nadal to final looks like free money @ 1.72 with federer and djokovic in the other half

cavaday looks very long @ 16.5 to beat venus. she had 2 match points vs hingis last year when she was only 18, stronger this year, unlikely to win but a great price if you fancy a longshot

thhhhhhhhaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnkkkkkkkssssssss

Andy Murray is obv going to win!

....all of his games until he meets gasquet in the 3rd round

I like Wimbledon, and the early stages of the Majors in general.

Couple of multiples for me

1   Baghdatis v Darcis (Backing  Marcos Baghdatis @ 1.23)
2   Dancevic v Nalbandian (Backing  David Nalbandian @ 1.15)
3   Berdych v Korolev (Backing  Tomas Berdych @ 1.15)
4   Santoro v A Murray (Backing  Andy Murray @ 1.11)
5   Hewitt v Haase (Backing  Lleyton Hewitt @ 1.14)

and

1   Almagro v Granollers (Backing  Nicolas Almagro @ 1.39)
2   Gasquet v Fish (Backing  Richard Gasquet @ 1.43)
3   Canas v Haas (Backing  Tommy Haas @ 1.63)
4   Dancevic v Nalbandian (Backing  David Nalbandian @ 1.15)

Neither pay great, but all money is good money.

Santoro is no mug..

Very true, I always enjoy watching him play and Andy himself claims he is one of his favourite players.

gatso, can we change the thread title to Wimbledon please? It's tilting me as it is.

Murray will probably go a set down, then fall over in the next set and retire due to a broken fingernail.

no, tilt is comedy

am i the only person who thinks murray will never win it

PMSL, so true.

Murray probs go a set down then win 3-1 imo.

Murray 3-0

haha. QFMFT.

Id love to see Murray do well but hes an injury prone poof.

Ive had £100 Each Way on Nadal @5/1. Now hes like 2/1. I couldve got 8/1  tho before the final of the French when i began to fancy him for this.

1time plz.

Hewitt to beat Haase in the first round is the definition of free money.

I will have a srs look at round 1 matches with decentish prices 2moro morning and post them up.

I fkin love tennis (esp Wimbledon).

QFT.

Looks like Hewitt is going to win - he's a break up in the 5th.

If you were buying money here you would be a tad nervous!

Nalbandian beaten in straight sets!

marvelous

Ivanovich FTW

(http://superspacestation.info/images/stories/531751499_ba6ff9bc9a_o.jpg)

These truly are great days for women's tennis. Sharapova and Ivanovic are top of the rankings in every sense. Daniela Hantuchova has stopped being mental and started eating again. Even Elena Dementieva has glammed herself up.

Kate off LOST?!?!?!

was bigger then 40 this morning. now available to trade at 9.2

Our very own English rose!!

Please please Murray lose....oh well in the next round....

Wd Murray.

Gogogogogogogogogogo.

Pfft yor going down haggis....

Is that on his win, or on the bird he's managed to pull?

Teh Latter

comments are useless without pics

Looks a bit posh.  Maybe Tighty knows her?

(http://d.yimg.com/eur.yimg.com/ng/sp/empics/4767655)

Had her, disappointing. Zara Phillips ftw instead.

same taste in women as tikay. not sure what that says tbh

[  ] That picture does her justice on tonights showing.

i find the Derick McGovern know his tennis and his tip are very good


http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/columnists/result/

Yeah, not much I could see with a cursory search.   I'm sure Andy has some better pics.

Why, helllllllo.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/7470890.stm

*runs down to SW19 with the finest bunch of flowers the petrol station has*

she's a lucky girl.

Djokovic on the ropes!

True and Safin is pretty tez on grass aswell

Ivanovic not looking too good either

Just woke up and hes 2 sets down....ooooooooops

and a break!!!!

I have never seen him play this bad

Nick them from Chili.

Kin marvellous, Not only has Bandy ruined my monies this week, but now Djokovic is determined to lose me more money. 

ffs, I've had three bets on the tennis this week and massive fave's have cost me :(

GL with Ivanovic Andrew, she's a lucky girl :)

It wasn't my fault... ;ashamed;

If she loses this she'll need consoling. I'll show her a good time (take her to Nandos and then a couple of pints at the Whistle and Flute).

Cheeky 10er on Djokovic at 8 on BF.

now 15 - should have just burnt my 10er, more fun!

Djokovic gone - good news for Federer imo.

Last point summed it up

gogogogogogo Murray!

i'm still undecided who pisses me off more, murray or Khan! both jarr my head!!

u know nothing, Murray owns!!!

Jamie Murray - Good lad
Andy Murray - Prat

sigh, mates with them are you?

Not with Andy. He's a prat.

Maria has gone. :(

could not make out why they made her jolly for this event anyway

Did you lay her ?  ::)

teenage lads will be crying their eyes out ... thats this weekends nocturnal activities cancelled for millions :(

internet ftw

Why?  Ana is still in.

;kev;

I think there is value on Bolelli to beat Hewit today....????

A much improved player

worth a small wager

Think Ancic would be the best value at evens today

I actually agree that he is a bit of value. Hewitt nursing an injury I think.

The tennis "expert" on my blog seems to think Ferrer is a good thing today but not sure I agree.

Done a 4 fold on Betfair. Pays around 11/4.

Friday and Saturday Janko Tipsarevic, Lleyton Hewitt, Stanislas Wawrinka, Marcos Baghdatis

I'm going for Bolelli in 5 sets here. Dunno why.

You like throwing money away lol?

:'(

 :'(

It means she does have time on her hands to come up to DTD with me this weekend though.

Quick, get the flowers and the Golden Retriever.

1time please Tipsaaaaaaaarevic

LOL fourtimerpaying11/4aments

lol, why? winners a winner, ive had acca's pay less

The case for the prosecution rests, your honour.

sort of walked into that ::)

It's all about how you assess value, if you had a free $10 bet would you prefer to have it on Andorra to bt France in a euro qualifier at 33/1 or an outsider in a 22 runner handicap at the same price?

Have it on a NR FTW

'tis of course the right(old skool lateral thinking) answer ;tightend;

Yeah, but they're both singles.

With a four timer, you have to be sure all four bets are of equal value. The likelihood is they're not - one will be better than the others. In which case, lump on the value bet as a single.

what do you mean by value? the one most likely to win? what if thats the 1/3 chance? you have to take into consideration that because theyre not all of equall value they will not be of equall price

I sort of understand where you're coming from with your post but it's also got me lol'ing, bankroll is a big factor in assessing value for some as people are constrained by their wallets and the acca compensates for lack of stake money, also how discerning is the average punter that they can acurrately quantify how strongly they fancy 4 indinidual bets?

Value = bet where the difference of the probability equitable to the price offered compared to the probabilty of victory you ascribe to the competitor is greatest.

Also, average punter = mug.

11/4 is value for those 4 players all to win.

lol, so every bet you have has is because the price is bigger than you think it should be? do you really work out what price you think something should be yourself before baccking it?(if you work as an odds compiller dont answer), have you never looked at a horse in the morning and thought this will absoloutly guide home, its 11/8 seems a bit skinny for the conditions but i really fancy it, you fire up your computer and best price 5/4, you're not gonna be on?

sigh!, after 5 posts this is what i meant to say

Er, yeah, that's what I do (or did when I bet on things, before poker).

You price up a market then compare the odds and look for the ricks.

thats a different level of punting from me then, the best i hope for is when i'm at my most perspicacious i will lose less!

ffs im gona feel like even more of a dickhead when Tipsarevic loses tomorrow now.

gogogogo Andy Murray!!!

sigh, i'll wait to gloat when he goes out in the quarter's rather calling for him to get turned over here

lol, gloat about what? not winning wimbledon?

nope, about still being an overhyped underachiever thats gonna get pwned at or before the quarter's of this tourney!

overhyped?

The over hype is because of the media, you can't give him stick for that.

How do you define underachiever? Who sets the standards he is supposedly supposed to hit? True he hasn't done anything remarkable as yet but i still believe he has greatness in him.

Plus the hype hasn't been massive. Very little - I think everyone realises that it's still a few years before Murray can seriously challenge the better players consistently.

He wins, scoop for you!

Ive been lead to believe by eminent tennis observers that his game is comprable to that of nadal's, look at their comparative success and what nadal had done at 18, murray 21 now and by his own admission is still maturing etc.............seems like his bottle goes to me, too many excuses, he chokes in the big situations for me, and as a personality i find him exasperatingly dull and irritating.

How can you say he's dull? Compared with most of the tennis players you can't say he's dull. Irritating - well that's down to personal opinion but i love the passion he shows when he's playing the game.

At the moment his game isn't comparable to Nadal's but in the future i feel it will be. It's the fault of the media that put all this expectation on him and think he should be winning grand slams already. Nadal was a sensation at 18, most players take a lot longer to achieve what Nadal has. If we had more than one tennis player inside the top 20, even the top 50, there wouldn;t be nearly so much pressure and expectation on him.

Comparisons with Nadal are ridic.

As we speak he has just thrown away the second set against Haas. One set all. 6-4 6-7.

My acca won :). Shib the £441.

All 4 players won 3-0 tho, shouldve done an acca on that, wouldve paid loads.

as a person he's dull, his game IMO is still as unrefined as it was 2-3 years ago, raw talent is there but somethings lacking, as for nedal beeing a sensation at 18, seems to be pretty much the age for players to come to maturity at this level now.

lol, truest thing you've said so far, one's world class and ones shit.

He's struggling a bit now, looks tired I think.

you are getting worse, he's number 12 in the world! hardly shit!

seriously this is what i'm talking about, it's always something with him, injury, conditioning, temperament, age, when does it end?

That was an epic duece sesh. Come on andy son.

bolt is a tennis n00b

wtf does that mean?

not sure, something i picked up when i heard a couple of geeks chatting.

anyways, 2-1 Murray.

I looked it up on urban dictionary, it means i dont know what i'm talking about, you're correct, lets move on................................

P.s- As uninformed and arbitrary my opinions on tennis appear to be i shall continue to convey them here with the same extemporaneous indolence as usual, that is all.

murrays shit......................see!

Yeah, useless!

hmmm- Bolt you say that 18 is the standard age for tennis players to "come of age"- well maybe in the females but not for mens- read an interesting wee article this morning about how murray is the exact same rank as what federer was at his age-21. He has time on his side. IMO he is still quite raw and his injury excuses also annoy me but I honestly do think he has it in him to become a tennis legend- and not just in this country

better than watching that poof tim

I bought a badminton racket for £35 once

Warinkwa to beat Safin at evs. maybe slightly better on Betfair is my tip for the next round.

I think Murray could squeeze through against Gasquet, but will then get his soul ripped apart by Nadal in the Quarters in 3 sets.

at least!! and thats IF he gets past next round

and? wtf that got to do with anything?

lets just get it over with, you can say englands crap and i'll say iron-bru's shit and we can get back to talking about tennis

I support Murray big time but the only thing that annoys me about him is when hes clearly about to lose (still to come) he usually starts rolling round the court holding his groin/ankle/hamstring/fingernail (delete as appropriate).

So im not sure how you can call our Tim a poof.

Tim's got a nice missus

LOL, tim was such a poof!!! used to jarr my head!!! made some serious money though backing against him in the quaters/semis over the years, prices so silly cos of all the english bods lumpining on him.

I was a bit meh about her, yeah i obv would but i could say that about most females.

you probs took my money

COME ON TIM!!!

Did it not annoy you that he's a typical scotsman who hates the english with his wearing a paraguay top antics imo he's a tit and is bitter like most scots are about they english doing better than them at most sports but a guess they've got one over us with the tennis now and probably most english sports fans will actually support him as unlike them we aren't so petty so gl to him... ... the to**er

you're right, theres something wrong with me, the blokes a national hero and listen to me run my mouth about how he's shit, FUCKING HERO...................COME ON TIM!!!
(http://img.thesun.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00352/TIM_352141a.jpg)

wtf are you on about? idiot.

Is this going to happen every weekend scotty m8 ??? Which part would you like me to explain for you

Windup right?

Typical Scotsman? Bitter? Petty? Tosser?

That post made you sound like a douche, and I won't even get started on the wall of text. Grammar please.

How, are you disagreeing with me that the majority of scottish men don't hate the England football team and care so much about us getting beat.

I called murray(whoopsie should've put a capital m shit) a tosser as he was blatantly trying to wind us up by wearing a paraguay top just before the world cup why does he give a fuck scotland weren't even in the tournament ffs do you not think this is petty no.I didn't say all scottish people as i'm not stupid enough(contrary to your opinion) to generalise a whole country of people in such a way however i'm pretty sure that the majority think this way.I do apologise for my appaling grammer however i don't really give a shit about getting my commas,fullstops and capital letters all correct before i make a post so i do apologise to you for that.

The first line of your previous post said that "he's a typical scotsman who hates the english", not sport related.

I wouldn't describe wearing the Paraguay top as petty, more like banter but he should have known better being in the public eye. Was always going to turn a tad sour.

I've already apologised to you on a different thread for maybe coming across wrongly with my opinion but i apologies again for that.I did mean as a sport related issue fort i'd got that bit across i honestly believe/know that a majority of scottish people thrive on seeing us disappointed and to lose at any sport we compete at.

Personally i like the scots they're normally good people that i've met (except i couple i had aggro with in a pizza shop when pissed once but thats another story lol) and get along with i just feel they're over the top with how much they want us to lose at everything.I like to see the scots doing well and was disappointed for themt that the got screwed by the ref in the italy game other way around and most scots would've been delighted and found it hilarious.

Right ok, fair enough. I just get annoyed with this shit about Andy - we played tennis together in our teens and are good mates so obv pisses me off when people abuse him. Going to give him a call tomorrow and tell him you said good luck.

YOU BOTH BETTER HAVE VOTED T-SHIRT FOR BOLT!!!!!!!

i voted ban

I ain't a tennis fan but i checked his score today and i wanted him to win, i am actualy a fan of his, i like him he has a good personality, but his trick with the paraguay top was just meh imo.Why do it except to piss people off.I'm sure he gets enough suppport to not need you to tell him of mine but yes i will be supporting him thru the rest of wimbledon and hope he goes on to win the tournament.

GL Andy Murray

PS He has something that henman never had when it comes to winning wimbledon ... ... The actual ability and cojones to do so.

COME ON TIM ANDY


For who me or bolt LOL or both

both obv

Bolt for a shirt imo off to vote now.

He'll get my vote when he stops tilting me on this thread

Im quite surprised that Murray is the favourite for todays match, was looking for some value and it may be Gasquet or Wawrinka.

my prediction is gasquet in 4 sets

Not sure if Murray will win but it should be a good match. Fingers crossed.

ONE TIME HEWITT!!

Got involved @ 15.0 would be a nice touch!

looks like me might have to do it in 5 tie breaks!

so sick!! win 1 time i promise to trade!

why?

seriously?

Yes. I don't understand why he'd have to win 5 tie breaks.

I didnt say have to, i said he might!

firstly its federer and it's just so hard to break his game and it's so much more likely that hewitts gonna get broken first, IMO he has to hold his own game untill the tie breaks and hope he runs good, when i posted that it was 6-6 in the first and just seemed the the way the match is gonna go

Do they have tie-breaks in the 5th set?  

oh yeah, two clear games innit?

ffs, alright, what i meant was hewitt is about his money at 14/1 and WILL have to do this the hard way ::)

It won't be easy for him.  Especially as he's been broken in the second set already.

Thought that's what you meant, but....

Broken twice now.

he's a touch fecked then if they've got to change the rules so he can win

Verdasco two sets to one and up a break in the 4th v. Ancic.

GG money

leave off, his mate Steve bought a racket for £50

+1.

I couldnt resist laying at 1.08 when it went to 5-5.

i didnt mention this the other day cos i wanted to seem like my tennis knowlege was greater that it might have been but he didnt pay cash, he used Argos vouchers that his aunt gave him for his birthday

Ban Federer from Wimbledon for the good of the game please.

and yr wallet!!

But surely that only means he REALLY knows what he's talking about? You don't just waste a good Argos voucher..he could have bought tonnes of jewelerry for his girlfriend with that £50.

and nadal from roland garros?

ffs, is thats Ancic match ever gonna end!

it would if they took your advice and had a 5th set tiebreak

why does no-one ever listen to Bolt

why oh why :(

FFS Murrays getting killed out there.

COME ON ANDY!!!

Sweet, just checked the first set score, had 7-5 Murray/7-5 Gasquet, shipppp

fcking murray acts like such a dick, i want him to lose so bad

Great set from Murray. 

Right back in it.  Innit.

Excellent stuff.

Kids great entertainment.

I love it how he gets so passionate and shows so much emotion.

1time Andy!!!

Tim Henman finally reveals his Blondepoker login.

wow Murray's done well, he was about to get knocked out last I heard on the radio on my way home.

Come on Murray

Tsk, naughty BBC.

The tennis was scheduled to be on BBC2 till 9pm, but they've switched to BBC1 (cancelling a programme on BBC1 and playing an unscheduled cooking thing on BBC2) purely so they can screw up Coronation Street's viewing figures.

[ x ] Nothing gets by Andrew

Over £1m traded at 1.01, 1.02 and 1.03 on BF for Gasquet - sick

Zomg if he wins this.

2-0 5-4 down, Gasquet serving for the match.

Plz Plz Plz.

Sounds sick but most of it is probably trading out and all said and done Murray hasn't finished him off yet although he's definetely got the upper hand and 6-0 looks far more likely than 13-11 in this last set.

Someone must have backed it for others to lay off though no?

I can't stand Murray, all that face puling and over acting makes me hate the guy more with every match he plays . Gasquet has to get rid of him

Was so tempted, and then realised it was wishful thinking.

 ;frustrated;

It's always the way Kin.  I'm deffo going to do it soon though, you only have to get one come in to make lots of money and the risk is low.  Gotta be worth it.

Murray looks much the fitter at this stage which shows how he has matured over the last 2 years, he's definetely got Gasquet well and truelly on the run here and as long as the light doesn't deteriorate he looks like being back at Wimbledon on wednesday to get his backside firmly whooped by Nadal.

[X] Good telly
[X] Murray will win this
[  ] Murray will beat Nadal on Wednesday
[  ] I type quicker than LLevan

Murray is playing inspired tennis at the moment.  Gasquet's head has gone.

QFMFT

wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii go murray

I hope Nadal dishes out a beating on Wednesday

When he was 50 on (1.02)- 2 sets and a break up -  if they played the match 100 times do you honestly believe Murray would have won at least twice, if so great bet to lay if not you would end up busto in the long run.

If he really is one our own he will still find a way to lose this imo.

Brag got on @ 11.0

Beat only put £15 on

£15. wtf?

Busto?

of course not, but there is always a 1.01 gets bashed in a big name match in a major tennis tourney.

Gasquet poised to fight back?  7s Ts

Personally I don't think he's got much fight left in him.........for Murray supporters let's hope the light holds up.

Wimbledon is poised for Crudel Scenes!

Gasquet's blown now.  No coming back.  Not unless it gets very dark, very quickly or rains.

I'm a mile from Wimbledon and there's nowt wrong with the light.

Blatant "I live in South London" post

Not much wrong with that lob either lol

FYP - living in 'South London' is nothing to boast about.

Blatant "I live in South West London not South London" post.

Now he didn't break serve at 4-2 I can't see this match finishing tonight.

Maybe I should edit my last post lol

;D

Seems they are intent on seeing Murray win having this match finish tonight..Surely you can't see 100 MPH services the way the light is now?

Well done to Murray for fighting back though but I think the officials are scared of the crowd's reaction should they abandon play.

IS THAT A MATCH POINT!!!!

murrays shit, he's gonna get ruined by nadal

no doubt Nadal will destroy him...he and Federer are different class.

He has to have the bottle to serve it out.

Perfect quote from McEnroe..............last game tonight either way.

lol @ how dark it is

yeah..Gatso is just getting ready to rob some houses FFS..

 rotflmfao

the guys about the biggest tosser in sport at the moment

top plan of yours to send wimbledon tickets to the first 50 people to give you their address. wp boldie

Agreed with Bolt, I can't stand the guy.

But - fair play.

Murray's mint as Gasquet blown away.

(Headlines in tomorrow's papers)

Dour Scot narrowly avoids defeat.

LooooooooL
Some come back though, he was dead and buried

That was absolutely incred. Shib it.

do they dope test tennis players ... last time i saw an outburst like that of Murrays, it was that cheating little Argentinian shit, Diego Maradonna.

Murray is on steroids, you heard it here first ;)



massive win though .. but alas as we have come to expect from Brits at Wimbledon, a severe beating awaits him in the quarters.

By Wednesday evening he will be Scottish again.

I remembered Alan Wells when you posted that and LOL'd

Quality great entertainment!

TY..mugs the lot of em..just wait until I send you that list of pokerplayers' houses :)

lol @ the people on here saying how much of a beating he will get in the Quarters by Nadal.

Isnt that kind of obv. Nadal will be 1/5 or shorter, its hardly a brave call.

cos of how shit murray is

Great match, and well played Murray...

Awesome match!

Many players wish they were shit enough to beat Federer more than once and have a winning head to head record against him.

Nadal has a 3-0 h2h but the 2 games not on clay were close. If you want to plough in at 1/5 go ahead but i wouldn't. If Murray is still riding high he has the game to win. Hopefully he can maintain this and not suffer a hangover.

Sandy

I am not or wasn't Murray's greatest fan but whatever happens against Nadal he's exceeded the expectations of his seeding


Needs a good second serve and more power to trouble Nadal though, if that comes in the next 18 months as he does more strength work then we may have a bona fide grand slam event winner on our hands

Totally agree about the second serve, that needs a lot of work especially on variety. Nadal must be drooling.

And his shot selection needs to improve too, although his over-use of the drop-shot does create some interesting rallies.

He will need at least 60/65% of his first serves in to give Nadal a run for his money,(ie win a set) imho.

Your last point Karabiner is a massive one - his serve was so inconsistent yesterday. If he serves well tomorrow he can be at least competitive.

He's been firing some c.135mph serves down and I can see him serving 140mph this time next year.

next year, next year, next year *yawn*

better make that two years just to be on the safe side cos he'll probably have a year of injuries

better make it three years just to make sure he's matured properly

Then you can think about him adding another 5mph to his serve so he can maybe slightly increase his chances on not getting slapped by the top boys so bad!

I didn't say that serving faster would make him any better.

You should stick to posting in threads where you have some idea what you are speaking about. That would kinda scunner you though.

To anyone who thinks he can win a Grand Slam in the next few years...

Nadal is only 22. Federer is 27.


Unless either both of them get injured I can't see Murray winning one in the next few years.

Cos they are the only two that win Slams.

Well..by some fluke someone managed it once..but I think it's fairly safe to say Murray would need to improve a lot and get lucky to win one in the next few years....unless he starts playing doubles.

LOL, firstly i didnt say you did, wasn't really the point of my post, who gives a shit about his serve? it's the mentality of Murray fans i was referencing which you've fatuously answered by completely deviating from that point, instead deciding to make the above statement which had no applicability as i neither suggested you think that or think it myself, although if i did  imagine that was your contention you could see where the confusion arose after you posted:(in response to a post about his serve).......If he serves well he can be at least competitive and then going on to say i can see him serving 140mph next year.

Just to clarify then as you're so evidently learned postulating over the the theory and pragmatics of tennis you say: "I didn't say that serving faster would make him any better" but believe in a year he's going to? therefore I'm to infer from the above it will make him worse?

You've also said on this thread that in a few years he'll be challenging the top players consistently, wow, that'll be a tad difficult with his faster serve that he's gonna have by then that wont make him any better, you're right this tennis stuff is confusing, i should leave it to the pro's like you who clealy have a clue what theyre talking about ::)



Of course you substantiated your assertion by suggesting i know nothing about tennis or anything else which is always a good way of displaying your communication skills in an enviroment condusive to debate
 :)up

Murray is already challenging and beating top players.  Gasquet was seeded 8th - so is surely a 'top' player?

He's won 5 ATP titles, and has earned over $2,000,000 in tournament winnings. 

So he's not a Federer - who is (other than Federer)?  He's not a Nadal either - but look at how dominant Nadal would be if Federer wasn't around.

He'll be going back into the Top 10 of the world rankings after Wimbledon.  He's still a miserable, dour sod off the court, but he's definitely a 'top' tennis player.

Is the right answer imo.

Murray at Tennis >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Poulter at Golf

I don't think Murray will beat Nadal but i don't think he's going to get as badly crushed as some people seem to think.

Yes Nadal is immense at the moment but the tennis Murray has played this last week has been superb. If, as some have said, he can get a good first serve percentage in, i think it'll be a pretty cracking match.

play nicely children ... no flaming please.

Last chance saloon ... take it to PM's guys.

I am trying to eat my dinner here ... any more and you get a 24 hour ban. BOTH OF YOU.

???? what messages are you refering to? theres nothing here? just a succsession of your posts, who was arguing?

you just trying to make yourself the centre of attention kev, alright then kev, you got the spotlight, we're all lookin at you know ::)

I dont know what these phantom comments entailed but can i still say murrays shit?

Yes, but you aint getting a T-Shirt.

ffs, ive done me t-shirt now!

good luck to mister murray but cant see past 3 sets to love to nadal im afraid

lolool McEnroe pwned Henman there, classic

Obv Henman mouthed "fuck off" there

bloody rain

And can you believe the replay they decided to show from 6 years ago also had a rain delay, so now theres nothing!!

lol

...and Federer's off!  2-0 in games already.

He's amazing

A Faultless first set

Still thinking £425@1.07 was a bit pointless!

3-0 @ 2/11 is hoooogee...

2-0 in sets now.

Phenomenal.

;tightend;

gl murray ... would be a major shock, but we have all seen major shocks before.

and yeah gl murray

hoping donkey murray gets slapped

Tee-shirt for Bolty if Murray wins ?

different class first set, he made donkey murray look closer to a ball boy than a tennis player

yeah, I can't fancy Murray.

To be honest, Nadal looked like he was only in second gear for the first set, and can step it up anytime.

If murray wins, bolty gets a hoody AND a T-shirt .. with "BOLTY LOVES ANDY MURRAY" on.























this offer is subject to change at my discretion ;)

Anyone want to bet against a Federer v Nadal final?

:dontask:

He's getting slapped sooooooooooooooooo bad, i'm laaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrving it!!!!!!!

 rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao

WHAT A SHOT NADAL JUST PLAYED!..?Jesus!

Murray making too many mistakes, come on Andy, big comeback time.

Jesus?  Did he go cross-court?

come on murray, you can do it, here comes the come back, just remember this when you made yourself look like a complete prick hero.........

qft

 yeah i do

How much?

And can I get in on that action?..what are the odds you're laying?..

...and do you take plastic, and were did I put the mortage deeds?

  what odds u layin on i not been them

Name your price.

  if you win ill buy you 5 pints if i win you have to go all in every hand in the first level at blackpool

if not i will take 10s

 ;smackedbottom;

You buy me 10 if I win; I'll buy you 10 if you win.

Deal?

Anyone laying Murray? 

so you want evens lol ure funny

I'll give you 2/1 then if you want. 

Deal?

Dunk you're nuts m8 LOL. Murray was always likelt to lose he played really poor imo he's a lot better than how he played today

i need 2 make some money back after my roommate couldnt  get in top 100 of a easy 1000 runner comp lol

my  five pints against ure 12  you have a massive edge       i like the all in idea better how confident r u

what's up with our press, the guy interviewing Nadal is just asking about Murray.  It does annoy me when they do that.  The guy did it on 5 Live with Federer yesterday.  They've not got him for about 4 years or something, so when they do, they brisk over general chit chat and his chances, then bash in with Murray questions.

GG Rafa, vwp

Yea that annoys me too.

Rafa was pretty amazing, Murray was totally outclassed but he can play a lot better than he did. Nadal Federer final is going to be immense.

I didn't see it but did it go like this?;


"How did it feel to spank Murray soo badly?"

"Who?"

"The guy across the net from you hitting the ball back"

"All I saw was a big ugly ball of hair with a racket."

"When you were serving for the match, did you think "Ohno, Gasquet blew it here! I can't afford to do the same"?"

"No, I just thought.."WOW, look at the biceps on that ugly ball of hair"! And then I thought; "I wonder if Roger wants a game of tennis on the Wii tonight"

Feeling less confident?

I said to you to let me know if you were going to lose out and i'd sort it out with you.Robert HM was looking for someone to share with, i told him to pm you but think he's booked something now.I've lost £60 off the train which is a shitter but nmind.

PS I know you were joking but as i've said(and also said in pm i sent you) i was happy to sort it with you

lol i was jokn but thanks 4 the bite     ive got a feelin safin will do federer

rotflmfao

Lol yeah...all the formguides point to Roger getting stuffed lol

yes   i will bet my 4 pints against ure 8 then

Done.  You have been.

Nadal is a machine.

He crushes Federer in the final for me.

he hasn played anyone half as good as federer yet i will give you action on this nearer the time

Did you see Federer today?

rotflmfao

Still  rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao Hard

New name on the trophy this year - Nadal FTW

Still very backable too with Federer 8/13

Cos i iz a gambler couldnt resist the 28/1 on Safin...Federer could break his leg and Nadal will fail a drugs test.

I would be surprised if Nadal wins tbh.

I'd be surprised if Federer drops another set in the Championship this year.

really? i would expect a Fed/Nad final to be another 5 setter

I would still go for Federer if asked for a winner though

He might drop one against Nadal - but I think that'll be it.

Dam our lass bet on williams sister final, she has bragging rights till i pick a decent winner now :(

Federer 2-0 up in games already.

3-0 after 8 minutes.

game over!

Wow - Nadal drops a service game. 

;gobsmacked;

Right, off to DTD.

Well done Laura Robson. Great effort!

Yeah well played Laura and a refreshing feisty attitude, in the interview afterwards when asked about the Williams sisters, she said "I will take em down!!!" (laughing with a big smile on her face).

Yes, though any TV footage of her should have a 'Watch it lads, she's only 14' warning on screen.

I LOL'd and blushed ;)

...and I nodded.

Ta Nem...

oooo just come back on...

1.37 Nadal seems a bit tempting!

How many break points has Fed failed to convert?

only 1 from 12 lst time I counted...he is throwing this match away 25 unforced errors...you just can't do that against Nadal.

why dont they put a roof on it same old story every year

will be one by next year i think

just put a big tarp over it

PLZ BEAT THIS CLAY MONKEY ONE TIME.

QFT

Has Nadal got a touch of the old farmer giles ?

He keeps scratching his botty every couple of points.... ;bumwiggle;

I noticed that the other day :D

HUGE.

as if u bottle it there!

Feel the pressure

so sick

This is incredible

Come on Rafa

sickest tie break of all time

Best tie-breaker I've ever seen FACT

ONE MF TIME PLZ

Well .........

This is unbelievable.
Federer is the best champ i have ever seen...FACT.

im cracking up here

the two passing shots were just amazing.

Superb tennis.  I could watch this all night.

wow...

It could happen, there's no tie-break in the fifth set....

I think the Fed will come good here.  Seriously thought he blown it earlier.   But was massive for Nadal to have two match points only for his bottle to crash.

+1..momentum is with Federer now...amazing final.

The last person to have Championship Point and lnot convert was in 1948 rotflmfao

so sick

[  ] Everyone is glad rain came

   [  ] taking  millions pf years to decide 2 put a roof on was a good idea

so what's the final set score going to be??

I'm going for 10-8 Federer (if it's more than that I'll be exhausted never mind them!!)

Does anyone know what price was for fed to win when 2 sets down

was guna av a bet on but went to pub instead FK MY LIFE

9-7 Nadal ldo

wow, what a point to win game 14

That whiney, high-pitched scream the Centre Court crowd makes puts me on tilt.

wow, that shot for Nadal going 15-40 up was immense.

So huge. Nadals finally won one of his 100 break points.

gogogo Rafa, 1 time.

wow, what a return

Crazy good return facing match point.

hugeeeeeee, wiiiiiii. Rafa is a machine.

Gutted.

ZOMG

The greatest match i have ever seen.

what an incred match, absolutely brilliant. wp both. gg.

+1..what a match, what atlethes...

Nadal is re writing the fundamentals.

One of the best iv seen for definite.

I cant believe he won, the kid deserved it bigtime.

Rogers brilliant too.

Absolutely superb!

Rafa seems like a top guy. Glad he won.

gg Fed, put up one hell of a fight.

Nadal surely the world's best now?

Fed has had a few illnesses and injures this year, but yes, Rafa will be the new #1 next year.

True. I'd love to see Federer give Nadal that kind of game on clay next yr.

Absolutely no chance.

Will Fed break 14 slams? I dunno know tbh...

Rafa to rule now ... on all surfaces...

hmmm, there are a few players who will be able to hit Nadal off of the hard courts...

http://www.wimbledon.org/en_GB/scores/stats/day14/1127ms.html

Interesting stats.

Shows how well Nadal played.

27 Unforced Errors in 62 Games, lost his serve once...

Brilliant match, from two brilliant players.  Federer did make unforced errors - but they were 'forced' through Rafa's relentless play.

Some fantastic rallies and the BEST tie-break ever.  Better than the Borg v McEnroe one imo.

Next year is going to be very interesting, the mark of a true champion is how they bounce back, and Federer is a true champion - as is Nadal of course.

There was £49 million matched on the Federer v Nadal market on Betfair.

a record?

For a tennis match, sure. I don't know about other sports.

Fk my life, i went out of the way yesterday to make sure i watched the final in between grinding. When the first rain break i thought sod this rafa is going to win, i will play another session. I finish my sesh to see 7-7 in the final set, so gutted and i wanted Federer to win, tho i have nothing against Nadal.

yep, amazing stuff, nadal deserved it, untold bottle after federer came back to 2-2

I know i dig murray out a lot but i was thinking that with these two about for the next x years murrays gonna come to the end of his career looking at henmans 4 Wimbledon semi final appearences with envy.
