I got no use for tennis. none at all.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

BBC Sport says that Andy has pulled out of Wimbledon with a "heavy heart".
Could have sworn he had a hip injury.

Don't be rude sonny. It is an elitist sport in Betty's UK, therefore an oike such as yourself should be scorned at Wimbledon.

Wouldn't have thought too many of the current players were actually born under a communist regime.

Going with Federer and Petra Kvitova.

Between Nadal fitness, Murrays long lay off and Djokovics poor form Federer should be in the running. Won in Stuggart and runner up in Halle, form is good.

In the womens, anyone but Williams, Kerber and Halep not the best on grass, Petra Kvitova to win her third Wimbledon title. After all she has been through fantastic to get back up there at Birmingham last week, hopefully she can hit on.
So when you say anyone but Williams and Kerber.....

I believe the correct expression for such a tosser in Olde Lahndan Taaan is, "a bleedin' dry lunch".

For the sake of clarity, I have not seen a single stroke, mens or weemins and indeed if the entire field had strokes and expired I would only miss Rafa Nadal, a national hero. :D

Mate. If you can catch highlights of those first three sets last night, enough to turn Sammy Wilson gay I'll tell you

Total sexism from the men playing over an extra 100 games to force the women's possible 3 set extravaganza of a final to wait a couple of hours.

Sure the weemin wrapped it.up quick enough. If they look sharp they'll still be home in time to get the tea on.

Great point Billie Jean King or someone just made in commentary about the superb fitness levels of the modern woman tennis player.
I mean to beat a working mum in an 18 game tennis marathon final is nothing short of an Herculean effort.
Or whoever the female equivalent of Hercules was.

Maybe you should go in for the mixed doubles. See how you get on. :D
