plays are easy but Murray should beat them in 4 sets at worst), I think Tsonga is in Murray's half and that is going to be a tough match but he should get thru it, then its just a matter of beating Djokovic or Federer which I think with a little bit of look he could do!
I think a shout out to the brits that made round 2 is in order, James Ward espc really gutted for him he didn't beat fish today 
GL to Heather Watson too

It's great chance for Murray, he should at least make the final, but he'll probably f**k it up in an earlier round now the chance is there. Tomorrows opponent is no pushover, I believe it's 3-3 between them.
Hope he makes it though.

| Remember that time when it was a great chance for Murray and he lost the semi to Roddick? He doesn't like great chances. |

Got them on my first attempt, (via a subscription to 'serve & volley' magazine, the LTA's own mag) then nothing for the next six years. I got the old No.1 court, it was quite an enjoyable day out, and the magazine had it's own special tent where you could also book lunch, which made things better.

No, but we used to go down after work and get the cheap evening tickets - they're good value (used to be a tenner)... you still get to see some big names on the main courts

A friend of mine asked a few years ago, if we weren't going to apply, if we would so it increased his chances of getting a ticket. One of the guys got Men's Final tickets...
What would you do ?! |

About 20 break points missed, not good enough, Murray.
Good old Health & Safety, tried their best to spoil things.
