Anyone for tennis?

I used to hate Wimbledon: it meant The Simpsons weren't on for a fortnight

Now I know the rules I enjoy it, and watching Queen's today was a mixed bag. Henman got beat

But then Mam told me Lleyton Hewitt was playing Ivo Karlovic so I came through to watch. In a horrible deja vu for Hewitt, the world number two, he got beat by a six foot ten unseeded Croatian!!!!!

Poor little Hewitt was almost cwying as he left court, in fact I think he was! It was brilliant! Go Karlovic!!!!!

Yes, Yes, Yes!

Can't wait for Wimbledon- I'll be glued to the set......

needmoremeat · 10 Jun 2005, 23:18

Yeah, so will my Mam! Dad hates it when she spends the whole two weeks sitting there!

But why do we put ourselves through the same torture every year?......If it's an easy game for our players I'll watch it, or if it's a neutral; but if it's a nail biting, five setter with each set going to tie break I can't watch it!

Me and Mam will have to go there one year, purely so I can buy a huge tennis ball and get players to sign it!

Never used to watch it but really got in to it last year when Maria Sharopova was playing, dont know why

I will be watching her again...

(dont know weather that is how you spel her name??? )

Well, he doesn't know it, but Karlovic is my new best friend for beating Hewitt twice!

We now have two weeks with an excuse to play solid cliff richard music!!!

I watch sometimes tennis.. I think it´s boring.. But I know the rules.. I used to be as a ballgirl when my dad played with my uncle..

needmoremeat · 29 Jun 2005, 21:22

Anyone know if Roddick won today? I can't be bothered to check Google!

I know, I'm lazy!

Never mind, Mam's just came in and told me he won and that Nalbandian's out
