Re: Wimbledon 2009

Very risky shot around the post which may cost you a point if the opponent expects it coming. But again unpredictable stuff comes out of FEDEX in unusual situation. Great effort on his part has been rewarded this time. I guess we are gonna see lot more stuff coming in this tournament.

Re: Wimbledon 2009

S.Wawrinka vs A.Murray match. Swiss took the first opening set but Andy made terrific comback in the second set and he broke Wawrinka's service game as we speak. More comments to arrive soon...

BTW: Are adrenaline levels rising amongst the English living in Switzerland

We're behind Wawrinka, but it doesn't look too promising

Re: Wimbledon 2009

Stan is not doing too bad ... as I write he has held three services in the fourth set. From the BBC:
Quote:
He had looked tired a couple of games ago, but he looked full of beans in that game.
Go, Stan!!!!

Re: Wimbledon 2009

wouldn't be so sure jacek...... Ferrera one time great player, older un seeded, Murray has a chance, but if not this wimbledon, I do think Murray will go all the way at some point - he has the skill, and at number 3 in the world he can't be knocked
