    Think tennis is a fantastic sport and rarely is the womens competition as the good as the mens.

    Think federrer for the mens title again..


    not sure about the womens title. Probably a williams sister

    Women's tennis is nearly always a better spectator sport than the mens in modern times.

    The men's has suffered from an over reliance on brute force and the absolute dominance of one to the virtual exclusion of all others. These circumstances do not make for enjoyable watching.

    The women's game on the other hand has produced a variety of winners of the very highest quality and while the power game has become more influential it doesn't dominate.

    Personally speaking I enjoy good doubles matches the most.

    just threw a 10 on him to win it, at 4/1

    worth the risk i think

    edit - looks like a big fat waste of money 2 sets down and now 5-2 in games down

    i also like him, why dont you like him Venom, is it because of the media coverage he gets.

    If you have watched his interviews he seems to come across as a decent lad

    Murray is a good player but if he is to make himself a permanent fixture in the Worlds top 2 he will have to beat the likes of Verdasco (Australian), Roddick (Wimbledon), Gonzalez (French) and Cilic (US) every time he plays them. No excuses losing to these guys, u never see Federer or Nadal getting upset by them, they are lucky to get a set off the 2 big boys.

    If Nadal beats Gonzalez in todays finish, I fancy Juan Martin Del Potro to turn Nadal over in the semi finals. Thats my prediction, you heard it here first!ha.
