    Yeah, that serve is a thing of beauty, I'll give him that. But without it he wouldn't even be able to hang in big games. Good match though.
    That was the thing that got me into Tennis, watching Roddick. That serve, I could watch it all day. Fuck knows how he does it. Gael Monfils does a shit version of it. Yes it was a good match. Janko upset Gonzalez last year I remember, very underrated player.

    Tip will come into his own next year; mark my words. I think conditioning has been a big problem overall with him.

    I really liked watching Monfils slide around on the clay in the French Open, outside of the French Open he was probably my favorite to watch on the men's side in the French Open.

    I like Monfils; he hasn't reached his potential yet. I don't think he is as dedicated as he should be. A top 5 player if he gets his mind right.

    Yeah and fatigue seems to be a problem for him, but yeah he's an entertaining one. Roddick lost.

    Monfils is a good player, just a lil inconsistent. He hits some great shots at times.

    I see Ana Ivanavich was suprisingly knocked out today. Along with Sharapova yesterday this now leaves the field wide open for a possible William's sister to suprisingly get another Wimbledon final

    Murray is through as well and on course for his heartbreaking quarter finals attempt defeat. Bring on the rain

    Yeah Ana got taken to school by a Chinese player named Ling Ping or something. Ana started crying in the 2nd set at 3-2 for the break Haha.

    My girl Safina still in there though, and Jelena Jankmyd#ck also. Serena is gonna have major problems with Mattek on Sunday; I hope she gets smacked back home. Tired of seeing her fat a## hanging out of her shorts

    I can't wait to see Murray lose and have a temper tantrum

    Has the rain started yet? 48 hours of no play and non stop reruns of John McEnroe vs Jimmy Connors on the BBC is another Wimbledon tradition.

    Honestly they could secretly cancel Wimbledon one year and screen reruns of the previous year's tournament and nobody would be any the wiser

    What a match with Andy Murray!! Never really liked him due to his pouting all the time; but what a war with Gasquet. Down 2 sets and behind 5-2 in the 3rd; and Andy just gets possessed. Then smoked Gasquet in the 4th set and wins in the 5th at 4 hr. mark. Even if you don't like tennis you should check out the match from the 3rd set on. Best tennis I've seen Murray play yet. Too bad he plays Nadal next

    Williams sisters both win; my girl Safina out, Jankovic out; Kusnetsova out, Ivanovich out. Pretty much playing out like Bilbo said
