If we get Karlovic/Montanes instead of Verdasco/Tsonga, I will cry.

Verdasco serves 83% and loses the 1st to Montanes. I need to watch that match too.

I love Chat, but he should have just quit. I don't want another set of Fowler/McEnroe going "OH HO HO YOURE KIDDING ME THE GENIUS OF FEDERERER" when he hits a slice in the court.

From the looks of things, Roger's going to run away with it in the fourth. And Chat's already used his annual Slam upset with Nole at RG. Eh. We've got Tim Henman and Mark Petchey calling the match.

Wimbledon-Andy ‘Curry’ enjoying Wimbledon downtime
By Tom Pilcher
LONDON, June 26 (Reuters) - Andy Murray clearly isn’t letting the expectation of becoming Britain’s first men’s Wimbledon champion since 1936 get too much for him if the way he uses his downtime is anything to go by.
The 22-year-old third seed, whose backroom team have had to succumb to a sequence of playful forfeits during the championships, has started a tennis player-food name game. Does a Lleyton Chewit get your tastes buds tingling? Or how about a James Flake to pop in your ice cream?
“John MacEnrolo, Cod woodbridge, mardy fishcakes, prawn borg, martina haggis, mince spadea, egg rusedski, spotted dick norman. Too good,” the Scot mused on his Twitter social networking site.
Murray cruised into the third round of the championships on Thursday, and is due to play Serbia’s Viktor Troicki—or should that be Viktor Turkey?—on Saturday. (Editing by Miles Evans; To query or comment on this story email sportsfeedback@thomsonreuters.com)

Am I the only one rooting for SexyDomi against Vesnina? She's just surrendered the break she had and leads 2-1 in the final set.

He loses his first service point of the set to hand the minibreak back. He flubbed an easy forehand volley instead of punching it.
Greg Rusedski, one of the commentators, just held up five fingers to indicate he thinks the match is going 5 sets.

I fully support Ivo's thrusting. He's a MAN. Men's tennis.
He's going to dispose of the Metrosexual next.

Probably. In fact I wholly support a 7-6 7-6 7-6 win over the Fed, were it to come to that.
So, I don't think Fish has much of a chance against Djokovic, no matter how much ESPN tries to convince me otherwise.

ESPN has been odd today. Ignoring Azza's match with two rising cute players, and hyping Fish/Nole for some reason. Even their "experts" saying its a pick'em. Uh, no. Not that Fish doesn't have a chance, but he never does anything outside of US MM shit events.
