Then turn the sound off and just watch those legs.

My wish is granted. emoticon Well the later part anyway.

Re: Tennis Thread

That's the problem with the women's game, eh Ben? The matches in the early rounds are too easy for the top seeds....

I'ts not exactly easy in the mens. Djokovic is out and Nadal was given a fright today. Only Fed and Murray are having it easy.
Lets not drag up the old equal pay debate although I still think the women should play 5 sets, after all do are all after equality. emoticon

Re: Tennis Thread

Shahrapva losing was certainly a shock but I'm not sure Nadal losing a set was a fright.

Maybe not, but he was 1 set all and in a tie break in the third. I'm sure his backside was twitching a bit. emoticon Gulbis has played well at the French and Wimbledon now. Could be a top 10 player by the end of the year I reckon, certainly next year.

Chris Eaton played ok last night, but was beaten by a better player in the end. Apparently, his ranking is due to go up about 200 places!!!

He was around the 600 mark so will come down to around 400

Correct. A good run for Murray could see his ranking jump up a bit as he didn't play Wimbledon last year.

I hope Murray goes out in the next round.
