Injury forces Gasquet out of Queen's

http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news-sport/injury-forces-gasquet-out-of-queens-20100610-y0oe.html

poor Richard... his return was in the right track... and now Wimbledon is on the line. I hope he can recover and make a 4th round or QF in London.

 

[lechepicha]

Damn! Andy Roddick just got beat by Dudi Sela...

Wimbledon does not look good for Andy this year... not good at all.

The good news for the USA people: Sam Querrey went trough and now he's in the QFs

What's the difference between British and English? :dunno:

Britain is made up of Scotland, England and Wales. All English are Brits where as not all Brits are English.

 

[lechepicha]

Britain is made up of Scotland, England and Wales.

and Northern Ireland

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom#Geography

:wave:


And the top british players right now are:
1. Andy Murray (4)
2. Alex Bogdanovic (166)
3. Jamie Baker (254)
4. Daniel Evans (337)
5. James Ward (344)

call me crazy, but for a "country" like the UK, that his 2nd best player it's the no. 166 in the world, it's pretty embarrasing...

and Northern Ireland

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom#Geography

:wave:

No, Northern Ireland is a part of the United Kingdom. Britain as Jumbo Jim points out is only made up of the states situated on the one land mass: England, Scotland and Wales.

actually, "Great Britain" is the island itself. here
and the "United Kingdom" is the political association of the countries. here

either way, i stand in the statement of the british tennis players sucks right now...

 

[lechepicha]

Roger just defeat Alejandro Falla 6-1, 6-2

he looks too strong for Phillip Kohlscheriber in the QFs tomorrow... but of course, the german is no dummy and Roger shouldn't be too confident.

 

[r_s90]

fed may be looking good against the lower ranked players, but on current form, i just don't think he has what it takes to win wimbledon. Pains me to say it, but i reckon it will be Nadal winning it.
who knows though? wimbledon is Fed's stomping ground

 

[LezFemmez]

Ha ha ha, after he finished off that Columbian fella Roger played a few points with the guy from the German TV station "sport1", that was actually quite funny. Good guy that Roger...:glugglug:

Is this not what I said?

No matter.

exactly. :thefinger

that's why (and not because his current form) i think he does have a chance to win it.

Nadal is struggling against Denis Istomin right now... tie-break 1st set...

 

[lechepicha]

Marin Cilic just lose against Llodra...

what a slump!!! he looked in the beginning of the year like the next best thing... now he looks like another promise that fools us all...

Davydenko also fell against Benjamin Becker...

and i thought he was coming back strong...

 

[lechepicha]

Nadal is struggling against Denis Istomin right now... tie-break 1st set...

won that 1st set... but lose the 2nd!

wow! Dennis is serving amazingly!... and like Rafa said after his victory over Marcos Daniel: "I was lucky he's not a big server"

interesting match... the third set looks nice.

if y'all wanna watch it, go to www.fromsport.com :thefinger

Nadal advances; Djokovic, Roddick lose in London

http://www.fox8live.com/sports/tenn...ck-lose-in-London/PCXNZHlCa0q_Ng25WP-xQA.cspx

wimbledon doesn't look too bright for Nole... i don't think he's going to reach his 1st grand slam final since Australia 2008. A QF at most.
