Anyone watching the Tennis?

NOOOOOOOOOOO

teehee! me!
now that we finally got some decent players, we finally get some matches on the tele!

(before clijsters and henin, we didn't even saw many davis-cup games!, from time to time (ones every half year) a game orso)

boooring

I'd like to . But I'm too busy.
I prefer to watch tournaments like Flushing Meadows or Paris-Bercy.

shorter ones, you mean?

i like hearing the women grunt. sexy sexy

yes! go henman! go henman!

Oh Anna, where are you? I can fix that back!!

aggassis is out...ehhe

What do you mean ?

that flushing meadows etc. isn't that big (they're not grand slams)

Am watching TigerTim now. Why do they call him Tiger Tim? I mean he isn't even stripey and he doesn't roar.

Flushing is, isn't it ?
No, what is important to me is the surface (dunno if it is the good word in English): hard-packed,...

you like gravel?

YES! He's through!!

But why Tiger?

nope, Flushing M. and Bercy'surface are in (I don't know exactly) cement (or kinda). It's a blue surface...I'll check

hardcourt?

Yes, maybe...

Because...

...he likes Frosties. They're great, apparently.

He made a meal of that match at times though eh?

Easier than I thought for Henman today...

I cant seem to catch it on tv!!!
I like that brown ground,whats it called in english?

Clay?

yeh thats it. I'm so stupid!
I like Guga!! Love Guga! And that spanish player, Ferrero I think. The blond kid.Their cool.There is also this big guy that they call Bear! Is huge!

teehee! the top-4 on the WTA list are in the semi-finals

There are only 4 grand slam tournaments: US Open, French Open (at Roland Garros), Wimbledon and the Australian Open.

Unfortunately, without telly at work, I have to suffice with watching the scores live on the BBC website, it's quite riveting! I did, however, go to the All England Club last Tuesday. I saw Alicia Molick beat some Russian girl, a French guy beat an Italian-American guy, Robin Soderling beat Verkerk (who was seeded, but injured), the end of the Henin match on the screen on the hill and Sebastian Grosjean (I think) playing Thomas Enqvist. Twas a very long day and I got a tad red!

Neat! I have always wanted to go to Wimbledon. My brother normally goes each year but couldn't this time. He said it was amazing to see Roddick play; he doesn't know how he was ever beaten, based on what he saw.

I find Roddick a tad boring. Plus he has weird serve, kind of sticks his bum out!

What a cad!

He does seem to have this habit of either thrashing his opponent or totally losing it, though. A man like Rusedski WOULD have had a chance of stoppijng him but... well... y'know...

That was actually very funny; I have NEVER seen language like that on the BBC in mid-afternoon before and McEnroe's commentary was to die for!

And he'll begin playing our Tim Henman in just a few minutes (hopefully)!

Which is why they are discussing the tennis on Andrew McNeil's 'The Daily Politics' programme... weird!

What is your call for that match, Darla?

Five sets. Henman might lose.

If Henman wins do you think he'll make the final?

Playing Philpoussis? Unlikely.

Actually, I think he would rather play Philopoussis than Agassi... I dunno...

Well, THAT didn't start very well... luckily the English weather God has sent rain to give Henman a break...

First set of Henman match: Bugger.

Oh dear, such a shame. An amazing comeback from 5-1 down, after the break for rain, only to lose the first set in a tie-break 8-10.

Four bloody set points... gahhhhh...

YAY!!!!!! Second set Henman!

Well it's bloody raining again.

Anyway he's got a very good chance of winning this.

can anyone update me about the belgian girls in the semi-finals?
are they playing or not? cause with all the rain, haven't seen anything of that!
