Wimbledon
Anyone here keeping an eye on the tennis? I've watched quite a few matches this year, maybe a British player will finally win at Wimbledon. There's no doubt there's a good chance Murray could pull it off, especially with Nadal absent, but with Federer on good form it's going to be tough. Not to mention other players who could cause him trouble, notably Verdasco who beat him fairly recently.
Any thoughts from my fellow Orgahs?

A Murray - Federer final would be amazing, potentially rivaling the Nadal - Federer final from last year. Don't know if Murray 'll be able to pull it off against Federer though. Murray's a great player, but Federer is in good form lately and that usually means he doesn't lose on grass.

Agreed. Even if Murray gets to the final (which I'm not sure he will) the chances of beating Federer are slim.Originally Posted by Dutch_guy

Murrays good and everything but the fact remains that Federer is still phenomenal. I just don't see Murray beating the current great of our generation.

What a nailbiter tonight!
In other good news, Verdasco, who can cause Murray problems, is out. On the other hand, Karlovic who got through instead has one of the most monstrous serves I've seen...

SOMEONE BEAT LLEYTON!
GRAAAAAH.
There is an Australian left: good!
Its Lleyton Hewitt:

Despite being quite a fervently patriotic Brit, I couldn't help but root for Wawrinka yesterday. Partly because I'm living Switzerland, partly because I felt a bit sorry for Wawrinka when practically the whole crowd was cheering whenever he made a double fault (many of Murray's supporters in the crowd looked and acted more like football hooligans than tennis fans), but mostly because I think he's an arrogant little twerp who needs to learn a bit of humility.
Now Federer, there's a real sportsman, a true gentleman of the tennis courts.

Re: Wimbledon
I believe Roddick and Federer are fighting it out in the final.
Any final without Lleyton is a good one.
Re: Wimbledon
Well Federer won, how boringly predictable..
Kudos to Roddick, he deserved it way more than Federer.

Re: Wimbledon
Amazing match, and what a cruel ending. Was hoping Roddick would take it down, but on the other hand I wanted Federer to break yet another record. Sad one of them had to lose.

Glad to hear Federer made it again. Pity I had absolutely no chance to see it.
