This tournament has lost its appeal to me. It has become boring and the rallies have killed the intrigue.

I know I say it every major, but slowing the surfaces and weighting the balls has just made tennis boring.

People loved to see big serves fantastic volleys and Wimbledon was guaranteed that. Now it is ground strokes and lets play positional tennis.

Agree. The only reason Nadal sniffed a chance there.

What Borg did was amazing given the true contrast back then.

Oh by the way, Giorgi is kinda nice to watch play tennis.

So does Isner get rolled by Baghdatis tomorrow?

I so want Isner to do something, but I know he will piss me off once he goes into his droopy dog routine. I swear he does it every flippin match he plays in. It is almost like he does not even care if he tries.

Fed looks terrible. Won't be surprised to see him get bounced before the round of 16.

I saw where Querry won 12-10 in 5th today.

Isner only tries when he is serving, at least act like you want to return a serve. Is that too much to ask?

Isner is worse than Kevin Curren and that is saying something. At least KC could play doubles and could volley.

Isner is a one trick pony and needs to go away.

Fed just needs to retire

He really didn't look at that great in the Wimbledon warm-up in Germany. His movement is definitely hampered. Would be surprised if he makes it to the semi-final matchup with Djoker.

Yeah, I'd be surprised if he makes it that far.

Stop ignoring what Djoke, Ferrer, Nadal, and Murray are using.

Tennis is the cycling(Tour de france) late 90's drug cheats. Joker couldn't last 5 sets then all of the sudden he is able to endure better than anybody easily. Really?


Was just talking about this. I guess the hot new thing is getting these careers to last forever. So these tournaments are the same year to year. I would hate to be a young player trying to break into the ranks these days.

He did win. He's probably pacing himself. He knows what he has left. At least nerves aren't a factor.
